Script
Did you know that during World War II, the British government had a secret plan to create a giant smoke screen to confuse Nazi bombers? They filled balloons with hydrogen, lit the hydrogen on fire, and released them into the air, creating a huge wall of smoke that obscured the entire city of Liverpool from view. The Nazis were left bombing empty fields, while the British city was saved. Talk about a smokescreen of deception. But that's not all, did you know that the first computer bug was an actual insect that got stuck in the Harvard Mark II computer in 1947, during the early days of the Cold War?
