The Great Smog

Season 04 : British Isles
Episode 05 : The Great Smog : London, England

Environmentalism is a major hot topic all over the world today, and with good reason. After all, if the planet we live on is damaged by pollutants to the point it starts rebelling against us, it's not as if we have anywhere else to go. But while increased extreme weather phenomena and rising global temperatures are a problem we all have to deal with today, many people have come together and are making an effort to make our future brighter. Sometimes though, the darkness takes over.

hilarious that you had to make that message in the beginning LOL your voice is so perfect they thought you weren't human. Keep it up!

[AndrewBeezy]

The intro was great, there's so many of those AI voiceover true crime/history channels it's hard to weed them all out.

[NainaB]

Whoohoo!! When having insomnia pays off!! Let's see what this Great Smog is all about.

Glad you're not a bot, that your real voice is your own. Somewhere Sinister is great to listen to!

Excellent presentation ! Perfect script, no AI, clear narration, great graphics and copious background information and statistics.
One of the best videos I have viewed in a very long time ! You and your colleagues should be proud of yourselves ! I'm glad that this showed up in my queue. And you now have a new subscriber, too !

In the mid 2000's I lived in the Dayton, Ohio area and in August, there was a smog problem. My toddler son had an asthma attack that put him in the hospital. He did not even have asthma. We had to wait 10 hours for a bed to open up in the children's ward because so many babies were there for asthma. They had to put three kids to a room that week.

THANK YOU for not using AI in your video production. I'm sick of seeing that shiz everywhere, *especially* in docu style content, that SHOULD be all about things that actually happened and are real. Also your vocal work is crazy good.

[Kris.with.a.K]

WOOHOO!!! 🎉 Been looking forward to the SINISTER resurrection!! ❤❤❤❤❤

I haven't heard anyone talk about the London Smog for a long time. My Grandma was born in Benson, Oxford and had moved to London not long before this event. She thought oh no I'm out of here! Decided to emigrate to Australia and had no regrets.

These People had dealt with bombing with a provided gas mask 😷 in WWII
1952 was 7 year's later and the public still were not safe from contaminants in the air .
Rather shameful 😕

Thanks for all your hard work and talent, a real content creator doesn't use AI. AI is GARBAGE! The quality shines BIG TIMES on your channels because of your extremely high quality videos and obvious dedication to making original content, thank you Jiles!! Cheers from CB Lounge 2112 in Carson City Nevada!!

Very intriguing and the best interesting videos on YouTube

One of the "Great Fogs" of the 1800's ( The "Great Stink" of 1858), though, finally led Parliament to get moving on legislation to stop using the Thames as a sewer, and upgrade the sub-par sewer system that was in place at the time
The fog trapped all the noxious odors that emanated from the river inside the halls of Parliament for days.
The MPs didn't care if the "peasants" had to deal with such things, but when THEY were personally inconvenienced, it became a serious matter that required immediate attention .
This led to the creation of the most advanced sewage system known at the time.

I have followed you for years because of your voice. I have never slept better than when I play your channel. I like that you now offer more than serial killers. I love your history content!

[annoythedonkey]

Glad to see this channel making more content

I changed jobs in the late 1980s and went to work in London, within 12 months I was diagnosed with asthma. I left the city in '96 and returned to a smaller city; the conditionon has improved and have used an inhailer in many years.
