I work in a bookstore that is dying, I don't know if I'll have a job there anymore within the next couple years, in a small town that was in the path of totality. I have seen more customers today than I have in my entire time working there. I had more sales today than I could have imagined, and it was all thanks to these people that had come from various parts of the country, and my own community. I'm thankful that I met so many new faces from so many places today, as well as so many familiar ones. It truly made the world feel not as miserable, even if it was only for today.
This is amazing
OMG this made me tear up. It must have been amazing! Good luck to you. 😁💚
I am so sorry that business is Not going well
Love Bookstores
They are my chapel!!
no lie, id watch that movie!
I am a delivery driver and worked today but got to take a break to watch the eclipse. It was awesome to watch. Minutes before totality, I had a bumble bee frantically flying around me and my vehicle. Then another showed up, then another. Right before totality I had about 10 bumble bees sporadically flying around me in a sort of panic. It was odd. They came out of nowhere lol. I also happened to be in a neighborhood while working when it all happened and I could hear the hundred or so people outside watching from their homes cheering and honking/blowing horns when it happened. It was definitely an awesome experience.
my dad also said he got swarmed by the bees around his house! poor things were so confused. 🥹
IIRC some bees use the sun as guidance to get to flowers and their home. They didn't have their GPS available, haha.
The people honking sound awful I want to hear the animals not the people
@@princesscherry5217the bees thought they stayed out all night and couldn’t find their home, how sad
Phil bringing up Heroes hit me right in the feels. That was my favorite show growing up, so much so that I ended up meeting Milo Ventimiglia at comic con 4 different times. A true Gem of a man.
I just watched the whole thing! Hits different now. Your turn!
I saw that man fuck a loaf of bread. Changed my entire life view god bless Milo
I wanna go back...
Aircraft mechanic here, that Southwest engine just didn't have the fan cowls latched properly. While it looks scary it doesn't pose any real threat to passengers. They'll just do some inspections for damage, replace the cowls, and send the bird on its way.
bird
As someone working in the aviation industry, it's important to include the details here. The engine, made by CFM (a joint venture of GE aviation and Safran) looks to be ok. The panel on the outside that rips off is called the fan cowling and it's part of the "nacelle" which just means "the bit that houses the engine".
It is very likely that the cowling ripped off because the maintenance team, who could just be performing routine inspection, did not correctly latch the cowling.
There are 2 worrying parts:
1. The nacelle is made by Spirit, the same company who has come under scrutiny for the door plug incident.
2. If the cowling came loose for other reasons such as a fan blade cracking, this would raise further questions.
Whilst this is another instance of a Boeing plane having issues, it's important to remember Boeing do not design and make the entire aircraft, we should point the blame to the appropriate responsible and not just assume because it's a Boeing plane it's a Boeing problem.
And no, I don't work for Boeing or any company that is affiliated with them.
Definitely not the fan blade, that would have been a much more severe incident. Engines are built to contain blades breaking off, but it will destroy the whole engine.
I completely disagree that we should give a pass to Boeing for not designing this. This is their plane and their vendor. Them going with the cheapest vendors is part of the problem
@@shankyoncloud7420I’m not an aircraft mechanic, but lol?
How many hours has this plane been in service in its lifetime?
This is a (probably) a maintenance issue.
As someone who identifies as totally 100% correct (without the resume or credentials) and definitely not a professional.. I disagree.
Births should receive blame. The problem with Boeing is that they very very rarely do any sort of oversight of their subcontractors and hires whichever ones will offer them the cheapest price.
@@shankyoncloud7420 This isn't a vender situation, it's a glorified cab company whose local modification is causing issues and/or their repair crew goofing up big time.
Boing planes number around 10,000 worldwide, that being 42% of the total planes up there, with 90% of the world's cargo being on those planes. Considering that the accidents happening look to be a parts either made by the Airplane companies and/or sloppy oversight and repair, it isn't Boings fault. In this case it falls under regulations of countries and goverments.
it was so crazy hearing the birds slowly piping down and the peepers and crickets slowly waking and making their music as it darkened here in maine, and then going back to silence minutes later and the birds starting again. it was just an awe inspiring day watching the eclipse
The "Dumber animals" putting on a show lol
i noticed the quiet too. i never associated the constant hum of outside with animals but it’s not like my campus turned off electricity and air conditioning during the eclipse. it was all those loud animals i guess. that’s wild.
I was in a park where a bunch of Canadian geese were hanging out and they slowly stopped chattering as the eclipse happened. Once it ended they all flew into the pond, and everything else was so still you could hear all their wings flapping and their feet skim the water. It was surreal, the pictures and videos you see of eclipses really don’t capture the change in energy of that moment. And I live in Michigan, I’m not even in the path of totality.
I’m glad you got to experience it. I was stuck inside my grocery store job and FINALLY managed to get outside probably about an hour after the noticeable part dissipated. Guess we’ll see if I make it to the 44’ eclipse lol
ayoooo fellow Mainiac! Nice!
Got to see the eclipse paddling on Lake Hamilton in Arkansas; someone nearby blasted “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” crickets were chirping, our surroundings were in twilight, and we got to see the event with our own eyes. Awesome.
Compliments to the research team and editors. You're work helping Phil bring us the show is appreciated.
