if this could be food that's
well past its expiration date.
63
00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:57,176
Something has exploded in there.
64
00:02:57,178 --> 00:02:58,443
Something has given off
65
00:02:58,445 --> 00:03:01,079
a large amount
of gas very rapidly.
66
00:03:01,081 --> 00:03:06,118
Could it be the ingredients
has actually caused this?
67
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,554
Narrator: For restaurants
across the world,
68
00:03:08,556 --> 00:03:10,656
storing food at
the correct temperature
69
00:03:10,658 --> 00:03:12,524
is always a challenge.
70
00:03:12,526 --> 00:03:14,760
In the united states alone,
71
00:03:14,762 --> 00:03:18,230
food poisoning sends
128,000 people
72
00:03:18,232 --> 00:03:20,332
to the hospital each year.
73
00:03:20,334 --> 00:03:22,034
3,000 of them die.
74
00:03:22,036 --> 00:03:24,937
When food decays,
it gives off gas.
75
00:03:24,939 --> 00:03:29,107
Microbes basically start eating
stuff and give off methane.
76
00:03:29,109 --> 00:03:30,776
Now, if something starts to rot,
77
00:03:30,778 --> 00:03:33,912
you get a tremendous buildup
of gas very rapidly,
78
00:03:33,914 --> 00:03:38,016
and that could be
what's happening here.
79
00:03:38,018 --> 00:03:40,619
Could there be some sort of
food source in there,
80
00:03:40,621 --> 00:03:42,688
some piece of meat,
that's actually sealed up?
81
00:03:42,690 --> 00:03:45,591
And as it gets hot
and as it decomposes,
82
00:03:45,593 --> 00:03:48,627
enough gas can build up
that bang,
83
00:03:48,629 --> 00:03:50,362
it just pops.
84
00:03:50,364 --> 00:03:52,931
Narrator:
It might seem strange,
85
00:03:52,933 --> 00:03:56,635

can happen with the human body.

it's known as
exploding-casket syndrome.
88
00:04:02,076 --> 00:04:06,111
There are actually stories
of bodies exploding
89
00:04:06,113 --> 00:04:08,180
because there's so much gas
inside them
90
00:04:08,182 --> 00:04:10,048
that, basically,
it has nowhere to go.
91
00:04:10,050 --> 00:04:13,151
And just like a balloon,
people can pop.

As the truck carrying it
drives through the city,
95
00:04:21,962 --> 00:04:25,197
the 50-ton whale explodes,
96
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:27,933
spraying huge volumes
of blood and guts
97
00:04:27,935 --> 00:04:31,970
over cars and people
on the street.

Biologist greg szulgit
considers
99
00:04:34,074 --> 00:04:37,476
if something in this dish
could be giving off gases.
100
00:04:37,478 --> 00:04:39,511
If there was rotting food
in here,
101
00:04:39,513 --> 00:04:40,912
the gas would be coming out,
102
00:04:40,914 --> 00:04:42,981
but the bubbles would just be
going to the surface.
103
00:04:42,983 --> 00:04:44,650
The only way to get
this kind of pressure bomb
104
00:04:44,652 --> 00:04:46,751
would be to have a lid on it,
and there's no lid,
105
00:04:46,753 --> 00:04:48,453
so the bubbles are coming up.
106
00:04:48,455 --> 00:04:51,957
If it was rotting food,
sure, it would taste disgusting,
107
00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:54,559
but it wouldn't have
this big explosive effect.

