And still Indonesia's media too focus on politics and entertainment, thank you bbc to worried us on our problem

And 500 years later BBC will proudly presents Jakarta the Ancient City Has Been Found In The Middle of Indian Ocean.

Its always the outsider Media who are more focused on the actual issues of a certain country than the media in that country

*Imagine if Jakarta was located in the Philippines , Typhoons everymonth would probably sink that City in no time*

"Rapid urbanization gone horribly, horribly wrong" New citizens of Jakarta : yamaap

It is actually very eye opening for me as I live in Jakarta and this place might only be as far as 5 to 6 miles from my neighborhood, the more horrifying is the fact that not many of us are aggressively informed about the problem. We know Jakarta is sitting below the sea level and that it is sinking a few centimetre every year, but nobody really brings the awareness and proofs that not only it's already happening, it happens fast. Our media is obsessed with politics, religions and how to combine them, when there's a literal place not far from our houses where a man can fish on the street. #smh

Trash everywhere* People : nah its fine Flood coming* People : wtf this government!

The problem isn't that it's sinking, the problem is that it's sinking with pollution

Indonesian media should show content like this ... not only about politics and news about the sensation of junk artists.

you know you are in trouble when a man is fishing on the streets.

6:14 the woman is hugging the wooden post like saying “I don’t wanna leave this place”.

Indonesian media just care a politician figure, artis and advertising etc. Most people like watching stupid sinetron.

People in 8019: Evidence that the lost city of jakarta existed

Jakarta now: Sinking Jakarta in the future: ATLANTIS FOUND IN SOUTH EAST ASIA?!

I don't feel safe even though I'm from another country.. because wherever you go.. we're still on Earth..

They built these huge walls to protect themselves and take refuge Sorry wrong Anime 😅

Jakarta: sinks The Netherlands: *laughs in below sea level*

Indonesia is a great country, but.. they are also great at ignoring their own problems...

Pray for your City (Jakarta) not to sinking love from your brother, Philippines 🇵🇭 🇮🇩

Hope that the Indonesian government could put some efforts in those areas. I have lots of Indonesian classmates and most of them are really nice to us Filipinos, compared to other South East Asian brothers. Keep safe and Godbless Indonesia! -🇵🇭

Atlantis : *Im the Best Mythical city in the Sea* Jakarta : hold my polluted drink

The most disturbing thing about this video is the amount of garbage in the water!

where are the forests, the trees that protects your country from sinking indonesia. wake up starts planting trees now

Insane? It's disgusting that people are forced to live like that. Their year round awful weather doesn't help much either.

2 possibilities 1. Jakarta becomes Atlantis. 2. Jakarta becomes Venice. Forget number 2, Jakarta will definitely be like Atlantis

Don't worry Jakarta, our Bangkok will sink with you. Edit: Welcome to the sinking cities club, Manilla and Ho Chi Minh. Let us sink together. 2eme edit: Please also welcome Venice, Italy and Miami, USA as our non-ASEAN associate members. Do tell your relatives and friends to start saving for higher lands.

The government and mayor of Jakarta should get scientist and engineers on board and try to find a good solution

2019: Jakarta 2050: Aquarta

Why live poorly in jakarta if you can live peaceful in a village

I will glad i don't have sea in Kuala Lumpur. May god blessing Jakarta INDONESIA . 🤲🏻

3:10 This looks like a scene from an apocalypic movie, with the music and the camera angle, hopefully jakarta doesn't go that way.

great, i learn my own country from outside media local media doesn't quite often talk about this issue this thorough

The biggest problem is that Indonesian put importance on land ownership. They didn't want to own a room, they want to own lands, which contribute to rapid wide expansion of urban core

so sad so many countries have converted this planet into a wasteland. We forgot that trees own this planet before humans arrived.

The only solution there is to relocate the inhabitants and dismantle all those abandoned buildings and shanties, clean the area and plant millions of trees.

Im so sad. Im Indonesian and don't even know this is happening at our Capital City. The local television unfrequent to expose such an eye opening report like this. But Thank Godness i am living in a rural peacefull village in Sumatra, yet feel so sorry about Jakarta.

This is why the BBC is such an important broadcaster- bringing awareness to issues like this

Jakarta: I'm sinking Indonesian government: waT ar u sinking about?

Let's say, Jokowi already took the best part contribute to overcome this issue by removing the capital to Borneo, yet many Indonesian people still strugling with unrelated reasons for retaining this incredible idea

*jakarta sinking* me living in jakarta : i see im going to become a legend like my brothers and sisters in atlantis many years ago.

"I just can't imagine that this place... has a future" :(

"Whole new meaning of sea front accommodation.." well said

The best quote , The speaker : I am looking a green space which bigger than football field! , and The people's : The flooding never stopping since two years ago.

When people realize that Jakarta is sinking New comers: *this is totally fine* People who throws trash at the streets: its the government's fault and we don't care Government: *Ah shit, here we go again*

Atlantis: "Yo dude, join in?" Jakarta: "Cool, coming in 2050" Edit: Holy shit, these guys has no chill, man.😂

This looks similar to manila. Since when i rode an airplane, we were landing. And from what i saw in yhe video, is similar to my city... Its just sad...

