I lived in Whittier. The OP forgot to mention that the other building used to be a mall. It caught on fire and was abandoned to never be rebuilt again due to it containing asbestos. The governor said it was too risky to tear down as it would release the asbestos. And there it stands as a landmark. But yes, it is haunted. I was in the theater in this building and it gave me the chills. Whittier is also a fish cannery town. Salmon and other fish are processed there. There is only one restaurant and fuel station. The snow gets up to 15 feet at times and when it snows you're stuck for a few months. The tunnel is closed. Princess cruise lines also stops there and though there is only one restaurant, there are a couple of eateries. Very expensive. There's also a frozen water fall, home to a huge glacier, and mining company. If you ever find yourself in AK, Whittier is well worth the time. It's quite beautiful and unique...
Asbestos? the only way to remove it is by having equipment, my colleagues did it in university in Switzerland , they had to change suits and respiratory equipment (everything to biohazard trash ) every 4 hours , when exiting they would need to remove , take a bath with special type of soap and rest for ...i think 2 hours , it was probably very expensive . about haunting? its probably invented so people don't venture into that hazard building! even a little fluke of asbestos flying with the winds is extremely dangerous!
I also lived in Whittier in the early 80s when I was in my late teens. We use to walk the train tunnels to get out back then and once I had dropped the flashlight and it broke the bulb, so we kept going by flicking our lighters and ended back up in Whittier because we lost our direction while looking for light … very scary that time was as there was no road thru tunnels yet.
I was born, raised and live in Anchorage, Alaska and I've been to Whittier several times. It's mainly a tiny fishing town, but the beauty of the surrounding mountains, glaciers and the bay make it worth the drive from Anchorage. There is a gas station and a couple of cafe's & bars.. The whole city is not inside the one building, but most residents live in the one building.. lol.. also, Girdwood is closer since it's halfway between Whittier and Anchorage.
Im fascinated by this place. Only 214 people settled in that huge building? I can’t wait to dig into what life is like there. Is it as truly isolated as it sounds?
Be Amazed videos make my day better. Whether it's passive aggressive revenge, darwin awards, amazing secrets, or bad karma, there's a video for everyone!
The village i live in, a village called Degeberga in southern Sweden, isn't big compared to other villages, but it is big for a village in Sweden. There lives around 1,340 people there, me included. It's really a small town, and while there isn't much to do for us Gen Z, but we do have one grocery shop, one flower seller, one antiquety shop, a bakery, a park, two swimming pools, a few football fields and other sports ammenities, a fire brigade, a few motels, an apocethary, so we don't need to get to other bigger villages, towns and cities for medicins, and then there's a small outdoors petting zoo, with a few goats, ducks and geeze. There is also a nature reserve, with the biggest waterfall in the county where the village is located. Here's a fun fact for you. The sothern most county in Sweden, Skåne, or Scania, which also is a landscape, because we here in Sweden don't have states, regions, provinses or anything like that, but instead, the Swedish counterpart of all those are called landscapes, and some only have one or two counties, except for a few outliers, Scania and Lappland, the Swedish one, not the Finnish one, has more than that. Scania alone has nine counties, while it itself is a county and landscape. Small edit. There is also a nuclear bunker and a school, plus a few pizzarias, a thai food wagon, a small restaurant and fast food, a few day cares for kids, and the nuclear bunker lies under the school and library.
I live in Alaska and I love that you mentioned Whittier haha I don’t live in Whittier but I take the drive from Anchorage every once in a while because the drive is beautiful and the town is worth it, there’s not much but if you like fresh fish then Whittier, Homer and Seward are the vibes. Also you slaughtered the name Seward 😂😂
Hi @Be Amazed. When talking about SeaLand, the flag included is the Ugandan flag and not infact the SeaLand flag. The SeaLand flag completely looks different from the flag included, which has to be the Ugandan flag😭😭. Just a small mistake that I thought should be rectified.
25:00 -- Your "old and stubborn" suggestion isn't far off. The 5 remaining residents of Centralia -- as well as a few others who've since passed on -- were a handful of holdouts who, out of some combination of pride, nostalgia, and stubbornness, refused to leave even when the government ordered them to. After years of battling, they eventually reached a settlement that allows them to remain in their homes on the condition that said homes can't be passed down to their heirs, but will revert to the government upon their deaths at which time they'll presumably be demolished.
