hello muta
this the earliest i've been lol
Hi muta I love ur content

I’m surprised Muta isn’t desensitized to this, him being a Canadian and all. Our EAS alarm is really abrasive and we use the same one for every single emergency level. Every time a kid goes missing in the next province over due to some custody battle my phone makes it sound like the nuclear apocalypse is about to commence.
Mine doesn't tend to go off for kids in other provinces. It did go off for one in my own a few months ago and spook me though.
Hah. My phone's so out of date, I don't get those alarms. My friends do though. Sucks to be them I guess.
My phone goes off too and I live outside Chicago. The amount of alarms going off on my phone via amber alerts and missing people is insane
@@user-ck7tg1dq9y Or sucks to be you if you realize you saw a kid that was kidnapped but you realized too late and they were found dead days after you saw em. Idk. Just sayin. Who really is the lucky one?
i lived in Canada all my life. Its really not as nice as everyone says. Sex offender registry is private. We are not aloud to know whos a danger around are kids, Criminals are protected, Toronto mayor smoked crack, etc.
this actually happen to Hawaii in 2018, a false missile alert was sent telling people to take shelter and hide because there was an incoming ICBM. I remember because I was there, and even after hearing the broadcast say "this is not a drill", it still felt so unreal. I found it so hard to believe what was going on, and by the time I started to actually worry they announced that it was a mistake.
And around the same time our emergency signal went of in Sweden one evening :S They said someone had activated it by mistake
it was a hacker lol
wasn't false, was real, was taken down by whitehats.
Probably had their password on a sticky note 😄
and there was a guy who made a video the day the "missile" was supposed to blast, he said "im out here golfing, i made my last par, love ya'll, but im golfing rn"

It's downright horrifying how much destructive power humanity wields, we're literally eggs wielding hammers.
Eggs with scissors attached to an anvil inside a building rigged to blow with millions of tons of tnt.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that UFO sightings drastically increased after WW2. Humans having nukes was akin to handing a loaded pistol to an infant.

You are perfectly fine to put EAS header tones in your TH-cam video. TH-cam videos are not broadcasts, and the reason EAS tones are illegal to put in broadcast media is because every commercial TV and radio station in the United States is required to have equipment that hears those tones and generates the visual and audio messages required per the emergency information contained in the tones. One radio station (referred to as the "local primary") in each of several dozen regions across the country (average-sized states generally have about three of these regions) is used to dispatch the tones after an EAS activation is ordered by authorities such as NOAA offices or police, and the equipment also listens to the Primary Entry Point System (what would be used for national emergencies and any other nationwide alert). All the other stations in the region have their EAS equipment listen to that local primary station, as well as at least one other station. TV and radio shows using the tones can cause that equipment to be set off, and if the tones used in the show were acquired from a recording of an actual EAS alert (as opposed to being inert gibberish tones generated for the purpose), they could cause the equipment to produce messaging for that emergency.
So, as long as no TV station decides to play this video when they're short on programming, you should be fine.
This.

Hope this video ages well and everything keeps on being theoretical
Ahem ahem Ukraine
Yeah, that
Who would've thought 14:17 would actually mean something in a span of less than a month
about that....
So far so good
For correction, AMBER Alerts are specifically for when there is Child endangerment, its not an umbrella term for all EAS alerts.
It's not Child Endangerment, AMBER Alerts are for child kidnapping emergencies. The name itself: "AMBER" Alert, came from a girl named Amber, who was kidnapped, and later killed.
EAS scenarios are one of the few things that are really effective in giving me anxiety.
My country had them mostly til 1991, though the cold war is still alive
Yeah I've watched them and I watched them at night. The worst time to watch them
hi lol
Just another notification to me 😂
@@KGBSpyGeorgeCostanza Finally someone recognizes that we never left it.

