Totally impressed with Japanese authorities getting that road fixed in a week!! In the UK that would still be waiting now in 2022!!

2:10 Incredible- you see all these rocks falling, and you might wonder- just how big are they- you don't really have such a good scale on things until you see just one of those "little" things crash right through a steel bridge and demolish it.

Remember that if a tornado seems to be standing still, it’s coming right at you.

Total admiration for that woman that didn’t panic when her chute got twisted.

I got mad mad respect for the female jumper. She was a straight soldier, during understandable panic time.

somebody already mentioned, and I would like to highlight as well. The surfer must be extremely professional - if you watch closely, he dived exactly when he had to, to avoid the wave and also to make it back on the surface in time to catch his breath! Incredible skills that saved his life! Well deserved!

Here in America, the sinkhole would have been left for years, while politicians argue on who should spend the money to fix it.

Seen before but worth it again. That one rock that comes out of nowhere and seems to be a laser guided bridge buster. Crazy.

The rock that took out the bridge was TINY compared to some of the others. Im not sure id still have been standing there filming that!

I've only ever been to the beach once. I was sitting down and the waves were small, but one of them caught me by surprise and slapped me in the face. For a wave only around 2 and a half-ish feet high, it packed one hell of a punch! I can't even begin to imagine how hard those super waves were hitting that surfer! Just WOAH!

In Japan, it takes a week to fill in a sink hole, while in England, it takes years to fill in a pot hole. And twice the expense too

Japan is impressive at getting things done. A pothole where I live could take months to fix.

13:02 Hats off to the guy who managed to land his hat on the roof 👏🏻

This must be what it felt like in Medieval times in a castle under siege, as catapults were lobbing huge rocks at you.

Most impressive part was when that person so effortlessly tossed their hat on top of their vehicle 13:00

I'm just amazed how that guy threw his cap on top of the beach buggy at 13:00

Hearing that nonchalant "whew" after uncontrolled falling with malfunctioning 'chute shows nerves of steel. I was in an external stairwell surrounded by glass between the 5th and 6th floors of a local hospital as a tornado hit. I'm afraid of heights, I tried to enter the doors on floor 4, 5, going into hospital and doors were locked, exit only. I imagined being sucked out. I'm afraid of heights, I used that stairwell to try to conquer that fear. I imagined it would be a crazy ride if I was sucked into the sky, until I hit something or landed. I was safe. The tornado sirens were sounding as I entered the parking deck, I parked in the back corner where the deck was built into the rocks on side of a mountain. My wife waited in the car as I went to pick up her prescription. The cars were picked up and shoved together in that corner where I parked, cars were flipped in other parts of that deck. Overall it was an exhilarating afternoon.

One week for that sink hole? One opened up in the middle of the Ed where my brother lives and it took the council over three months to fix it!! It was only about 10ft if that!!

In America, it would take at least 5 years and billions of dollars to fix that sinkhole.

Woah ! Those sure were pretty incredible close calls. I'm glad those people survived ❤

I'd like to offer my love and thoughts to the people impacted by the kentucky tornado yesterday. 70+ people lost their lives, and thousands displaced 😥❤

Wow that last video is a beautiful demonstration on how following a safety instructions can actually save your life. Just don't you ever neglect the protocols, they can save your life and health in a hell of a situation!!

It only took the Japanese one week to fix the damage caused by the sinkhole, impressive! Stateside, it would have taken months! We could learn from the Japanese.

i love how people are driving through the tornado like it doesnt exist

The most terrifying was the tornado, particularly after what happened this week in Kentucky and Illinois. The most daring was the woman who base jumped off that tower and almost lost it. But the most amazing was the fact that the huge sinkhole in Japan was repaired within a week! Damn! I live in the S.F. Bay Area, and it took YEARS to rebuild the portion of the Bay Bridge that was damaged during the Loma Prieta earthquake!

here in NY that sink hole would take at least 10 yrs to fix

That sinkhole in Japan... If that happened in NYC where I live, it would take at least 6 months before the repair work begins, and would take another year before the work is completed. What's wrong with our once best-in-the-world work ethic? Oh, and of course there would be a bunch of lawsuits and class actions initiated by store owners in the area for the loss of profits...

I just found this channel and I'm currently binge watching. AMAZING content! 🖤🖤🖤

That base jumper impressed me! She stayed calm and cool. Because of that she's alive!

