The UnBelievable with Dan Aykroyd
S01E05: Outlandish Inventions
Picture this: a full-body gas mask for babies. How about Smell-o-Vision? Or a robot powered by eating slugs? These are all real inventions, and we’ve got them covered–including inflatable airplanes, hidden cameras in your contact lenses, and coffin security systems to protect you in the afterlife.
Overview
Each episode opens up a cabinet of curiosities to reveal the strangest-but-true stories in human history, brought to life through dynamic recreation, compelling graphics, and arresting archival. From Boston’s Great Molasses Flood to a man who survived being struck by lightning not once, not twice, but SEVEN times, these seemingly tall tales all actually happened, and our cast of experts dives into the historical record to tell you how and why.
