You overlooked the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora. That was devastating to the extent that 1816 was "the year without summer". Due to a misprint, the Farmers Almanac for 1816 predicted snow in Boston in July, and it did happen! That gave Farmers Almanac an undeserved reputation.
I got to see a solar eclipse once. The thing that impressed me the most was the near-instant temperature drop of about ten degrees and the strong breeze that arrived at the same time.
The rebuild of Lisbon following the 755 earthquake brought about some interesting changes, not least of which being the Pombaline style of archiecture which included firebreaks and firewalls between residences to prevent the spread of fire. The areas of Lisbon that escaped the worst ravages of the earthquake (e.g. the Alfama) are noticably different in their layout compared to the post-earthquake town planning.
I definitely thing there is some unresolved issues. Why are you salty about a video, on the internet, that you clicked on, watched for at least 8 minutes, took the time to comment on, and knew would have footage from disasters. A boring video would be one that has no examples of the disaster. @CerberusHD
What about the volcano on Santorini? Some archiologists believe it precipitated the end on the Minoan empire and shrouded the globe in ash, causing extensive crop failure across the Med, Middle East and N Africa plus extended winters for several years.
My dad survived the Palm Sunday tornadoes in northern Indiana. He remembers carrying his baby sister over to a neighbors house because they had a basement.
In 1925, southern Illinois had coal-mining towns back. When the Trie-State hit, the men in one of those towns were down in the mines. When they got word and came back to the surface, their homes were destroyed and their wives and children were almost all dead.
I must say I remember coming across something about a town disappearing overnight from liquified land.. haven't been able to find anymore about it but I believe it too was in a Chinese province
Going back before written human history, around 74 000 years ago humans witnessed Toba supereruption. Toba (also in Indonesia) would dwarf the Krakatau eruption. It lasted between 9 to 14 days. Massive area around was covered in over 100m thick material, and it covered even the Indian subcontinent in 5cm of material, with material deposit reaching as far as Africa. Even more insane event that some of the very earliest if human ancestors were unlucky to witness some 5.3 million years ago was flood of the Mediterranean. Before the flood, water level was significantly lower and Europe and Africa were connected. However, breach at the Strait of Gibraltar let the water from Atlantic fill in the basin with estimated force of water that is thousand times that of the Amazon river discharge. Some estimates are saying the whole Mediterranean basin filled within months.
Depending on how you calculate it the eruption of Laki in 1783 may have a death toll of over 6 million people. Apart from the 9000 people in Iceland that died the 120 million tons of sulfur dioxide that went into the atmosphere caused such harsh winters in the northern hemisphere that famine, cold and disease resulted in an estimate of 6 million deaths total.
Simon, you have had a small handful of videos where you expressed your (presumably) personal opinions on the subject you are discussing. It's hard to emphasize how those videos were magnitudes better than the typical (really good) ones. I hope we see more of that. Just an observation by me--there are ramblers who talk fast, and then there are brilliant people who do the same simply because they can think at that pace. I'm certain you match the latter. I get the pretty popular/decent # of viewers model, but I just feel like you've got some exceptionally insightful opinions to share. Hopefully we see more of that soon.
Use the captions! Hit the "CC" box on bottom right corner. OR - Hit the "gear wheel" for settings, choose subtitles... you can change the subtitle's color, size, location, background color, etc via "options" Cheers!
The cooling period following Krakatoa was the reason this period of time was chosen as the baseline for the global warming hypothesis, it was already 0.6 to 1.6 degrees C colder initially which made the theory sound reasonable
Seriously? U rank the Tri State Tornado above Krakatoa?? Theyre not even in the same universe of strength or consequences! And even Krakatoa pales in comparison to the Toba eruption, which didnt even make the list despite almost eradicating we humans But ok with historys worst natural disasters, u apparently mean only those in the last 500 years. The Tri State Tornado, while horrible, still wouldnt even make the top 100..
Well. okay it's a list... But he called them "the worst disasters...", so it kinda is ranked, and there are much worse which happened. If Krakataoa is already mentioned, even in the last like 200 years... Tambora was way bigger and it was nowhere mentioned, so even that modern history thing is not correct...
well somehow the video is tittled " Projets annexes Janvier 2025 Intégration des publicités Incogni " wich is translated in french from i dont know where but okay. :)
Not to yuk anyones yum, but for an informational video I just feel the need to add some context to how Tornados are classified (Environmental Scientist here). Tornados are not classified just off wind speed, but also how much damage they inflict, so there can be a very powerful tornado, but if it doesn't hit anything, then it doesn't get a high classification. For example, in 2024, Oklahoma had one of the strongest tornados ever recorded, but because it happened in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma, it never got an EF5 rating when if it hit a populated area it would've.
Thankfully through the science of what it takes ti form a tornado and paleo climatology we do know. Theres never really been a time in earths history where the conditions would lead to stronger storms. Even when the climate was much hotter, meaning more fuel for storms, the shape and location of the continents limited their ability. We have such strong tornadoes now because the climate and location and geography are in a sweet spot. Sorry, i have to listen to the rants of a tornado obsessed paleo climatologist so i make it everyone elses problem when the chance arises.
I like how everyone features Krakataua, but Tambora was a magnitude bigger, caused more death, and after it there was a year without summer, the sound could be heard from much farther, but no one seems to talk about it, but it was not even that long ago, in 1815 to be exact. So yes Krakataua was big, and most likely horrible, but if that made it onto this list, Tambora should be there aswell. The information in this video is like all over the place with the other stuff aswell... Nice facts, but absolutely not accurate. Do more accurate research pls.
…Is there a way to disable the automatic translation feature? For some reason the title of this video in German is “Sideprojects Jan 2025 Incogni-Anzeigenintegration” which means “Sideprojects Jan 2025 Incogni display integration”. That’s an odd title to say the least. And that’s completely ignoring that the automatic dubbing that RUclips added is weird and shit as well. Luckily you can turn this off easily. But seeing these either badly translated titles or sometimes odd titles often prevents me from clicking on a video, since why would I watch it when I’m not even sure what it’s about. And even worse when it misleads me, since it presents the video as being in my native language, when it actually isn’t. Even if I don’t have a problem with watching English videos, in a weird way I feel “disappointed” and often don’t want to continue watching. Anyways, that was my little rant. The RUclips auto translate feature is annoying
What the ones that coming this year , since no doubt it's going a hot summer .And hot summer's always have disasters , I mean you peeps in the old county had on 87 , which I missed as kid .Since I was on a European Vacation that summer , and all I remember the U.K . , that summer was the rain , since there was not much sun there at time . But there was a major storm there ,and sounds bad .Even talking to the odd dudes from London , like you should talk about that .But Europe in the eighties was sweet .
A kilometre and a half is very close to a mile IIRC? I usually work it out as 0.6 miles in a kilometre, and for the record my country is 95% metric, just a few things are still worked out in imperial. We aren’t the only ones, looking at you Canada, pretending to be metric, I’ve been to your stores, (minus certain liquids and weights) I know it’s lies! 😂
Earthquakes are terrifying/amazing/and fascinating... i know people living in more geoactive will probably jidge me for it .... and I trul: xeel with them... I an austrian whitnesed my bed wobble while layingi it a couple of years ago ... knowing somethimg was wrong... Couple of hours later i sadly heard the news about what was for me ""that was an exciting ride of mymatress" ... Was an earthquake that sadly killed some 300 in italy.
The one that came to mind was the great cyclone that hit Bangladesh in 1970 and killed 300,000 people but that was caught on video. However, the cyclone of 1737 that hit India and Bengal had a similar death toll.
@Stephen-r3x welt America is number 1 super power, on earth, so it should be in the imperial system. It's disrespectful to not include that as a measure in the video.
He is located is Czech Republic, that's Europe FYI, they use kms there like almost all other countries in the world. America & Britain BOTH use miles, Britain kinda came up with in the fist place. I hope you realize Britain has been around a tiny bit longer then America?
@Donttreadthis6797 we America got 250k bodies in Vietnam compared to them only getting 58k of us we won that war of body count. we got more Afghans then they got of us. & stabilized that craphole country for 20 years ,& gave them everything to stay free if they cared to fight for them selfs. 🫡.