It's important to note that not *ALL* EAS alerts are known as "Amber Alerts", that only happens when a child goes missing or is abducted

As much anxiety as this topic gives me, I genuinely feel more comfortable when you speak on it. Thank you for making content for us muta. Genuinely glad I've stayed around for so long.
Ya especially that fucked up out of context thing at the end.
Fallout in real life
Well, I live in Poland, Warsaw - the capital of my country. We will probably get hit first if anything goes down. I'm now completely avoiding the 24/7 reporting on the war at our next door neighbor, because it freaks me out, gives me anxiety and I wonder if there will be a flash, a sort of warning that I have seconds to think about my life and at least knowing I'm about to die, but I guess not. Maybe it's for the best.
Sad thing is, missile destruction is not like the movies. It won’t be like the fallout games it will just be death and loneliness.
@@belladonnahigh9206 isn’t Poland’s siren like really scary or something
In the UK, when i was a kid back in the 80's, we were all going through the cold war (again with Russia) and the TV used to play an advert "in the event of a nuclear war" around 3 or 4 times a week. It began with 3 'bongs' or chimes. These sounds became ingrained into mine and many peoples subconcious. I've spoken to many, many people about these ads and they all associate the chimes with imminent death, creating over the years a form of PTSD.
I remember I once fell asleep watch TV, then at like 2:00 am, I woke up to the EAS being tested. Was the most scared I have been in a while.
Man's gonna pour himself a glass of bourbon when the world is bout to end instead of downing the whole thing. A man of culture indeed
@Savetion (GODLY CONTENT) bye
Gotta leave some in the bottle for the urban explorers, who somehow survived, to find when they eventually investigate whatever remains of your neighbourhood. Hopefully the bottle survives and doesn't become an irradiated mess of undrinkable liquor.
I guess if you´re already getting down, getting down barfing isn´t the best case.
Oh mate honestly the EAS tones and alarms gives me so much anxiety. I'm not sure why its horrific though.
@Savetion (GODLY CONTENT) 😐
Those sounds are designed to grab your attention, that's why they are so effective
Honestly, I am skipping this video 'cus I don't want to listen to these tones and/or alarms. I don't know why, but high-pitched, sudden noise in a repeating pattern that is often associated with signifying danger has always triggered the old anxiety and freaked me the fuck out. Fire alarms, especially (but an alarm clock ringing of somewhere in the house tends to have the same effect; increased heart rate and occasional difficulty controlling breathing). The end of the latest Backrooms video by Kane Pixels also really fucking terrified me when the alarms went of, but I think my anxiety in that situation was already built up thanks to the eery atmosphere of the video.
@Savetion (GODLY CONTENT).
@@madz_mitch he literally said in the video he is not allowed to play it because of government
That moment around the end of the video when you start hearing low noise rumble and Muta looks back saying “Oh my God” sent chills down my spine for real for a moment, despite that I don’t get scared by these Emergency broadcasts. This unintentional spook was a cherry on top
Regarding the Japanese EAS, it's actually super clever - the jangly instrumentation is purposefully there to make sure you don't immediately freak out, but the notes its playing are an escalating tri-tone, perhaps the most unsettling combo of intervals (the tri-tone is literally known as the devil's tone for a reason). It's the perfect way to go "Hey, not to scare you, but something really bad is happening that you might want to know about"
They made a movie in the 80's about this same type of thing with Matthew Broderick called War Games. It was super similar to this.
"The winning move is not to play"
im a lawmaker i can change the laws of physics
I think I watched this movie in highschool, if its the one im thinking about it was pretty good, reminded me of the game "DEFCON"
Classic ❤️
Want that the Manhattan project movie?
I feel like the USA has one of the more terrifying eas alarm sounds since the sound is so loud and unique. Once you hear it you know exactly what it is.
And I hate when they do a test at 2 in the morning when I'm about to sleep.
That sound is not terrifying, it's loud and obnoxious.
@@lainiwakura1776 stfu edgelord. It's terrifying
It’s also the same sound for weather alerts and amber alerts.
@@lainiwakura1776 oh yeah im sure the ballistic missile heading towards your city will be just as annoying
14:17 the timing of this...
it's so surreal when you're in public and everyone's phones start going off one by one with an amber alert or weather system warning that just got sent out. i've experienced it twice and it feels almost cinematic.
That happened but at my school, it was some guy a while away who shot up some place. The teachers were irritated
The way I learned to deal with my anxiety is to realize the fact that there are forces out of my control, and I can either worry about them or accept I cannot control every aspect of my fate.
that’s a damn good way of lookin at it! glad you learned and are sharin with us!
Sounds like a cope to me...?
@@JohnDoe-ef3wo Coping isn't a bad thing.

