[sircyrelle]

[williamwilbur]

How can you upload the video before this happened?

[aro004]

@williamwilbur, relative to YouTube's local time, we in Australia, live in the future.

[aro004]

@SuperFakaMaka that song was something I made up - no name ;)

[almedinbubic]

This guy can travel through time or what?

Description says this was on September 23rd and he uploaded it on September 22nd o_O?

[TheCPOlympics]

@almedinbubic Probably uploaded September 23rd but youtube some how mixed it up to September 22nd.

[sean1234hi]

Haha everyone is saying they where scared when they woke up to this but i was just like wtf but i wasnt scared at all.

[XSmexyLamaX]

i was so scared when i woke up that worning and saw it through the window

[FiloKun]

Looks like l4d2



[comoz1]

[jondavidgriffin]

well made

[madrigal212]

its like god went on his little computer and didnt like the color of the earth then changed it orange :/

[jayok99]

i woke up thinking there was a bushfire on my doorstep

[HUYNTORTO]

haaa one of the kids at my school had thought that we were extreemly close to mars

[OfaLicious2010]

I remember washing our car after the storm!

bahahaha!

[angelamaree1]

i remember this i thought i was the end of the world

[Alisiaxmourlas]

oh my gosh i remember this

[Heemsky]

lol when i woke up i remember it like it was yesterday...i just walked outside and then i looked and i was like "wow..i must be dreaming."

[MichaelJacksonFan000]

They're predicting it's coming again sometimes at the end of this year or this month. O.O

[Khaozka]

It... is... awesome! It's really seems like a world end.

[M3GASIMS]

ZOMG I REMEMBER THIS DAY..it was a wednesday morning and wen i woke up i started jolting up and down the stairs saying JESUS IS COMING, JESUS IS COMING ITS TOO LATE!! xD

[warpaws86]

wow i'm not sure i want to move to australia now

[D1CROM1]

LOL when this happened i honestly thought we got nuked

[MyCityOfSYDNEY]

Whoa!

[DIMATIF]

Happened again today like in 6am bur didn't last that long

[seriousnews2]

That was from Olympic Dam, the uranium mine, as the co's like BHP don't get rid of the tailings from their unnecessary mine... Nuke power is not needed, wind and solar are better. Unless you put strong regulations on BHP etc, you are dead Australia.

[cippo25]

@seriousnews2 australia never dies brahhhh

[cippo25]

@seriousnews2

[VMANX24]

Man I remember waking up, I see a red tinge shining through the gap in my curtains not taking knowledge then going wait WTF and got up and opened the curtains to see all the dust, was amazing.

[clashdo]

ahhh that was such an epic day =)

[mjnzac]

I remember this I woke up and thought the windows were tinted a yellow/red colour.

[squallboy25]

Oh my gosh, I remember waking up to that day thinking that the world had ended.

[golllywoggyman]

New Y'ark will taste even better than this stupid kangaroo infested land. brown snakes and taipans anyone?

[TALICALI06]

WOW how long does that last?

[halfmumi]

And the shot areas are mostly inside the olympic park :} 5 stars.

[tdose3463]

[MrJiffyPOPPOP]

[golllywoggyman]

[Ilovemusic617]

[SuperTamponBandit]

@Ilovemusic617 hes retarted dude like actaully mentall retarted lol

[jtpfreak]

Cool vision. You woke up before me. My vision wasn't so red as i slept in that day. lol

[DopeteK]

This is fucked up shit. It is scalar technology! "THEY" are hiding what "THEY" are doing from you! Wake up and research. For a start you could find the youtube videos called NEW Delbert Blaire Underground Radio.

[verticalsmurf]

This is what happens when trees are felled without the thought of consequence.

Farmers say they need to remove the trees to make way for pastures or crops, but when the trees are removed, the top-soil becomes unstable, and it either falls into and blocks waterways, or it blows away in the wind. Trees hold the soil together, and protect the plants growing beneath from extreme heat.

European farming methods don't work here.

[DopeteK]

Idiot....

[verticalsmurf]

Dude, take your meds and breathe! The "THEY" you speak of are in your head.

[DopeteK]

None as deaf that will not hear.

[verticalsmurf]

That comment is incredibly obscure.

[SkylerTheSkyMan]

[MyCityOfSYDNEY]

@tOKe1uP

lame.

[xtinakaulitz]

very nice video ^^

[Spade0007]

when you lose your hands then --and only then you see its value --you speak of now listening to the wisdom of the ancient Ones --the ones who have been on the land forever --the same ones you have kill --rape and abuse --even to this day --and why --to please your self --for your own greediness -you -better than others --they are low and you are high--what sick thoughts--now you have to answer to the Earth --The Sun --The Universe --soon the animals will turn on you -that time is Now --Heka-

[Boudiicca]

look...you are right! My ancestors came to Australia from Germany and Ireland and took land for free that didn't belong to them...for them I am sorry. White Australians have lived off the backs of our Indigenous population since colonisation...and yes this is very important for us to remember. Although...there must come a time when we admit our mistakes and strive to repair the damage done...the future isn't set in stone...we create it...lets just hope we create something good.

