It seems Cairo needs a few Wall-Es. Even if only to compact the sorted trash into manageable sizes.
Oh, I remember Wall-E! 😊
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.
Thanks for the additional info. It's nice to know when they aren't completely accurate.
WOW IM BORN IN ANCHORAGE I LOVE ALASKA
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?
@@MegCazalet yes it is, but it's beautiful
I'm in Wasilla.
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!

Your character is soo cuto
thats factuall
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.
There are towns in America of 20,000+ people with less to do than that, so don't feel too bad! It sounds nice.
@@Twisttheawesome It does sound nice!
Justice for sealand
I’m sorry but Sealand has been invaded by Uganda
No!
Yes I agree justice for sealand
sea land is a contry
Recognise Sealand!
I can see possibilities for "Sealand" - they could do hydroponic gardening, keep chickens...It could be a lot nicer than it is!😃
That's the flag of Kenya, an African country
Except for the winter storms...
@@HamburguesaDeQueso it's vaguely like it. Kenya only has 3 big and 2 thin lines with a - I believe - Masai shield and spear on it. 🇰🇪
@@HamburguesaDeQueso It's the flag of Uganda 🇺🇬 lol
@@HamburguesaDeQueso you could have easily googled that first. That's not the Kenyan flag , not even close to it. It's the Ugandan flag
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.
Others have said it's the flag of Kenya!
I noticed and was extremely confused
@@cattymajivthey are wrong this is 🇰🇪
This is Uganda 🇺🇬
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 😂😂
Love this darn channel!!!! I'm amazed at how he comes up with such great content each and every day.😊
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
Be amazed uploads so many videos that are educational as well as entertaining. This channel is awesome for my kids.
Yeah l agree, my siblings love it
Except for the mistakes he makes, like using the flag of Uganda for Sealand
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.
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.)
@@cattymajiv I do see the point of your reply and I do agree
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...
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.
Humans: anywhere we go? we live there.
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!
Thank you very much for this extraordinary collection. It is fascinating. Ruth xx
I love watching your videos every day its so interesting and entertaining and i cant wait to see more
Just realized as you talked about flight risk and showed a diagram of a helicopter you had a Kobe gif in the bottom corner eerie coincidence
These are the best videos to listen to when I'm doing mundane things around the house. Thank you.
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!
Just 10 degrees Farenheit (-12 C) in the winter? As someone that often had to go to school in -20 C, this sounds pretty ridiculous.
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
Love your video Be Amazed and keep up the great work
i believe as an australian coober pedy is pronounced “coober peedy” someone correct me if i’m wrong though
You are right though. And I remember how it is pronounced only from watching Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
Yes, you're correct. It's a town in outback New South Wales that's extremely hot. The main reason for living underground
As a fellow Australian i concur. “Cooper Peedy “ is correct.
Coober pee-dy LOL
As a fellow Aussie I agree
I gotta give a shout out to Be Amazed, it makes my day watching these educational videos.
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!
2:00 Trailblazer: "Could they be one of my people?"
Coober Pedy sounds like the best place to live during the apocalypse
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.
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.
Always worth to wait videos with your voice!!!
dude you always give me a laugh🤣...im always "being amazed"
How could anyone hurt a puffin?! Just look at them!
Well just setting in to Binge on some BeAmazed and this came in at the right time
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!
Seward Highway - "SUE-WARD" is how to say it :) I'm from Kenai, Alaska! Love your videos - they always get me through the day!!
I literally love your videos
23:00 LOL THAT HIT ME LIKE A CAR 28:09 havent you made a video on this place before?
Love this!!!
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.
I learn so much from your videos
Sealand makes the symphony of the seas a floating country
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?
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❤
7:20 "can reach temperatures up to 113 F" *me seeing this in Arizona* "I wish that was it"
be amazed never stops amazing us lol
Epic video as always 😍
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.
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.
"and a bottle." OH HELL NAW THAT'S YOUR TOILET?!
This was one of my favorite videos!
The flag used for the Principality of Sealand shown is actually the flag of Uganda, an african country.
Yeah I got confused
'21:15' 😅 Getting a nosebleed just looking at it 😂😂😂😂😂
your videos are awesome i watch them eather on my tablet or on my dads computer 😃😃😃 you never fail to amaze me
I lived in anchorage and Whittier is amazing they have lots of cafes camping and convenience stores. We traveled there a few times when it was 10 F which is nothing btw we have been in -28 F for hours at a time mostly for an amazing ice sculpture showing I went on this amazing ice slide it was awesome I went faster than any other slide ever. Anyway the drive isn’t that bad and they don’t all live in one building although most do but the sights are amazing! Also Seward isn’t pronounced sea-ward it’s sew-ard say it right please. Last thing Whittier is awesome and the drive through the tunnel is surreal your in there for around 20-30 minutes and when you get out the lil town is awesome if you go try their cafes they are amazing!