welcome to Stoicism
There's an EAS failure scenario called "Lost in Silence" where the EAS system malfunctions and keeps playing just small bits of the audio, but never properly updates what is going on, until it's too late. Check out Jakob Hill's channel for "Lost In Silence: An EAS Nuclear Attack Scenario" for some major stress
That was the first one that legitimately made me shit myself
I'll look at it right now thanks to your comment
Also The Watershed
Man I love Jakob Hill’s videos so much!!
@Federal Bureau of Investigation how are you able to have a screenname like that? thats awesome lmao
In Switzerland, every year on the first Wednesday in February at 13:30 we do a country wide emergency siren test.
So everyone is used to it and knows exactly how it sounds. We have like eight different sounds for every type of severe incidents :)
You know, I thought of it and i think that testing emergency sirens at particular time every year is better then not testing them at a particular time, but at random. The reason is when the tested at a particular time siren goes off at the not intended time almost everyone will know that sh*t is serious and that this isn’t a test while if the siren is tested at random times people will be more likely to think that this is a test and won’t take it seriously.
16:50 "I AM PIGMENTALLY CHALLENGED" I LOST IT
When I was stationed in Japan during the height of NK and US tension my phone did the EAS warning regarding a long range ballistic missile that was fired towards Japan. It said to take cover in a concrete structure. I was in a pet shop and no shit - my boy and I looked at each other and just shrugged. If this was it - this was it.
The missile ending up shooting towards the coast nowhere near Japan but it really rustled some jimmies. I will always remember the helplessness of it all. Truly an eerie feeling when everyone got the alert, looked at their phones, and then at everyone else.
Happened in the US. There is a bozo who hit the test button and everyone cell got the same alert from hawaii.
and if you get a US cellphone... you can turn off all alerts except presidential alert, which is what the hawaii false alarm sent in.
I would do the same. You can't run away from a nuke lol. If you have anxiety you can either do drugs or alcohol, prep supplies, get a hazmat suit and a bunker OR just come to the realization that everything the government does is for a reason and that there are lasers on sattellites, rocket propelled EMP's and flying saucers that shoot waves out like HAARP. ALL of these can stop a nuke in its track in sub orbit. So in other words...don't worry be happy :D
@@OSYofRR stailite lasers cant stop a nuke i think it would be too weak anyways and wouldnt even reach a nuke. Sattellites are only there to detect them and only thing that could really stop them are interceptor missiles when in sub orbit
@@OSYofRR what?
The scary thing about the Yellowstone one is that there is actually a supervolcano under it. That EAS scenario has a small but sure chance of actually coming true in the real world.

@@pelziig that's actually a myth.
@@DarkeeseLatfiah6 No. He's not wrong. In fact, its so overdue, scientists dont know when it could erupt, or in their words- "It could explode in 50,000 years or next Tuesday,".

Very happy to see you covering these scenarios, been watching them for years and they're (almost) always amazingly done
In the Netherlands we test our countrywide EAS system monthly. Every first monday of the month at noon sirens go off in the entire country just to make sure our alarms still work. That's why we have a common joke which is: If the germans want to invade the Netherlands again they will probably do it on monday at noon to cover it up :)
German here, we also do it at noon, but on Saturday. I guess you guys you can invade us, and then 2 days later we can invade you right back.
Actually with the Ukraine situation this isn't funny anymore
If the Netherlands ever want to invade Elmwood Park Illinois, be sure to do it at 10 o'clock on a Tuesday morning, because that's when our EAS system is tested weekly.
Here in Srpska it happens every 15th day of the month in 3 PM. Once l was so close to it that l could not hear my thoughts.These things are super loud, l never was too close to one until last year and o boy loud it is.
Swede here, we also do it on monday. We joke that the sirens will keep going whenever planes fly over because the Russians would be invading
@@srobertweiser I think that is when all of IL does it cuz I live closer to the STL area and they test it the first Tuesday of every month from 10am-11am
Two of the scariest one's for me was the Hawaii scare a few years back and that one where a radio station got hacked and there was this creepy woman reading off the names of people and the dates they died over a emergency broadcast. Bone chilling.