Mansheyet Naser is a huge problem in my country… it unfortunately is not the only place that live this way. Almost toooooo many people live under the line of poverty in Egypt. It’s such a sad situation. Unfortunately, nothing about that will change any goddamn time soon
As a person speaking English like an American but was born in Egypt, there is worse that dump cities, Way Worse, like Economic crisis and the burning summer, we are having an unlucky streak btw i was born in Al Maadi, Cairo
I loved all of Egypt and its people when I was there for a year. I also agree with all you said in your comment! There are much, much worse things to see than that. No matter where you live, only the richest people can afford to live in a place where they look out over green grass and plants or flowers. And to get that rich you need to be willing to walk all over other people and their rights. Not all of us are so lacking in morals that we are willing to do that. (This is not meant as an insult to you. Not at all! It's just a comment on other people.)
Absolutely fascinating video of such incredibly varied places from appallingly sad to outright Gorgeous 😊 I'd be so happy on that island with the beautiful puffins around me ❤ Adored your Be Amazed animation falling into the sea at 18:37 🌊❤😂 Loved the Australian cave homes too, imagine digging out a storage cupboard and accidentally finding an opal instead, perfect 💎 Great video, thank you 😊
With those Shoebox apartments, the tenants should save up and buy a small car-- they would triple their living space (unless insurance and gas are too expensive). The owners of those apartments win the award for slumlord of the universe.
Columbia county has made it a lot more difficult to get to Centralia, PA. They rerouted the main highway (RT 61) so if you don't know where Centralia is you will no longer be able to find it.
Thank you for your amazing videos! There is so much out there that we can't even imagine and you bring it to us, not to mention your amazing sense of humor. I really enjoy them. Thank you!
Speaking of running out of room for burials, Bill Bryson’s book At Home, a Short History of Private Life, describes looking out across the English countryside and seeing multiple church steeples in the distance all around, each representing an accompanying graveyard. His friend he was with asked him if he’d ever noticed how old churches seem to be sunk into the ground? His friend suggested it’s because of centuries of burials in the churchyard! And from the hilltop view they had, they were probably gazing out over thousands upon thousands of burials, just in the last 150 years alone, as each steeple represented a community’s below-ground population as well as the above, the one below-ground-number possibility being multiple times more. Sobering, but that’s . . . life.
Wow! I've given this some thought before, ever since I read a sci-fi book about it, many decades ago. It's time we outlawed burying caskets of wood, metal, and plastic, filled with synthetic fabric, and bodies full of highly toxic chemicals! I can't believe that wasn't outlawed well over 500 years ago! There is already very little land left that is good for anything but piling more toxic waste on top of what's already there!
i love this channel so much, i would fall asleep to this stuff, and i was on call w my friend once playing some of this channels videos, and my best friend fell asleep to it
Yeah eh! We Canadians always need to chime in to bring the people some sanity! Unless it's windy, at -12 you barely even need a coat. A heavy sweater would do, and you don't need boots, or a second or third pair of socks or pants. If it's windy, or if you will be up high on ski lifts, then you will need more, but definately NOT just to cross the street! Sheesh!
@@cattymajiv it might be moister due to the see than where you live and therefore it might not be the walk in the park you'd imagine but for crossing a street? yeah it's a bit too much but I once saw a video stating the tunnel is more for safety against wildlife like bears than for temperature
The story at the end was very interesting. People coming together to rebuild an old, abandoned Temple complex- a *multi-faith* complex- seems to be a spirit that we've collectively lost in these divisive times. Makes you wonder why people want to repaint the past, and everyone in it as an horrendously racist, corrupt, and evil time, when the fact is, that those were times of great public works, built by people with a great deal of pride and care for their surroundings, whereas people nowadays can't even be persuaded to use a fucking litter-bin, much less come together to create something worthwhile. Next time you see a "protest march" on TV, just check out the amount of litter, rubbish, and general shite all these hypocritical 'Instagram activists' leave behind while they blame everyone else but themselves for 'ruining the planet'. Seriously, you couldn't make this shit up..... 🍄
Too many rightwingers are too greedy to share, even a tiny bit. Just watch. The space below will become full of their excuses. They will claim all poor people are at fault for their own poverty. They'll say the people are too lazy, and they don't deserve any help. Even though they themselves were given 100 or even 1000 times as much help as any poor person would ever have a hope of getting from any government. And that help that they got from their family was originally stolen from others, but they put on airs and pretend that isn't true. They claim they earned it. I am descended partly from the British. I don't know if they were rich or not initially. But if I can admit that it's possible that I benefited from stolen money, why can those who DEFINATELY did benefit from stolen money not admit it? And why can they not help anyone else? They are monsters!