A few years ago I got out the technician/mechanic field and told some guys: "I'm genuinely scared how the world will look when the techs and mechanics that are treated bad stop working, quit or the worst, don't care"
Lately, I've been seeing more and more "technical issues" that cause in deaths... I hate to say it, but it's going to get worse and worse... technicians and mechanics have been treated as unimportant or like shit for years, and now more and more are getting tired of it.
It scares me how there's more techs quitting than being hired, and the knowledge leaves and the agencies are left with green techs that have no knowledge to tackle the things that were easy, you even have big manufacturers putting out free classes so you work as a tech for them like Porsche and to an extent Boeing.... it scares me for the future, but that field put me in a bad place, so bad that I sat for hours looking at my plate of food and just not thinking of anything, I'm sorry but I'm human too....
I didn't even think about this aspect but this is a very good point. Thank you for posting it.
and here i thought getting a job in the tech field was a sure fire paycheck.
there is a similar issue with the Medical field too i hear. i know a few people who work as Nurses and they sometimes have to deal with some of the worst kinds of people. one person i know changed hospitals they worked at because they got tired of being treated like shit.
It's not just techs and mechanics. All trades are starting to get tired of being treated like shit. Used to be, the wages were worth it. But now, the wages aren't keeping up with inflation, and it's no longer worth risking life and limb. So many of my former co-workers are quitting to go work an office job because, "if I can make just as much or more in a place where the worst that can happen is a papercut, why would I break my back?"
I was trying this to some one. I don't believe the problem is largely Boeing. It's most likely the airports treatment and pressures put onto maintenance workers. I can easily imagine a worker being pushed and pressured with time restraints to get a job done, even If the it would take longer. Then the problems that were overlooked get passed onto the next worker under the same pressures. Who can't even complete them due to issues that should've been handled previously getting passed onto them.
This a problem in every industry. I'm a forklift driver and I've seen countless pallets placed on top another and it collapse the lower. And it's just left there. not picked up and moved to the side and dealt with. I'll come by look at "ugh wtf, who did this. why? I don't have time to deal with it."
It's a very frustrating part of our world. Standards are important. Upper management need to understand that there standards for completion of a task isn't reality.
That is happening everywhere. Its like every business keeps coming to the same conclusion, ruining the company is so profitable no one is thinking about what happens when everything is gutted, just like climate change there is no responsibility or consequences for people ruining billions of profitable business reasources by overworking and stressing human resources
I was able to witness the eclipse in Oklahoma with my kids. There is something to be said about how surreal the experience is. As the sun was covered, sliver by sliver, the collective audience simmered down. When it was finally fully covered, there was a sublime placidity as the land went dark.
Cricket chirped to life, cows mooed in distress, coyotes howled, the streetlights for the town came on, then cheers. Happy, healthy, human cheers. Adults applauded, children laughed in bewilderment, and everyone connected at how uniquely complex the surroundings became. The air was cooler and immediately that clashed with the warmed air of the day, which created a moisture like being lightly misted with a fan on you. You see the daylight fleeing from you as the day-night looms over head.
Another thing that made my experience supremely amazing was that we had an overcast that would break every so often. This actually worried me at first, but the clouds parted, and for the times it slid in front of the eclipse, it was thin enough to shade it and allow this beautiful silver shimmering ring to be seen.
Absolutely incredible, and I'm glad I got to experience with my kids.
This one wasn't full where I live, just 93% covered which is enough to make it almost dark out and the clouds did the same exact thing here. But the 2017 one came right over my town, and it was amazing. That one was middle of summer, cloudless skys and 95° out, which dropped to around 70ish when sun was covered. They didn't let school out for this one like they did in 2017, but they let the kids go outside and watch it though.
Very well described!!!👏👏👏👏👏
I agree with another commenter on how you described this. If you don't write professionally please consider doing so. I felt like I experienced it with you, we got very little coverage here, but it was still beautiful.
I was lucky enough to see it in 2017 in a vast canyon in Wyoming. Surreal indeed. I couldn’t get myself to watch today out of the path because nothing will ever beat the experience of the full thing! I hope to travel and see it again in my lifetime. The energy you feel of everyone’s awe is incredible. Some of our group cried, some laughed, some screamed. It was incredible. A full 360 degree sunset. You described it perfectly ❤
It really was nothing special.
Sometimes I look at the video titles and play them in my head to the tune of "We Didn't Start the Fire" and see how well they fit.
I live in the burbs near Dallas. We had 3-1/2 minutes of totality and clear skies. It was amazing. We could hear the kids at the school a half mile away squealing in delight. Honestly, one of the most spectacular things I've ever seen. What struck me most was how white the corona looked, and how black the moon looked. The contrast was so sharp. Truly, nothing like it. It was worth the 49-year wait.
I almost forgot the eclipse was happening, thank God Sonic was giving free glasses out with their eclipse drink
Gawd I wish I knew this 4 hours ago
@@nerdikles just for future reference, you can always use a piece of paper and poke a hole in it and the shadow the hole casts on the ground/surface will be a shadow of the eclipse!
Is Sonic a brand or franchise?
