00:00:29,860 promotion at Comiskey Park in Chicago that ended in a riot. 6 00:00:29,860 --> 00:00:35,020 At the climax of the event, a crate filled with disco records was blown up on the field 7 00:00:35,020 --> 00:00:41,720 between games of the doubleheader between the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers. 8 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,120 Many attendees rushed onto the field after the explosion. 9 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,880 The playing field was so damaged that the White Sox had to forfeit the second game to 10 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,800 the Tigers. 11 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:58,360 This night remains one of the most infamous promotions in baseball history. 12 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,400 So now you know. 13 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,540 And now, it's time for the

opposition initially. 44 00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:35,320 However, Avangrid's proposal for another 800 megawatt wind farm's transmission line 45 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,520 at Cradeville Beach stirred

00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:18,000 allegedly orchestrated a Ponzi scheme targeting Harvard Business School alumni. 63 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,840 He pitched a strategy claiming to obtain insider stock tips legally, promising returns up to 64 00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:26,220 1,000%. 65 00:05:26,220 --> 00:05:32,200 Many invested, including one friend who put in $120,000. 66 00:05:32,200 -->

00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:23,160 The delay stems from the need for additional prototypes and reworking certain elements 76 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,960 of the car. 77 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:32,920 Elon

97 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,120 attaching his brain to the implant. 98 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:11,040 Neuralink revealed new measures, including skull sculpting, to mitigate risks. 99 00:08:11,040 -->