I dont get it. Is Germany the coldest place on earth? (i dont mean that) But sereously we sometimes have -20° Celsius in winter, but we dont build tunnels between our homes and school. Also you showed the same Flag for Uganda and Sealand. Whats up with that?
Be amazed thank you very much and I appreciate I can see my flag of Uganda because I grew up from Uganda but I am an Arab thank you bro and blessing🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
Wow these are some amazing living places! I like Coober petty the best! N Ty for explaining the loneliest house! It’s a screen saving on my cable tv and I always wondered what it was!
6:01 I think the Pedy in Coober Pedy is pronounced like Petey. I don’t know if it’s the accent, but when a native Aussie says Coober it sounds more like Cuba.
Love your videos, Be Amazed!!! One question... The Lonely house was built in 1953 but hunters left the island in 1930? Can you cross-check this or I missed something?
Whittier, Alaska can get down to 10 degrees F, so they build a tunnel so the kids can safely go to school. Dude! Here in southwestern Wyoming this last winter, we had a high of -15 (low of -19) degrees F!! No tunnels for us. I think it was something like -30 or more in northern parts of Wyoming. Yeah, "global warming" wasn't happening here last winter.
Whittier, Alaska sounds fascinating. Only 214 people in such isolation. The questions just swirl. That building looks large, what is it divided like inside? How do people raise families there? How long does the average person live there? Is there a dating scene? What’s the average income? What’s the cost of living? Is there a wealth disparity? Do the kids go off to college? What is there to do there? Do the professionals go off to learn their trade then return? Do they have a veterinarian? How often do residents go on vacation and see other family? Do micro-trends there occur in terms of fashion, popular media, and slang? Sounds like an opportunity for an interesting semi-fictional novel. So much opportunity for unusual and compelling stories. But it sounds like super dangerous to live or even visit. Hospital or not, for anything serious, surely you’re being sent to Anchorage by LifeFlight? What is their industry? I’ve got to look more into this place. It seems worse off than Longyearbyen, Svalbard, the farthest Nothern settlement in the world. There are at least something like 2,000 people there. But speaking of the population, nobody should give birth there, in case of complications, and they move to the mainland several weeks from their due date just in case. It being an American town makes it culturally so accessible to me, but in every other way possible, extremely remote.
CE is for periods after Before Common Era Also, there's BCE which is for periods Before the Common Era. This was changed years ago to eliminate Before Christ and Anno Domini (After Christ). Funny thing is, the Common Era starts at what is supposed to be the year of Jesus' birth! A rose by any other name still smells as sweet!
I know eh! It's -14 C outside right now, here in Edmonton, or +6.8°F, and snowing quite a bit. I hate it when it gets above -15, because then everything gets slushy as hell. Cars, sidewalks, floors everywhere get covered in slush. The trails I love to ski on turn into a dirty looking nightmare, instead of a beautiful, clean, white expanse. Then, when it gets colder again, everything turns into sheer ice! The entire city of over 1 million people and many square kilometers (or miles) becomes one huge skating rink! I'd prefer it if it was like Winnipeg, where it gets cold and stays that way. There is still some ice, but less, and there's only 1 slushy period in the spring. But then Edmonton sucks anyhow, regardless of snow or temperature. Too many right wing fanatics here!
I don't understand the whittier thing like in the winter we have to drive cars to school and it use some under ground tunnel and it can be 10 degrees aswell. It can also be 0 degrees or negative degrees! However we don't go to school on days it is 0 or less
That painted road in Centralia has been covered over with tons of sand or dirt so that people won;t visit the road. Also, the underground fire in Centralia has burned further too. It now threatens another nearby town.