5:41 I can confirm that this is Japan’s EAS alert. A streamer I watch lives in Japan and in the middle of the stream he got an EAS alert with this exact sound, except with a female voice and for a tsunami warning
The Swedish emergency sirens are tested 4 times a year so it’s heard everywhere around the country. Tourists are sometimes caught off guard.
In germany we grew also up with this Sirens, going off 1 time a month in my 20000 souls City
In the Netherlands every first Monday of the month at 12:00 am all the air sirens are tested

Anyone remember that CoD Modern Warfare 2 mission intro? Nothing but that scary EAS-SAME data sound and the text saying to evacuate. It was the most haunting thing ive ever seen, it still gives me chills. Also brings back memories of terrible storms and hearing the tone on the weather radio.
The EAS alarm even appeared during the "Wolervines!" mission too when the Russian forces were invading America and were attempting to take siege of Washington D.C.
That mission intro, my god, it was one of the most chilling and disturbing moments in gaming
Gave you a feeling of “what the actual fuck”
I remember discovering these a few years ago. Many bad dreams followed. One time a tornado was approaching our town, but no EAS alerts were broadcast, so none of my friends new what I was talking about as I was doing 80 towards the next town.
ik im late but recently i had a dream also where i was just having fun with friends then all of a sudden we heard the eas siren go off then we all started screaming but the scariest thing was, it was so vivid it turned out to be a nuke hitting us and i felt the heat of the fireball and felt the shockwave go over me and all i remember hearing was screaming it literally shook me when i woke up
I’m in Ukraine rn and my anxiety legit shot through the roof after this. Thanks Muta, I’ll consider moving my plans for getting outta the country forward 👍🏻

Or fight and take out some Russians and protect your homeland? Shit if someone was to invade the USA, I'm not running. I'm taking down as many of the other guys before they get me. But still, stay safe no matter what you choose to do. Look up Ukrainian territorial defense force.
Hey Muta, just a reminder, AMBER Alerts do not apply to weather warnings or civil danger warnings. AMBER only applies to child abductions.
I swear I got a tornado watch notification actually from Amber Alert. Granted I was still sleepy so I probably mistook it
@@chelsthegameruiner8669 amber alerts are for child abduction. Every system has bugs though.
@@chelsthegameruiner8669 they have similar notification sound
Just to be clear, he's in Toronto. For some reason, they've decided that there's no difference between our emergency alerts. So, while iPhone (and Android) have different levels of emergency alert, we use the same alert for everything. So, you can be woken up at 2 AM because an actual AMBER alert in Ottawa, literally several hours drive away. But, you get the same alert for a major weather warning as well.
Here in the city of Edmonton we apparently send out Amber Alerts that give no information and tell you to watch the news.
I'm from Ukraine. Air raid sirens were blaring. We took shelter in the nearby subway. Spent ~2hrs there before returning to our apartment. Heard explosions afterwards

