  • enggak bisa ngomong2 apa2 :X

  • krakatoa erupted on my birthday

    happy august 27th

  • Where can I find This whole movie?

  • Krakatau nothing than Tambora, and Tambora nothing than Toba, OMG.

  • my dad hear that , he live at sumatra

  • The Super Volcano in this world is "Lake Toba" !

  • British Accent ?? what the hell?? Indonesia still in Dutch Colonial when Krakatoa Erupts.

  • i'm from indonesian

  • Another sad vidoe.why am i torturing myself...

  • this location is in the middle of java and sumatra. there's a small island which only volcano in the island n its still an active volcano until now.

  • @ladygagaspenis I hope everybody feel save as like you...

  • @ladygagaspenis I hope so....

    wait a momment, what about San Andreas Fault..? And what your opinion about YellowStone's SuperVolcane...

    Our great beautiful world was the cruel magnificent world...

  • If this happened again they'd be looking back on the tsunami and Haiti as the good ol'' days........ It would erase cities off the map...... and it will happen again Krakatoa isn't dead..just resting.

  • @ladygagaspenis i hope your country got the eruption u idiot..

  • Something unnatural is happening here, but then again...free fish. Options, options.

  • @agneumeyer Oh its quite natural, my friend.

  • I survived that day by holding the door, like in 6:59. FEEL LIKE A NINJA!!

  • @gabrielgv then u must be how many year old  That eruption was somewhere in the 1880s.

  • bos ceritanya kok di singkat ya, di potong 30 menit ya, seharusnya ada cerita sebelum bencana itu terjadi

  • efek air laut surutnya mantab..

  • When I was 5 I thought the tsunami was something like deep impact.

  • flash

  • ice

    

  • it is worth noting that, as this film clearly depicts, the natural light in these times was brownish / sepia

  • wuihhhh.... baru tahu ada film krakatau nih,,, saia merinding nontonnya.... *download ahhhhh.... *incar free download, heheh

  • vaiam po caralho isto é uma merda.

  • sang pencerah tsunami

  • Scientists estimated the explosion's sound to be around 180 decibels, which is a great enough force to instantly kill all hearing tissue within a human ear.

    For comparison, 180dB is about 13x as loud as a jet engine from 100 ft, or as loud as a rifle shot at point blank range. People 2,200 miles away in Perth, Australia could clearly hear the eruption immediately after the explosion.

    where is this in the clip?

  • @bahrainTVchannel - It's not anywhere in this clip because this clip is about the tsunami - you're on the wrong video! :o)

  • @MelodyOfVision Aha yes your correct :)

  • @bahrainTVchannel

    Immediately after? So sound travels in an instant now?

  • @Razkull is Immediately = instant? they saw the explosion..watch?v=3mB-q52hVLI

  • @bahrainTVchannel Actuallly... yes.

    im·me·di·ate·ly

    adverb /iˈmēdē-itlē/ At once; instantly - I called immediately for an ambulance Without any intervening time or space - she was sitting immediately behind me

  • @Razkull you are corect ok did you see the vid? watch?v=3mB-q52hVLI ? they saw the explosion so immediately the shockwave should arrive to them? what i mean is the shockwave delayed

  • @bahrainTVchannel I would believe it, it ripped itself apart.

  • @bahrainTVchannel The explosion would not have been immediately heard in Perth. It would have taken the sound quite some considerable time to reach there. Sound doesn't travel that fast.

  • @bahrainTVchannel hey man, in video, it's the first explosion and the tsunami. the explosion that ou says, it's the last explosion

  • How tragic :(

  • Haha guy stole a basket at 7:04

  • i'm an indonesian, and i just knew about this movie, omg i couldn't imagine if i live at that time :'(

  • @RahmaAFauziah i think you might be dead already. damn powerful....

  • the tsunami is mortal it happened in japan!!!!!!!!!!

  • the old lady dying makes me cry D':

  • Not trying to be mean, but how stupid are those kids??? The adults are running away from the wave, the kids are running towards the wave. And that kid was just standing there while the wave was washing towards them....stupid...

  • @avpkid345 it's a film. and they're KIDS.

  • @avpkid345 I know what u mean, but don't forget this was during the earlier times in the 1800's i believe so they have no idea what's happening they have no experiences in Tsunamis' so the kids are curious they don't take it as threats. I think u know what I mean

  • @mimato damn true! there was no awareness during those times. you can judge them by comparing it to these time. there is differences after all. there is no school in those villages to begin with. to me its wrong to call them stupid. they just dont know.

