Everyone had a situation when a light bulb burns out. Although now you can buy a modified model that will last longer. But sooner or later it will end. There are no eternal bulbs. But firefighters from one American city are ready to argue with this statement. The bulb has served them for over a century.
The whole story began in 1901 in the state of California. Then one of the electricians put electricity into the building, and then hung up an ordinary incandescent light bulb. Then no one would have thought that she would be able to serve so long. After all, she survived several world wars, manned space flight and the invention of the Internet. It is worth noting that it was never turned off. She illuminated the fire department with her light around the clock. The switch is also over 100 years old and has never been used.
For a long time I never even suspected that there was an “eternal light bulb” somewhere. The whole world learned about this in 1972, when journalists arrived at the fire station. They published this information in one of the local newspapers. It was then that experts from the Guinness Book of Records became interested in the phenomenon. They carried out a thorough inspection and confirmed that the light bulb has actually been working since the early 20th century.
The story of the light bulb is surprising today. For so many years, interest in her has not faded, but, on the contrary, has become even more. Even appeared on the Internet online camera, thanks to which you can follow with your own eyes its long "life". In 2010, the bulb has its own website, where information is written that it is still working. Now any person with the help of online broadcasting can verify this.
