Big apologies if the background rumble sounds a tad to harsh under certain conditions. I didn't factor a lot of bass headphones under the edit and stuck to my speakers as the reference. Will fix this for next time
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.
@@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 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"
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@JohnDoe-ef3wo this is equivalent to saying any person who uses anesthesia for there adult tooth being pulled is hard coping. Less pain is appreciated.
It's a terrifying situation. I always joked about seeing a WWIII or situation similar in my lifetime, but now it seems a lot more plausible and I'm not even 20 yet.
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.
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.
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"
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
@@Tejazer 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.
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.
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
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.
@@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
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
The first “Dial-Up” sounds actually do contain coded message about the emergency, time, affected area, etc. that emergency radio automatically picks 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.
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.
@@marlondeleon1191 yea search up wkcr hijacking, warning tho its inevitable you'll be scared shitless have something to calm you while you watch it or better yet hear it
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.
@@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,".
@@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
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.
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
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
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. (:
@@КГБКолДжорджКостанца the most I've ever been shaken is waking up at 1 am to my entire house blaring a tornado warning, confirmed touchdown within a quarter mile or so of me, never actually ended up encountering it but now I have anxiety every single time I hear that damn alarm. 😭😡
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.
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.
im actually apart of this community here. And im glad to see that you're out here kind of promoting the community, the most subscribers us creators get is about 30,000
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.
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.
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 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 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
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.
I’ve followed EAS mock scenarios for years, because they are the only thing that can genuinely make me unsettled. Like, scared to even lay down at night unsettling. They’re just on another level.
I remember a few years ago when the EAS systems were messed up somehow, I don't know if it was just at my house or area or what but the speaker's voice was pitched about 2-3 octaves too low so when there were tonadoes or missing kids it would be 110x creepier than usual. The voice was so deep
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.
Coming across this video a week after psyching myself out with a Zombie EAS scenario is amazing. The zombie one has been my favorite so far since its a slow descent from epidemic illness to strange assaults to homicidal flesh eating monsters, government collapse, and orders to kill your loved ones if necessary. There’s something so vividly and deeply terrifying about televisions being nothing but warnings while the threat of being eaten alive looms right outside your window. It’s one of few horror concepts that have actually made me think twice about turning the lights off.
I've been feeling the same way for this past month, especially since I am a minority of Eastern European decent. Much like how Asians-Americans were being blamed and beaten for starting the pandemic. I've had very stressful days and sleepiness nights over this, I've tried to tell my friends and family over these glaring issues, yet they don't seem to care that much or even be that threatened by such problems. It's truly relieving to have someone who can and will listen and relate to you over current global situations. Thanks Muta.
I am eastern european too , I have family in eastern europe however I do not live in eastern europe i live in western europe. I am very worried since the country where my family lives is a neighbor of Ukraine and we've had beef in the past with Russia. My friends know that im eastern european but yet they make nazi jokes that arent even funny :( and they dont care when i talk to them about it. I am stressing a lot that Russia will invade Ukraine and then invade the country my family is in it stresses me out so much :c Stay strong slavic brother 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@@SHinierthennyourforehead I feel very sorry for you and your family, I hope you and them will be safe during these turbulent times. My family has roots mainly in Poland and the Balkans, regions that have very divisive support for either NATO or Russia. Hopefully, we can get through this together and come out better than we started. ♥️
@@SHinierthennyourforehead if your speaking about the USA. Asians were not blamed and attacked for the pandemic except in low income low education areas from criminals. Our government did nothing but defend Asian Americans and also defended China in general
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.
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
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.