@@ghostrouxinol6169 sonic fast food I think unless they mean sonic the hedgehog lol
The drink is honestly the best dessert I've had from there I really wished it wasn't limited time only
The illusion of nighttime and the temperature drop during the eclipse was surreal to experience in real-time. It really felt like something out of a movie.
Temperature drop?
It was like 4 minutes. How much could the temp drop? This was one of the warmest days in Ohio we’ve had this year.
@@stephanie7142 it dropped like maybe a couple degrees but it was noticeable
@@stephanie7142 It dropped about 10 degrees where I was (NY). In full sun, it was hot & sunny enough to wear a t-shirt. During the eclipse, it became chilly enough to wear a jacket, with the temp lowest during totality. Less sun = less heat.
Dropped 30 degrees where I was in Ohio over the course of the whole eclipse(eg, not just totality)
I worked as a delivery driver during the last eclipse before this one. It was insane. People were having viewing parties, stopped in the middle of the road to look at it.
I saw the 2017 eclipse with a friend, and this year, I was able to take my kids to go see it! I am extremely thankful to have been able to share the experience with them! It was 100% worth the crazy traffic and more than double travel times lol 😂
I live in TX. The eclipse was AWESOME! I got several pictures. Best part, I got glasses for free and I didn't even have to leave my home.
Saw it in Waco! Spectacular!
Dallas here, it was awesome!
I saw the total eclipse on my deck here in Ontario, Canada, and eclips glasses are free here for everyone.
I REALLY missed out lmao
Couldn't see it in SA. Too much overcast.
Saw a 98% eclipse with my daughter today. It was cloudy up to an hour before it kicked off. We saw a sharp decrease in birds and increase is small bugs the darker it got. Within 15 minutes on the opposite end of the zenith, the birds went absolutely nuts, singing louder than I'm use to hearing them.
So cool
Those birds: WHERE THE FUCK DID THE NIGHT GO?!
Good use of zenith.
All my chickens went to bed, and several laid two eggs in one day, that I have never seen before.. perhaps I just noticed it today
Anecdotal
I live in Cleveland, and yesterday I went to the art museum to look at the cherry blossoms, and 50% of the cars in the parking garage were from out of state. Which is wild because normally it makes up probably around 1-5%. I never got into any crazy traffic jams but you could tell there were so many visitors in the city/suburbs. But witnessing the eclipse was one of the craziest experiences I have ever had and it would have been totally worth traveling for. Partial doesn’t even compare to totality. We also had unbelievably perfect weather, with highs in the 70s (it dropped 10 degrees at the airport) and perfectly clear skies for most of the day. all around it was a huge win for the city and that doesn’t include the women’s ncaa bball game yesterday.
I love it when you cover international relations events like Ecuador's breach of the Vienna treaty. I justify watching the show as a part of my homework for my university class on IR relations.
My dad booked a trip to Arkansas a literal YEAR in advance to see the eclipse. It was truly awesome. My sister ended up shedding a tear or two at how beautiful it was. Having gotten to see a true totality, there is nothing like it. Back home was only about 97% coverage and the difference was incredible.
Well. Welcome to Arkansas to your Dad? I was able to just sit in my yard here in Arkansas and watch it.
I watched it from my front yard in Paris AR. Loved it.
i live in PA, we had abt 90% totality and there was so much cloud cover that we almost missed it! it was especially crazy bc we actually couldn’t see the eclipse thru the glasses for almost the whole time, the clouds dispersed the light so much that we could see the eclipse with the naked eye. it was truly awesome! it looked like a yellow moon peaking thru the clouds. so cool
Man being in cali it was only 40% coverage :,)
Arkansan here, I watched it from my bathroom window while showering lol, never thought I'd witness a cosmic event from my shitter.
I feel you 100% on the Heroes connection, Phil 😢
That was a show I was so excited for.😢 At the time I didn't understand why the quality of writing got so much worse but I could feel it.😭
@@unknowngamer37415exactly! Heroes was a great show and I never understood why it got worse 😢
Yes, it went from being must watch TV to the butt of the joke show you laugh at because tge story line seems to have forgotten logic.
Yes, sad to see it go from must watch TV to being the show you laugh at because it seems to have forgotten its own logic.
Idk what's worse... something awesome cut off/canceled or it turning into hot garbage.
I work in a medical warehouse, security and productivity are obviously very important but, even they gave us all a couple minutes (and glasses) to go out and view the eclipse/take pictures. It was pretty neat seeing nearly 80 grown (and very tired) adults collectively admiring, smiling at the same thing. It was a nice moment 😊
My eclipse day was mostly cloudy with some showers, but I still got a picture of it after it started thanks to a break in the clouds!
During the eclipse, all the owls around us were hooting their hearts out.
I work in assisted living and I don't think I've ever seen anything cuter than my residents sharing eclipse glasses back and forth and watching the sky with huge smiles and exclamations of "Oh my word! Isn't that just something?!"
This is so wholesome
In the Midwest wisconsin. It rained and was cloudy…. Glad there was so much hype around the eclipse, because at least I can witness it, like many things, through my phone. 😕
The solar eclipse was the first total solar eclipse I have witnessed. It was super cloudy all day and I was so worried I wouldn't be able to see it, but the clouds parted during the entire totality and it was absolutely amazing. And then I went and saw one of my favorite bands live after (Starset) so eclipse day was great for me!