Narrator:
Physicist chad orzel
109
00:04:58,465 --> 00:05:00,399

what supplies the heat
110
00:05:00,401 --> 00:05:03,001
to cook food
in this kind of restaurant.
111
00:05:03,003 --> 00:05:05,604
Orzel: What powers these
cook-at-the-table things
112
00:05:05,606 --> 00:05:08,040
is generally something
like a canister
113
00:05:08,042 --> 00:05:10,242
of, probably, propane
that's feeding a burner,
114
00:05:10,244 --> 00:05:12,844
sort of like a gas grill.
115
00:05:12,846 --> 00:05:17,683
Narrator: Liquefied propane gas
boils at -45° fahrenheit.
116
00:05:17,685 --> 00:05:19,151
At room temperature,
117
00:05:19,153 --> 00:05:22,954
it only stays liquid as the
cylinders are under pressure.
118
00:05:22,956 --> 00:05:24,523
If one ruptures,
119
00:05:24,525 --> 00:05:29,428
then just a single spark can
cause a catastrophic explosion.
120
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:32,264
This canister of propane
that's connected to the burners
121
00:05:32,266 --> 00:05:33,632
through some sort of hoses,
122
00:05:33,634 --> 00:05:36,435
if those are poorly connected
or improperly maintained,
123
00:05:36,437 --> 00:05:39,604
you could get a leak of gas
that could mix with air.
124
00:05:39,606 --> 00:05:41,373
And then the fire
that's in the burners
125
00:05:41,375 --> 00:05:43,709
heating the soup
could provide the spark
126
00:05:43,711 --> 00:05:47,346
that could make a
quite damaging explosion.
127
00:05:47,348 --> 00:05:49,381
Narrator: But examining
the footage closer,
128
00:05:49,383 --> 00:05:52,417
tim pickens doubts the explosion
in the restaurant
129
00:05:52,419 --> 00:05:56,455
is from the gas supply heating
the hot pot under the table.
130
00:05:56,457 --> 00:05:59,358
The reason I don't think
this was a propane explosion
131
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,862
is because what we see
originated inside of the pot.
132
00:06:03,864 --> 00:06:07,265
There was a big boom
inside of the pot,
133
00:06:07,267 --> 00:06:08,533
not underneath.
134
00:06:08,535 --> 00:06:10,135
The whole restaurant
135
00:06:10,137 --> 00:06:12,437
probably would have
went up in flames,
136
00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:14,072
and we didn't see that.
137
00:06:16,744 --> 00:06:18,910
Narrator: In an attempt
to find new clues,
138
00:06:18,912 --> 00:06:23,315
former nypd video analyst
conor mccourt looks at the clip
139
00:06:23,317 --> 00:06:24,716
from the restaurant.
140
00:06:24,718 --> 00:06:27,452
The waitress has come up.
She's using some utensils.
141
00:06:27,454 --> 00:06:29,721
Is she trying to get
some food out?
142
00:06:29,723 --> 00:06:30,922
It's very unusual
143
00:06:30,924 --> 00:06:33,492
'cause you usually put
your own ingredients in.
144
00:06:33,494 --> 00:06:37,129
You don't really ask
a waitress to do anything.
145
00:06:37,131 --> 00:06:38,730
If I zoom in here, it looks like
146
00:06:38,732 --> 00:06:41,733
she's using the utensils
to look for something.
147
00:06:43,370 --> 00:06:44,936
When we go frame by frame,
148
00:06:44,938 --> 00:06:47,406
we can see where
the origin of the explosion is.
149
00:06:49,610 --> 00:06:51,410
It's within the soup.
150
00:06:51,412 --> 00:06:54,479
If you're inside a pot of soup,
it's hard to find a spark
151
00:06:54,481 --> 00:06:57,215
that's gonna make
an explosion of fire, right?
152
00:06:57,217 --> 00:06:59,851
This is probably just something
over-pressuring,
153
00:06:59,853 --> 00:07:02,854
expanding till it can't
take any more and then popping
154
00:07:04,725 --> 00:07:06,358
and spraying soup around.
155
00:07:09,363 --> 00:07:11,897
Narrator:
China accounts for 40%
156
00:07:11,899 --> 00:07:14,533
of the world's
tobacco consumption.
157
00:07:14,535 --> 00:07:18,403
Explosives expert tim pickens
considers if a cigarette lighter
158
00:07:18,405 --> 00:07:21,173
might have been involved
in this blast.
159
00:07:21,175 --> 00:07:24,309
I have a suspicion,
based on the bubble
160
00:07:24,311 --> 00:07:25,911
that we see in that video,
161
00:07:25,913 --> 00:07:28,647
that we probably are looking at
some sort of cigarette lighter,
162
00:07:28,649 --> 00:07:32,250
something with maybe butane,
was dropped in there.
163
00:07:32,252 --> 00:07:34,352
Narrator:
Tim's controlled experiment
164
00:07:34,354 --> 00:07:37,622
involves simply dropping
a standard disposable lighter
165
00:07:37,624 --> 00:07:40,592
into a boiling cooking pot.
166
00:07:40,594 --> 00:07:43,528
This should not
be attempted at home.
167
00:07:43,530 --> 00:07:46,832
My theory is this will
definitely rupture,
168
00:07:46,834 --> 00:07:50,135
and there will be a bubble,
and I'm expecting a fireball.
169
00:07:50,137 --> 00:07:53,805
Butane is normally stored
at less than 50 psi
170
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:55,373
at room temperature
171
00:07:55,375 --> 00:08:01,079
at 400°, this could easily
approach 400-500 psi
172
00:08:01,081 --> 00:08:02,981
inside this container.
173
00:08:02,983 --> 00:08:04,449
It's a big deal.
174
00:08:04,451 --> 00:08:08,186
So if that happens, you've got
a little bomb inside of this.
175
00:08:08,188 --> 00:08:10,989

one of the biggest in existence.
519
00:24:44,450 --> 00:24:46,884
The greenland shark is enormous.
520
00:24:46,886 --> 00:24:50,754
It's about 20 feet long
and weighs about 2,500 pounds.
521
00:24:50,756 --> 00:24:54,625
It's a really slow swimmer and
normally lives in cold waters.
522
00:24:54,627 --> 00:24:57,061
The greenland shark lives
a very long time,
523
00:24:57,063 --> 00:25:00,297
somewhere between 300
and 500 years of age.
524
00:25:00,299 --> 00:25:04,068
It makes it the world's
longest-living vertebrate.
525
00:25:04,070 --> 00:25:06,604
Narrator: The oldest specimen
caught so far
526
00:25:06,606 --> 00:25:09,440
was around 400 years old.
527
00:25:09,442 --> 00:25:10,808
But biologists believe
528
00:25:10,810 --> 00:25:15,579
that these sharks can live
for more than half a millennium.
529
00:25:15,581 --> 00:25:18,082
And that's just the oldest one
that we've found.
530
00:25:18,084 --> 00:25:21,051
There could be older ones
yet out there.
531

These things are just bizarre
in so many ways.

