The Storm That Almost Ended The World

This storm was the most dangerous storm in history, (reupload due to copyright) and it almost ended the world. Chances are, you've never even heard of it.

Check out Scott Carney's book and his channel:

This book has a much more in depth and understanding of this subject and history so i highly recommend you read it, it contains Hai’s story and information about the geography and the war.

This video means alot and took me well over 200+ hours to create, I hope you enjoy 🙂

This is The Storm That Almost Ended The World. This is a video essay, it's an entertaining documentary about storms, geography, the bhola cyclone, and storytelling and movie like content that explain what happened in 1970 during the bhola cyclone.

Hey! Had to reupload the video due to some small copyright restrictions, but its back!


Let me also address some comments:

“The title is clickbait" - Please watch to the end of the video to understand what I meant, my apologies I should've made it more clear.

"its Bangladesh not East Pakistan" - in 1970, Pakistan had two parts: west and east. In 1971, Bangladesh was born. East Pakistan was in this videos time frame.

Im sorry I cannot pronounce nuclear 😭😭😭😭

I will try harder to fix mistakes and do better research in future videos so if i got anything else wrong I sincerely apologize I had no intentions of misinformation.. :) I apologize for any inaccuracies in the history or geography, I will try much MUCH harder in my next video to make it all accurate.

Grew up in South Florida, lived through 20+ hurricanes. You never really get used to the bubble of peace in the eye of the storm. It’s the eeriest silence imaginable, knowing the second half is coming.

[gigaepicgamer]

just imagine holding onto a tree for that long with that rain and wind while knowing your whole family is dead.

[bulletkingaming]

I can only imagine the horror of holding unto a tree in the middle of a storm, surrounded by flood. In the middle of the dark. Hits hard.

My father was caught in this when he was 12! Him, his sisters survived by climbing a tree to survive from the Tsunami ! But my grandfather & grandmother died. My father and aunts moved to other parts of Bangladesh later on.

The way they described this it was scary to listen to!

My father is no more now!

Thanks for covering this!

[jahedhossain]

My father is one of the survivors! His explanation of this cyclone is exactly matched with your given details. Thank you for this documentary. ❤

[FreerunningGamer]

This video was absolutely gut wrenching for almost the entire time. To think how the people of East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, had to suffer for simply existing. Great video, thank you for taking the time to make it.

[doublechin-chan]

Just how disgusting some humans with power can really be. I can't even imagine the feeling of surviving the cyclone, losing your family, civil war, annihilation and threat of nuclear war all at the freaking same time. Just pure evil.

[mediocreperfect]

I could not imagine that man's suffering. Lose family to a storm and survive it only wanting to die.

[witheeeeeerx]

I'm a 16 year old from Bangladesh. My mother used to tell me stories about Cyclone Sidr of 2007 (she was pregnant with me that time). At that time she was pretty far from the coastal areas, yet felt the strength of this storm

[bigbird]

I’ve heard of Stanislov Petrov, the Soviet officer who single-handedly saved the world from nuclear war, but I did not know about the people’s resistance in Bangladesh, who not only freed themselves from a dictatorship, but also equally saved the world from nuclear war. Thanks for making their more heroism more known.

I'm from Bangladesh (East Pakistan of that time) This stoem was so devastating, i studied about this as a student, even my dad said that it was the deadliest in our country's history.

[jahidulislammamun]

My paternal family used to live in Patuakhali, the closest region to the the Bay of Bengal in Barisal Division. My father and my Grandpa was the only survivors of their family in this cyclone. My father lost 6 elder brothers & 2 elder sisters. All of them were gone in that cyclone. My father and Grandpa climbed up on a tree. My father said that the raindrops felt like bullets. Saddest thing is, bodies of the dead relatives were never found at all. I wish I had all relatives alive today. My life would have been different, so would for my father too. That Goddamn cyclone didn’t just change the view of landscape, it changed the lives of the living people.

[RIV_E]

I cant imagine holding onto a tree for a whole day while seeing dead bodies all over the place

[Battemangler]

Imagine how horrifying it would be if you found out you were in the eye of a hurricane

[gabbyanims]

I can't imagine how terrifying it would be trying to save your family following your jump and then receiving not a single word, not a single hint, glance or whatnot to simply know if they're okay. Like they just disappeared in a split second, gone.

[baxon_]

A storm like this is extremely terrifying even just imagining it gives me shivers

[CalebLovinRoblox]

this is actually tragic. Rest in peace for the people who died.

[suranjandey]

One correction. Indian government did tell pakistan about the storm. Pakistan authority did nothing because the storm was going to hit east pakistan( bangladesh). They were having some politiCal tension among themselves

[jakexou]

I'm a bit of a geography nut, and I never knew that Bangladesh was once called East Pakistan. Great video I've learned several things today thanks!