It happens all the time time in the Phoenix area. It happened once when I was at the mall and it was crazy. Probably 2000 people there and all of a sudden there was no talking, and sirens coming from everyone’s phone in everyone’s direction. Luckily 99% of the time the alerts are just for sandstorms, which are basically harmless and a very common occurrence in the valley. The only danger they could potentially cause if for drivers, but luckily if you’re driving you’ll be able to see the sandstorm coming from a while away before the alert even comes on and have time to get off the road
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
I'm a FEMA-certified EAS/IPAWS instructor. The "daisy-chain" concept is not true, it requires a CAP-compliant message sent through a very specific gateway (EAS-OPEN), you cannot trigger IPAWS without sending a message on that dedicated gateway. That being said, thank you for taking the time to bring up the FCC fines thing. I see too many people abusing this system meant to protect people in ARGs/creepy videos, and they aren't aware of how dangerous it is to "normalize" a tone meant to inform us, and how they're risking litigation.
TH-cam videos aren't broadcasts, though. Thus, the legal side of it does not apply since it's meant to protect against false headers entering the infrastructure. I wanna say the EAS itself is older than IPAWS and CAP.
That said, I do think perhaps there is something to the moral/psychological side of your argument though. I suppose, even though there's a tangible difference between a YT video labelled as fiction and the real thing interrupting programming, there may still be an element of desensitization.
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.
What frightens me is that in Japan, some of those EASs look very calm, strict and "enjoyable", which gives me goosebumps, because it reminds me always that how common natural disasters are in Japan. It's like, why should they make that much of panic with a horrifying alarm? Anyway, I hope that i don't need to hear alarms due to military involvement in my life, or if i hear a siren, it's just about some fire.
I know earthquake alarms are not like that. I've seen streamers in small earthquakes recently and the sounds are like a screeching sound seconds apart followed by a female Japan voice.
The Japanese are trained to immediately turn into a calm and clear reporter when an earthquake happens. Look some videos of Japanese reporters reacting to earthquakes
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
I've only ever seen any kind of alert once in my life, it was last year when a recycling plant in my city had a pretty severe fire, we got a warning to close all windows, doors and ventilation, and to stay indoors because of potential toxic gas. But these things have made me wonder if our big reliance on the internet for most of our infrastructure haven't left us more vulnerable than we really need to be.
@@mightymeatymech There was a musical number in an old Dutch soap (long story, they had musical soap operas, mostly lost because they largely didn't preserve the episodes, only the songs.) Anyway, a little boy talks about how he likes spending time with his grandpa. Something around the lines of, "we'll go to beach, or, maybe if we'll lucky, go watch a fire together."
Muta: "If you have some severe anxiety triggers, maybe you should skip this video" Also Muta: _has ominous anxiety inducing bass sound playing from the start of the video_
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.
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.
EAS tones have always brought out my worst anxiety attacks. I remember one of the worst mistakes as a kid was falling asleep to Adult Swim only to be woken up by my old source of light: the emergency broadcast system test and it's fear-inducing sounds. It sometimes made me too scared to move
As someone who lives 30 minutes away from Yellowstone, especially as a child every time there was an earthquake I'd always get a lot of anxiety that this was Yellowstone becoming active. I remember in high school we had a larger one than normal and people started generally screaming and freaking out thinking it was Yellowstone. At this point I accept I'll die if it becomes active and I hope it's quick.
Best position to be in when that baby goes off is either as far away as possible or right on top of it. The ladder saves you from having to figure out how to eat when the ash kills your crops for the year and cools the earth down dramatically. Man that'll suck...
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
Can we give props to Muta for putting himself on a watchlist for looking up nuclear casualty maps and all these scenarios in which the US could fall all so he could make this video?
I love how you talking about it as this "sh*t hit the fans" scenario of extreme crysis that hopefully would never happen while here we get those alarms on a weekly basis yea this second alarm of Israel that you say is horrifying, that's a routine here for people who live close to the strip. being constantly bombed by the Hammas organization. kids as young as 3 years old already knows the ins and out of their shelters like the back of their hand from the amount of times they been in them for days after days
This is brilliant. I live in tornado ally, and the weather alerts are mad here. But now I'm turning EAS back on, so I have a reason to drink a glass of bourbon every time it goes off. I'm learning so much from this channel.
I've actually been a fan of fictional EAS scenario videos for a while, I find them really entertaining and quite a mood. May I recommend "Rising Heat" by RadioactiveGirl00 or "EF6" by EmceeCh4p if you haven't seen them. They can be quite cheesy but entertaining imo. Glad to see this content getting some recognition because it's actually really cool. By the way, the fucking background audio is horrifying and put me on edge throughout this entire video lmao
