I don't know how if people believe in life after death I know that I don't believe in God I'm an atheist. But since the small child I had memories of this fire would ask my mom and dad and an older people my mom and dad would take me around to libraries to read about the fire sometimes she would go there alone because she was an adult she was able to get into different areas of the library back then I'm now 48 years old. I was able to tell my mom things about the Great fire of London that she said you would only know that by books that then we didn't even have VCR or DVDs or anything we have books and sometimes maybe a documentary but still the information that you would find or on the TV it was be nothing compared to what you can get online today. I start having nightmares I did see a few therapy people who was astounded by the information I used to give them the the nightmares turned into a point where I couldn't sleep and I was scared to close my eyes because if I was in the nightmare for me back then they was houses or a little huts maybe shops of some type or working men on the bridges of the great fire which also got attacked by the fire. From what we can gather I was a maybe a teenager from what I could see but then again I could have been maybe 12 or 13 and I was on the bridge and screaming for help people running around me me trying to get away from the fire and the only way I could go down was to jump off the bridge and so I jumped off the bridge and the last thing I remember seeing is just all these bodies in the water and as I looked up before I hit the water just flames falling down on me. Now people reading this might think oh she's just a weirdo but no the information I was able to give about so many places I'm from London born and break London morning wc1 no one has ever spoken to me about the great fire never heard about it but about the great fire but I was able to give information to send people about the great fire it caused me a lot of grief and agony and when I finally saw a therapist it was a case of having to let me be able to go to sleep without having these horrible horrific dreams to talk about it I know what they went through I was even given a name of a family it lived on one of the bridges because of the amount of information I gave which I won't be given here but it helped me to come to terms but I still have those nightmares less but I still have those nightmares and I was definitely a boy. Scared of my mind and the worst thing was I couldn't swim so I knew if I jumped off that bridge I was going to die I was right in the middle but the whole bridge the fire was just ignited so everybody was jumping off the bridge so I had to I didn't want to burn so I jumped but then of course I died but the image in my mind when I died I was so scared to go to go near the bridge until I started talking about it to my parents and too many other people and then they started investigating with me and for me and a few historians came to see me the bridge the I know exactly what Bridget was the hutch jump off and seeing all those dead people in the water before I died was horrific and most of that bridge had to be rebuilt from under and on top and they never put houses on there ever again huts or whatever you want to call them!!🥺

I think there was a movie in Black and White, long before Technicolour! I barely remember it as a child. Possibly " Samuel Pepys Diaries, But I can not be certain

Also the gunpowder plot - I'm not sure a movie has been made about that - there's a few drama documentaries about it

right here is the problem with movies - any major disaster: deep water horizon, 9/11, ww2 they wanna make a film so they can make money off it

That's what I was wondering, did they have nay kind of fire control methods? What did they actually do when there was a fire? Seems like they had no clue.

It must’ve been exceptionally dry that year. One would think it’s so rainy there that extensive, ravaging fires would be a rarity

Especially to the people whose world ended!

Years ago I read that the fire was instrumental in eliminating the plague outbreak.

@elisabeth very probable because the majority of rats were certainly killed, they could not run fast enough from such a horrendous fire.

@@PIERRECLARY Uhhh...What?

I could in the 1990, Oakland, CA and bear in mind the previous year we were semi-recovering from that World Series Quake in 89. A Fire Storm apparently the first time it had ever occurred in Oakland's & Berkeley's History broke out, in the surrounding Berkeley Hill's near U.C. Berkeley and the Lawrence Hall of Science, The Oakland Hill's around The Claremont Hotel were all a blaze yet somehow that Hotel never burn downed. The weird part about that day, it was the only time while in our house that my mom didn't have on the News. With the Firestorm came and onslaught of people with really bad Allergies & Asthma being advised by Doctor's not too go out into that Air because of the Environmental issue's stemming from that raging Fire. It would of killed Us, and in my case, it nearly had, I had a sneeze marathon going on with me. While in my bathroom getting more tissues for my nose I sneezed so hard that I slammed my head in to my marble sink. That gave me a whopping Concussion. Mom called the doctor who told us she didn't know what was going on the Doctor's office were being Flooded with Calls from patients in West Side Oakland as opposed to East Side Oakland, turning on the News The Fire Storm was featured. The Doctor called mom back too let her know she can't take me out in to that Air It Will Care. Most of my friend's went to a school in that era where the Fire blazed it scared The News Crew and Oakland Fire Fighters because the Fire had Jumped The Freeway. B.A.R.T had to suspend service's on The back then Concord train Route & Richmond because it stopped at Berkeley Station's on it's way to Richmond, CA. As for me a friend of the family brought my Allergy medications and for some reason, that I didn't understand a single Can of Regular Coke Cola. Apparently, some Old School Doctor's used Coke Cola on asthmatic patient's because the Carbon in the Soda, helped them breathe and since I was having trouble breathing from my allergies they felt it would help me Too. They were right, I could finally breathe and sleep through The Night, but I had to stay away from School for 3 Day's because the smog from the Fire was still in the Air. The saddest News we learned of in relation to Berkeley's & Oakland CA Firestorm some Elder's died in the Fire because they would not leave their pets behind because for some that was all they had were there Pet's. Come 1992, on the other hand, I was glad lived in Oakland and not L.A. why? The Rodney King Verdict April 29, 1992 all those Set Fire's would of greatly compromised me with my Allergies.

