In 1888 London was a far different place than we see today.... it was the largest capital city in the world, but also the most deprived. Its population had swelled to around 6.9 million and Victorian London was in full swing... In the more affluent parts, it was being transformed with modern concert halls, restaurants and hotels being constructed. However, in the East End of London it was a different story.... Whitechapel, in particular, was considered one of the worst parts of London. For its 250,000 inhabitants, life was tough..

The area was overcrowded and littered with crime. The working, living and sanitation conditions for those who lived there were unbearable. The poverty-stricken residents lived in the dimly lit maze of roads and alleyways that were often smeared with human and animal excrement and the smell drifting through the slums was putrid. Many of the residents were foreign immigrants with little or no money who worked long hours for just a few shillings.

For the women living in these slums, many had no choice but to resort to prostitution to earn enough to eat, during this era around 1,200 prostitutes were working in Whitechapel. Most of them were alcoholics who frequented the dingy bars in the area in search of clients...

These ladies of the night were considered the pits of society, and if they were killed in the hands of a customer it went virtually unreported. This was a side of London that others preferred to forget about. That was until until a person would become the subject of one of the most mysterious and infamous killing in British history.... Jack The Ripper.

Brazil or officially named ‘The Federative Republic of Brazil’ is the largest country in both South America and Latin America, boasting a massive 8.5 million square kilometers in size and inhabiting almost 215 million civilians. Encompassed by the gigantic Amazon rainforest and tropical oceans, the country is known for its diversity of people as well as its 40,000 plant species, 1,300 bird species and 427 mammals, which reside within its perimeters. Samba, coffee, football and the world famous Carnival are part of the allure and characteristics that make up the South American nation. Unfortunately; like everything else, the country has had its fair share of issues and criticisms over the years, such as its crime rates, drug cartels and its handling of the Covid-19 outbreak. However; unlike a lot of other countries in the world, Brazil has racked up a massive number of UFO and / or extra-terrestrial activity, dating back to the years of the Second World War.
What is it about Brazil that makes this fascinating country a notable hotspot for UFO and alien sightings? What stories have made the headlines? And what can we – and the country's government – learn from these stories? Join us as we travel to the shores of our Portuguese speaking neighbors and to the gloriousness of the Amazon to investigate yet more bizarre cases which haunt the skies and landscapes, in this episode of Destination Declassified.

At a little after midnight on the 8th of March 2014 passengers of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 were called to prepare for boarding. By 12.38am all 227 passengers and 12 crew members were on board and ready to make their journey from Kuala Lumpur Airport to Beijing. Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah was given clearance from air traffic control to prepare for takeoff. The Boeing 777 shot down the runway, reaching a speed of 180 mph before taking off at 12.42am. The 227 passengers came from 14 different countries and included five children. Malaysia Air Traffic Control was in charge of tracking the plane until it passed into Vietnamese Airspace. MH370 climbed steadily to 35,000 feet and moved northwards over the South China Sea towards Vietnam. It could be seen as a small blip on the screen as Lumpur radar radioed the captain at 01.19, “Malaysian 70, contact Ho Chi Minh, 120 decimal 9”. To which Captain Shah replied, “Goodnight Malaysian 370”. The blip continued to travel across the radar screen until it reached the outer edge and disappeared from view...