I grew up outside of Washington, D.C. in the 1980's, so thoughts of a nuclear holocaust always haunted me as a kid. When I got older and the threat lessened, I jumped feet first into the topic. It is kinda fascinating how we as humans have stepped to the brink of annihilating ourselves on more than one occasion, and someone who is usually unknown and infinitely more cool headed that the rest gently pulls us back from the edge. Still, I wonder how much of the EAS would function in a first strike mode if a bad actor were to detonate a high altitude nuke to trigger an EMP and take out most telecommunications systems... kinda like what the US did to itself during the Starfish Prime nuclear test in 1962. Stay safe out there friends.
You ever heard about the Soviet nuclear submarine that decided to not launch its nuclear warheads after it got 3 positive launches of ICBMs headed for Moscow? All of their gear confirmed it, yet thankfully the crew decided not to retaliate. WW3 could’ve started that day.
I’m so glad I live in Sudbury, ON nowadays. The closest target to us is Petawawa because of the military base which is almost 3 hours away and there’s a huge chunk of thick boreal forest between here and there. Plus we have SNOLAB which is probably one of the most survivable places in the country if not the continent in the event of nuclear war, not like they’d let normal civilians inside but still I think it’s cool lol.
Wow, I was not expecting you to talk about something like this, but it’s really appreciated having you talk about a bit of a niche topic and one that I’m interested in
As a kid I was home at night when we had a tornado warning on the screen during a strong storm. Getting that buzzer warning sound with this dark red screen warning us about the storm really stuck with me. To this day that warning sound, even for tests, really messes with me.
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
That yellowstone alarm reminded me of Lisbon. In 1755 there was a massive earthquake that basicaly destroyed the entire city and did massive damages, both in deaths( this happened in a sunday, during a praying time so a lot of people were in churches and whatnot) and in destroying buildings. Of course modern buildings nowadays do have some protection vs earthquakes in that area, but there are a lot of old buildings there, and experts say an earthquake like that can happen every 200 years there. And the later it happens the stronger it gets Edit: Should also mentioned that since the quake originated in the ocean, there was also a big tsunami afterwards, if im not mistaken it reached areas that were 10km away from coastline (not 100% sure on this one). And "funny" thing is, we never really had big issues with earthquakes except from this one, unlike Portugal's archipelagos which are right on top of the cracks and next to volcanoes
@@tiagotiagot i dont know the details but i heard that one of the new things while rebuilding the city (in 1755) were some wooden structures inside the walls to spread the impact. Of course today we probaly have more modern options/materials, but im not sure as im neither an architect nor an enginner, and i also dont live in Lisbon. Sorry but cant help you there, although some quick research will probaly answer you
The EAS in Japan are actually way more horrifying with the alerts from your phone, sounds like zapping in audio form... hard to describe but getting rocked back and forth while it's blaring is terrible lmao love this vid Muta :)
Okay I may be a horror enthusiast (and have kinda bad sensory/anxiety responses to loud noises) but this shit right here is the stuff nightmares are made of--- For a while I've been looking around for some kind of fictional horror series that can scare me on such a primal level that I would lose sleep over, and I think I have already found it without realizing it Tbh these EAS sounds wouldn't be that bad if they weren't associated with fear, death, and sometimes slim chances of survival. Like really all it is is a weird crusty noise for the most part. Sure they could be unsettling anyway, but if we never had associated these noises with horrible things it would be nothing more than crusty jumpscare noise. Kinda similar to how fireworks can be triggering to certain people (such as war veterans) but it can also be just another snap-crackle-pop rice krispy to others. Weird thing to think about
I agree totally. The only real EBS broadcasts I've experienced are for Tornadoes, but I've always found myself watching other fictional/non-fictional EAS videos. And they ALWAYS peak my heart rate just as much as real life.
they are supposed to activate your fight or flight instincts in the event of an actual emergency so that’s why they sound scary. It’s supposed to make you scared on purpose.
The Irish EAS tone you see on TH-cam is the real one, I remember hearing it as a kid and when I heard it again it actually made me freeze with intense shivers
If you want to listen to a more "ominous" EAS thing from Japan, I'd recommend watching Abroad in Japan's video on one happening during the North Korean Ballistic Missile tests near Japan. That was quite an S tier alert. I've also never thought that the EAS there also automatically turned the TV out of nowhere lol.
That low rumble you play in these videos is oddly comforting for me because my apartment is located right behind some train tracks and when a freight train goes by that same low rumble emanates through the air.
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.
I’ve been watching these channels for years now, like honestly since 2012. They are some of the freakiest and most creative videos available with full plots and all. There are a few other channels available out there that do 45 minute to hour long videos that have like news casts and all so I highly recommend these videos.
used to hear emergency broadcast tests very late in the night when i was a kid and had the tv on at my dads. everytime i hear it, and to this day, my heart always sinks immediately upon hearing it, its so eerie.
Big apologies if the background rumble sounds a tad to harsh under certain conditions. I didn't factor a lot of bass headphones under the edit and stuck to my speakers as the reference. Will fix this for next time