  • @ganaz30 you're right about that

  • @ganaz30 In the US it used to be that you didn't know a hurricane was coming until it struck. What can you expect? Without TV you see very little of the world. Can you imagine seeing a tornado for the first time not knowing it is dangerous?

  • @avpkid345 the kids don't now it was going to be a tsunami they saw lots of fish scattered around so they just go for it!

  • I find this movie so so sad yet so amusing! I mean i think its funny the way ppl are like goin up to the wave instead of running and when they see the tsunami in the village they dont move! (eg the boy at 6:18 is like OOH A BIG WAVE I WANNA WATCH IT I WANT TO DIE) Im not trying to be offense in anyway im just saying! XD :'(

  • Why don't the BBC make any more interesting history videos these days?

  • @RobotsGreatWar2 BBC, much as I don't like them, do vastly superior docus than History Channel. If there were as many BBCs on YT....

  • Isn't Krakatoa WEST of Java?

  • @Kelly14UK - Yes, Krakatoa is west of Java. The movie, "Krakatoa: East of Java" (1969) had it wrong.

  • @MelodyOfVision so is this movie correct, did the volcano actually create a tsunami and everything??

  • @beaverfeaver12 - This movie is based on diaries of people who went through it. When the volcano became active and destroyed itself, it displaced a lot of water and thus created all those huge tsunami (and all that ash, and all the pyroclastic flows/surges, etc.).

  • just one thing to do when you don't see the water on the shore:RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN TO THE MOUNTAINS D:!

  • the actor in this movie in british accent, indonesian 1883 in Dutch Colonial...this is bulshit..

  • @kanazef It was a british documentry made for the british people watching in britain...of course he has a british accent, it would be no good in dutch!

  • im thinking of going to krakatoa if it mega erupting like this again....cuz i wanna experiment what "hell" is like......LOLZ!

  • @ultimaterunescape90 your a fucking idiot, get a life loser.

  • @ 4:27 crazy woman......

  • hi all. im indonesian(for real!) and i love krakatoa(krakatau)i thinking of going there to just "experiment" the heat and death LOLZ

  • i guess i can understand the Dutch dude not understanding what a tsunami is or its effects. i don't understand why the Indonesians -- who must have some historical knowledge -- didn't know either and ended up drowning as well.

  • what dus he say at 1:03

  • the eruption was heard for 3,100 miles!

  • 75% volcano in the world are in Indonesia.

  • 75% volcano in the world are in Indonesia.

  • the Indonesian people should speak Sundanese! Coz' of all that has happened in Tatar Sunda..(West Java)

  • poor mak ijak so sadddd

  • serem ...

  • Please, That volcano didn't erupt Chuck Norris wiped out everyone psht!!!!

  • @StraightEdgeReviews he actually jumped in the lava. Look closely at the scene during the eruption.

  • apaan tuh, ada bahasa melayu nya...bkn bahasa jawa/indonesia :hammer:

  • I'm an Indonesier, but I don't know about this film at all.. where can I get this film??Could anyone tell me..

  • @bogorbombastis - Hi there, the DVD is, as far as I know, only in Region 2 (Indonesia is Region 3, but there are ways of getting around that) and I got mine at the UK Amazon site - I provided the link at the bottom of the description box. Other people have also reported finding it on Ebay. Hope you will be able to get it!

  • @MelodyOfVision I thank you a lot, pal..

  • @bogorbombastis I saw this on Discovery Channel. I live in Canada......

  • have you guys noticed that in all of these tsunami videos a couple people are just out there in the ocean. As if they expect nothing to happen at all. I know lot of you are gonna say that at that time nobody knew but just look at all of these 04 tsunami vids. i mean cmon why would these people just sit out there.

  • Pray for Indonesia...

  • pray for indonesia

    please.

  • @dickzroonz YA INDONESIA GW DOA'IN, OK...

  • @zeus13th oc kta kan sama sama orang indonesia jadi ...

    smile for life

  • @dickzroonz ok bro... Indonesia for life, skrg ni merapi ya parah. Tapi kalo dibanding ama karakatau ma ga ada apa2nya ya merapi.

  • Un Cool.......because if it's erupt...from Indonesia to Europe will hear and there will be...bad things!

  • cooooooooooooollllllllllllllll­lllllllllllllll

  • Silly.

  • hayo hayo anak anaku cepat kemari/ c'mon kids come here!