Every time the surfer went under I found myself holding my breath.

Fixing that huge sink hole in 1 week is amazing 👏

2.50- if a rock can destroy a bridge with that force, just imagine the impact, an asteroid with 12km diameter would have had when collided with our earth at enormous speed, leaving the dinosaurs to be extinct.

Holy heck that last guy was one VERY very lucky dude! Someone was most certainly looking out for him that day. If you look closely, he wasn’t being sucked under, he was diving under the waves to give himself a better chance - smart thinking, it kept him in semi control. The fact he survived that is nothing short of miraculous though.

That bridge in the first video wow,

There’s a 30 ton boulder headed right for us! Quick….shut the flimsy wooden door.

It was refreshing to hear you adjusted the way you present these videos. I actually enjoyed this one. 👏👍

I still recall the Thanksgiving avalanche that shut down I-70 in both directions for a few days. On a day that was actually predicted to be one of the busiest traffic days. Not one injury or death. No cars were on that stretch. Due to the weirdness of a beer truck tipping early that morning, forcing a shutdown while the beer and wrecked truck were cleaned up. Loss of beer meant no loss of life!

now if only America could be that quick, thorough, and efficient with its road work -_- takes over six fucking months for an expansion and weeks for simple resurfacing

Amazing collection of tru life video's, very impressive and realizing yourself that sometimes a narrow escape can be really narrow. Kudo's to those who made the clips and to those who edited them together in this video.

I was in a tornado once and saved ONLY due to the fact that my friends house was brick. The giant trees next to the house were ripped out of the ground leaving a 20 foot in diameter hole each...I felt bad for the neighbors because their homes were ripped to shreds.

Wow, the twisted parachute is so, so scary... Imagine you're falling towards the earth and accelerating every second...

I've been to Nazaré, it's an amazing beach, but the sweetest was in the morning there were a bunch of older men with tractors and shovels cleaning the sand off the street that runs along the edge of the beach. The beach just goes on forever and is a beautiful colour :)

Amazing video Underworld💯 I liked the rockside & tornado videos the best👍

Brilliantly narrated , thanks...

1 week to repair and repair and reopen that sinkhole?! If that was pothole/culvert damage here in Massachusetts, USA it would go on 6 months at least. And this is tiny town USA.

No: 2, Hats off to the Japanese, they are one unique people.

Frightening But on a side note, the first video with the rocks crashing down.... i picture Scrat at the top of the mountain holding an acorn with a oops look on his face.

That China tornado looks like it would be a EF1.5-ish...but a EF1 tornado will DEFINITELY ruin your day. Great video!

Impressive clips. The rock fall did it for me. When that boulder hit that bridge... Wow!

Tornados ripped through Kentucky Friday, Dec. 10, 2021and destroyed 1,000+/- homes. There were at least 4 twisters in Kentucky alone. 74 people are confirmed dead, and 109 more are still missing. There were also tornadoes that hit Tennessee, Indiana, Missouri, and Illinois. Here in Michigan we had strong winds with gusts between 60 to 70 mph which knocked out power here for 37 hours, likely longer than that in other places in this state, but we didn't have any tornados. Temps inside my home got down to 38°F before power was restored, but I feel blessed we were not hit with tornados. 1,000's in Kentucky lost everything. I wrapped up in blankets to stay warm. Many in Kentucky don't even have blankets. 😪😢

Thanks for good stuff. The lady jumper and the surf rescue were impressive.

Truly scary! Thanks for sharing.

I was immensely reassured that the cause of that sinkhole was human error, rather than a random act of nature! That way, we can be certain that it will never reoccur. The repairs to that junction were carried out superbly, one week from work beginning to work completion! The base jumper was an absolute professional, she immediately got to rectifying her in flight emergency and regained full control. Very impressive flying skills!

The guys on the JetSki’s are fucking special people‼️

Thanks for a great year of videos. I am looking forward to 2023 and many more!

All amazing, love these videos. I have missed a few opportunities to film amazing natural events

We've had 2 tornadoes in Saint louis. Two years apart. As their paths crossed about 150 houses actually got hit twice. Both were during the night so very little footage.

Why have I never heard of this place in Portugal? Wow ! Those waves are amazing!

"What's your name, son?" The principal asked his student. The kid replied, "D-d-d-dav-dav-david, sir." "Do you have a stutter?" the principal asked. The student answered, "No sir, my dad has a stutter but the guy who registered my name was a real jerk."

