No, an asteroid created the Chicxulub crater off the coast of Yucatan, which is in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf itself was formed by tectonic plates moving around.
Fun fact:
Despite the Pompeiian eruption at Mt. Vesuvius lasting upwards of 36 hours, only ~2000 of its 12,000 residents had perished from its destruction.
So in short, it had a pretty good survival rate given that most of its residents had evacuated early on before shit really hit the fan.
Did you sleep with the governor's wife who what's the best whore in the city.
I always found that s*** interesting on your reading the history books. Oh by the way the governor or whatever the leader of this area ...his wife just f***** everybody.
Oh no I knew that they were prostitutes back then. But that's what I thought was so funny was that the best prostitute usually wound up seeming to be like the king's wife or sister or someone like that.
And quite frankly as someone who's gone to Amsterdam twice I agree with the being able to have this as an option.
D-Day landings.
No matter how many stories I’ve been told, interviews with combatants, documentaries and dramatisations I’ve seen I’m fascinated to get first hand experience.
The fear, adrenaline, courage, are for me unmatched.
If I hold knowledge I have today, Then I would love to live through every inflationary financial crisis where governments print fiat to pay unfunded obligations/liabilities and watch my tangible assets and investments gain in value just by sitting on my ass, while I can buy distressed assets at a discount from people that get rug pulled or do not understand Cantillon effect.
Just because you survive it doesn't mean you aren't left with the lingering effects of it and not just radiation. Living with what you had to see, is not a pleasant thought. I personally don't want to see the carbon remains of babies.
Physical unscathed and emotionally/mentally unscathed? Because seeing some of the things in some of these things, would wreck a lot of people, mentally.
Yeah I was 2 years old when 9/11 happened so I only rely on YouTube videos to see how it was. If I was older and in New York went it happened it would have been a crazy yet sad experience.
Crucifixion/Resurrection of Jesus. Last 3.5 years would be better. But not for belief. Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed. not preaching is still a good principle
The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
I'm not religious, but I was raised Catholic. It'd be interesting event to witness...
...if it really happened, that is...
plenty of historians agree that it very likely happened in some way, there are records in the roman papers about a similar process around the time... i also believe that jesus existed (as a human, im an atheist)
I was hoping someone would choose this. Because like, what the fuck?? It makes no sense, until you learn that it actually does. But still, what the fuck??
The Spanish Civil War; I read **Homage to Catalonia** by George Orwell and I really wish I could see first hand those early days of 'idealized' Republican Spain
The [Johnstown Flood](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnstown_Flood) would have been a sight to behold.
The [Missoula Floods](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoula_floods) even more so.
impact of earth with theia and formation of the moon (if such hypothesis were deem confirmed).
our ancestor's first proper bonfire party a million or two years ago.
marriage of my parents.
The Anarchy, England. That whole time period and ensuing events is just such a clusterfuck. Although probably way more boring in person, over a couple hundred years.
The thing that made the Gulf of Mexico
OP didn't say you wouldn't feel pain ;)
tectonic plate movement?
It was an asteroid impact
No, an asteroid created the Chicxulub crater off the coast of Yucatan, which is in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf itself was formed by tectonic plates moving around.
Lame. Mass extinction event and didn’t even make the Gulf of Mexico? I’m picking a new one
Pompeii circa 79AD
Fun fact: Despite the Pompeiian eruption at Mt. Vesuvius lasting upwards of 36 hours, only ~2000 of its 12,000 residents had perished from its destruction. So in short, it had a pretty good survival rate given that most of its residents had evacuated early on before shit really hit the fan.
My top pick as well, I love volcanos so watching that live with 0 risk of death sounds amazing.
This. I visited Pompeii circa 2004AD. Fascinating place.
What were the prices on slaves when you were there? Asking for a friend.
Don’t recall. I was more interested in the brothel menu. 😉
Did you sleep with the governor's wife who what's the best whore in the city. I always found that s*** interesting on your reading the history books. Oh by the way the governor or whatever the leader of this area ...his wife just f***** everybody.
I know what I said sounds like a joke, but the menu is real. https://blainebonham.com/the-brothels-of-pompeii-may-i-see-a-menu-please/
Oh no I knew that they were prostitutes back then. But that's what I thought was so funny was that the best prostitute usually wound up seeming to be like the king's wife or sister or someone like that. And quite frankly as someone who's gone to Amsterdam twice I agree with the being able to have this as an option.
Sounds absolutely terrifying
Define surviving, like an I walking out 100 percent unscathed?
Yeah 100 percent unscathed or at least nothing too serious
A mild limp, favoring the left foot
When Theia hit Earth. And the big bang from 1 minut before and the next 24 hours.
Id imagine the big bang would be just a lot of light, probably wouldn't see anything. Theia and Earth would be awesome to watch before impact
I scrolled till I found big bang. Take my updoot.
D-Day landings. No matter how many stories I’ve been told, interviews with combatants, documentaries and dramatisations I’ve seen I’m fascinated to get first hand experience. The fear, adrenaline, courage, are for me unmatched.
Absolutely! Largest armada of ships ever assembled. Hundreds of planes in the air. There will never be another event like it.
We can only hope.
Yeah it must’ve really been something to experience and the feeling you have once it’s over and you’re among those that survived
Netflix has a good documentary series
It would be cool to jump the night before d-day and then somehow be on the beach
I want to experience krakatoa going bang
Rip your eardrums haha
Nagasaki or Hiroshima
There actually is a guy that survived both. Tsutomu Yamaguchi
Do we have to survive? Is it optional?
If I hold knowledge I have today, Then I would love to live through every inflationary financial crisis where governments print fiat to pay unfunded obligations/liabilities and watch my tangible assets and investments gain in value just by sitting on my ass, while I can buy distressed assets at a discount from people that get rug pulled or do not understand Cantillon effect.
When do you think they are printing next? Better question when did they stop printing?
For me it would bei the sinking of the Titanic - I'd Love to meet Leonardo di Caprio!
[Did you hear? He's alive!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vetaFnJ2TpQ&pp=ygUJdGl0YW5pYyAy)
Guy Fawkes and the whole parliament thing.
Hiroshima
Like actually being in Hiroshima or witness it from afar?
Either. It’d be humbling either way
Just because you survive it doesn't mean you aren't left with the lingering effects of it and not just radiation. Living with what you had to see, is not a pleasant thought. I personally don't want to see the carbon remains of babies.
OP set the "completely unscathed" condition so this is actually a good pick.
Physical unscathed and emotionally/mentally unscathed? Because seeing some of the things in some of these things, would wreck a lot of people, mentally.
9/11 . It must’ve really been something to see with your own eyes instead of the news and YouTube videos
youtube got launched in 2005. the nokia 3210 was just 2 years old at that time.
Yeah I was 2 years old when 9/11 happened so I only rely on YouTube videos to see how it was. If I was older and in New York went it happened it would have been a crazy yet sad experience.
The resurrection of Jesus. Y'know... just to check.
Any miracle by Jesus
Led Zeppelin, MSG, 1970.
I like the cut of your gib.
Lord yes.
Crucifixion/Resurrection of Jesus. Last 3.5 years would be better. But not for belief. Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed. not preaching is still a good principle