Narrator: This creature is still
a mystery to science.
533
00:25:27,994 --> 00:25:30,494
Autopsies on dead
greenland sharks
534
00:25:30,496 --> 00:25:32,630
show they eat seals,
535
00:25:32,632 --> 00:25:36,200
but also horse and reindeer.
536
00:25:36,202 --> 00:25:39,570
But there's a problem
with this shark egg theory.
537
00:25:39,572 --> 00:25:41,539
As mysterious as
greenland sharks are,
538
00:25:41,541 --> 00:25:44,174
one thing we do know about them
is that they're ovoviviparous,
539
00:25:44,176 --> 00:25:46,911
meaning they give birth
to live young.
540
00:25:46,913 --> 00:25:48,546
So they don't lay eggs.
541
00:25:48,548 --> 00:25:51,248
This can't be
a greenland shark egg.

Narrator:
For biologist greg szulgit,
543
00:25:56,789 --> 00:26:00,791
what's confusing is that
although the object is gigantic,
544
00:26:00,793 --> 00:26:03,394
it looks like
a single-cell organism.
545
00:26:03,396 --> 00:26:05,429
Most people think of
single cells
546
00:26:05,431 --> 00:26:07,932
as teeny, tiny little things,
which is usually true,
547
00:26:07,934 --> 00:26:10,601
but actually,
cells can get to be quite large.
548
00:26:10,603 --> 00:26:13,337
There are organisms, there are
algae, where a single cell
549
00:26:13,339 --> 00:26:15,940
can be 6 to 12 inches long.
550
00:26:15,942 --> 00:26:18,042
Narrator: Single-celled
organisms are
551
00:26:18,044 --> 00:26:20,077
some of the oldest forms of life
552

everywhere in nature.
553
00:26:22,882 --> 00:26:26,784
Steve potvin considers whether
this otherworldly entity
554
00:26:26,786 --> 00:26:29,353
is, in fact,
not from this world.
555
00:26:29,355 --> 00:26:31,055
There's this theory
called panspermia,
556
00:26:31,057 --> 00:26:33,891
which basically says
that all life on earth
557
00:26:33,893 --> 00:26:36,794
evolved from this
single-celled organism
558
00:26:36,796 --> 00:26:39,763
that originally came
from outer space.
559
00:26:39,765 --> 00:26:42,700
Narrator: In theory, material
from an icy asteroid
560
00:26:42,702 --> 00:26:45,302
could be hiding microorganisms
561
00:26:45,304 --> 00:26:47,504

562
00:26:47,506 --> 00:26:51,275
these creatures
are released and grow.
563
00:26:51,277 --> 00:26:53,677
There was evidence of this
deep freezing of life

565
00:26:56,716 --> 00:26:59,083
Microscopic worms
called nematodes

00:26:59,085 --> 00:27:01,085

567
00:27:01,087 --> 00:27:04,221
having been frozen
for 42,000 years.
568

After defrosting,
569
00:27:05,758 --> 00:27:08,692
the worms start
moving and feeding.
570
00:27:08,694 --> 00:27:13,464
This natural cryopreservation
opens up the possibility of life
571

distances of space
572
00:27:16,669 --> 00:27:19,737

perpetual hibernation.

If this is a monster egg,
574
00:27:25,811 --> 00:27:28,812
then there is a monster legend
to match it.
575
00:27:28,814 --> 00:27:31,015
In ancient scandinavian legend,
576
00:27:31,017 --> 00:27:33,951
the kraken is a large
and dangerous creature
577
00:27:33,953 --> 00:27:36,353
that comes from the depths.
578
00:27:36,355 --> 00:27:38,455

But the kraken was one creature
all vikings feared.
581
00:27:47,166 --> 00:27:49,233
They believed that with
its enormous tentacles,
582
00:27:49,235 --> 00:27:53,203
it was capable of taking
whole vessels with their crews
583
00:27:53,205 --> 00:27:56,306
down to the bottom of the sea
to an early grave.
584
00:27:56,308 --> 00:27:59,243
You can see how in other times,
people would have looked
585
00:27:59,245 --> 00:28:02,012
at something like this
and thought that it was possibly

Scores of files
about the program
860
00:41:38,563 --> 00:41:41,664
have gone missing from
the british national archives.
861
00:41:41,666 --> 00:41:45,168

862
00:41:45,170 --> 00:41:50,874
And are we seeing their newest
secret-tech test in action?
863
00:41:50,876 --> 00:41:54,377
For me, it screams cover-up.

Narrator:

865
00:41:56,047 --> 00:41:59,182

of speculation.
866
00:41:59,184 --> 00:42:01,551
People try to rationalize
the sighting.
867
00:42:01,553 --> 00:42:04,187
That's human nature.
That's what we do.
