My great grandad swore till the day he died, 101. that it was a hollywood stunt... No matter how much proof we brought...
@EdinVA My own parents,born before 1915,never came out and said it was fake,but they were HUGELY skeptical. In their defense,neither had an education (my father couldn't even read or write because he had to quit school in the 3rd grade and work to support his family),and they grew up in a time when having electricity and running water in your house was a marvel.
Not hard to understand why they were so skeptical when you look back and see how much the world has changed in just the last 100 years. Truthfully,probably more than it had changed in the thousand years previous. That's a LOT to take in for people becoming of age as it is happening.