When I first came to America I experienced the tornado it sound like a train thankfully it did not touched the ground.😞

Your channel is the only top x channel with a moderator talking that i watch because you never disappoint

Loved that all lived through these perilous events!

Great video. Thank you.

5:11 How, pray tell, does that qualify as "a sunny day"? Not a ray of sunshine is seen in the footage, and the sky is filled with cloud cover......

I was hit by a small 5 foot wave from behind. I felt like I was in a washing machine, I was dragged on the bottom and came up with sand burns all over me. I can't imagine how that surfer felt.

Thank you for your Channel update God bless you Brother

Amazing video's thank you!

That rescue with the Jet ski was epic👊

Yeah during a rockslide lets all go inside and close the door, and watch out the window. that always saves everyone who does that. Also on another note when you are stuck on train tracks and a train is speeding toward you, roll up the window that would help save you.

Wow 😮 that’s amazing footage !

Very good video. That wave is gigantic!

This is amazing

Whats shocking is how quickly the hole was fixed. In Japan.

Fabulous work!!! Onward!!

Hi underworld that was a amazing video glad no one was hurt david 👌❤️🇬🇧👍

Another great video thanks for posting. (Subscribed ages ago, I'm not that silly) ;)

Once I was waterskiing in florida. Well, something that I have done very well in my 20s and have not done almost for 20 years! So, I was heading back to NYC and I decided to try it right before the flight. I know all the canals are connected in FL and dear alligators move freely in the lakes and canals. So, I made sure and asked MANY times before I got in the water, if it was safe and the guy told me that it's perfectly safe, nothing to worry about, even kids do that.... and then he says - alligators are afraid of the sound the motor boat and don't come any close! - But this words he said when I was already in the water with water-skis on my feet! GOSH! In no time I was standing on my feet and skiing but imagine, I have not done that for 20 years! My friend was on the boat chatting with the boat "driver" and the boat made such a noise that they were not able to hear me screaming my lungs out! I got tired almost right-away!! But would not let go off the robe and would not fall in that water by any means! Alligators are all over! And how the hell I know if they are so hungry that they don't care for the noise! Anyhow, finally one of them turned back and saw me screaming and waving! and when the boat stopped, I literally ran on the water, that's how fast I got back on the boat! This is survival instinct. That instinct gave that guy strength to fight those waves! In no other circumstances he would be able to make that much an effort! I can tell about myself that if not the fair of those gators in the water, I would not last 20 seconds above the water! And I did all 20 minute round!!!!!!!!(yeah, those bastards have not turned once in that time period)! My muscles hurt for at least 2 months after that! Every muscle! And I was so exhausted, I could not even talk! Yeah, why would you do waterski in florida where gators are all over? But hey, I did it again after 20 years when I was already 40 only thanks to mr. gators! No other supernatural power would make me do that! :D

That rockfall was dramatic! (And a good illustration of how planets become spherical.)

Number 2 please come to Costa Rica!! We need you!

The tower jump shows a problem with base jumping. The twist in her gear was probably a result of the eddies forming around the tower. There is a saying that applies to these "sports". "You don't have to be crazy to do them, but it helps."

It was so weird how that rock slide looked like it was in slo-mo.

Awesome Annette cool close call you got that. 😲🙏🤗.

I live at the ocean ...Atlantic... I have never seen waves like that. A small wave can knock you down...it amazes me they never had a drowning...all the videos are amazing

13:01 I was most impressed by that guy's hat throw

My family, and I were caught in an f5 tornado, when I was 12. We sheltered with another family in a basement that was a ways underground. It tore the house above us apart, and uprooted a big as big as half a football stadium. Lucky no one was injured, or died. It was terrifying. Keep damaging the planet, and we will see more worse storms a lot more often.

what's really impressive is that Japanese people gets that sink hole repaired in 1 week, That's Incredible !!

