beyond
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
events of 1995 hey we can take care of
all that before we go Yeah right
oh with America Online for this list
we’ll be looking at events from each
half decade from pop culture natural
disasters medical breakthroughs sports
and political happenings based on their
significance at the time and their
lasting impact today we had unique
precious put upon us and we both tried
our hardest to cover them up but
obviously wasn’t to be this is part of a
series of videos spanning the decades
number 10 the worldwide launch of the
Sony Playstation stemming from a shelf
project co-developed with Nintendo
Sony’s PlayStation a radical departure
from cartridge style gaming hit the
Japanese market in December of 1994 but
it was not unveiled to the world at
large
until III in May of 1995 retailing at
$299 US and doubling as a CD player the
ps1 turned heads and even won a fan in
Microsoft CEO Bill Gates in all seven
thousand nine hundred and eighteen
titles were eventually sold for the
PlayStation totaling nine hundred and
sixty two million games sold with
driving sim Gran Turismo becoming the
best-selling game overall
the platform was eventually retired in
2006 with over 100 million units sold
Colonel can you hear me loud and clear
what’s the situation snake number nine
the Winnipeg Jets are sold to Phoenix
and this is supposed to be a celebration
of the Jets 23 years in Manitoba but
let’s be perfectly honest this will not
be an entirely happy day following
months of speculation rallies and even a
funeral the Winnipeg Jets were sold to
American investors for 68 million
dollars in October of 1995
although always a strong contender in
their wh a days by the 1990s the Jets
NHL history of lackluster seasons and
weak ticket sales had caught up to them
on May 3rd of 95 the notion of keeping
the team in Winnipeg was dead
leading fans to hold a funeral for the
Jets three days later well I’ll tell you
they made a big mistake I’ll tell you
that despite government involvement the
sale went through and in December
Phoenix not Minnesota was revealed to be
the team’s new home but a little bit I
dunno about how he is it’s a winter
sport and we don’t have much of a winter
down here number 8 the Tokyo subway
sarin attacks
already reeling from the Kobe earthquake
on January 17th Japan was hit by what
was considered the worst attack since
World War two on March 20th 1995 parcels
of liquid sarin wrapped together with a
solvent that turns it into gas a
distributed to a dozen armed commando
following a sarin gas attack of the
Tokyo subway system by the cult ohm
Shinrikyo at least a dozen people were
left dead over 50 were harmed and a
thousand more were temporarily affected
during morning rush hour five members
released the chemical onto busy subway
trains the cults leader Shoko Asahara
claimed no responsibility but he also
previously claimed to be both Jesus and
Buddha attack we now know was part of a
much larger plot aimed no less at
overthrowing the Japanese state and
starting a world war the attack and
subsequent raid on ohms laboratory led
to almost 200 convictions throughout the
decades with more than a dozen given
death sentences after a protracted
eight-year trial
Asahara was sentenced to death as were
four of the five attackers number seven
the Bosnian civil war ends America’s
role will not be about fighting a war it
will be about helping the people of
Bosnia to secure their own peace
agreement peace seemed possible in
Bosnia on January 1st 1995 when former
US President Jimmy Carter brokered a
ceasefire between Bosnian Serbs and
Muslims
however by May tensions had renewed NATO
claims destroyed the Bosnian Serb
communications network
they couldn’t even make telephone calls
when Serb forces refused to move
weaponry out of Sarajevo NATO responded
with air attacks on Serb ammo Depot’s as
part of operation deliberate force while
Serbs retaliated by attacking Muslims
and violating UN designated safe zones

