Hovercraft, Concorde, and the Dreams of the 1970s

http://tomscott.com - http://twitter.com/tomscott - Hovercraft were the future. So what went wrong? I had a brief stop on the Isle of Wight last week, and had one chance to get this video. Turns out hovercraft are loud, and you shouldn't stand too close behind one.

Correction to this video: a comma got moved in the script. The section about Concorde should read "after one of the planes crashed, in 2003 the airlines decided...". Punctuation's important! All corrections on this channel are at https://www.tomscott.com/corrections/
