Empathy is usually entirely missing in tornado documentaries but your emphasis on it is refreshing. Also looking into the socioeconomic and religious factors as to why this happened the way it did is commendable.
Bangladesh was known as East Pakistan until 1971 when it gained independence from Pakistan. The Bangladeshi War of Independence followed the slow reaction from the other part of Pakistan following a devastating cyclone in 1970.
The Bhola Cyclone of 1970, the deadliest tropical cyclone worldwide with up to half a million deaths.
@@Thicc_Cheese_DipCat 5 hurricane with over 30 feet of storm surge going into an incredibly poor area without warning. What could possible go wrong?
@@stillchillin7580 As a child of my Parents who survived both Cyclones of 1999, You are absolutely right .
It was a very gruesome history for this areas people.
When we heard the history from our elders we notice the fear in Their twinkle!
My hometown is at Saturia In Manikganj.We are the victims of this disaster.
Today,
When the people see the cloud in the sky in the evening time every people of our area stopped their work and back to home especially who faced that terrific disaster.
😢😢😢
Thanks a lot Carly to talk about this tragedy.
Thank you for sharing, and I hope your people can heal
Womp
@@RichardSmith-ci5lzyou know , if you could shut up that would be very nice honey ;)
Very well done video that gave proper respect for the 1300 plus victims of this little known tornado.
Bangladesh in general is such a sad story. Basically just got out of a massive war, genocide, and massive hurricane that lead to famine just to be hit with several deadly tornados and drought.
A tornado that is 1 mile wide and stays on the ground for 58 miles, being labeled a 3.5 and nobody ever looking back is crazy! Thanks for what you do to inform people about tornadoes. I, like you, am sincerely fascinated by and drawn to tornadoes and have been binging your videos so you've taught me very much! Thank you
It's crazy how this region in Bangladesh is farther south than Miami, FL where tornadoes higher than EF-2 don't really seem to happen due to being in the oceanic tropics where there is a lack of favorable dynamics for strong tornadoes. However, the surrounding topography/geography in Bangladesh apparently makes the dynamics much different there.
They aren't really common in south FL but it wouldn't be impossible to have and EF3+ tornado there. Instances have happened where the atmospheric conditions for stronger tornadoes have fostered over south FL (predominately in the winter & early spring during an El Nino) but its usually a hit or miss scenario with a prominent fail mode. February 2nd 1998 is one that usually comes to mind. That day saw a very potent troughing setup over the gulf which brought strong winds in the 500 mb and a strong LL jet, the event ended up producing multiple large textbook supercells with strong couplets that thankfully stayed mostly over the Straits of Florida. Cuba however has recorded a few violent tornadoes over the past 30ish years, with the most recent being an EF4 that occurred in Havana on January 27, 2019.
Finally! Thank you for dedicating time and attention to this disaster. Thank you for showing these victims the respect they deserve and bringing awareness to the many other events this population has endured, that are practically and entirely unknown to the world.
Perfect example of "give respect, get respect". Viewers- and the world- are lucky to have you and your content, Carly. Well done!
R.I.P. to all those who perished. Good bless all of those who were affected.
Do an old lady a favor and do one about Tupelo MS, 1936. It was allegedly a monster storm but I always found it oddly fascinating and horrifying at the same time.
Bengali teacher of our school told about this day. His village home is Saturia, he was in class 6 on the day of the tornado. That day he was returning home from the market with his uncle when the tornado struck. By the grace of Allah, fortunately many of them survived that day. Many people close to my sir died in this fall. Finally, I would like to say that I pray for the forgiveness of the departed souls of those who have died
Carly, much to your credit, you always put the humanitarian aspect of these disasters in the forefront of your videos. They are informative and done on a level that everyone can relate to. Thank you.
What a first class video. Your narration is clear and respectful and your focus on the human tragedy takes an angle that is often (as you say) not as fully considered by the more technical presentations. You really do deserve high credit for this, very well done. Outstanding.
i love how you focus on the desensitization of the deaths. it really puts into perspective how bad things can get, and as someone who’s interested in very bizarre topics, i feel like i am very desensitized to these. thank you!