I’ve been to Centralia. Here’s why so few houses remain. The underground mine fires there and eminent domain. Only a handful of people still call Centralia home. When their lives end, their homes will NOT go to their next of kin. They’ll be demolished on eminent domain.
I would love that Lonely House, sounds like an autistic persons dream! Never been that fond of people, puffins sound like way better company. Though realistically, you’d probably have to eat the puffins to survive.
Hong Kong government says the issue of housing will be sorted by 2049. Then this guy says 2 generations of people between now and then. 😂 Is everyone getting pregnant at 12?
Idk, we here in Ohio get into the low 90’s in summer and regularly in the 20’s, teens, and single digits in winter, 30’s is just kinda normal. We still live above ground.
Now that you mentioned shoebox apartments, 'Deus Ex: Human Revolution' has Hong Kong (or the like) as an area and although the multi-people housing buildings are far more spacious than that, the individual "apartments" are even smaller than what you showed cuz they seem to be meant for sleeping only, and you'll go elsewhere otherwise. I kinda liked the looks of those apartments in the game but wouldn't live there.
I am an American born-citizen. I spent 15 of my years as a military spouse & the rest of my adulthood as a nurse, taking care of others. Even as a child I was a "helper"! I had to file for early Social Security due to physical disabilities (I took care of others instead of myself!), so my benefits were cut drastically. All this to say, the HongKong minimum wage income is only about $100/mo less than mine! IDK their Cost of Living, whether it's more or less than ours, but I DO know that if my home wasn't paid off, **I** wouldn't make it HERE! I barely am as it is! Any emergency & I'm robbing Peter to pay Paul already! I'm just thankful that I live in America instead of much more expensive countries! Still, our economy could be SO MUCH BETTER!! God help us!
I feel like people underestimate how important waste management facilities are, until they no longer have them. Coober Pedy sounds like something from a science fiction novel, like a real life version of the Morlock's from The Time Machine.
Sealand was in international waters for a time, but the jurisdiction lines for other countries were drawn and it's now within the UK territory. Not to say it can't be it's own nation. Let them have their fun, I say. Who is it hurting? They had their own football team. Defunct, but they plan to revive it.
6:08 It's pronounced,' COO-BER-PEE-DEE'!! You make sure you pronounced the next one in Iceland correctly so please, pronounce the Australian one the right way too.. Thank you in advance 😊
Justice for sealand
I’m sorry but Sealand has been invaded by Uganda
Yes I agree justice for sealand
sea land is a contry

I lived in Whittier. The OP forgot to mention that the other building used to be a mall. It caught on fire and was abandoned to never be rebuilt again due to it containing asbestos.

Asbestos? the only way to remove it is by having equipment, my colleagues did it in university in Switzerland , they had to change suits and respiratory equipment (everything to biohazard trash ) every 4 hours , when exiting they would need to remove , take a bath with special type of soap and rest for ...i think 2 hours , it was probably very expensive .
about haunting? its probably invented so people don't venture into that hazard building! even a little fluke of asbestos flying with the winds is extremely dangerous!

I am descended partly from the British. I don't know if they were rich or not initially. But if I can admit that it's possible that I benefited from stolen money, why can those who DEFINATELY did benefit from stolen money not admit it? And why can they not help anyone else? They are monsters!
I dont get it. Is Germany the coldest place on earth? (i dont mean that) But sereously we sometimes have -20° Celsius in winter, but we dont build tunnels between our homes and school. Also you showed the same Flag for Uganda and Sealand. Whats up with that?
Why is Ugandan flag representing sealand
Be amazed thank you very much and I appreciate I can see my flag of Uganda because I grew up from Uganda but I am an Arab thank you bro and blessing🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
Uganda now owns sealand
Who could kill a Puffin? Not me. They're so adorable. ❤
Wow these are some amazing living places! I like Coober petty the best! N Ty for explaining the loneliest house! It’s a screen saving on my cable tv and I always wondered what it was!
At 3:45 ...Why the flag of Uganda?
Always worth to wait videos with your voice!!!
