Robert Wadlow, the tallest person in recorded human history, was born in Alton, Illinois, in 1918. He reached a towering height of 8' 11.1" before his death. The town of Morton, Illinois, is responsible for producing roughly 85% of the world's canned pumpkins. Illinois was the very first state to ratify the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery in 1865. It was also the home of the first franchised McDonald’s, which Ray Kroc opened in Des Plaines in 1955. The first capital of Illinois, Kaskaskia, is now separated from the rest of the state. In 1881, the Mississippi River shifted its course and swallowed most of the town. The first Ferris wheel was engineered for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and the very first skyscraper was built in Chicago in 1885 ---------- Featured Music: Fragments by Sappheiros    • Sappheiros - Fragments [Copyright & Royalt...   Featured Equipment: iPhone 16 Pro Business/Use Contact Information: Email – bryce.rea.sla31@gmail.com Other Links: Patreon –   / sla31   My Flight Radar – https://my.flightradar24.com/sla31 Facebook –   / skyliteyoutube   Instagram –   / skyliteproductions   Discord –   / discord   Flagship First Patreon Supporters: Caleb Hays Christopher Saj Matthew Moody –    / boeing737d   #FullFlight #UnitedAirlines #Boeing737Max ---------- © Skylite Productions 2026 – All footage & sound presented in this video is property of Skylite Productions.