Hi muta I love ur content

Hi
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"

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.

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.

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
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"
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.
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

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.
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.

Want that the Manhattan project movie?
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.
@@Tejazer 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.

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

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.
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.

I remember a few years ago when the EAS systems were messed up somehow, I don't know if it was just at my house or area or what but the speaker's voice was pitched about 2-3 octaves too low so when there were tonadoes or missing kids it would be 110x creepier than usual. The voice was so deep
Oh yeah I remember that. They set the transmitter to a different sample frequency than the digital interface.
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? 🤔
Coming across this video a week after psyching myself out with a Zombie EAS scenario is amazing. The zombie one has been my favorite so far since its a slow descent from epidemic illness to strange assaults to homicidal flesh eating monsters, government collapse, and orders to kill your loved ones if necessary. There’s something so vividly and deeply terrifying about televisions being nothing but warnings while the threat of being eaten alive looms right outside your window. It’s one of few horror concepts that have actually made me think twice about turning the lights off.
I've been feeling the same way for this past month, especially since I am a minority of Eastern European decent. Much like how Asians-Americans were being blamed and beaten for starting the pandemic. I've had very stressful days and sleepiness nights over this, I've tried to tell my friends and family over these glaring issues, yet they don't seem to care that much or even be that threatened by such problems.
It's truly relieving to have someone who can and will listen and relate to you over current global situations.
Thanks Muta.
I am eastern european too , I have family in eastern europe however I do not live in eastern europe i live in western europe.
I am very worried since the country where my family lives is a neighbor of Ukraine and we've had beef in the past with Russia.
My friends know that im eastern european but yet they make nazi jokes that arent even funny :( and they dont care when i talk to them about it. I am stressing a lot that Russia will invade Ukraine and then invade the country my family is in it stresses me out so much :c
Stay strong slavic brother 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@@SHinierthennyourforehead I feel very sorry for you and your family, I hope you and them will be safe during these turbulent times. My family has roots mainly in Poland and the Balkans, regions that have very divisive support for either NATO or Russia.
Hopefully, we can get through this together and come out better than we started. ♥️
It’s the Chinese government’s fault honestly. People are ignorant to show hostility towards Asians when their government is truly the one at fault
@@SHinierthennyourforehead if your speaking about the USA. Asians were not blamed and attacked for the pandemic except in low income low education areas from criminals. Our government did nothing but defend Asian Americans and also defended China in general
@@youdontknowenough9059 ah ok but will America support us in War? I don't know what you're talking about really , but ok
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
😂😂😂😂😂😂
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
It happens all the time time in the Phoenix area. It happened once when I was at the mall and it was crazy. Probably 2000 people there and all of a sudden there was no talking, and sirens coming from everyone’s phone in everyone’s direction. Luckily 99% of the time the alerts are just for sandstorms, which are basically harmless and a very common occurrence in the valley. The only danger they could potentially cause if for drivers, but luckily if you’re driving you’ll be able to see the sandstorm coming from a while away before the alert even comes on and have time to get off the road
It’s nice to see such a small niche community be recognized by larger creators, thanks for covering us, great content :)
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
I'm a FEMA-certified EAS/IPAWS instructor. The "daisy-chain" concept is not true, it requires a CAP-compliant message sent through a very specific gateway (EAS-OPEN), you cannot trigger IPAWS without sending a message on that dedicated gateway.
That being said, thank you for taking the time to bring up the FCC fines thing. I see too many people abusing this system meant to protect people in ARGs/creepy videos, and they aren't aware of how dangerous it is to "normalize" a tone meant to inform us, and how they're risking litigation.