@@jaggg.3821 That sounds horrific. I feel for you and anyone who experienced that. I just meant, the masses of people who literally lost everything, homes,business, health. They didn't have any real welfare services in those days. Insurance barely existing businesses devastated. The poor had not the support we have these days.

@@rosiebeardshaw658 that's true.

In terms of the fire, I think most Australians can understand it, we get bushfires with the intensity of 1500 Hiroshima bombs you know & they jump 30kms at a time & have burnt down entire towns before the fire brigade can even reach that new front that did that. Number of people impacted & to experience a fire like that without previous serious fire experience, no, I don't think we can understand, but the fire itself, yeh, we certainly can! Mind blowing to think that stone buildings began doing what our flammable oil leaf trees do though & spontaneously exploding as the fire comes near, not to mention creating the firestorms, complete with lightning & their own wind & fire tornados (they didn't mention the fire creating the wind or tornados in the video, I guess cause they're not familiar enough with what fires like this cause so as to understand that would have been happening there too, but if it's doing the lightning, it's going to be doing at least the winds too)

Best of all they don't apologize for their history.... or inject their woke bullshit into it.

Americans don’t care about our own history. Most English people probably know more American history than the typical American.

Just think, instead of all the crap we have on our history channel we could be actually learning about history. Not aliens and pawn stars

@@glen6258 I know right

Indeed ! It's why it's spreading fast in all 4 directions

A miniseries will work best

Absolutely, and that wind scales with the fire.

Yes!!! Exactly! I have studied controlled fires, for Range Mgmt and the forest service…. And centripetal wind is a huge factor.

Yea look at Dresden in WW2

That’s literally the most fascinating thing I have ever read wow ✨

It’s called fire storm , Dresden comes to mind and Tokyo

Excellent, thx

Wow. That begs the question how contaminated the ground was afterwards. Hadn't even thought about everything toxic they made their houses out of.

Yup, and the physics of fire of that size removes the air that is breathable so people suffocate. Again see Dresden and during WWII.

. . . he said “What the f*ck! , just my f*cking luck! , no guesses for who gets the blame!

From an American, is this a thing?

😆

@@CreachterZ I wondered the same

He and his family may have escaped blame back then, but you can be certain that they didn't get over in God's judgment of their bearing false witness against Robert Hubert. They traded being spared temporary fire on earth for enduring the permanent fires of Hell.

They have a good one (or one of the history hit channels do) on the Montreal underground city that's also very good but a bit shorter, I highly recommend

Apparently there is extremely good records of how the fire spread including as to where is initially started from eye witness accounts. They had some pretty amazingly good records for a lot of events that you wouldn't think would have been possible for the time periods. For instance the border stones of Washington D.C. and many old mile stone markers are deadly accurate despite them not having a exacting way to measure out the miles or square miles of the District of Columbia back in the late 1700s and early 1800s.

@@EliTHink754the whole world was was colonised at some point, that’s just how it is. Even the English were colonised by the Normans romans vikings etc

Of course though - that point will be ignored it doesn't fit the narrative. ​@terimorris6394

It can't really happen like this anymore. There are not enough houses with exposed timber construction anymore. Most residential fires are extinguished before they can spread to other houses because of advanced fire fighting techniques. Only if we allow the regulations with regards to fire protection to slacken (like at grenfell tower) will we start seeing big fires again.

