On This Day in LG15 History

On this Day In Lg15 History: On December 31, 2006, Daniel posted The Unthinkable Happened.



What exactly DID happen in this video (unthinkable as it might have been), was initially the subject of much speculation. Even today, some speculate that its possible that "Bree's Dad" (as he was called until later identified as Drew Avery), is alive.

The Unthinkable Happened was the first Lonelygirl15 video to make use of the "thumbnail trick", i.e., inserting a center image into a video to appear as the thumbnail on youtube. Here it was a picture of a sad Bree in her bedroom from an earlier video, and Daniel admits he did it on purpose to get people to watch this "important" video.

The video also features the music To Thee We Sing (Rachmaninov), by Kyiv Chamber Choir, and began a tradition of having chanting-type music accompany any death scenes. At this time period in the series, the idea of a death being filmed in a lonelygirl15 video was pretty shocking, and really was "unthinkable" to many.

The YouTube version of the video (released one day after the revver version) currently has 1,083,830 views, making it the 8th most viewed lonelygirl15 video of all time on YouTube.