  • ..Hi fellas, I also comes from Indonesia..this film is real good I think, since it gives me a portrayal of the situation at that time...especially after recent disasters happened in Indonesia. Just one question for @shintagaluh, are you really sure the natives in Krakatau Island are from Nusa Tenggara? It is true that the natives are not Javanese..But as far as I know, this island has their own tribes but most probably look like malay people. But for eastern people? I don't think so.

  • well I'm from indonesia and were on a difficult position here, the merapi mountain just keep erupting once everyday and there's a tsunami on the mentawai island. so we're fucked up right now

  • @VogueMraz krakatau is errupting too damn i m so scared

  • Krakatoa Hapenned in INDONESIA , java island.. 26 August 1883, 160 more islands attacked by tsunami too.. now krakatoa still active in Indonesia, and i wish that tragedy never happen again in INDONESIA

  • Whoever that made this video, it's seriously amazing. It'd be better if it's released in the cinema all over the world.

  • poor old lady :O

  • Krakatau 26 august 1883 in INDONESIA

  • FUCK THE DUTCH ... RIP ALL INDONESIAN BROTHER /SISTER KRAKATAU VICTIM ...

  • I feel how horrible incident ...

    For all those who can make a recording natural events from the sky ...

    to be able to record any events that exist on earth ...

  • amoy moy moy moy amoyyyyyyyyy

  • Comment removed

  • I like this video?, is it okay to download

  • krakatoa is the most dangerous volcano .

  • @ShanayaRenata2110

    Vesuvius is the most dangerous Volcano in the world. Anak Krakatoa is dangerous but it won't erupt with a VEI of 6 again for a long time. Anak Krakatoa has got to grow and will continue to do so with Strombolian eruptions. There are far more dangerous volcanoes in Indonesia.

  • hmmmmmmm. The music when the water decsends is sooo dramatic!

  • Chuck Norris was born.

  • the lady i open the door to the mega tsunami what a pitie *she disapears when the water pushes her* theat is streangaest thing i ever seen

  • yo kneaw theath thear weas trieple tiemes suepoer veolceanoe inf 1810

  • Krakatoa is a super volcano...it's still active until now...and the son of it was erupted recently...

  • @ronandali

    Krakatoa is not a super volcano. The only Super volcano in Indonesia is Toba.

  • hmmm actually I'm wondering, was krakatoa a super vulcano? or ''just'' a normal volcano?

  • the soldier at 1:06 is SOOO HOT!!!!

  • that was stupid of the woman to let the old lady lock the door she shuldve brought the old lady with her

  • that was a right thing to do to let the dog go and risk your life for it i would thumbs up if u agree

  • and thats why kids, live far from any volcanoes!

  • i love lookig at naruler disasters, call me crazy but they are just awesome, u can't beat lightning, earth quakes, volcanoes or tsunamies. and last but mot least meteors

  • INDONESIA!!

  • at 7:06

    if i were him, i would running for my life other than saving all of my merchandise

  • Loud rumblings are often heard from a source about 40 miles, even atomic bombs can't produce it. We are truly small from God's creations.

  • Gotta fecking love natures power.

  • Jesus christ, ok so first of all

    Anak = child

    So Anak Krakatoa is the child of Krakatoa which makes Krakatoa the mother.

    So, anak krakatoa isn't as highly dangerous as krakatoa itself which means that it is still dangerous, although it will not erupt unless it is disturbed.

    The only possible danger is of krakatoa erupting. In 1883, the sound could be heard from perth, and the wave of the tsnuami was TWENT (20) METRES HIGH! Around 30 000 people died but the amount will remain unknown.

  • I'm really amazed by the number of people on youtube who were there and "know" what did or didn't happen. This is a reconstruction of some of the events mentioned in the diaries, told for dramatic effect. Volcanoes don't follow scripts; each one is unique. The idea here is the magnitude of the disaster, and what humans did to live with it and eventually overcome. It will happen again, maybe next year or maybe in a thousand; science can't yet say.

  • What happened to the whole docu-drama ? A year ago I could watch the whole thing on YouTube.

  • Actually, the initial Tsunami was more powerful than this. The loudest bang heard on this Earth produced a Mega Tsunami that was estimated to be about 100 feet high! And it was also powerful enough to take an entire stone lighthouse off of it's foundation. People didn't die from drowning. The concussive force from the wave would kill people instantly. It is amazing what power lies beneath our feet.