The system won't get triggered by audio being played on speakers?
@@tiagotiagot he literally just said that and you obviously understood it will enough to type that so why even bother
@@zeening I'm trying to confirm whether I interpreted what she wrote correctly.
TH-cam videos aren't broadcasts, though. Thus, the legal side of it does not apply since it's meant to protect against false headers entering the infrastructure. I wanna say the EAS itself is older than IPAWS and CAP.
That said, I do think perhaps there is something to the moral/psychological side of your argument though. I suppose, even though there's a tangible difference between a YT video labelled as fiction and the real thing interrupting programming, there may still be an element of desensitization.
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.
What frightens me is that in Japan, some of those EASs look very calm, strict and "enjoyable", which gives me goosebumps, because it reminds me always that how common natural disasters are in Japan. It's like, why should they make that much of panic with a horrifying alarm?
Anyway, I hope that i don't need to hear alarms due to military involvement in my life, or if i hear a siren, it's just about some fire.
if people are calm and orderly they are more likely to get to safety, panic just causes more problems
Im the same way but include military planes and helicopters. Idky but hearing them makes my hair stand on end
I know earthquake alarms are not like that. I've seen streamers in small earthquakes recently and the sounds are like a screeching sound seconds apart followed by a female Japan voice.
The Japanese are trained to immediately turn into a calm and clear reporter when an earthquake happens. Look some videos of Japanese reporters reacting to earthquakes
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
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.
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
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
I've only ever seen any kind of alert once in my life, it was last year when a recycling plant in my city had a pretty severe fire, we got a warning to close all windows, doors and ventilation, and to stay indoors because of potential toxic gas. But these things have made me wonder if our big reliance on the internet for most of our infrastructure haven't left us more vulnerable than we really need to be.
Before the internet people watched live fires like they were tv so I'm not sure this is worded quite correctly
@@mightymeatymech There was a musical number in an old Dutch soap (long story, they had musical soap operas, mostly lost because they largely didn't preserve the episodes, only the songs.) Anyway, a little boy talks about how he likes spending time with his grandpa. Something around the lines of, "we'll go to beach, or, maybe if we'll lucky, go watch a fire together."
@@mightymeatymech I should maybe have clarified that emergency broadcasting made me think about it, not a recycling center on fire.
Are you from Leverkusen, Germany? That exact thing happened there no too long ago
@@martingroebrinkhaus7342 Are you?

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
I’ll never forget a few years ago when I did a TH-cam deep dive on Hurricane Katrina. I’ll never forget the civil emergency alert, it gave me chills.
EAS tones have always brought out my worst anxiety attacks. I remember one of the worst mistakes as a kid was falling asleep to Adult Swim only to be woken up by my old source of light: the emergency broadcast system test and it's fear-inducing sounds. It sometimes made me too scared to move
I have been down a rabbit hole watching these since this upload. Have freaked myself out good
As someone who lives 30 minutes away from Yellowstone, especially as a child every time there was an earthquake I'd always get a lot of anxiety that this was Yellowstone becoming active.
I remember in high school we had a larger one than normal and people started generally screaming and freaking out thinking it was Yellowstone.
At this point I accept I'll die if it becomes active and I hope it's quick.
Dude same, I live like an hour away. I try to ignore it but some nights ill sit there and feel genuinely sick thinking about yellowstone.
Soup Emporium here on youtube made a video about yellowstone, and the tl;dr is: no. Yellowstone wont end the US ☺️
Best position to be in when that baby goes off is either as far away as possible or right on top of it. The ladder saves you from having to figure out how to eat when the ash kills your crops for the year and cools the earth down dramatically. Man that'll suck...
@22:45 Reminds me of Nena's 99 Luftballons. Cold War started when missiles are detected on radar when they're just red balloons.
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
"this may not be the video for you if you have bad anxiety"
Me, who has terrible anxiety about world-ending scenarios: eh, I'm sure it'll be fine
If everyone else dies then idc