as someone who’s had to survive a full year of a full-scale war, i definitely think i’ve grown a little desensitized to air alerts and whatnot. i don’t check the news as frequently, but the first 2-3 months of the war, i couldn’t stop; i was terrified of losing sight of it, if anything. i was sure that at any point, one of our NPPs would go boom, and that’d be it for a lot of us.
it really isn’t an experience i’d recommend anyone to go through. war isn’t fun, and it messes with people in a really unpleasant way.
Ukrainian? 🤔
The abridged version of the Petrov story makes him seem a lot more reckless and stupid than he actually was.
What he really decided was to hold off on making his call for a couple minutes to see if his system would show more than just five targets, since an actual nuclear first strike would consist of hundreds of missiles fired at once. He sat and waited for about ten or fifteen minutes, and when he was sure there were no more apparent targets, he called the Kremlin to inform them that his system was giving him inconsistent readings and that they should call the Arctic Fleet to have them monitor the north coast since he was essentially blind.
It was a cold, calculated decision, made by an elite officer with several decades of training and experience in large-scale strategic theory and logistics, and a ruthlessly pragmatic approach to his command duties-not some "gut feeling" of an uneducated rube who just didn't feel like fighting a war he wouldn't survive, or a Luddite who didn't believe in radar.
Also, how come nobody ever talks about Vassiliy Arkhipov?
Ofcourse because he is a Russian they wanna make him look dumb
Wow I did not know this and thanks for sharing! Also wasn't Vassily one of the 3 commanders of a nuclear submarine? Definitely heard about the story somewhere on TH-cam on those top 10 videos.
@@tejazer5928 Arkhipov was the chief diplomatic envoy with the fleet that transported equipment through the US blockade during one of the attempted occupations of Cuba. They were attacked with depth charges and unable to receive orders due to a radio black-out, and procedure dictated that such an event must mean WWIII had broken out and it was time to deploy their own weapons payload. The admiral aboard _and_ the captain both agreed to fire, but they needed the command of a third flag officer and Arkhipov wasn't approving it. Just the previous year he had been on a different submarine when a reactor breach caused a similar radio black-out, so he talked the admiral into surfacing briefly to assess the situation, and when that happened it became apparent that the bombardment was only meant to deter them from proceding to Havana, so theyturned back and headed for the Baltic again.

Oh wow, didnt expect you to a video on EAS, Muta. I used to make a bunch of EAS content for years, and really, for anyone wondering why, theres just something about a system designed to alert us that fascinated me for sometime. It even gave me a creative outlet to make some of those scenarios that you talked about to. Granted, it even helped me get into other bigger interests such as radio communications, as well as local emergency response teams.
Also shoutout to some of my EAS friends featured in this video, i'm happy to see my former community getting some attention. (:

