welcome everyone Adam the woo here it's
0:04
my second channel daily blog channel
0:07
look at these trees protruding sideways
0:10
I'm in Oak Hill West Virginia walking
0:14
down a pathway that oh I almost tripped
0:16
right there look at that big gargantuan
0:18
hole I almost tripped in that hole it's
0:20
the daily woo I was going to say I'm
0:22
walking down a pathway of trees but
0:25
really these trees even though they're
0:26
in the peripheral vision of you and in
0:29
my perip real Vision I'm not going to
0:31
look at them do not look at those
0:34
trees I looked at them who I just looked
0:37
at them anyway enough about the trees I
0:41
am
0:41
here because of something fantastic I
0:44
almost lost my train of thought because
0:45
there trees right there keep looking at
0:47
me stop looking at me trees I'm talking
0:49
about this road this road right here
0:52
imagine a car driving towards us now let
0:56
me take you back that car is going the
0:57
opposite way obviously that truck's not
0:59
listening the truck should be coming
1:01
this way we're going to recreate a scene
1:03
now as soon as a car comes this way the
1:05
scene will be recreated but I don't have
1:07
time to wait for anyone on this Vlog
1:09
blog I don't have time to wait for a car
1:11
so we're just going to imagine a car
1:13
driving this way I'm going to go back
1:15
take you back in time now to New Year's
1:17
Day
1:19
1953 and picture a vehicle if you will
1:23
coming towards us right down this road
1:26
and in the back of that vehicle was
1:28
country Legend singer Hank Williams
1:31
Senior not Junior not the third the dad
1:35
well here we go there they come there he
1:37
comes Hank William
1:39
senior they didn't have cars like that
1:41
back then but if they did he probably
1:43
would have been in the back of one of
1:44
them this was the road in the last final
1:48
spot for Hank Williams Senior right over
1:51
there used to be an oil gas station I
1:54
can't remember the name of it I've
1:55
actually lost my train of thought once
1:57
again because of these trees and since
1:59
this vlog vog is not edited I'm not
2:01
going to be able to tell you the exact
2:03
name so you need to Google it Google
2:05
this town I mentioned the named earlier
2:07
and Google the name of the gas station
2:09
where Hank
2:10
Williams was found dead in the back of
2:13
his car rumor has it in the history of
2:16
Hank Williams Senior is about 2 miles
2:18
down that way was a drive-in like a
2:20
burger joint where they had food the
2:22
driver he was on tour was driving him he
2:25
pulled him to use the restroom the
2:26
driver did back there at that Drive-In
2:29
hamburger joint realized that Hank
2:31
Williams Senior had passed away in the
2:33
back seat of the car they never really
2:35
know what happened a lot of speculation
2:37
and whatnot but no one really knows what
2:39
happened and how he died I don't know if
2:41
they ever came to a conclusion of it or
2:42
not but the driver kind of freaked out
2:44
didn't know what to do and he drove into
2:47
town here in oakill and went over to
2:49
that gas station the oil place oil gas
2:52
station right over
2:54
there pulled in there didn't know what
2:56
to do the police were alerted either he
2:59
went in and told the guy who ran the
3:01
place what had happened went inside the
3:05
gas station the police were alerted the
3:07
police showed up and then everything
3:10
continued from there Hank Williams was
3:12
actually taken over to the hospital you
3:14
can actually see the hospital from here
3:17
see the hospital protruding up over that
3:19
Ford Lincoln Mercury
3:23
dealer take you guys a closer look and
3:25
get a better view of the spot you can
3:28
see where this car is up here there's
3:29
actually car for sale that's actually in
3:31
the exact spot where Hank Williams car
3:34
was left they actually put it in the
3:35
garage at the gas station you can see it
3:38
right over
3:46
here cross the road here traffic
3:46
everyone's looking at me wondering why
3:48
I'm talking to my camera they probably
3:49
don't even know what kind of history
3:51
that their small town has but right here
3:53
where this concrete was was where the
3:55
gas station was so the vehicle would
3:57
have pulled in down that way from The
4:00
Burger Joint where he was discovered
4:02
dead in the back of the car pulled in
4:04
right here the police were
4:06
alerted the car was stored after he went
4:09
to the hospital I'm not really sure what
4:10
happened to the driver I don't know if
4:12
another car came and picked him up or
4:13
whatnot but the car was left I guess to
4:15
be investigated and was kept right here
4:18
at the oil gas station some sort of oil
4:21
like a car service place the car was
4:23
left right here pretty much where that
4:25
car is for sale somebody should buy that
4:27
car and turn it into a memorial for
4:29
Frank William senr that probably
4:30
wouldn't be a good idea that's just
4:32
something I came with off the off the
4:33
top of my head there's the water tower
4:35
there of course the Oak Hill sign has
4:38
been dilapidated and fallen off they
4:40
probably need to put their sign back up
4:41
on there but they haven't let me
4:43
continue across the road they tore down
4:46
the gas station in 2006 a lot of the
4:49
people wanted to turn it into a museum
4:51
for Hank Williams senr but the town was
4:53
against it from what I heard the town's
4:54
really not too fond of the history of
4:57
Hank Williams senr since he didn't live
4:59
here but he died here they don't really
5:01
want to acknowledge it too well anyway
5:03
if you can get a closer look over there
5:04
at the hospital see that brick
5:11
building it's kind of hard to see but
5:11
there's a brick building way down there
5:12
that's the hospital that he was
5:14
pronounced dead in there was also a
5:15
funeral parlor a block away and that's
5:18
where they did the autopsy on them but
5:20
to show you something else pretty
5:21
fantastic there's actually a plaque here
5:23
dedicated to Hank Williams senr look at
5:26
this it's a Hank Williams Memorial
5:29
nowhere on here does it say that he died
5:31
in this town I guess they don't want to
5:33
mention that I'm not really sure why
5:35
they don't want to acknowledge that they
5:36
just call it the last stop on his last
5:40
tour that's Hank Williams
5:43
Senior pretty crazy to think that it all
5:46
happened right here driving where all
5:47
this traffic is Right Where I just
5:49
crossed the road it all happened right
5:51
here and all there is is a little teeny
5:53
tiny omage to the
5:55
Legend legend of Hank Williams Senior