Can we give props to Muta for putting himself on a watchlist for looking up nuclear casualty maps and all these scenarios in which the US could fall all so he could make this video?
I love how you talking about it as this "sh*t hit the fans" scenario of extreme crysis that hopefully would never happen
while here we get those alarms on a weekly basis
yea this second alarm of Israel that you say is horrifying, that's a routine here for people who live close to the strip. being constantly bombed by the Hammas organization. kids as young as 3 years old already knows the ins and out of their shelters like the back of their hand from the amount of times they been in them for days after days
There's a whole youtube community around the EAS system and scary story telling, very interesting stuff
I used to be into this stuff and made videos about it when I was younger.
@@Godcomingsoon …. Naa I’m good
No kidding,
Have any youtubers you recommend??
@@Moon_Presence thecat627
This is brilliant. I live in tornado ally, and the weather alerts are mad here. But now I'm turning EAS back on, so I have a reason to drink a glass of bourbon every time it goes off. I'm learning so much from this channel.
I've actually been a fan of fictional EAS scenario videos for a while, I find them really entertaining and quite a mood. May I recommend "Rising Heat" by RadioactiveGirl00 or "EF6" by EmceeCh4p if you haven't seen them. They can be quite cheesy but entertaining imo. Glad to see this content getting some recognition because it's actually really cool.
By the way, the fucking background audio is horrifying and put me on edge throughout this entire video lmao
You have to watch “the devils awakening” by original way back mate.
Also you should watch liminality by I think electric fanatic
Not directly eas (but similar), but I bet you'd enjoy The Last Broadcast uploaded by Peace is our profession

I grew up outside of Washington, D.C. in the 1980's, so thoughts of a nuclear holocaust always haunted me as a kid. When I got older and the threat lessened, I jumped feet first into the topic. It is kinda fascinating how we as humans have stepped to the brink of annihilating ourselves on more than one occasion, and someone who is usually unknown and infinitely more cool headed that the rest gently pulls us back from the edge. Still, I wonder how much of the EAS would function in a first strike mode if a bad actor were to detonate a high altitude nuke to trigger an EMP and take out most telecommunications systems... kinda like what the US did to itself during the Starfish Prime nuclear test in 1962.
Stay safe out there friends.
You ever heard about the Soviet nuclear submarine that decided to not launch its nuclear warheads after it got 3 positive launches of ICBMs headed for Moscow? All of their gear confirmed it, yet thankfully the crew decided not to retaliate. WW3 could’ve started that day.
I’m so glad I live in Sudbury, ON nowadays. The closest target to us is Petawawa because of the military base which is almost 3 hours away and there’s a huge chunk of thick boreal forest between here and there. Plus we have SNOLAB which is probably one of the most survivable places in the country if not the continent in the event of nuclear war, not like they’d let normal civilians inside but still I think it’s cool lol.
Wow, I was not expecting you to talk about something like this, but it’s really appreciated having you talk about a bit of a niche topic and one that I’m interested in
The EBS is the scariest, my country had them for years, always thinking the cold war was happening, before our country dissolved in 1991
24:11 when the shadow in the corner starts moving
As a kid I was home at night when we had a tornado warning on the screen during a strong storm. Getting that buzzer warning sound with this dark red screen warning us about the storm really stuck with me. To this day that warning sound, even for tests, really messes with me.
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