  • @BCSpore: First, you weren't there. The only ones who were left diaries at best, and you can read them. Everything didn't happen at once; they happened over 48 hours. There were lots of bangs, probably lots of tsunamis and at least one major flow made it across the strait. Lots of people died from drowning, probably quite a few from shock waves toppling structures, a lot from that flow's heat and gasses. The lighthouse was toppled, I understand, by a large block of loose coral.

  • I can't imagine how we can survive if these happen nowadays. This offshore volcano grant you great combo: tsunami, shockwave and ash rain. Checkmate dude!

  • pretty bad presentation. The videos from the tsunami 2004 show how these waves really look a like, and that's quite more frightening then what was shown in the movie here. No splish-spash but a solid brown to black wall followed by extremely rapid currents, smashin everything.

  • @Lightningchase1973: Well, really, it is difficult to hire these sets, you know. Places with the water and the waves really don't want to throw whole trees and collapsed haciendas into them, or the dirt and sand; waiting around for just the right circumstances probably won't make the BBC managers happy. Same reason that the natives aren't perfect; these were available within the time and budget. You're watching it for free; thank your lucky stars and MelodyOfVision and just enjoy the ambiance.

  • I know that this Krakatoa eruption occurred in Indonesia but was this movie actually filmed in Malaysia or Indonesia?

  • 3:55 That looks like it was put in reverse...

  • @derekrules this eruption is a lot worse then what yellowstone is going to be when Krakatoa erupted it cud be heard 3,000 miles away in australia and the ash covered the globe for 3 years

  • @ijustnukedyou. You are wrong. If you live anywhere in the northern hemisphere, as likely as not, you will be killed either directly or indirectly if Yellowstone explodes in your lifetime. As massive and devastating as Krakatoa was, it is nothing compared to what the Yellowstone Caldera will do. Yellowstone is a SuperVolcano for heavens` sake.

  • Fucking men.....if only theyd listen to their wives once in a while.....

  • more like 1 inch lol

  • @mark1wtf

    yeah riiight. Better get my life jacket now.

    Honestly Planets lining up iarent gonna effect earth one stinking bit!

  • Actualy that would cause the Earth to be in direct line of other planets gravity, and would cause signifigant tidal surges that could kill people who are not carefull

  • i have wtach this show in my school

  • O_O im happy im living in a place with no volcano's and earthquakes and stuff....

  • Wnderfullllllll... Excellent Movie and presentation,this is just Powerful Volcano Krakatoa.... Fascinante and destuctiv. Was fur eine Film so wunderbar... Erstaunlich.

  • :o) I agree - the BBC did a wonderful job of making these true accounts come to life for us. Thanks for watching!

  • congradulations derekrules not only have you enlightned us with your omnipotent genius about Yellowstone creating a tsunali? you also have the intellectual brilliance of creating a phrasal verb that eats iteslf alive "search it up" kuhdooooosh! this man is a mental moog.

  • My Science Class wacthed this whole movie! It was epic! :p

  • The drawback was caused by the trough infront of the wave (a dip) that is why we get a drawback or receed. The difference in approaching tsunamis in 2004, places in indonesia etc had warning of tsunami (although to little to late for many) approaching with unusual tide movement, Sri Lanka didn't there was no trough infront of the wave when it crashed into Gall etc....Some didn't know what the receeding of the tide was it captivated those who filmed it and lived.

  • Can you imagine being there and seeing the shore line pull back 100+ yards in about 45 seconds?

    Tremendous amount of energy.

  • Thanks ALOT for puttin this up coz we watched it in geography and had homework on it and I didnt have a clue so I watched again on here lol xx

  • We had a tsunami on the coast of BC in 1964 and I was raised to know to run when the water recedes.

  • The Yellowstone Super valcano would be thousands and thousands of times worse!! Search it up!

  • I hope the dog survived

  • You and me both.

  • omg...

  • If u see the way they look when they see the wave there like "Aww crap"

  • Lol

  • 00:43 omk! that soo cool

  • I remember about tsunami in aceh last december 2004.

    6:13 is the best way...

    Sorry, my English languge poor. I'm Indonesian.

  • This is one of the reasons why I posted this particular clip. A lot of people didn't know the warning signs of an on-coming tsunami and its destructive effects.

    So folks! If you see the water recede from the shore drastically, then run for high ground!

  • @sapilansia you did well to remind everyone what can happen. We are thankful for your post, best regards

  • volcanoes fascinate me, it's a wonderful presentation of the mighty prowess of the earth but it is one dangerous act of nature.. if only we can witness these events without having lives claimed by it..