Cooper Pedy is pronounced peedy 😱 luv watching your videos 👍❤️
24:47 The photo of Centralia was taken years after the narrated year (1962). Either that or the residents had a time machine to bring newer cars back.
your videos are awesome i watch them eather on my tablet or on my dads computer 😃😃😃 you never fail to amaze me
'21:15' 😅 Getting a nosebleed just looking at it 😂😂😂😂😂
23:00 LOL THAT HIT ME LIKE A CAR
28:09 havent you made a video on this place before?
I have been to Whitteir and it is truely strange.
be amazed never stops amazing us lol
Humans: anywhere we go? we live there.
6:01 I think the Pedy in Coober Pedy is pronounced like Petey. I don’t know if it’s the accent, but when a native Aussie says Coober it sounds more like Cuba.
Thank you!
I literally love your videos
This was one of my favorite videos!
Love your videos, Be Amazed!!!
One question... The Lonely house was built in 1953 but hunters left the island in 1930? Can you cross-check this or I missed something?
Original residents left in 1930 and then the hunters came… but I understand your confusion, I was confused too.
Whittier, Alaska can get down to 10 degrees F, so they build a tunnel so the kids can safely go to school.
Dude! Here in southwestern Wyoming this last winter, we had a high of -15 (low of -19) degrees F!! No tunnels for us. I think it was something like -30 or more in northern parts of Wyoming. Yeah, "global warming" wasn't happening here last winter.
Sealand is not Uganda. At 4:10
That is Uganda's flag
No he is predicting the future when Uganda takes over the world
Coober Pedy sounds like the best place to live during the apocalypse
Great video!
Whittier, Alaska sounds fascinating. Only 214 people in such isolation. The questions just swirl. That building looks large, what is it divided like inside? How do people raise families there? How long does the average person live there? Is there a dating scene? What’s the average income? What’s the cost of living? Is there a wealth disparity? Do the kids go off to college? What is there to do there? Do the professionals go off to learn their trade then return? Do they have a veterinarian? How often do residents go on vacation and see other family? Do micro-trends there occur in terms of fashion, popular media, and slang?
Sounds like an opportunity for an interesting semi-fictional novel. So much opportunity for unusual and compelling stories.
But it sounds like super dangerous to live or even visit. Hospital or not, for anything serious, surely you’re being sent to Anchorage by LifeFlight? What is their industry? I’ve got to look more into this place. It seems worse off than Longyearbyen, Svalbard, the farthest Nothern settlement in the world. There are at least something like 2,000 people there. But speaking of the population, nobody should give birth there, in case of complications, and they move to the mainland several weeks from their due date just in case.
It being an American town makes it culturally so accessible to me, but in every other way possible, extremely remote.
What time frame is CE I've heard of AD and BC but not CE
CE is for periods after Before Common Era
Also, there's BCE which is for periods Before the Common Era.
This was changed years ago to eliminate Before Christ and Anno Domini (After Christ).
Funny thing is, the Common Era starts at what is supposed to be the year of Jesus' birth!
A rose by any other name still smells as sweet!
@@ittybittykittymama7582 at least CE and BCE make sense but why is BC in English and AD not lol
He said -12C was so cold the child stayed in door. Hahaha, that is a normal winter day for Canadnavia.
I know eh! It's -14 C outside right now, here in Edmonton, or +6.8°F, and snowing quite a bit. I hate it when it gets above -15, because then everything gets slushy as hell. Cars, sidewalks, floors everywhere get covered in slush. The trails I love to ski on turn into a dirty looking nightmare, instead of a beautiful, clean, white expanse. Then, when it gets colder again, everything turns into sheer ice! The entire city of over 1 million people and many square kilometers (or miles) becomes one huge skating rink! I'd prefer it if it was like Winnipeg, where it gets cold and stays that way. There is still some ice, but less, and there's only 1 slushy period in the spring. But then Edmonton sucks anyhow, regardless of snow or temperature. Too many right wing fanatics here!
Why is the flag for Sealand the same as the one for Uganda?
That Japanese gas mask island got a head start on 2020, didn't they?
Why did the flag of Uganda pop up
I don't understand the whittier thing like in the winter we have to drive cars to school and it use some under ground tunnel and it can be 10 degrees aswell. It can also be 0 degrees or negative degrees! However we don't go to school on days it is 0 or less
I'm from Uganda. Curious why you used the Ugandan flag for "Sealand". Weird . We've never heard of such a place in Uganda lol.