Ever since the movie twister came out in 1996, i was 9 yrs old and I've seen the movie over billion times, I've always be fascinated with tornadoes and everything else.
Therefore you were watching the movie 501,002.004008 time a year
Carly the quality of your work is unmatched. Your coverage of these events is always so respectful and compassionate and it really does a lot to drive home the impact and destructive power of these tornadoes
I watched some bs "top 5 tornadoes" video which mentioned this for about 2 minutes and the numbers devastated me. You have by far the highest quality tornado videos. Thoughtful. Compassionate. Informative. I thank you so much for your quality videos
Growing up in rural Kentucky fatalism was also a problem. Mom and I lived in a trailer next to family with basements and cellars but never sheltered during tornado warnings because mom believed "when it's your time to go you'll go".
I absolutely love that she covered this aspect, and I'm sorry you had to deal with that growing up. Can't imagine it helped with the fear, glad you made it through everything!
literally exactly what my dad said when he had the back door wide open, standing outside on the sidewalk while the mayfield EF4 tornado supercell was passing over our city (we didnt live in mayfield but close to it). i was trying to explain how dangerous the situation we were in was and got shut down with "if its our time to go theres nothing we can do about it!" its absolutely insane
@@spookz4649 God gave him legs so he could move to the storm celler, I bet that logic would have worked on him.
They don't just hit the USA, China, Italy and Canada have had bad tornadoes.
My mom is the exact same way. She'd rather sleep than go to shelter. Kentucky as well. We were even hit in 2012 by an EF-4 and have had several small EF-0s and EF-1s within half a mile of our house 🤷.
I love how our Tornado Lady broaches delicate topics without shaming the cultures of an affected area.
Your examination of tornadoes covers aspects so rarely covered by others. Thank you for shining a light on this disaster which I hadn't heard about before.
Bangladesh has one of the highest population densities in the world, and with the sort of housing that is cheap, relatively easy to build and maintain, and often made of poor quality materials, it's not altogether surprising that a tornado here would have such high numbers of fatalities and injuries, especially coupled with the poor infrastructure a poverty stricken country has to deal with on a day-to-day basis.
Implementing sirens and other early warning systems can inform people of what is going on, but there is also a great need for shelters and structures that will hold up better and provide more protection - almost every tornado video I've seen has an example of someone taking shelter in a basement, bathroom, tornado shelter or other perceived safe area, and I think there seems to be very few of those in places like Bangladesh, especially for the sheer number of people living there.
I can only hope any pray that as Bangladesh's economy continues to grow, that the country will be able to implement things that America has learned through the years, and lives will be saved in the future.
My thoughts exactly . . . where would those people go even if they did get warning? That looks like pretty flat country, no ditches to hide in, lots of debris flying around.
Your tornado videos feel personal and I think it’s something that’s lacking in most tornado videos. It’s like I experience it as your describing it, while others just focus on the awesomeness of the tornado, you make me feel like it was my town that was hit
These are truly great videos. As an aspiring filmmaker, the quality of your setup, your editing, narrative skills, choice of musical accompaniment and the ability to know when to let the story tell itself are borderline amazing. Keep up the great work.
Couldn't agree more.
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩♥️
Love the work you put out Carly!! It's absolutely amazing!!! And very informative!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you! I’m glad you are enjoying them ☺️
@@carlyannawx have u ever seen a tornado 🌪️?
@@carlyannawx I love your videos, great explainations of whats going, Im in the buffalo area, maybe you can do a video on that storm.
Yeah what you said about the lack of medical facilities after the Tri-State Tornado there were a number of cases of gangrene. I'm sure the same thing can be said took place during this weather disaster.
I'm so glad somebody finally made a video dedicated solely to this tornado. I always wondered what exactly was going on with the unusually high death toll. I also had no idea about the other high casuality tornadoes that occurred before that one. That whole area just seems to be a less than ideal place to reside in. Of course, everybody moving out is not a realistic strategy. The best idea I have is just reinforcing existing structures. That's easier said than done, though.