  • so, do you think Anak Krakatoa could blow its top in 2012, or do you think it might be something different?

  • In 2012? I'm not sure. All I know is that it is growing at a fast rate. The thing is, Indonesia has so many volcanoes some of which are active and some of which are dormant, that we really shouldn't be concentrating on just Anak Krakatoa.

    We really can't take the dormant volcanoes for granted. Tambora was dormant for centuries, but its eruption in April of 1815 was much more violent then Krakatoa's and killed many people directly and indirectly.

  • i don't know... Anak Krakatoa would be a tragedy if it were to erupt.... with millions of people living near it and it had nearly the same magnitude of this eruption, it would kill hundreds of thousands of people...

    what really really shocked me in this movie is the fact that it was the eruption was the equivilant of 30,000 atom bombs

  • @MelodyOfVision I'm not entirely sure about the volcano erupting was a 2012 prediction but it might be.

  • @lolzatyahoo2 - Yeah, maybe - it can happen. As long as the scientists are vigilant in monitoring it and warning Indonesia early.

  • @MelodyOfVision look, anak krakatao is no threat to us, just follow these 5 rules, when you hear that an eruptions imminate, keep an eye on it, when you see water receed, run up hill as fast as you can, when you hear trees crackling, run and don't stop because if you stop, your gonna die, if you smell something wierd, hold your breath and take as few breathes as possible, and last, know your escape routes

  • @drewnickel - Good advice!

  • @MelodyOfVision our main threats today are mt tambora, lake toba, and yellowstone caldera. as those have been dormant for a long while and have an extensive past of global cataclysmic eruptions. toba would make krakatoa look like a firecracker, yellowstone would block the sun for up to 5 years, and tambora could cause global starvation due to crop failures. toba would make an explosion visible from space and damaging to areas over 8000 miles away

  • @drewnickel - Since volcanoes are unpredictable even with scientific monitoring, I would say that those volcanoes you've mentioned are also possible dangers. I don't take ANY volcano for granted, even if they've been dormant for ages.

  • @drewnickel

    Lake Toba erupts badly...ocasionally. But really huge eruptios are rare. Lake Tobe did already worse eruptions than Yellowstone, but 70 000 years ago for this king of volcanoes is uite a short time. 600 000 years - like for Yellosone - sets alert. There are quite some other potential supervolcanoes, maybeclose to eruption (on geological scale, that means 10 000 years). One of them lies close to Vesiuvio in Naples, the campi flegrei.

  • @Lightningchase1973 i know of another, that is no longer extinct. it's called La Garita, it's in northern colorado. it's last eruption was 28 million years ago, and was twice as big as the biggest eruption of toba. with the recent earthquakes in the western hemisphere I'd fear an earthquake rupturing the plug in it and releasing it's untold power

  • @drewnickel

    I guess you're read Simon Winchester's book on Krakatoa? Totally fascinating read.

  • @drewnickel you also forgot Lake Taupo in New Zealand.

  • @lolzatyahoo2 if it was, then it wouldn't be anak krakatoa, it'd be one of the much bigger and much more dangerous ones that are hidden, known as mega calderas, ones that can only be seen from space, like tambora, toba, yellowstone, valles caldera, lake taupo, ngorogoro crater, aira caldera, most of iceland, siberrian traps, deccan traps, ontong java plateau, glen coe, La Garita, Cerro Galan, Pacana Caldera, Sam ignimbrite, and a few others

  • @MelodyOfVision within the first two years it killed as many as the atomic bomb did in hiroshima. tambora's the closest theres been to a supervolcano in the past 28,000 years, and hopefully by the time we hit another major eruption, everyone's well prepared. all I can really say is, dont underestimate earth's power, no weapon of man can surpass earths weakest of weapons, let alone volcanoes, which can release more energy in one eruption than all nukes ever detonated and currently existing

  • @antidisastablish333 the onhly ones that are pushing there limit's currently and haven't blown are yellowstone, and a couple other large supervolcanoes. krakatoa looks like it'll be another 500 years before another eruption on the scale of the last one occurs again. maybe 50 for a mt st helens sized eruption

  • 1883 august is the mayan predicted end

    krakatoa

    rip

  • There are many who make there living from the sea and this is what makes it so potentially dangerous by living so close. Yes Anak Krakatau may have the potential of being as destructive as its father in 1883 may be even worse who knows what lurks beneath. How many have learned from their ancestral experiences and what is being currently taught on how to survive if an event takes place surrounding the Sunda Strait? Just a general question and not underestimating their intelligence