Yes, I just commented this aswell... Tambora was a magnitude higher and by far the biggest erruption in modern history.
If every event was listed the video would never end.
I got to see a solar eclipse once. The thing that impressed me the most was the near-instant temperature drop of about ten degrees and the strong breeze that arrived at the same time.

The sound of Krakatoa was picked up by a recording cylinder in Australia. It can be heard online.

Simon: .... worst natural disasters, that were never recorded on video.
8 minutes later: *shows clips of the disaster as it happens*
Well... he's "technically" correct. Caught on film and a video recording can be rationalized as not being the same thing. lol

According to Wiki, no known footage of the disaster is known to exist. Only post disaster shots.
What about the volcano on Santorini? Some archiologists believe it precipitated the end on the Minoan empire and shrouded the globe in ash, causing extensive crop failure across the Med, Middle East and N Africa plus extended winters for several years.

No mention of the 1900 Galveston hurricane? The worst natural disaster ever in the US.
In 1925, southern Illinois had coal-mining towns back. When the Trie-State hit, the men in one of those towns were down in the mines. When they got word and came back to the surface, their homes were destroyed and their wives and children were almost all dead.
The 416AD Krakatoa eruption makes the 1883 one look like a firecracker…
The Tunguska Event and the Toba Eruption were something else entirely.
Excited for this! been binge watching your videos simon, your content is actually so consistent for over 5 years. Keep it up!
I must say I remember coming across something about a town disappearing overnight from liquified land.. haven't been able to find anymore about it but I believe it too was in a Chinese province

"History" seems to be "human history" here. But taking a broader view, the Yellowstone super volcano and the Chicxulub impact would be right up there.
Of all those disasters, I think I would pick the tornado.
1970s cyclone killed a million people in Bangladeshi. Has to be in the top 5.