Finally tornados outside of the US draw attention too in TH-cam so I really appreciate your work! Maybe we will see you at Ryan Halls streams again? Keep going, I appreciate your work.
You are not only informative, and knowledgeable, but you tell the stories of these disasters with sensitivity and empathy for the victims. Thankyou
There was so much missing from the scenes of the aftermath. There wasn't a parade of ambulances and emergency response vehicles, paramedics quickly on the scene, police officers digging through rubble, or anything. The debris field looks vastly different from what we are used to seeing. There were no washers and dryers, refrigerators, cars and trucks, or any of the other myriad items that make up Western culture that we see strewn about. It's tough emotionally watching an event like this happen somewhere like Bangladesh. Quite humbling and a reminder to be grateful for what I have. Great video Carly. Namaste.
Well, with the "low" F3.5 rating this tornado received, I have to point out that the facts about having no standardized buildings or codes to refer to, whomever did survey the damage stabbed in the dark. Certainly, no one from the US or the European States was sent to offer a survey. We are discussing an event in a devistatingly poor country that has almost no respect in the world arena, where most people know so little of the country that it might as well be on another planet... We're seeing the infamous "It is not MY/OUR Problem" at play.
Without buildings to review, the next thing to look for would have been ground damage, windrow, ground scouring, and the damage done to livestock. How many were killed and injured, and just how the deaths and injuries occurred, along with how many people were blown around and how far, what results of their being picked up by the twister would also be an indicator of F-scale rating I would assume. We could use the Jarrel F5's damage to the animals killed there as a guide, for instance.
I agree that the width, speed and length of track and duration is a clue too. Idoubt any F/EF1-2 torndaoes are very wide, correct? And the damage shown, how entire villages were left bare of structures and living beings points to a much higher rating, that is just common sense.
If any country needs a state of the art tornado warning system, Bangladesh certainly is number one in my opinion. But how to help them accept this and then implement it, when this is still a very 'poor' country? A country overlooked constantly by the rest of the world, even unknown to many in the West... The people there deserve better than they have in place, just because they are Humans too.
Excellent work, Carly Anna WX! I truly enjoy and am interested in your work bringing tornadoes from other places in the world to us, a long overdue and fascinating topic! Looking forward to more in the future!
You raise a lot of really great points, many questions that I still would like answers to myself. What was so frustrating about this event, was that there was so little information to work with. And it’s exactly as you’ve said, the rest of the world easily will turn a blind eye.
I have seen some smaller improvements in articles about the meteorology association in Bangladesh. They recently implemented a more accurate lightening forecast system which is incredible for the region. It’s definitely not fast progress, but I am really holding out hope for them to get tornado warnings and shelters! ❤
I'd have a #2 which given the history of violent tornadoes and extremely high population density, the Netherlands you'd think would have such a thing. But the Dutch leave tornado sirens as an afterthought while building structures for the much more common weaker tornadoes while often lacking basements and proper tornado shelters.
There's been multiple F-4 intensity tornadoes in 1925 and 1927 with a F-4 tornadic waterspout in 1972 which came ashore along with a 1950 F-5 in the small and very densely populated country. Also missed a 2015 F-4 which stayed over rural areas but destroyed a farm injuring no one.
Edit: The low level of deaths seems to be a matter of luck as the most violent tornadoes have dodged densely populated areas in favor of small villages in Gelderland or Friesland. The Friesland one was probably as deadly (7 dead, 90 injured) as it was due to the fact it's too low in elevation for basements.
Dr. Fujita actually went there in person and scaled it. He was among almost a dozen American meteorologists that went there. The issue was the villages being almost entirely constructed through gravitational and non securing methods, meaning without screws or nails. Hurricanes in the region with winds at 120 mph have resulted in similar structural damage as seen here. By all accepted standards, F3.5 is actually generous.
I would think the water table would be too high in much of Bangladesh to build any underground shelters.
Also, with monsoons, anything underground would fill with water?
Who knows how many died from starvation, viruses, and other second hand effects of this disaster. This is mortifying.
Thanks for sharing this little known horrific event. Great editing and music selection too. Very tasteful. And through.