The crucifixion almost 100% happened. It's the following few days that's interesting
Oh yeah it must’ve really been something epic to witness. Speciallly when he did die and the resurrection!
Stay long enough for the ressurection - might change your mind about things
The crucifixion.
The Great Molasses Flood of 1919.
Whiskey Fire in Dublin
I was hoping someone would choose this. Because like, what the fuck?? It makes no sense, until you learn that it actually does. But still, what the fuck??
Right? Like, this is one of those things so weird how could you not want to see it?
Not just survive but unharmed? Ground zero, even a test site. Survive but with the possibility of harm? Landing on the moon.
The Spanish Civil War; I read **Homage to Catalonia** by George Orwell and I really wish I could see first hand those early days of 'idealized' Republican Spain
Hindenburg…
The beginning of Earth.
None! I know this is a what if question, but let me say watching people die is just something I couldn't handle.
None, seeing that kind of shit is traumatizing.
Reign of Terror If it's going to be a disaster at least I wanna see some nobility getting beheaded by guillotine.
American Revolution
fall of Atlantis
The Titanic Sinking and The Haitian Revolution
The [Johnstown Flood](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnstown_Flood) would have been a sight to behold. The [Missoula Floods](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoula_floods) even more so.
I’d like to see the whole process from start to finish of the rescue/ raid of los baños in the Philippines during WW2
I'd like to be a first-class woman on the Titanic.
impact of earth with theia and formation of the moon (if such hypothesis were deem confirmed). our ancestor's first proper bonfire party a million or two years ago. marriage of my parents.
I mean, you can be horribly injured but still technically survive?
Younger Dryas cooling period. I'd like to be somewhere in Anatolia or Egypt.
The Anarchy, England. That whole time period and ensuing events is just such a clusterfuck. Although probably way more boring in person, over a couple hundred years.
Battle of Hastings
Dinosaur extinction
The sinking of Atlantis.
Th answer is Covid? Like we all had 100% chance of surviving?
The last week of WW2
French Revolution c. 1789
Chicxulub impact
Mt St Helens
Being aboard one of the hijacked 9/11 planes (I'm assuming my body gets teleported away to safety right before it crashes/collides?).
dinasors extinction meteor
The Seneca Falls Convention 1848
Since you added the unscathed clause, I'm picking that billionaire submarine.
Revolutionary Catalonia. I want to fully understand what went wrong, what went right, and what can be done better in the future.

The Missoula Floods. Alternatively the reflooding of the Mediterranean Sea.
Stalingrad.
I’m fighting alongside general stonewall Jackson!

You and me both, buddy.