I lived by the ocean, just above where a big wave was known to form and come in. We called it "Maverick" then and I used walk down a block or so below my house to sit on the cliffs and watch the surfers ride Maverick. There was an incident once, where a guy from Hawaii had heard about the monster wave and came to California to ride it. I did not see what happened that day, but heard almost immediately and went down to Pillar Point with a friend to go out in a boat and look for him. We never found him, then, a few days later they did find him. I think that was around 1998 just before I moved away from the Coastside. Today, they call that wave "Mavericks" now, and people come from all over to surf it. I don't know why they pluralized it, but names often get distorted with time. Today, they have ski-doos or sea-doos that can motor out there and grab someone in the water; they didn't used to have that safety feature years ago. Now, I guess Nazaré in Portugal is the big wave place to surf. Water weighs a little over 8 pounds a gallon and even 6" of rapidly moving water can knock you over if you are trying to wade in it! Water is so powerful, and imagine tons of it crashing down on you, there's not a lot of hope to survive that! I learned respect for waves as a child. I was out jumping the swells once, when a big wave came and pushed me under, I went down and was rolled along the sandy bottom all the way to shore! It scared me and I was scratched a bit by the bottom, but I was okay. But it taught me to respect the water. I love the water and have been in and on it a lot, sailing and SCUBA diving, but I've never lost my respect for what a lot of it can do with its immense power! I never surfed but today, I guess they can wear the same kind of gear that inflates, like skiers use in avalanche areas, that inflates and sends or keeps you on the surface in water surfing wave crashes or snow avalanches. None too soon either!

It would take WA State DOT 5 years to repair the damage of that sinkhole in Japan.

10:58... a BUMP? IN the water? Lol

it's mad events like this that helped me pick geology and geography as my majors

Great post.

#4 That's what I love about Japanese. They always think about the convenience of others that they will work fast to get the job done.

I so much admire the Japanese people, they are honorable disciplined hard-working people, they are like my Mexican heritage, I am proud to be like the Japanese, I would be so fortunate to visit my dream destination! I am a retired disabled man who would love to visit Japan and meet the Japanese people and I would be so honored to work with the agriculture side by side with them, 🙏

Ok so glad that surfer lived scary , but it would be amazing to watch them from the safety of shore!

I grew up in tornado alley here in America. Consequently have had to rebuild more than a couple of times. Terrifying.

That sink hole in tha usa would have taken over a year to repair, slow as fuck usa state and county workers are us is their moto.

The Climate Waits for No One Thirty years ago, a friend of mine got into the green energy business and tried to pull me into it. I asked him what for, it isn’t serious. He said, “You have no idea how much money is being poured into it. Everyone wants in on it, politicians, financiers, businesspeople, the lot.” He was right, of course. Yet, no one wants to promote green energy in order to save the planet, but only to swell up their pockets even more. The declarations, therefore, remain in the assembly hall where they are stated, necessary actions are ignored, and the climate waits for no one: It will keep deteriorating. This week in Glasgow, Scotland, the 26th UN Climate Change Conference is taking place. Officially, it aims to “bring parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.” In reality, the countries plan to do the exact opposite. This year’s UN Production Gap Report, which tracks the discrepancy between governments’ planned fossil fuel production and actual global production levels, states the following: “Despite increased climate ambitions and net-zero commitments, governments still plan to produce more than double the amount of fossil fuels in 2030 than what would be consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C [2.7°F].” Energy sources and technologies do change, but not according to what is best for the planet. It changes according to the interests of politicians and money moguls, and it never benefits the planet or the majority of its inhabitants, namely all of us. Since the climate waits for no one, eventually, it will catch up with us. Earth is a closed system, and in a closed system, there are consequences to exploitation: it hurts the abuser as well as the abused. I don’t know when or at what cost, but eventually, we will all have to realize that we cannot take beyond what we need. We cannot keep exploiting Earth selfishly and thoughtlessly because it will turn against us. Earth is like a submarine: there is only so much oxygen on board. If some crew members take more than their quota, the rest will not have enough, they will die, and the submarine will sink along with those who exceeded their quota. We need constant reminders that we are one system, and we are all dependent on each other. We need to genuinely grasp that selfishness hurts us just as being exploitative hurts others. If we constantly remind ourselves that we are interdependent, we will behave with more consideration, and we will avoid the punitive impact of climate change. The other option is to keep working as the UN’s Production Gap Report states that we are planning to work, and suffer nature’s unforgiving response. I hope we wise up in time because everyone will pay the price for this mistake.

"Rockfall! I better get inside. I'll be perfectly safe behind this glass!" I shouldn't joke. The worst natural disaster I've experienced is my brother.

11:30" I haven't laughed so much in a long time. That Thiago is a real moron. 😂😂😂😂👍🏻

The guys on the jet skis were heroic.