Alaska has the best weather it's not 100 degrees FAHRENHEIT in summer where I live://
Great video!
10:19 Me: brings all my electronics and my phone which has unlimited data and connect all my stuff to it
AnotherBe amazed vid thats amazing❤
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
Didn't mention before it became sealand that platform was also home to a pirate radio station that played rock music that the uk government banned (i think there's a movie about that)
Home is where your heart is.
In Whittier Alaska, they can't move into the Buckner Building, as the whole place is full of asbestos. The clean up at this point has reached $10 mil. If they could get it cleaned up, then more liveable space could be there. The Mayor is trying to figure out how to accomplish this. The railroad owns all the land there, thus the reason people can't build thier own homes. There are a couple other places to live besides the high rise, another apartment place. It's a beautiful place though and in the good weather months, the population rises, as people have bought into the high rise for summer places. There's a lot to do there as well. I've done a lot of research on this place, I would love to live there, or at least visit!
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.
0:19 what do use the bottle for
When I was growing up, for eight years I lived across the street from an acre of grass. Basically, it was a green area. So I well know how big an acre is
The second word of Coober Pedy rhymes with needy, not with ready.
This strangest countrys are so amazing and unique a
Who could kill a Puffin? Not me. They're so adorable. ❤
The temple hanging off the mountain is like Yemeni houses.
Can't help but wonder if that temple was one of the inspirations for Skyrim. I mean, you've got the eight/ten thousand steps leading up to a temple on a high mountaintop that's sacred to the monks that live there, sounds pretty close to me
Some of those places are incredible
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.
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.
Maybe in part two you could feature the solom islands
Bro I literally have my own country called the archduchy of Seereich that is a bit smaller than sealand 😂
Sick bro or president
If Sealand is "terra nullis", it can become indeed independent if it is inhabited by new people.
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.
Can you do a video about weirdest phobias
That singular square house in the middle of nowhere is my house in every survival crafting game ever.
Would love to visit Sea Land.
I'd always thought "Valkenvania" (from Nothing But Trouble) seemed a little familiar when they started talking about Centralia a lot....
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.
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
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.
Thinking a couple of these inspired a couple of fictional places, the one with the constantly burning coal just smacks of Silent Hill and that last one just looks like the Western Air Temple from Avatar: the Last Airbender.
I am always astounded by the beauty and craftsmanship that went into buildings before there were power tools and any other modern ways of building. Modern building has nothing to do with craftsmanship or pride of creating something that will last for centuries. Modern building is get a box shape. Put the ugliest shape and colour you can imagine. Don't cover the concrete, the cement block walls, or any ducts that are necessary for the running of the utilities. They then class these as modern architectural bland boxes as extremely interesting pieces of engineering. Sadly our children and grandchildren won't see the interesting and beauty of historical buildings that we can now. Some of the living conditions in this video are really heart wrenching. How can somewhere as Modern as Tokyo claim that the people who are living on top of each other, literally, are housed .? It's a very interesting way to see how some people live.
Ah, Centralia. The inspiration, at least partially, for Silent Hill.
I have been to Whitteir and it is truely strange.
Am from Kenya and to add to the Migingo island information is that the island is Kenyan but the surrounding waters are Uganda's
8:19 lonely island
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
Strangest thing brings a lot of thing for people to discover
A town in Sweden, Kiruna had to be moved becouse off tunuls under the gruond that were colapsing. Like houses and everything.
5:27 shows flag of Uganda SeaLand flag has red & black triangles separated by diagonal white stripe
Yeah looks slightly like the flag of Trinidad and Tabago
I once was in a hotel in Barueri, São Paulo (brazil, the country i live in), and the light went out because of a strong wind, so because my family chose high floors, i had to go up 22 floors in the stairs
underground cities actually make more sense as our technology improves, our population grows and the climate worsens. Imagine all of that space used by cities becoming forested parks, Cement absorbs heat, we are basically helping heat the planet by having any cement showing above ground. It also means more area for field crops or mostly natural environments and that is without getting into moving away from field farming when possible since it is much less efficient then robotic greenhouses and gathering our methane output for electrical production, carbon dioxide for carbon capture or that it would be easier to temperature control since there would be less surface area in contact with the environment.
Who wants to bet that in the time of emergency Sealand will undoubtedly call the UK coastguard. Also, Centralia PA is no longer a municipality, even the US Postal Service has removed its ZIP code.
Very entertaining video however, the use of Kobe Bryant’s gif at 27:10 followed by the display of the helicopter when explaining the flight risk caused by the manholes air movement was NOT COOL. My family and I were actually shocked by the choice… 😔
Elliðaey It's pronounced Ellitha-"a" and not Elliðaey island either because that would translate to Elliða island island as "Ey" already means island. Also, it's "Björk" not "Bjork." 8:36