The governor, the ministers and the president have tried hard enough to deal with this problem. but some people who live in the suburbs of Jakarta refuse to be moved and prefer to defend their place for various reasons. one of them is because they has lived there since he was a child and is a house inherited from his parents. However, when it rains heavily, especially during the rainy season and early in the year, they blame the government for not being able to handle the floods that hit Jakarta. There was once a Jakarta governor who was good at dealing with flood problems and for several years during his tenure, Jakarta was not flooded. but the problem of misunderstanding made Jakarta choose the wrong leader. He had talked to the media if it was raining, let the water enter the ground, not be processed into the sea. I'm talking like this because I live in Indonesia and grew up in Jakarta. and so everyone knows how bad the city is right now

Don’t make fun of this in a comment section . This is a serious problem to our fellow country. Everything doesn't need to be a joke on the internet . Philippines 🇵🇭 will pray for your country.

Jakarta: Sinking Private companies : Build up heaviest and tallest buildings Jakarta's continent: am i joke to you? Edited: Jakarta's Island Too many genius people around here I'm out

They tried to say sea levels where rising, but sat data put payed to that.

Interesting how the majority roofs of Jakarta are coloured grey, while Manila with similar situation having combinations of red and grey.

Years ago BBC was known for documenting good things of this planet and now the ending of the good things, now it's time to retrieve, save this beautiful planet 🌍

Wth.. I'm indonesian and i've never seen this issue mentioned ONCE in the TV News I dont live at Java Island but this is just unbelievable

Sitting at safe distances , It's very easy to say that , they are irresponsible . But efforts are needed to be made by everyone whether it is a scientist , engineer , social worker , media person , businessman , politician or a common man .

Such nice kind hearted people.. (I feel so much for them.) 😪😪😪😪

"It looked apocalyptic." LMAO Couldn't describe it more accurately

Jakarta isn't sinking.. The government are actively planning to be the first underwater capital city in the world.

Manila is not sinking, government doing urban planning, development and also in sewerage. Philippines transfered all mega cities outside metro manila like Clark City. There's a new airport, subway train, terminal buses, housing projects, business hub and a new business district uprising. 🇵🇭

Jakarta is a great city..I hope everything will be contained before it is too late..from your Filipino brothers..

Don't worry people of jakarta...soon ya'll become atlantian...

"Jakarta is sinking." Government: I'm watching KZfaq right now, I didn't hear anything.

This is so heartbreaking .. Many people from outside the region come to Jakarta to seek profit .. But now you can see the consequences for yourself ...

So sad to see their situation and suffering. I believe that our cities will encounter the similar problem in the future.

When you spill the bucket of water in Minecraft and the whole city floods.

1000 years from now History: Could their be an ancient civilisation

it’s always sad to see what known as a beautiful country and its capital city is in potential of sinking. I believe up until today there is no serious act by the local government or central government to fix this issue and it irritates me like a lot

as an outsider, we was always shown the beauty of the Sudirman Thamrin and SCBD area...

Jakarta : *Exist People lives outside of jakarta : it's free real estate Jakarta : *Start sinking People lives outside of jakarta : *It's STILL free real estate*

Atlantis: Man I'm so lonely Jakarta: Don't worry mate I'll be your friend

Once again.. the youtube algoritm brought us here

only this time I didn't see anyone commenting "hi im from indonesia" 🤨

I pray for Jakarta Indonesia! From your brother in the Philippines

That why we should plant more trees pls even on my contry Philippines.

👍

What so sad about this, most people in Jakarta doesn't know their city is sinking.

Bersyukur kita yang masih tinggal di pedesaan..nyaman,damai, bebas polusi. Pokokknya tentram alhamdulillah.

Malaysia also faced a kind of similar situation, but instead of the ground 'sinking', the huge water stream from deforested highlands can quickly sinks the city like Kuala Lumpur.

Thanks for sharing my city. It was terrible problem. I hope the goverment see this video

Jakarta? Somebody say to me Aquakarta🤕😢

As a new comer of Jakarta, this video makes me sadder :(

By 2050 every home will be having a boat for transportation rather than a car.

They should grow mangroves. It wouldn't fix their situation, but it'd dampen it's effects

That's literally 'tanah air', or water land... Actually tanah air means homeland.

Thank you for bringing this to people's attention.

Now i know they never show the northern jakarta by drone and street view,, the media always shows central to southern part of jakarta that actually modern cities with bunch of modern skyline and large pedestrian roads with bunch of trees and its very clean, i mean just going to the northern part its completely 180° different 😶😔

I'm malaysia and this broke my heart. This is so sad. Jakarta is a beautiful and modern city. I really hope their government do something abt this and not just left this city hanging.

Hundred years from now, it's going to be called "The lost city of Jakarta"

Our 3 hectares of land we planted alot of tree like 2k assorted trees.. Like coconuts, mangoes and etc😊🌲🌴.. From Philippines 🇵🇭

watching this makes me wanna do some changes to my country like by making this viral on social media platforms because many of us indonesians have no idea about this situation and it's just making me mad 😭

I like how casual the conversation was, just like they're talking in the same language

I still remember back then it was around 2005, i read a newspaper and they have mentioned about the possibility of Jakarta sinking in 2050 and its been 14 years now and i haven't seen any efforts to prevent or slow down the process. Once the former governor had plan to build a giant sea wall to minimize the effect of Rob flood that happens every goddamn year and see what happened to the plan? Some people ruined it. There won't be any change soon if the people are still get carried away by hoaxes and get irritated easily without obvious reasons.

They should plant mangarove trees along the shore by removing people closeby somewhere else, iguess. Before its too late.

The Netherlands: now this looks like a job for me

Thankyou BBC to show the reality abaout Jakarta, hope many people understanding this problem

3:11 holy moly, this looks like from a movie but instead of CGI, it's 100% real world scenery

Good they are making a new Capital on Borneo.

May Allah protect them.