[mdiiee]

Looks like iraq

[POPxD123]

I remember half the school was away on that day.

[alliszzz]

omg same here....... do u go to st pius x college??

[Spade0007]

The Invaders on the land of Australia. --treat The original people there like shit - so I say More fire for their greedy asses--Heka -

[Boudiicca]

yes, our history is not good...yet I can see a new chapter in Australian history starting to unfold...one of reconciliation...one where we all walk together. Dust storms like this remind all Australians what a harsh continent we inhabit and reminds all white Australians to listen to the wisdom of those whose who have lived here forever...if anything, I believe its helping create a bond between us...

[Spade0007]

Taking responsibility for your actions is a start --even if its for your Ancestors--they and you are one in the same--for too long ----The People with The ---how should I put this ---pale skin --have gone all over this planet and abuse the people of Darker skin --so now the universe --the earth is fight because you are too powerfull and the people you abuse are weak--this is it hell on earth --right now --Karma- what you sow --you reap--its sad that now you face fire you want to walk together .

[Boudiicca]

It aint my karma thank you very much. I've been one with this land since I can remember and have a deep respect for and connection with Australian Indigenous peoples, and their beliefs, cultures and customs....in fact its my job to teach this to primary school children. My children are Bundjalung and my family history is also quite interesting...although most of it is lost. I'm not going to argue that we have a great history though-our history is shameful, but there is always a way forwards..

[Spade0007]

don't mind me -- don't give it a second thought -be as hopefull as you want --embrace your path --Heka Amen Ra

[Boudiicca]

thank you...hope is the only way forward :)

[vfromthaburg]

that's exactly how it looked in my dreams...

[TheYalingchang]

Hi, I'm from Canada , wow Is like the end of the world ,how is the weather now?Maybe is the one of the sign of Pole shift . cam imagine if those day come

[yourmovieworld]

australia still red dust storm now?

[KraMdot]

beauty.

[qyasser]

wats the name of the song ??

[thatsjustgrape]

ok, heres THE TRUTH - Broken Hills dust blew across to sydney on september 23rd, and all of sydney look like this between about 4am till dawn. simple as that...

[bootymanager]

This some bullshit right here. That all some special FX and shit.

[SaveOurPlanetBeVegan]

be vegan to stop climate change!

[Kingkong922]

That was an awesome day.

[xxFabbyFabulousxx]

i would have loved to be in that storm, to be honest. but for asthmatic people it must have been their worst nightmare.

[maiwandwal]

fabby

ur brain dead thats ur problem yep it looked red coz of the soil hahahahaha

how do u explain why IT WAS GLOWING

[xxFabbyFabulousxx]

oh, yes. i'm brain dead and you're what... smarter than me? i can't even stop laughing at what you wrote in your profile. i seriously think you should be a comedian. I'm not kidding, by the way.

[maiwandwal]

fabby

i just saw that ur only 14 - oh bless - so i take back my comment back

[xxFabbyFabulousxx]

Hahaha! :'D

Amen, lol.

[maiwandwal]

I heard this was RADIOACTIVE. Hence the RED GLOW

all across Europ they were told its radioactive..... what the hell r they experimenting on ppl

[gribae]

Bullshit. The red is due to the soil and surface texture of the desert where the dust and sand was blown in from.

[maiwandwal]

UR AN IDIOT. thats what the NEWS said across Europe/UK - i should know!

to hell with u - IF u want to keep ur delusions - go ahead.

[Xaeryx]

The Australian desert is red. It's as simple as that.

[xxFabbyFabulousxx]

jeez, calm down :s

[xxFabbyFabulousxx]

it was a dust storm. it looked red because some of the soil there is red-ish. or at least, that's what i read.

[circusgal44]

yea u are right we had an intense low cross the centre of australia- which is mainly desert- the deserts out west are red dirt, and cos the strong winds from the low blew up all the loose top soil and it caused a massive dust storm on the coast. itll probably be a once in the life time event.

[kasihku1001]

wow .. it looks like this country are on the top surface of the fire, very scary situation.

[shivona44]

\all dust was cumen in mahh eyes. I was at skewl and guess what no1 was aloud out of our classrooms wierd huhh???????????????? anyways i hated it 1 of my friends thought it was the end of the owrld lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

[Dusty059]

Really cool video ! ! ! I live in Fort Worth, Texas, United States !

[MRINSTRUCTIONBOOK]

I can't believe i slept through this, Lol. I wish i should have filmed stuff of it.