I don’t get why people don’t understand that everything is made by the lowest bidder. Meaning companies are sacrificing quality for a cheaper price so if you look at it through that lens then all these issues start to make sense
I really enjoyed the Eclipse today. Since I live in Austin, I got to see the total eclipse. There's something beautiful and uncanny about getting 9pm darkness at 1:30pm afternoon time when the sun should really be heating up Texas in general. It was incredible to see all the people living in my apartment complex coming out to view the wonder. People of all nationalities and ethnicities, celebrating a celestial event (as you put it Phil!). We almost couldn't see it because clouds were thick and not moving but as the moon moved, the clouds opened up just enough. I may have cried a little because just when i thought it was as dark as it would get, it got darker and then I looked up and it was incredible to see the full corona and eclipse as a whole. I could hear the people nearby chattering about it and enjoying the sight. Its one of the few things I love about us humans. We really do come together for such a beautiful moment, no matter how short. I hope everyone who traveled to the path gets home safely. I hope I'm still around in 2044 and 2045 for the next total eclipse!
I also live in Austin and watched it with my apartment complex! I got maybe a second or two of totality before the clouds hid it away but it was truly amazing.
I also live in Austin and to say it was 9pm level dark during the mid day is quite a far cry, quite an over exaggeration.
RE: Eclipse. The eclipse was AWESOME.
I knew a bit about what to expect because I traveled to the 2017 one with my wife. This year I brought along my best friend. We drove 3.5 hours a couple days before to a beach in up state New York I had picked out about a year ago, and come to find out they had a stage set up with a live band, food trucks and a some porta potties. Since there was no ticketing or RSVP they had no idea how many people would show up, and boy oh boy did they show up. They had to deliver two reinforcements of porta potties but the line was still more than 60 people. The lines at the food trucks could be as much as 2 hours. They started turning people away arriving at the beach 3 hours before the partial phase even started because it was so full, I'm guessing a couple thousand people.
Then it happened, and the cheer and applause of the crowd was incredible. I got a great GoPro video from behind where I was sitting of how dark it got so quick. It was almost 60 degrees long tshirt weather, and right before totality it dropped into the low 40s and we had to put our winter coats on. The birds came off the lake and were going crazy flying in sporadic circles. The sunset appeared to be from the east but really was all the way around, so the birds who normally use the direction of sunset for navigation when returning back to their nest were so confused. The solar prominence (flare looking thing) was epic. It got cloudy right after but we had clear skies before and just some thin clouds during that didn't really get in the way.
Then it took us 8 hours to get home (3.5 hours to get up there). Over an hour of that was at the Tesla Supercharger in a small town which had a 60 car line snaking through a grocery store parking lot into the street. We mostly took back roads, even dirt roads, to get around the highway since it was at a standstill. I bet if we stayed on the highway it would've taken 12 hours to get home.
But it was all totally worth it. Can't wait for the 2045 eclipse. We're thinking of going to Australia for 2028!
I love that this comment section is almost entirely about the eclipse. It's nice to have a human, community-building, positive experience! There are so few times these days when it feels like humanity comes together and for nature to provide us with a gift, it's lovely.
I just wish more people would acknowledge the genocide we're about to witness in Gaza. Almost like the eclipse was heralding it I guess.
I got to see the ‘17 eclipse and it was incredible. Even though it seems obvious, the temperature drop was crazy to experience. More so though, the hundreds of people suddenly going silent then exploding into cheers will be something I won’t forget.
Out here in Minnesota and we didn't see shit!! It was so cloudy and rainy I couldn't even see where the sun was located. Bullshit
So true. Total disappointment.
You should get a refund. 🤬
Same here in Iowa, cloudy and rainy.
I stared at it with my bare eyes and now I'm blind. I hope there are no typos or errors so you guys can read one of my life biggest regrets
Im from mn but happened to be traveling to sconny for work. I felt so bad!
The eclipse was crazy here through Maine. I've NEVER seen traffic like that in the highway. Both lanes completely full and we only went about 20-45 mph for HOURS.
A normal 3 hour drive for me was almost 5 hours. That was nuts.
My small hometown was flooded with tourist and it was bittersweet. Great for the economy!
3.5 minutes wasn’t long enough to truly appreciate and absorb the eclipse totality experience and now I have to wait 20 years for another one (in NA) 😂
Boeing is really trying to speed run, destroying a business. In the last 5 years they have lost half of their value. Hope that short term greed was worth it
True, but the fan cowlings opening is hardly their fault, unless the plane is fresh out of the factory.
@carstekoch The sheer amount of "bad maintenance" situations with Boeing makes this seem extremely unlikely. It gets to a point where it's not bad maintenance anymore, it's shoddily put together planes.
@@zemosion1129
Again, the fan cowlings opening when they aren't supposed to is very unlikely Boeings fault. They are locked with three latches and are very regularly opened during maintenance checks.
I agree that Boeing is responsible for some of the incidents but some are also just bad maintenance on the side of the airlines and letting them off the hook because Boeing is a convenient, albeit self introduced, scape goat isn't good for anyone either.
They are going to get bailed out why would they be worried?
