Description

In this video I go month by month through the year 2016, covering the biggest, weirdest and most memorable things that happened, from the Brexit referendum to the death of a beloved gorilla... Fascinating History posts weekly videos about infamous flops, failures and mistakes from throughout history... and whatever other weird stories from the past catch my eye. Thanks for watching! And a special thank you to Alex Fenton, who prepared the script for this video. *LINKS:* 🔗 ► My other channel: https://www.youtube.com/@FascinatingHorror ► Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/fascinatinghorror | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN5TIBm-idJXOa6BUh3sjuA/join ► Follow me: https://twitter.com/FunHistoryTales | https://www.instagram.com/funhistorytales/ | https://www.facebook.com/funhistorictales/ ► Get in touch: [email protected] *CHAPTERS:* 🔖 ► 00:00 - Intro ► 00:17 - January ► 03:06 - February ► 06:46 - March ► 09:06 - April ► 11:36 - May ► 14:07 - June ► 15:47 - July ► 19:18 - August ► 21:50 - September ► 24:02 - October ► 26:18 - November ► 28:23 - December *MUSIC:* 🎵 ► "Seagull" by Telecasted *SOURCES:* 📑 ► "David Bowie did not know he was dying until final few months" by Hannah Ellis-Petersen, published by The Guardian, January 2017.
