  1. It's SO bloody easy to make a casual misjudgement and over reach your endurance. A few years back I was on holiday in Portugal. We were on the beach at Praia de Falecia under a hired sunshade for the afternoon. Bit of swimming.... bit of sunbathing... and I thought I'll go for a walk along the beach as there was a light breeze on a warm day.... it was beautiful. I'd walked for just over an hour in the direction of Faro with the sun behind me, when I thought, I'd best turn back. As soon as I turned around and walked for a minute I realised that the sun was blisteringly hot, inspite of my sun hat and light summer clothing, I'd drank two thirds of my water, and there was a stretch of beach probably a mile and a half where there was nobody and no facilities that I then had to traverse. I'm NOT stupid, I'm a strapping six footer, and I've been a serving frontline fireman for 30 years and KNOW the symptoms of heat syncope & stress, and I very quickly realised I was in trouble, but suffice to say I made it back to where my wife was starting to worry about me, and when she saw me she knew that I'd taken a beating off the sun.... even through my hat the skin of my forehead had blistered and had started to bleed, and I was, according to her, more than slightly "incoherent". If I had not been on a beach where I had only to determinedly follow the waterline to return to my starting point, and instead been on a featureless landscape such as that that Michael appears to have traversed then I think I may well have succumbed the same way that Michael and John Tosell sadly did. How a beautiful sunny day with family can unexpectedly slip into a fatal tragedy, because of a simple misjudgement. It is SO easy to underestimate the conditions, overestimate your own endurance, and if you have no awareness of the symptoms of the onset of heat stroke, then your thinking and judgement processes VERY quickly become impaired. I can see that is EXACTLY what has happened to unfortunate Mr Mosley. It does surprise me somewhat that with his apparently deep understanding of the human body that he was not more self aware of the danger he had stumbled into. Deepest sympathy for Michael's and indeed John Tosell's families.

  2. Good grief... I've been subscribed for a long time to this channel but have somehow missed this video. It's as if this video was written just for me.... I've independently come to exactly the same conclusions that both you and LK Samuels have reached MANY years ago and have felt I'm going insane that no-one EVER publicly espouses this line of thought. This video has filled in some grey areas and cleared up some inconsistencies in my thinking, and for that I'm extremely grateful. Excuse me while I take back whats left of my sanity. Absolutely FANTASTIC rendering of an alternative perception to the chaos thats being wrought across the world today.

  4. Strange how TIK has 336k subscribers, but apparently less than 20-30k views per video? More BS from the YT algorithms....

  7. To all the commenters complaining about the British govt suppressing news of the blast, please don't highlight your own lack of intelligence. As well as controlling the spread of fear and despondency across the whole of an already embattled and battered nation, why would ANY government openly advertise to the enemy that their "uber" bomb aiming system was so wildly inaccurate, or that is was possibly being defeated by British countermeasures?

  8. Slight error by Mark. Mr & Mrs Gill of Victoria Rd Clacton, as it says on the memorial plaque were the First British civilians killed by enemy action ON THE BRITISH MAINLAND during WW2. The first British civilian casualty inflicted by the luftwaffe occured about one month earlier in the Orkney Islands on 16th March 1940 during a luftwaffe attack on the RN anchorage at Scapa Flow, when German bombs hit cottages near the junction of the A965 & A964 near Stenness, killing a 27 year-old County Council employee, James Isbister (luckily, his wife, baby son, and the elderly neighbour James was endeavouring to rescue from her adjacent bombed cottage all survived).