Of course it's worth it. The CEOs, Vice Presidents, and all the people on top are gonna leave with millions, some billions, and that's not including the contractual severance packages. They'll just move on to the next project, or retire. The people who are gonna suffer is the 10s of thousands of workers who get laid off.
I live in Cleveland, Oh.. Experiencing totality with my husband, elementary aged son, and a random/lovely stranger was truly incredible. Definitely a core memory and it really reminds you how small and insignificant we are in the universe. Truly profound.
I was in Westlake today, and yes it was amazing :)
We drove to Cleveland from dc!
I rawdogged looking at the eclipse for a total of 6 seconds spread out. The other times was from my phone screen to get those dope videos and pictures. I’m just happy beyond belief I got to witness it with my mom who’s 63. Watching her freak out looking at it and watching the day turn to night was the highlight of my year. I’ll take eye damage as compensation any day of the week.
What color are your eyes? My eyeballs panic and don't work if I even look NEAR the sun 😂 They're blue (so clear, in reality) and they are NOT made for that direct Gamma radiation BS 😂
@@kayleighgroenendal8473 they’re brown and handled that shit perfectly 😂
Mine was something. Idk what word to describe it. I had class which i thought about skipping but my professor said we'd look at it together but she got the time wrong. I sadly watched the light from the window reflecting off my tablet screen go dark, so i was able to track it at least. When i exited the building, two staff were lending glasses so i was able to see it just before it ended. I felt so happy bc i was really looking forward to this event. Was able to take pic too. So thankful to those ladies
The best part of the eclipse was how it brought people together. The genuine excitement and the shared experience of observing the cosmos together was awesome. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I really wish that we could always have that perspective; that awe, curiosity, and intense feeling of being human. I think it would make the world a better place.
Phil talking about Heroes made me laugh out loud in public.
Also
Yes. Moment of silence for Heroes.
Save the Cheerleader, Save the World
That Hank Green's video (the driving and car accidents part) freaked me out about my original eclipse plans and I am glad it did. I change my plans and had a wonderful, stress free day watching the eclipse with some of the people that matter most to me. Hope everyone else had similarly nice experiences. If you didn't get to see it, I'm sorry. It was beautiful. The next one is August 12, 2026 in Spain.
After Billie’s comments, I fully expected her next album to ONLY be released on one single eco-vinyl. No variants or bundles of any kind; just the record. Just the music.
Cut to her bombarding the world with SEVEN various colored exclusives, countless merch items and bundles like key chains, cheap plastic baubles, shirts, necklaces, handkerchiefs, etc., all with different packages and options according to which country you’re in. And the fact that all 7 variants are “eco-vinyl” doesn’t really mean much when you’re making colored variants. True eco-vinyl should just be one variant where the color is completely assorted and random because you’re just throwing any and all recycled scraps in. Some of the variants even claim to be solid opaque colors, which… I don’t even think is possible with “eco” mixes.
Regardless, calling out this problem of over-producing vinyl variants, match items, bundles, etc., and then turning around and doing exactly that the very same month is… not it. One of her UK bundles is THREE copies of the same album, each in a different color, with some sort of merch item, for about £90 + S/H. 😂
She could have made herself look so much better by saying that she initially planned to do 7 different albums and lots of types of merch but because of the environmental concerns she has she decided to cut the number of things she's making. Her fans would have loved it and at least it would have been slightly better for the environment. But of course she just wants money, that's all this is. She somehow doesn't have enough and needs more.
The eclipse was cool. The sky going from full sunlight to late dusk in 10 minutes was neat, and the temp dropping like 15 degrees in that same time was creepy but cool. I got to see the totality for about 45 seconds before a huge cloud rolled in and eventually covered it.
I got spend my 33rd birthday basking under the eclipse in Texas. So awesome to live through an unbelievably rare event
Happy birthday!🎂
Birthday twin! (Turned 22 today)
Are you The Chosen One from the prophecy?
I was in San Antonio but it was so cloudy we could see it clearly but it still went dark and it was super cool. I hope many got to see it and enjoyed it.
there was a bsa camp in totality that held a camporee over the weekend, including a watch party on monday. it was surreal to watch the world go dim & brighten back up four minutes later. it was also weird to see scouts be calm for a while since they're normally so high energy. my scouts calmed down, other troops stopped what they were doing, everyone was silent for those four minutes.
What I found so fascinating about the eclipse was the lighting changes. And how it looked like moving fire around the total eclipse. And how it looked like a spotlight on the ground after the sun started peeking out.
I was in the path of direct total eclipse and at risk of sounding dramatic, it was one of the most awe-inspiring things I've witnessed in person. It is hard to put into words. That moment after it shifts and you can take off the protective glasses and just stare into a dim ring in a dark sky, it's something else. It's like nothing I've seen before and likely never will again. It was a fantastic experience and I am so glad I was able to view it from such a perfect angle! (I live outside of Cleveland, for those curious)
That was a decent pronunciation of Newfoundland
-east coaster who lives on the east coast and missed the eclipse due to heavy rain
Viewing the Eclipse yesterday was incredible. I saw the one in 2017, but the clouds never fully cleared during totality. It was still a great experience, but I didn't get to see the Corona clearly. Yesterday I did. And I saw the diamond ring effect as totality ended. Those two sights were absolutely breathtaking. There is an enormous difference between looking at photos and experiencing it for yourself. I'll still always remember my 2017 trip, but this one kind of blew it out of the water. Also just had a blast hanging out with my mom and girlfriend.