I do remember watching these EAS Scenarios so it is good that big TH-camrs like you are giving the community some attention.
The first “Dial-Up” sounds actually do contain coded message about the emergency, time, affected area, etc. that emergency radio automatically picks up.
That's interesting. Unfortunately this video has somehow unnerved me at 12:30am and I am sleeping with my light on.
Wow, cool!
I’ve been SCARED of EAS scenarios for like 2 years now exactly because those weird sounds give me some serious anxiety.
i've watched so much EAS scenarios on youtube lately that i think i've gotten unsensitive to such alert tones.
maaaaybe that's a bad thing
Is it anxiety though? Isn't it more like your survival instinct going off?
For me its been since the first time I've heard it, maybe around 8 years ago. I still haven't gotten over my fear of them for some reason.
@@NotisSenju it's correlated
it's supossed to enable your fight/flight mode, via making you nervous/anxious. such tones were designed to induce you discomfort and make you anxious, in no other way you could pay attention to the message
Some kinds of alerts can't be disabled or even sileneced on phones in the US... it's always terrifying when I'm on a train in the subway and everyone goes off. Feels dystopian every time.
I have been down a rabbit hole watching these since this upload. Have freaked myself out good
EAS is essential in the Midwest and the South of the US with the amount of severe weather we get. Especially for weather events such as tornados where warning need to be sent out almost immediately. One can even buy special radios that silently listen to weather radio frequencies and will alert the people of the emergencies.
Can confirm. Lived in Oklahoma for much of my childhood and we had one of those emergency weather radios. That thing terrified me as a kid, especially when I could hear it at night from across the house
I live in oklahoma now and there are many radio test and they test the tornado sirens every saturday at noon. but for the last couple of years weather has been crazy in other times than just spring. There were tornadoes in october, and the winters have been wack. We got a ton of sleet a couple of days ago, and in 2020 we got a big ice storm in october, around 1/2 inch. last febuary we got a 2 week long snow storm. last week the high changed from 70 to 20 in one day
Us Midwesterners can confirm.
in salt lake, utah, we constantly got EAS for severe thunderstorms in tooele, usually when the storms already started. i have a fear of thunder and lightning. for some unholy reason, the two mixed, and every time i hear a test alarm i just about shit myself
I dont know if you consider Kentucky as midwest, but it is almost essential that we have one. Floods and Tornados happen here frequently.
Any ARG involving a emergency broadcast noise, fucks with my brain.
I remember last year when I was completely obsessed with EAS Alarms. I used to even look for "purge" and second coming of god warnings. its truly fascinating stuff
As someone who's both: a fan of yours and a member of this community, I was kind of surprised to see it getting the attention it got.
Great video, might I add.
I've always had a phobia of EAS alerts lol, one in the middle of the night will make me anxious until sunrise
**you wake up just to realize there is 2 sun with alot people abandon their own house**
SAME I WILL HAVE A HEART ATACK
same dude
I was at a mall in Phoenix when I was a kid, and it was in the middle of a huge sandstorm right after the sun went down. All at once probably 200-300 peoples phones went off with the severe weather warning tone and I nearly shat myself
@@bigpapi6688 A similar thing happened to me where there was a wildfire near us and I was working a register at a grocery store, bunches of people's phones had EAS alerts go off at the same time save for a few people including me. I was scared, had no idea what was going on, afraid for my family, couldn't move from my spot and I started panicking right there lol. By luck though the old lady I was checking out was senile or something and hardly noticed
I remember my fiance and I fell asleep on the couch and was startled awake by one of these that spoke of an impending airstrike. After gathering our son from his room and calling our parents (at 2:40 am), we paced the living room thinking of the best way off of Florida grounds. We chose the boat. After making a quick bug-out bag, I, for some reason, decided to turn off the TV before we left. And that's when fucking Michael from Vsauce was explaining the goddamn EBS system and had played a real one that woke us up! I'll never ever forget that feeling.
woah... xD
I really scared by brother by watching that same vsauce video. He walked out to the living room and I heard him ask our mom, “What do we do”. I feel really bad scaring him like that lol
what one
Lmao what a chad
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This video aged well
I wouldn't worry necessarily about Yellowstone, I'd worry about Flagra di Campi in Naples Italy. It's a chain of volcanoes now but it use to be one large caldera that if memory serves covers the entire area of Naples and the bay and there are areas in Naples that have risen 10-20 feet in about 20 years. You can see pictures of them on line and it is chilling to see.
Cool to see someone like you talk about a genre that’s so niche and small. Also to see my channel featured on here, even for a split second is insane. Awesome stuff, keep it up man