sorry ye o gusto pardesi Dada nasha Sir
Bobby Villa Yoshino Pocoyo is Latino and
DVM master Puma Szymanski the summer saw
Serbs cease slavery Nitze and jibba but
it also saw additional NATO airstrikes
which pushed Bosnia Serbia and Croatia
to the negotiation table in November the
product of those talks the Dayton
Accords was signed on December 14th on
behalf of all of us who would come to
see this piece take hold you have seen
what war has wrought you know what piece
and bring number 6 the premiere of Toy
Story local law enforcement it’s about
time you got here I’m Buzz Lightyear
space ranger universe Protection Unit my
ship has crash-landed here by mistake
yes it is a mistake sure now we all have
our broken Buzz Lightyear dolls their
action figures and we wore out our VHS
copies long ago but Toy Story was an
absolute game changer in 1995 as it was
the first full-length feature film to be
made entirely of CGI
and beyond
Pixar’s debut feature film Toy Story
began in some form in 1991 but the story
took some time to work out mostly
because early drafts saw woody cast as
an unlikable raging jerk with an T pick
me toy stories 362 million dollar box
office take and Best Screenplay Oscar
nomination meanwhile legitimized
computer animation and proved Pixar
could be a serious player in Hollywood
oh gee I put a shade number 5 the
assassination of Itzhak Rabine the 73
year-old ravine was rushed to a hospital
where he died of his wounds a short time
later
shortly after attending a peace rally in
Tel Aviv in November of 1995 Israeli
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabine was shot
in the back and would later die of a
punctured lung his assassin was eagle
Amir a 25 year old law student and an
Israeli Jew who killed Rabine in protest
of the Oslo Accords who believed the PM
signing of the agreements endangered
Jewish lives we all love the same
children weep the same tears pay the
same and Mickey and pray for her
conciliation Rabine the first
native-born Israeli PM was committed to
peace in his region and even won the
1994 Nobel Peace Prize an award he
shared with Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat and politician Shimon Peres
ribbons funeral was attended by 80 world
leaders including Bill Clinton who
eulogized him the world has lost one of
its greatest men a warrior for his
nation’s freedom and now a martyr for
his Nations peace number four the
dot-com era begins
how about sooner your mom some nice
flowers all you do is click on
marketplace we place an order call now

a new way to use your computer although
soon-to-be Giants Amazon and Yahoo came

internet is full of neat stuff 1995 also
saw investors begin to throw good money

often on pure speculation or novelty
want to get your business on the web
call Florida internet about turn key
packages that include web page design
software hardware and personalized tech
support startups operated on a get large
or get lost mantra of growth before
profits not surprisingly many also
crashed and burned hard when the.com
bubble burst several years later you
know this information superhighway stuff
sounds like a lot of super hype to me
well of course it is but the Internet
does represent a new form of
communication and this is the best part
you don’t have to be a computer geek to
take a spin on it you watch it judge
some of my best friends are key number
three the OJ Simpson murder case if it
doesn’t fit you must acquit when Nicole
Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were found
murdered in June of 1994 all signs and
the state of California pointed to
Simpson’s ex-husband OJ Simpson a lot of
people in love you don’t throw it all uh
don’t throw it all away I can’t take
this oh yes you can
yes you can however despite a slow speed
chase during which he threatened suicide
Oh J and lawyers Robert Shapiro Johnnie
Cochran F lee Bailey Alan Dershowitz
Robert Kardashian Gerald Allman Robert
Blazer Carl E Douglas Barry Scheck and
Peter Neufeld maintained his innocence
killing was personal the way was done
the way it was done this is personal
owing to accusations of planted evidence
by the LAPD sloppy prosecution and a
jury that didn’t quite get all that
sciency stuff Oh Jay was found not
guilty following 133 days of televised
courtroom testimony we the jury in the
above-entitled action find the defendant
Orenthal James Simpson not guilty of the
crime of murder number 2 Windows 95 is
launched
supported by a Rolling Stones powered ad
campaign and Jay Leno and also armed
with a Brian Eno composed startup theme
and videos from Weezer and Edie Brickell
windows95 arrived as the multimedia
platform that year introducing the start
button Internet Explorer and MSN Windows
95 also favored the sleek and modern
cd-rom over the more traditional floppy
disk we don’t have any CDs or flappy’s I
believe that’s called floppies yeah
that’s what I said no no you said you
said flappy’s I did not okay you were
there you heard her say flappy so I’m
not crazy
despite the stench of Microsoft Bob
lingering in the air the OS codename
Chicago sold 7 million copies at at
least 100 bucks a pop in just 5 weeks
there’s never been any sale like it ever
and it’s paying off perhaps not
surprisingly 1995 was also the year Bill
Gates was announced to be the world’s
richest man good for Bill I mean the
atmosphere resonates with anticipation
of mythical achievement before we unveil
our top pick here are a few honorable
mentions we can kick your thing back

leave us alone in they stay they don’t
put the weapons on us okay

composure McVeigh was arrested soon