Saw a total eclipse for about a minute earlier today. And the crescents before and after. Absolutely beautiful. Super unique experience. Loved it.

Phil is SO right about the show Heroes! That first season was one of the best seasons of TV ever, and the writer's strike really killed the momentum. Great call out!
Cut class to watch the eclipse and holy moly it was absolutely amazing. One moment in a lifetime.
I miss Heroes as well!!!!! It was such a great show! Save the cheerleader, save the world! XD I miss Hiro the most, he was my favorite!
The creative flow was years ahead of its time and did set up a platform for live action Mutant tv shows. Nothing has ever got me as hyped but I was also a teen so Que “the glory days” speech 😂
i was in the total eclipse area...was kinda cool once it got dark and the birds went silent...then once it started to get light again the birds were chirping like it was early morningtime
4:19 I really enjoyed the Eclipse in Winchester Kentucky. It was cloudy but not enough for me to not be able to see it. It was so cool. And it was my first eclipse ever.
Travelled with a friend to sturgis, Kentucky to witness the totality. How can you even put it into words? One of the most humbling experiences of my life.
Damn, the Heroes throwback! There's a group of us from the old 9th Wonders forum that have kept up with each other and have a discord together and we were joking about what powers we would get today. 😂 Great show, wish they had just stopped filming season two instead of suddenly trying to wrap it up.
I was in the path of totality for the eclipse, and I will say it was probably one of the coolest things you could ever observe. It's almost otherworldly, and probably will not see something like that again in my lifetime. Would recommended traveling to see it the next time there is a total eclipse, its worth it.
Went from the Philly suburbs to Burlington VT for eclipse totality. It was so very worth it. It's truly amazing to see.
Man Heroes season 1 was so so good! I wish one day they just go back, start from season 1, like they did with the Halloween new movies, and just make another season 2 ignoring everything else after season 1.
"In fact NASA also following the path in two specialised jets, flying at 50k feet to collect data on the sun's corona", My BF in another room: "The sun has corona virus!?!?" 🤣😂
We were in the middle of intense negotiations at work and we all had to step out during a recess to watch the eclipse together. It was nice.
Got to see the eclipse in New Hampshire. Normally New England gets shit on for clouds, but yesterday was absolutely perfect. Not a single cloud in the sky! I guess we got the best viewing spot since other states got clouds. The sky was amazing. Sure, clouds did form after the eclipse, but it was awesome to see the change in colors and to see the shadow ripples across the asphalt, like waves of light on the ground as the sun came back.
It was well worth the drive in and out of traffic.
I was at the top of Mount Royal, the mountain the city of Montreal surrounds, right near the famous cross that tops the mountain. Totality was the most unreal, awe inspiring thing I have ever seen. It was so far beyond anything I could have expected, even knowing about it all before hand. The weather was perfect, even the thin wisps of clouds over the sun made it better by there being a full rainbow halo around the sun the whole time. There was a 360° sunset surrounding the island. The corona was so much bigger than I expected, and planets began to shine around the sun. People cheered and people cried. Cheered even more when the sun came back. I understand more than ever now why ancient peoples were terrified!! Even knowing exactly what was happening the eerie sense as the sky grew darker and darker, and not at ALL like it does at sunset, the colour of the light was just so different, was pervasive. Absolutely incredible, and I am so grateful to have had this experience. And knowing that it was veing shared by nillions of other people only made it all the more magical.
Oddly there weren't even all that many people where I was, I expected it to be absolutely packed!! But somehow it was mostly the stoners, witches, and photographers who knew to come to this spot. Truly unreal and glorious.
Went from full overcast to perfectly cloudless where I am in Ontario for the eclipse. It was surreal as the birds just started going silent. Our chickens and ducks sorta froze where they were and went super quiet. Me and my family were all talking about how amazing that it was still as bright it was as we approached totality because the sun is just that bright! We were also saying how the moon was travelling 3600 km/h and yet just looked so slow because of the huge distances involved. Whole thing just put our place on earth in a new wider perspective. We are so tiny on this little spec orbiting that massive nuclear fusion reactor super lucky to even be a sentient being in our universe and experience events like this. 10/10
Same here where I’m at in Ontario. 20 minutes before it started it cleared up and started lighting up the retreating clouds. Rip to those in Niagara Falls.
Harkening to the traffic madness, I went to Salem, Oregon, from Vancouver, British Columbia, for the 2017 eclipse and drove back immediately to avoid paying for a hotel after sleeping in my car the night before. So, I got to experience what was dubbed Traffic Armageddon at the time as people from Portland, Seattle, and Canadians like me crowded onto the highway to leave. I knew this would be a gong show, so I brought an audiobook (They Called Me Number One) for the drive home. I got on the highway from Salem by 11:00 am and was home in Metro Vancouver just before 1:00 am. A funny part of the journey was at the border, as my only declared item was a fidget spinner I bought at the Walmart in Salem. The guard had a good chuckle at that.
Why would you pick Salem though? 😂
@@rileyfuckingrifle Weather.