That yellowstone alarm reminded me of Lisbon. In 1755 there was a massive earthquake that basicaly destroyed the entire city and did massive damages, both in deaths( this happened in a sunday, during a praying time so a lot of people were in churches and whatnot) and in destroying buildings. Of course modern buildings nowadays do have some protection vs earthquakes in that area, but there are a lot of old buildings there, and experts say an earthquake like that can happen every 200 years there. And the later it happens the stronger it gets
Edit: Should also mentioned that since the quake originated in the ocean, there was also a big tsunami afterwards, if im not mistaken it reached areas that were 10km away from coastline (not 100% sure on this one).
And "funny" thing is, we never really had big issues with earthquakes except from this one, unlike Portugal's archipelagos which are right on top of the cracks and next to volcanoes
How do I know whether my building got that earthquake protection you mention?
@@tiagotiagot i dont know the details but i heard that one of the new things while rebuilding the city (in 1755) were some wooden structures inside the walls to spread the impact. Of course today we probaly have more modern options/materials, but im not sure as im neither an architect nor an enginner, and i also dont live in Lisbon. Sorry but cant help you there, although some quick research will probaly answer you
The EAS in Japan are actually way more horrifying with the alerts from your phone, sounds like zapping in audio form... hard to describe but getting rocked back and forth while it's blaring is terrible lmao love this vid Muta :)
Yeah I've seen that one watching streamers during an earthquake.
So a mecha godzilla sound effect. Sounds on point.
Okay I may be a horror enthusiast (and have kinda bad sensory/anxiety responses to loud noises) but this shit right here is the stuff nightmares are made of---
For a while I've been looking around for some kind of fictional horror series that can scare me on such a primal level that I would lose sleep over, and I think I have already found it without realizing it
Tbh these EAS sounds wouldn't be that bad if they weren't associated with fear, death, and sometimes slim chances of survival. Like really all it is is a weird crusty noise for the most part. Sure they could be unsettling anyway, but if we never had associated these noises with horrible things it would be nothing more than crusty jumpscare noise. Kinda similar to how fireworks can be triggering to certain people (such as war veterans) but it can also be just another snap-crackle-pop rice krispy to others. Weird thing to think about
I agree totally. The only real EBS broadcasts I've experienced are for Tornadoes, but I've always found myself watching other fictional/non-fictional EAS videos. And they ALWAYS peak my heart rate just as much as real life.
Off topic but I like your arts :3
they are supposed to activate your fight or flight instincts in the event of an actual emergency so that’s why they sound scary. It’s supposed to make you scared on purpose.
Oh, for me I just watch this for fun. Kinda scares me a bit, but I know from the fact that most of this isn't real. (The Non-fictional ones)
If you haven’t played any of the former fallout games not 76💩) but the older versions those make you think a lot about nuclear war.
"Russia vs NATO"
A little too real there muta...
The Irish EAS tone you see on TH-cam is the real one, I remember hearing it as a kid and when I heard it again it actually made me freeze with intense shivers
If you want to listen to a more "ominous" EAS thing from Japan, I'd recommend watching Abroad in Japan's video on one happening during the North Korean Ballistic Missile tests near Japan. That was quite an S tier alert.
I've also never thought that the EAS there also automatically turned the TV out of nowhere lol.
I heard that at least Japan’s tsunami warning jingle is supposed to do that.
@@Cae_Alethnas the beeps at the end
That's actually a genius idea
That low rumble you play in these videos is oddly comforting for me because my apartment is located right behind some train tracks and when a freight train goes by that same low rumble emanates through the air.
Listening on headphones makes it really annoying and I can't even make it through a few minutes of the video.
@@tlingitsoldier turn down 70hz in EQ works like a charm
@@tlingitsoldier Seriously. It was starting to make me nauseous after a while
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.
I’ve been watching these channels for years now, like honestly since 2012. They are some of the freakiest and most creative videos available with full plots and all. There are a few other channels available out there that do 45 minute to hour long videos that have like news casts and all so I highly recommend these videos.
used to hear emergency broadcast tests very late in the night when i was a kid and had the tv on at my dads. everytime i hear it, and to this day, my heart always sinks immediately upon hearing it, its so eerie.