[kyosinmyheart]

i was NSW when it came, all the adults were getting us back to our campsite urgently. but it was nothing!!! haha

[wakubila]

火山灰和沙塵暴能幫助地球降溫。

[aROKej]

I made holydays in sydney and left sydney 2 weeks ago. bad luck, i missed this beautiful wonder.

[gribae]

It was not all that great, only in the morning was the dust in the air. The rest of the day, it was on the ground.

[musicalaviator]

I missed it by less than 12 hours :P

Caught a flight to Melbourne the evening before!

[AangKatara4eva]

i did not get to go to school xD

[zzzeeerrrooo000000]

where are the sand worms?

[gribae]

What sand worms?

[zzzeeerrrooo000000]

beetlejuice one!

[tubastardo]

apocalipse

[leon6266]

how come I didnt get text warning piror this happened and can I claim this on my tax return?

[Ccristiandorin]

I think it's dangerous to breathe in that kind of air isn't it?It looks so weird

[an1sh]

its just dust, doesn't really affect your breathing unless you have severe asthma or breathing problems

[kibinski]

This is an example that the whites destroy the Australian environment through their European life style. This is a result of the European imperialism.

They, white people the invaders, should go away from that continent.

[MicroMachiner]

You're a f u k in' idiot.

[QwiiKScopE]

You twat,if you ve been to oz you would know that there is NO european lifestyle where this dust came from, and its called the desert and guess what?...its reley big......idiot.....

[kibinski]

agriculture.idiot.

[circusgal44]

um for ur information there is limited agriculture in northern territory and SA cos of the desert conditions. they run like 1 steer every acre or so. so learn ur facts.

[kibinski]

Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed

[kibinski]

by Jared Mason Diamond

[circusgal44]

but cant u just hack it that this was not caused by agriculture.. it was the fact that maybe australia is mainly desert and that a once in the life time event that a low weather system crossed australias centre.. and yea...

[kibinski]

what do you say?

[circusgal44]

wat i say caused this was that the low came across the centre of australia that mainly is desert. where on the east coast most of the lows come up the low from antarctica...

one thing learn geography

[kibinski]

Did you read the book?

[circusgal44]

y would i go buy a book?

the cause is quite simple.. a LOW weather system-one that causes rain and winds- CROSSED the centre of australia. the winds were strong enough to pick up the red top soil and carry it all the way to the coast. that is wat caused it not stupid agriculture. and if u want to no most of australia is DESERT. do u no wat a desert is?

if not read about it.

[kibinski]

I am not your teacher. I have no time to teach to jingoists.

[circusgal44]

im glad ur not cos u dont no anything.. ud be just like one of mi old teachers....

[bronson4216]

So your point is ? Ill take a stab at it if there is no farmers or any type of land degradation then this would not have happened iam sorry but ill disagree ITS natural whens theres no rain for a while and you have strong winds top layer drys out and drifts sorry for long explanation but as you say your a teacher i just thought you might think again . ???

[kibinski]

some comments were deleted. i dont know why. I pointed out the source already.

It's not my business if you read it.

[bronson4216]

Ok now your just a dumb shit what the fuck has a book or any book got to do with it its the first time this has happend in Sydney so how the hell will abook tell whats going on when it just happened and iuf you had half a brain you would look for the videos that day about the weather just farking do it THEN REPLY TWIT you making your self look like a dick as well you in TOKYO for fark sake

[kibinski]

Exactly, the biggest problem in the Australian environment is the existence of jingoists.

[bronson4216]

ps just looked up meaning of jingoists fuck your a drop kick its doesn't make sense but i bet it does to you since your in Tokyo heres the meaning Extreme nationalism characterized especially by a belligerent foreign policy; chauvinistic patriotism. and you say your a teacher what did you teach bull shit truth hurts bitch you got owned

[QwiiKScopE]

holy shit i have never seen this video or commented on it yet for sum reason my names here and im getting replied to wtf :P

[TwilightMuseLover]

i dont understand this statement, the whites didnt destroy the environment with their european lifestyle lol, it was form the desert.

[anderaina]

i think the music is great, what's the title?

[anderaina]

it really looks like Sci-fic life in mars

[jbonethug99]

im no scientist, but i have heard from a couple sources that claim this is from a comet, a non periodical comet, and this is very rare. the chinese call it the "dragon tail of death" and also known as the "blood of god"! scary stuff if u ask me. ive never seen anything like it, and the strange thing is that it gets no coverege in the usa. they arent mentioning nothing here about it. good luck to u all, there aint much time for this world, the sheep need to wake up!!

[itsmejack123]

um no not really, i live in sydney and this was just dust from the outback being blown into the east by really strong winds and thunderstorms, besides, you'd think us australians would have noticed if a comet hit us

[an1sh]

dude...

its just wind blowing the dust from outback into the city

[InnuendoXP]

it was dust from central australia. we're fine, lol

[perquy1243]

wow it must have been awesome i mean like u didnt have 2 go skool or anythin did u ?

[nastroarab]