@@robertemumford Alright, that one makes sense. Lol. I saw it from Jefferson, so not that terribly far away. 😅
I lived in indiana directly in the path of the solar eclipse and is was amazing, literally like someone turned a dimmer switch down and up for the earth.
We are beginning to read stories to our 9-week-old son at bedtime, but we often only have time to watch the PDS then. So now our son gets Uncle Phil story time. Lucky tyke. You’ve been a part of us for years and years!
As a Canadian, congrats on pronouncing Newfoundland and Labrador correctly lol
He didn't say Newfin-land which is the correct pronunciation. And before you try to claim some superior knowledge, my family has lived there about 400 years. I know how it's pronounced better than a Canadian who knows nothing but how to screw Newfoundland over.
As a Newfoundlander I have to partially rescind that congrats because he almost had it, he said find, it's found. New-found-land not New-find-land he was much much mucchhhh closer than so many attempts I've heard though. So I will give him that. He didn't mention the Labrador portion of the province just the island so I can't say anything on if he'd pronounce that well.
@@MaronaNunya oh no! Accents exist lmao
@@shelby6 They subtitled the Newfoundlanders on Coldwater Cowboys and other shows before because their accents were so thick they were 'worried' people wouldn't understand their english. but yes, leave a curt little 'ay accents lmao' comment. How original and cute of you. I was simply pointing out that it's found, he can say found perfectly fine in other contexts, I wasn't trying to be rude, I even pointed out he got it a lot better than most. Have a good day.
Can confirm the kinda meditation during the Eclipse. While I watched the eclipse, I thought of various myths and tales across the world that likely tried to explain eclipses before we understood them, among them Fenrir eating the sun in Norse mythology and a Cherokee tale of a frog eating the sun. A strange common yet uncommon event for so many to see.
Another cool point about the Solar Eclipse is the last time a solar eclipse that occurred in this same path was the ratification of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy aka Iroquois Confederacy nearly 1000 years which makes it one of the oldest still functioning democracies
Viewed the total eclipse in 2017, and this one today. Both were magical and surreal. The awe of just seeing the sun’s corona and that pitch black circle that is the moon is just… spectacular. Those four minutes today went by so fast. I treasured every moment.
And yeah, the traffic. Drove all day afterwards, took like four detours all due to traffic, and unfortunately, also crashes. Stay safe out there. The experience is supposed to be life changing in a good way, not a bad way.
saw the eclipse from my front yard. It was pretty sick
I noticed when the eclipse ended and it started getting bright again, The birds started chirping like when the sun rose in the morning. It wasn't as dramatic as in the morning, but it happened.
Answering this a day late because I spent all of yesterday other than about an hour driving. I drove down to Dallas on Sunday for the eclipse. Found out that when I booked the room back in February, the hotel's system got the dates wrong, and ended up paying double what I should have. Then when I woke up yesterday realized that I'm a moron and made the 6 hour drive, south... with the top down on my miata, so I've got a wicked sunburn. Then get a message from a friend who had also driven down to Dallas with his family with a pic looking out of his hotel room of a massive wall of clouds, and a forecast for it to only get worse, and that Broken Bow, OK was the only place within driving distance along the path, so I quickly packed up and jumped in the car and headed another 3 hours northeast. Managed to have a once in a lifetime experience, snagged some decent pics, and then headed home, another 6 hour drive, that took 8 and a half hours and included a near 6 car pileup on 412 when a couple cars decided to slam on their brakes at 75mph, to a complete stop.
And it was 100% worth it. The nearly 1000 miles driven, the $300+ it cost, the near death experience, the sunburn that's got me eating ibuprofen for the next couple days... All of it... totally worth it, 10/10 would recommend.
It was super cloudy in the Falls for the eclipse. My kids and I were still outside though, and the seagulls around us went crazy once it was dark. They were so noisy and started flying in circles for the whole thing. The minute the eclipse was done they quieted down though.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought of heroes.
Never forget.
Save the cheerleader.
Save the world.
My wife and I took our child out to the eclipse as we only lived about 30 minutes away from the path of totality. It was an amazing trip and totally worth it.
We heard many people talking about 6+ hour trips to this small town. I'm sure the craft fair going on got some great sales and the local paper even printed out some special card stock with a commemorative print.
Wild feeling the temp drop and the light "feeling" bright while also it clearly getting very dark in the area prior. We couldn't hear much animal noises to begin with. Had to fight our 10 month old under a blanket as totality ended because they were so interested in staring. I have so many pictures and a video of the transition to totality.
Travel home took twice as long and multiple accidents. I can see why things like this cause such a thing but honestly it is worth the travel. people just need to be conscious of themselves and others on the road more than normal.
I had two pop culture references from the eclipse (Heroes and Avatar TLA)
I also went to my mom's place to view it since she had a better angle than my apartment.
Oh and when leaving my mom's place a lot of people were coming back from eclipse parties. Elevators packed, halls packed.
Just goes to show how big of an event it was. We were also very lucky to have no clouds (Montreal) but some of us will not even be around in 2044.
Still it was really cool to see one and be old enough to understand it this time around. It was eerie to see how dark it got with the sun blocked out. I am young enough to make it to 2044, but twenty years form now... i will be in my fifties.
