"With a history of using athletic prowess to sell fast food products, American restaurant chain McDonald's purchased major sponsor status for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, in addition to sponsoring several American teams competing at the event. McDonald's also invested in a major advertising campaign around the event. In addition to the sponsorships and advertising, McDonald's prepared to repeat a successful giveaway promotion they deployed during the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montréal, Quebec, Canada, where customers were offered a chance to win products when the American tea...

Given the complexity of medical operations, it seems euthanasia would be the one procedure that couldn't go wrong. That is not the case. "Euthanasia (from Greek: εὐθανασία, lit. 'good death': εὖ, eu, 'well, good' θάνατος, thanatos, 'death') is the practise of intentionally ending life to eliminate pain and suffering. Different countries have different euthanasia laws. The British House of Lords...

    Love you q-bert, have a good Sunday bro. To the video tho-- idk why they didn't attach looped cables around either end of the plastic coffin to heavy machines like excavators or backhoes.... or to metal o-rings fixed to either end. They could've pulled him up in seconds. I'm a stats guy.. wet concrete weighs 4000 LBS PER CUBIC YARD.. a c.y. is 3 feet tall x 3 feet wide x 3 feet deep .. a cubic yard is 27 square feet. - an average grave is 6 feet deep by 8 feet long by 2 feet wide....... thats 96 sqf... 3 cu.yd. could've easily fit, making the total weight to something like 12,000 or more pounds of concrete. (Came back to edit) 1 foot x 1 foot x 1 foot = a square foot. Height x length x width. He had waaay more than 4000lbs of concrete weighing on him.. it was probably close to 8k to 10k.. Maybe more. Plastic cant handle that. Why did they not guarantee a failsafe!.. I feel awful rewatching this video knowing nobody suspected this kind of thing.