2:00 Trailblazer: "Could they be one of my people?"
That painted road in Centralia has been covered over with tons of sand or dirt so that people won;t visit the road. Also, the underground fire in Centralia has burned further too. It now threatens another nearby town.
The second word of Coober Pedy rhymes with needy, not with ready.
I’ve been to Centralia. Here’s why so few houses remain. The underground mine fires there and eminent domain. Only a handful of people still call Centralia home. When their lives end, their homes will NOT go to their next of kin. They’ll be demolished on eminent domain.
Why is the Sealand’s flag Uganda flag? But I love your channel!
Because Uganda is destined to take over the world
He literally put the flag of Uganda for sealand !
UGANDA IS DESTINED TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD
Ah, Centralia.
The inspiration, at least partially, for Silent Hill.
AnotherBe amazed vid thats amazing❤
that dramatic tone change made me laugh way harder then it should of 23:02
I would love that Lonely House, sounds like an autistic persons dream! Never been that fond of people, puffins sound like way better company. Though realistically, you’d probably have to eat the puffins to survive.
Just an FYI: The British Army doesn't have 'Royal' in its title. We do have the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, but not Royal Army.
Very true❤
Sealand makes the symphony of the seas a floating country
Epic video as always 😍
Hong Kong government says the issue of housing will be sorted by 2049. Then this guy says 2 generations of people between now and then. 😂 Is everyone getting pregnant at 12?
Idk, we here in Ohio get into the low 90’s in summer and regularly in the 20’s, teens, and single digits in winter, 30’s is just kinda normal. We still live above ground.
Too bad that one-house island won't survive rising sea levels
How could anyone hurt a puffin?! Just look at them!
5:27 THATS UGANDA's flag
Ik
Uganda is destined to take over the world
The flag that you used to represent Sealand is the flag of Uganda
Yes Uganda is destined to take over the world
FYI:The obligation to carry a gas mask on Miyakejima Island appears to have been lifted since around 2017.
So did anyone ever inform the volcano that the residents weren’t going to be carrying their gas mask anymore?
"and a bottle." OH HELL NAW THAT'S YOUR TOILET?!
Now that you mentioned shoebox apartments, 'Deus Ex: Human Revolution' has Hong Kong (or the like) as an area and although the multi-people housing buildings are far more spacious than that, the individual "apartments" are even smaller than what you showed cuz they seem to be meant for sleeping only, and you'll go elsewhere otherwise. I kinda liked the looks of those apartments in the game but wouldn't live there.
i live every video you guys put out. keep up the good work. also guys we need to start putting together lore for the be amazed mascot
Wrong flag used for sea land
No Uganda is going to invade he is just making sure it’s accurate for the future
I believe you messed up the flag of Sealand as the flag shown in the video was of Uganda
UGANDA IS DESTINED TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD
I am an American born-citizen. I spent 15 of my years as a military spouse & the rest of my adulthood as a nurse, taking care of others. Even as a child I was a "helper"! I had to file for early Social Security due to physical disabilities (I took care of others instead of myself!), so my benefits were cut drastically. All this to say, the HongKong minimum wage income is only about $100/mo less than mine! IDK their Cost of Living, whether it's more or less than ours, but I DO know that if my home wasn't paid off, **I** wouldn't make it HERE! I barely am as it is! Any emergency & I'm robbing Peter to pay Paul already! I'm just thankful that I live in America instead of much more expensive countries! Still, our economy could be SO MUCH BETTER!! God help us!
I feel like people underestimate how important waste management facilities are, until they no longer have them. Coober Pedy sounds like something from a science fiction novel, like a real life version of the Morlock's from The Time Machine.
Sealand was in international waters for a time, but the jurisdiction lines for other countries were drawn and it's now within the UK territory. Not to say it can't be it's own nation. Let them have their fun, I say. Who is it hurting?
They had their own football team. Defunct, but they plan to revive it.
0:19 what do use the bottle for
6:08 It's pronounced,'
COO-BER-PEE-DEE'!!
You make sure you pronounced the next one in Iceland correctly so please, pronounce the Australian one the right way too..
Thank you in advance 😊
I’d love to live on that puffin island after a hard day with my kids lol.
