Fun fact concerning Bikini Atoll. The developer of the swimwear actually named it after the island because he wanted to give the same impression with his product as watching a nuclear explosion.
tbh I'm shocked that North Sentinel Island's clear boundaries have been respected into the modern era considering how many indigenous people and cultures have been lost to colonization, but at the same time that shit always starts with friendly gifts and visits, and they've made it clear they aren't interested in anything cute from any of us. I kind of love that for them.
Apparently there's nothing of value on that island or surely someone would have exploited it by now. It's not like it's very away from other islands. Yet somehow, despite being close to major shipping lanes for thousands of years it never got colonized and its natives stayed isolated for tens of thousands of years! Also, despite the islands size, their population is estimated to be rather low, a few hundred at most, even though similar sized islands often have many thousands of people.
We love your channel (and Weird Food History). We're just trying to wrap our head around 1:36 where you're describing automating a lighthouse and the video is of a beer can filling line...
I gotta say something, I personally think that the guy that does the VO for these videos should do ASMR, VA and audio reading cause this has a terrific voice! Seriously he can go a long way with that awesome voice of his.

This is why Spanish speaking countries in South America hate Brazil. You can't mention anything about Brazil on the internet without a Brazilian correcting it. Nobody gives a fuck! Olha que eu sou brasileiro. It's really fucking annoying.
Most dangerous places I've been: We lived in Turkey during the late 1950s when my Dad was in the Air Force. He was told to vary his route to work daily due to snipers in the hills. Another time, we were told to stay in our house due to some government official attempting to leave the country by way of the road in front of our house, because there might be shooting! Not very comforting at all! Kind of surprised families of were allowed to go there.
6:42 I knew that location sounded familiar! The residents had to wear gas masks for over 5 years because of the toxic fumes. Either deal with it that way or leave the island.
D.A.R.E. related memory...I remember how much harder it was to fight peer pressure against drugs when I was isolated and by myself. When groups turned up the peer pressure, it felt like I was isolated and on an island!
Don't know if it's the same place, but I saw a documentary about an island covered in snakes that wait for migrating birds to land on the trees and eat them.

@@seanwebb605 Profession - An occupation requiring special training in the liberal arts or sciences (Collins Dictionary) By definition, they are professional deer hunters.
@@btetschner A dictionary is a language reference guide that tries to describe how people use words in different situations. It tells us very little about what is considered the professional class, trades or unskilled labour. Collins has nothing to say about the advanced degrees and certifications by associations for medical doctors, lawyers etc. Interestingly the Alberta government in Canada wants to apply the designation of engineer more liberally which has caused a bit of an uproar. It devalues the designation and its meaning. So while some wish to elevate themselves by declaring themselves professional in field all it really does is remove important distinctions.
@@btetschner You don't know the purpose of a dictionary and have no understanding of the subject. I haven't questioned the credibility of Collins as a dictionary. It works very well as a dictionary. And I'm more than happy to use it and other credible dictionaries as language guides as that is their intended purposes. But I understand the purpose and use of a dictionary.
Not real thankfully, but at the end of the real dinosaurs era, there was an island with mini dinosaurs on it. The fossil record shows they got smaller, in order to survive on dwindling resources.
The most dangerous island i ever visited is actually the island i was born on & still live today. There's no deadlier island in the world than my island continent, my Great Southern Land 🇦🇺
1:48 Beyonce attended the premiere of the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. It says a lot when one major award-winning music artist attends the premiere of another!

3:43 With a name like Bikini Atoll, how could they let that island become so dangerous! Any other time the name bikini gets thrown out there, people will swift to the island!
I will never feel sorry for a "Christian missionary" who purposefully ignores everybody who tells him to not go to the island where the indigenous people will make you an obituary.
I saw them in West Germany in the mid-late 80s. Bad assery is all I can say. Someone in the crowd threw a whiskey bottle up on stage and it landed near the drummer. Without missing a beat, he bent over, picked it up, and then chucked it hard back into the crowd. Good times!

@MatthewTheWanderer population is probably low because any illness is basically a death sentence lol.
North Sentinel Island sounds like a lovely place, beautiful views, interesting people and the food is to die for.
Fucking nukes and shit they were obsessed with it back then, fucking psychopaths
The TV show Ghost Adventures was able to get on Poveglia. Hearing Zac try to communicate in Italian while wearing a plague mask was a sight to behold.

I'm really fascinated by North Sentinel Island. I'd love to hear more about it
They've already done a video on it a couple of years ago😁
So many videos by so many other channels have done presentations on it. It's an easy subject to find.
@jenniferlonnes7420 your mums an easy subject to find. I hear.
@paulcowlishaw OK, find her. I'll wait and be quite impressed if you do.
nobody needs to know about north sentinel island… because people are dumb and SOMEBODY’s gonna try to go, again.
This is why I sit here in my room, under a blanket, holding a baseball bat all day long.

After they were rescued it became a resort.

Don’t forget Rock Island! It’s in western Illinois!
The most dangerous place I ever visited was the grand opening of the local Democratic Party representative’s office in Rockford.
Yea these guys use to batter girls on that island but you kno why also that happened is because some of them were money grabbing hoes 🤷♂️

7:53 My older brother swam in a jellyfish lake called Jellyfish Lake in Palau.
He said that it was like swimming in a mass of jellyfish.

The series looks awesome!
Never forget the Island that brought down Oceanic Flight 815
Most dangerous place I've ever visited is definitely my own mind.. the thoughts that roll around in there are absolutely haunting

There are no crocodiles in or around K'Gari. Well not yet anyway although with warming waters they are moving further south.

I've heard about the Brazilian Island of Snakes. Only the military can visit.
Coiba Island is a tourist attraction, it WAS a prison, now it's a natural reserve.
3:26 Sounds like the film Fight Club!
7:16 Maybe they should make lava cakes there.
I've always wondered what the snakes on Snake Island eat. Are they all cannibalistic?
Don't know if it's the same place, but I saw a documentary about an island covered in snakes that wait for migrating birds to land on the trees and eat them.

pia island has had some studies done it: no history of mass deaths or disease, just some folks taking care of that part of port
Plum island and Hart island should be on this list Lil St. John too.
all these dont hold a candle to the most dangerous place in my area:
A wendys parking lot.
You forgot the island of doctor Moreau!
Bikini atoll is where bikini bottom is from SpongeBob
8:46 All four Jaws films are on Netflix.