I saw the eclipse in a gorgeous sunny spot with my family in rural Indiana. There were some visitors but not nearly as packed as the southern states. Nice cookout with the fam.
Prisoners fighting for their right to view the eclipse was touching. This was a great opportunity for community and education. The prison population deserves that too ❤❤
I live in the DFW area, so we had totality today during the eclipse. At the school I am student teaching at, 3rd-5th graders were able to go out and watch it this afternoon. The cheers and excitement that came from the kids is something that I will always remember. They all were so excited that they got to witness something so cool, even though it only lasted a few minutes.
I got to witness a total solar eclipse for the first time!!! I skipped class so I wouldn’t have to be separated from my friends and I’m so glad that I did. This is definitely gonna a core memory for me. Those 4 minutes went by so fast! I took polaroids and they’re so beautiful!
When we had a total eclipse in the 90s, I watched it at a zoo and seeing the behavior of the animals was a class A extra bonus.
I live in Toronto, which bordered the complete eclipse zone. We had dense cloud cover that blocked viewing access to the sun, but seeing the sky darken at 3pm, in the middle of the summer is something I’ll never forget
Same here. Did it rain for a moment where you where?
@@kingofhearts3185 No rain all day, but I didn’t get to see the sun in person, which is a shame.
Oh well. I’ll be better prepared in 20 years.
Middle of the summer? It's spring in North America.
@@jhall154 did you have to be an a-hole and type that out?
Thought I was the only one who laments about Heroes TV series during eclipses
I live in a nowhere town outside Russellville, AR, and even my town was full of people from as far as Australia trying to see the eclipse in totality. It was wild.
I was in the range of totality watched the solar eclipse on my school campus. It became real cloudy around the time of the eclipse, and we were worried we wouldn't see it. Fortunately, the clouds broke up just in time for us to see the eclipse. It was honestly a magical experience, and crazy how dark it became. I thought it was about to rain with how dark it got. But then as soon as it passed, it was light again! I didn't join in, but my school is doing a lot of research on the effects of the eclipse on wildlife.
I luckily moved to a place in the totality range, so I set-up a blanket with snacks in my yard. It was beautiful to see the eclipse with my own eyes (and eclipse glasses) and just chill. Very fun and I'm so glad I got to experience the eclipse. The campground across the lake was packed and we had people cheering and shouting 'LETS GOOOOO!' as the moon approached totality lol. It was much cooler to see totality compared to the partial eclipse I saw in 2017. The birds and my cat did seem to act a bit on edge when it went dark and started lightening up again, but recovered fast enough.
On the subject of animals being triggered by the eclipse, we admired it in Prescott Ontario (across the river from Ogdensburg NY), and one of the most notable effects was the frogs nearby starting to croak.
Catching up today. We walked into the Dallas Zoo at the exact moment of the eclipse. The music was synced and everyone screamed. The animals were silent before and got loud as it happened. The giraffes stopped eating and were pacing. It was so cool!
My eclipse day? I work nightshift, I slept through it without a second thought.
I'm very bummed that it was too cloudy to see the eclipse here.
The eclipse was incredible. In 2017 I went to kansas to see that one and it was slightly cloudy which was still cool but not awe inspiring. After that eclipse I immediately went to talk about it with my space nerd friend steve and he was sad he didn't get to go. I half heartedly said "next time I will take you." Well we drifted apart over those 7 years. For this eclipse we drove to arkansas from oklahoma. But before we took off I messaged steve and said "you remember what I said 7 years ago?" My dad and I picked him up. and we took off for the hills of arkansas. We ended up in Mount Ida with a damn near perfect view. I wish everyone got to experience totality. I had goosebumps the entire time.
Its hard to explain what its like and words can't do it justice but I will try. Before totality its like living in an HDR photo where the saturation is slowly being turned down and shadows and becoming really sharp but at the same time the what from the sun is growing cold but its still bright outside and you can't really tell much is happening. During totality you see stars and planets around where there is this ring in the sky and its like near dusk. The crickets are chirping the birds are hiding and the air is cool. And you just have to stop and take it all in. I had to stop myself from crying in front of all these incredible strangers because I realized I will never get to experience this again with my dad most likely. Not sure why that thought crossed my mind during it but I just had to cherish the moment. Anyways you want to try and take photos while its happening but its not worth the time. Every moment of this trip was incredible and I will not forget it. I just have to hope that my old man is still kicking it in 2045 when Tulsa will be in the direct path of totality.
Regarding the Mexican embassy story in Ecuador, there's an important counterargument to be made. Both the Havana Convention of 1928 and the Caracas Convention of 1954 (which set the rules for diplomatic asylum), clearly state that diplomatic asylum shall not be granted to politicians found guilty of common crimes, like embezzlement and corruption. Only political crimes are applicable for asylum (like treason, sedition, terrorism and espionage, to name a few). Lining your pockets is not a political crime, it's a common one. So Mexico broke the rules first. The exact same situation is currently playing out in Panama, where Martinelli, easily the most corrupt Panamanian president in the last 30 years, is currently holed up in the Nicaraguan embassy after being found guilty of money laundering.
When did you get subtitles lol
I am so used to them that I literally just noticed that they are available on your show now ❤❤❤ thank you