Well if it ain't the man himself.
wtf its Electric
hi
@Savetion (GODLY CONTENT) how much of a lowlife are you to say that
@@serryntonin it's a bot
Dude I love stuff like this alongside creepy stories and alternate history situations they just fascinate me to a limitless extent
The rumble that Muta added really sets viewing these EAS videos really does set the creepiness mood 100%
true, i rewatched this video over, its my favorite muta video of all time. it makes me feel good
1. italy has a banger EAS alarm
2. thought i would mention a related story, details are fuzzy though. a city in the US had their EBS and train station compromised at the same time, the normal EAS test message played twice overnight but with "would you, could you on a train?" at the end. the next morning a train's brakes malfunctioned and ran into the stopper at full speed. no casualties iirc but the whole situation gives me chills
Clearly you haven’t heard Germany’s.
The thing with the Tzar bomb is, that it wasn't even at full load. The soviets were scared of what effect it would have and cut the payload in half. Considering that and that the shockwave of this halfed bomb travelled three times around the earth... They could have probably ended humanity right there and then.
Good fucking thing that thing doesn't exist anymore. But then again, there might be bombs developed in secrecy that's even more deadlier than the tzar bomb. We'd never know, unfortunately
@@humphreywolfe actually we do know that there are much worse bombs than the tzar bomba
and both russia and the us have them sorry to break this to you
@@Crushonius oh fuck, all this time I thought that the tzar bomb was the worst bomb ever. Well I hope those other bombs would never be used. The world right now is already in a shitty spot, I'm not looking forward for any sort of nuclear fallout or whatever
@@humphreywolfe Just imagine man, the tsar bomba was way back in 1961. Imagine how powerful nuclear weapons are today that the governments have been hiding from the public
@@Crushonius Source: Trust me bro
15:12 are we not going to talk about the eyes in the dark back there
Those are lights. Nice imagination, tho.
@@WD_RatLad how did i never realize that
24:12 this moment right here freaked me out cuz I thought something catastrophic happened outside Muta's doorstep.
It felt almost coincidental.
ikr bro it scared the absolute shit out of me
Canada's alarm is S tier bone chilling. They play that on tv and on the phone all the time for whether emergencies and even missing persons.
As bone chilling as your pfp and name
pfp sauce?
@@simoneidson21 Sauce? BBQ, Tomato, Ketchup, Mustard, Sweet and Sour?
Emergency alarms ARE super scary. I had a really bad scare recently when an air raid siren started going off nearby. Turns out it was a routine test of the tornado sirens, which are identical to air raid sirens in my area. For some reason, I'd never heard them testing them before, so I thought the bombs were dropping.
what makes me anxious the most are the two yellow lights in the background doorway
OH GOD I JUST NOTICED THAT
Besides the ems, those light reflections on the TV behind muta creeps me out.
Honestly, one of my biggest fears in hearing the nuclear bomb alert. The day of my wedding had an alarm test that made air raid sirens go off and it added tons of anxiety to an already anxiety situation. I also really have a fear of volcanoes. I also have a weird affinity for this stuff. I feel you.
Also I have had super wind the past few days and its super freaky.
And that's the last we ever heard of chumon chains
Thats becuase Storm Eunice is passing Chu..
@@Vanished584 I just was saying the winds were insane, I mean like I normally get a lot of wind compared to surrounding areas but not often so much. I could feel the house moving slightly and rain sounding like buckets of water thrown at the windows. Was freaky.
@@sadsworth4605 sorry to ruin your meme >_
I thought you meant you've been farting alot
this just reminded me of how i used to fall asleep to adult swim and there was an EAS test in perfect timing with a family guy cutout gag and i thought that the test was meant to be the joke
It was probably a better punchline, tbh
in Holland they test the air-raid-alarm every 1st monday of the month at 12:00... so i grew up with it.... every time it goes off its like "what time is it? what day? ...oof ok where good."
24:11 Yo!!! My heart actually dropped when Muta looked outside, said nothing for about 10 seconds, and then says Oh my God!!! I thought some shit was going down or something!!!
Thanks for the mention dude! Nice for this niche little community to finally get the attention it deserves
YOOOOO CONGRATSSS
hey harvester
Congrats dude
@Savetion (GODLY CONTENT) okay that's enough kid
My man Harvester!
There's this RTS game called "Rise of Nations" that has a world apocalypse scenario, which is basically match ending in a tie if too many nuclear missiles are launched by players. It has strong strategic value if you want to disallow anyone to win. Since nukes are powerful, using them will definitely put you on winning side, but it also countdowns towards the apocalyptic tie.
Roblox?
Isnt Rise of Nations a Mobile Game... How an it be RTS?
@@Vanished584 Rise of Nations is also a 2003 RTS game. I think the phrase is too generic to be copyrighted.
