In this video I go month by month through the year 1999, covering the biggest, weirdest and most memorable things that happened, from the launch of the very first iPhone to the first rumblings of the Financial Crisis... Fascinating History posts weekly videos about infamous flops, failures and mistakes from throughout history... and whatever other weird stories from the past catch my eye. Thanks for watching!