@@mfbfreak I agree, up to a point, there are many small traditional villages that have exposed wood construction and/or thatched roofs, there is one village like that in the area I grew up, the nearest fire brigade was (probably still is) a retained crew about 4 miles away from the village, and even with a very quick reaction time a old thatched roof would be a major blaze by the time they arrived, perhaps I did overstate my opinion and I hope I am wrong, it would be a true disaster for such a community that is for certain, and I hope we never see another disaster like Grenfell tower.

It DOES still happen today. I live in Northern California and . . Yeah, it happens. RE: Paradise, Ca

@@mfbfreak it might happen today, but only today. Allnew industrial and commercial builds are required to have sprinkler systems, soon fires will be a thing of the past. Theres a movement to require them in personal homes as well. With a proper sprinkler system a building literally cannot burn down

Wildfires? Canada, California, Amazon, Australia, etc?? Yes it does still happen

are you for real?

So many inanities.

A good firestorm (Dresden, WW2) will actually turn bricks into glass-like substance.

I watched Mt. Saint Helen's erupt from the back door of a bar, just across the hills. It frightened the shit out of me!

Similar to the "normalcy bias". Just the idea that our brains tend to doubt reality if it changes too suddenly, and we discount threats. There's a story of a Pan Am flight crashing into the ground, and the impact didn't kill the passengers. But the cabin caught fire, and while most people got up and started to flee to the exits, a few dozen people sat completely still in a trance, as if the flight was still carrying on normally and there was merely turbulence. Some of the entranced people were shaken into action by other passengers and got out, but a handful just sat still and burned to death.

@rhocat my parents drove us up in the hills to a viewpoint to watch! I was in 8th grade and half of my class was there with their parents. Ridiculous to drive closer even from the other side. Lol

I remember when that happened, I live near Mt. Rainier.

You have only to examine the rape of Berlin in WWII. to understand what is going on in the Russian occupied areas!

In the current landscape of public opinion on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, it is not uncommon for the parties stirring up chaos to engage in fake news dissemination. While NATO's reckless expansion remains the major root cause of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, NATO member states, as veterans of concocting and spreading disinformation, and some Western media have been stealthily doing their bit in employing the disinformation tactic and fanning flames of propaganda. Recently, reports went viral on social media platforms that a senior Ukrainian official, Lyudmila Denisova Ukrainian parliament's commissioner for human rights, was fired over several lies spread about sexual assaults against children allegedly by Russians without verified evidence and since proven false. It has sparked the latest round of concerns about the rampancy of disinformation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Don't believe anything you hear on social media....

The Rustarfs are just doing what their spiritual father, BLOODYMIR POOTIN 💩 allows. It cost Rubles to send back home Ukrainian goods! Sickening.

The original fairy tale was very much about fire.

But the brick and stone building *didn't* stand did they?

The earliest version takes place in Dartmoor with three pixies and a fox before its best known version appears in English Fairy Tales... and there were also African American & Italian versions. It isn't believed to have been inspired but the great fire.. but the moral of the story, being resourceful & outfitting the threat doesn't really seem to align with the tragedy of the fire either I don't believe. It would have been great if someone could have made the fire fall down a chimney into a pot to be eaten for dinner lol

There was no stone house

Unfortunately due to devices such as the 'Tablet' and other internet devices books will one day become obsolete.

@@RhysapGrug And what is heartbreaking is that people don't understand it's that even holding antiquarian books is an esoteric experience- much less the amount of knowledge that is lost when books are lost. For example: i have 17thc books that have been put on the internet. The physical books in my hand can be different than what is on the internet. The block print, the focus of reading, the hand- notations of the early owners', the re- bindings and materials used, all go into a bank of knowledge that does not translate into an experience when reading online. Obviously I make use of online materials, sources and books. However, one should never stop reading actual physical books. And I'm not sure people know that you can aquire old books for nota lot of money. I have cool books I sell for $50- $300 that are 150- 200 years old, leather bound, amazing books.

Those pesky “gold”smiths and bankers. Wasnt the edict of expulsion still in effect??

It's about being a part of the cycle of things, from what I've interviewed about. and, I don't agree; but, they just say it's where they belong. if it goes, they go S: almost like how I would see a "pet" or child; they personify it.... like it'd be abandoning it if they left