Rise of Nations... My RTS fantasy. Age of Empires meets Civilization. Too bad they don't make 'em like that anymore.
The Nuke in that game was also pretty horrifying, atleast compared to anything else in that game. It also had a Nuclear Embargo of about 2 mins per launch that applied to the nation that did the strike and also its allies, thus preventing nuke spamming since economies REALLY hurt when in active combat. Also, a touch of reality, with how embargoes are placed on states that acquire or do nuclear testing.
Thought I was the only one that remembered that game lol. Literally my entire childhood right there
Thank you for recommending this video at 2AM just as I manage to calm down my anxiety, TH-cam. Really cool of you 🤠🤝
There's honestly nothing that gives me primal shivers like hearing the emergency broadcast tone and voice. There's just something so unsettling about it.
Because at best it is the end of your world and at worst the end of the entire world, it's shit we never want to hear.
The noises at the beginning are intentionally engineered to be disturbing to your ears so it's really not surprising but even after hearing it hundreds of times now it still creeps me
I mean that's literally what the tone is designed for. It grabs your attention and puts you on high alert.
@@tylerisadumb literally just said that lol, glad other people know that too
@@Omaeka991 or, you know, another fucking snow storm to tokyo drift through on the way to or from work.
These scenarios are something that can keep me up at night. Having less than an hour to decide what your last actions will most likely be. Who would I call one more time? What would I tell them? Would I not do any of that and instead try everything to find shelter, hoping to survive but risking some last interactions with loved ones?
That reminds me of the movie "Threads" which was such a disturbing experience.
I would just pray and thank God I’d be seeing him soon
Unless you live near a mountainous area that’s hundreds of miles away from any military base, city, or other target, then there’s not much you can do in terms of a nuclear war. All you can hope for is a quick death…
it was nice hearing mutas plans were the same as mine. ive got enough time to pour myself a glass of that vintage ive been waiting years to pop open, and enough time to send a text to the family and friends to let them know it was an honor. thats all i need
18:17 mad is just a more dangerous version of chicken
The Fallout franchise has mod packs with Radio stations dedicated entirely to playing real historical EAS Alarms.
It's fascinating listening to hours of propaganda mixed with genuine concern for the possible end of humanity.
EAS scenarios are my favorite side of TH-cam. It’s a very underrated genre of horror
Yep I wish more people covered this stuff
As a member of the EAS community, putting stuff on TH-cam is perfectly fine. The problem is if you were to play the audio over things like FM radio, television or weather radio, you could set off legitimate equipment. That's why some of the scenarios and mocks will have disclaimers telling you not to play stuff over the air, because people have done that before and they have gotten fined by the FCC. Most people aren't stupid enough to do that, but there's a few that are.
The equipment is set up by the operator to monitor specific frequencies of designated radio stations in certain areas, and unless you were to get on that frequency with a radio and play stuff, nothing would happen. Some broadcast equipment is owned by independent operators, but most of the time these are used for running virtual internet radio stations that could relay alerts for the person's area.
It's wild how intricate the EAS system web is. Really interesting stuff.
Anyway, keep up the good work, my guy.
Jakob Hill channel makes some really great EAS content. Been a fan of EAS for a while, glad to see it covered!
Dude thank you so much for the anxiety warning. Seriously. 😍
Yes! Finally! Someone discusses one of the most interesting and unique genres on TH-cam! Some EAS scenarios are so well done, it’s crazy. Happy to see it getting some much needed attention
doo
@@pugsmeyer9866 it doo be like that
I live in NW Ohio, and I grew up with those Tornado sirens going off almost every spring-late summer. The anxiety and real feeling of danger those sirens inflict you with is crazy. They do they're job well
Too bad I live in the SE of Ohio and just get nothing sometimes cause the storms just say no lol
@@immaghost3492 "too bad"
EAS videos stopped being scary for me a long time ago when literally every ARG or "analog horror" started using one, no exceptions. But, covering real ones, while not making me anxious or afraid, is a good video from big Muta.
I once was in Florida and it was during hurricane irma everyones phones was like a symphony of those tones
I'm happy you did this, I fucking tired of people laughing this all off or meming it to oblivion or justifying the aggression. I don't want to live in fear, but I also don't want to be ignorant of the danger.
Dont blame the internet, were just laughing cause were all scared deep down. Everyone knows we arent surviving ww3.
Not wanting to live in fear and also not wanting to be ignorant of the danger? Welcome to prepping!
Because it is a meme. All of this is all bark and no bite, none of those countries will actually go to war because the natural endgame is getting our planet nuked 5x times.
The ufos won't allow it anyway.