Good job Carly. I used to be an emergency preparedness engineer, for radiological emergencies, but the discipline is the same. By the end of the video you had me already designing an emergency response plan for them in my head. 🙂 It's a mindset that is hard to break.
Love your storytelling, intelligence and great content. You speak with a lot of respect and think out of the box. You're an example. Many thanks and all the best!
Carly I adore your videos! I appreciate your even keeled reporting on such tragic events. And this video was top tier fantastic work. Nobody really discusses the tornadoes in other places besides North America. And I needed to see this today to remind me that I am very lucky in some ways... life has been rough for a few years now and I was feeling very beaten down but thank you for reminding me to be grateful for all I do have. 💙
Very well done. Thank you for highlighting this terrible tragedy.
Another great video Carly. Glad to see you feeling better too! Tomorrow we get beat on again my Mother Nature here in NorCal. Running out of places to put the water.
And of course we'll never be able to judge the full strength of this tornado because of how shotty the construction of buildings are in Bangladesh. So what would be considered a tornado of lower intensity here in the United States could still do great damage in Bangladesh.
True, but looking at that arboreal damage it's clear it was an intense tornado. Snapped off and debarked trees requires some strong winds.
I'm not sure it's shoddy construction insomuch as it's out in the middle of nowhere houses are built like that because they can't afford are able to build better houses, and the houses that are there are mostly for other forms of natural hazards, rains and flooding IIRC
In the cities, looking at you Dhaka, everyone is busy bribing the officials to look the other way, so a five or six storey building is built to the cheapest possible, flimsiest possible standards, then the building owners pay more bribes to let them do what they want with the buildings.
My grandfather's house is a little far from that area, only that area was hit by this terrible cyclone, many people died and many were left crippled. Very dangerous event.
Thank you for the uploaded my friend
babe wake up, new carly vid just dropped. youre my favourite tornado channel, second only to pecos hank (the man, the legend)
Super well done, Carly- thank you.
The number of fatalities is mind boggling. The town I currently live in in rural WV has less than 1000 people. I can't even fathom the entire towns population and them some being wiped from existence
Never stop making these videos I love your content you'll have to do an entire episode holding blaze 😺
Carly, such an amazing video! You so good with it and analyzing and gathering all the date. ❤️❤️ You
Maybe the most depressing deep dive you've done, with good reason. It's easy to look the other way in our privileged economic place in the US, but you face these things head on and encourage us to face them with you. Great job bringing so many things to light none of us probably ever would've known otherwise.
🙌 was talking to you about this on twitter after your last video and here we are!
really good video once again! would love to see an analysis video like this on the CZ republic F4 tornado 2021 or the france high end F4 tornado 2008
Dunno how much you do Hurricanes as opposed to Tornadoes, but after seeing this, I'm kind of curious now to see you cover the Great Bhola Cyclone of 1970, when Bangladesh was still "East Pakistan".
This is a great channel!! Been learning so much from you as someone who's never experienced such a disaster. Thank you!
I was a baby when the jarrel tornado hit 15 miles from my home..I’m still traumatized. Nevertheless I’m still incredibly interested in them you do a great job keep it up!!!
Excellent video, Carly! So informative! Thank you for educating us about this tragedy; I’m sure we all appreciated your respect and sensitivity.
Such a great video, as always. I really appreicate your covering other parts of the world, your equal care in explaining the meteorological factors unique to a region or event, and your attention to human experiences and the challenges each community faces... what it must have been like for the people there, at that time.
I find it sobering that I didn't know about this storm, even though my own high school was wrecked by an F2 unusually far north near Wilmington, Delaware on June 9, 1989, just a few weeks after this devastating event. I'd think that would still have been in the news, and I''d have remembered it, but I don't.
Your observations about fatalism interfering with emergency preparedness are spot on. On the one hand, it can prevent people from considering mitigation to be an option or taking such measure seriously (see all the people justifying lack of vaccination, masking, etc during the pandemic because "everybody's going to get it anyway", until the virus got out of control and it became a self-fulfilling prophecy, whereas past outbreaks of SARS and MERS were contained.)
Yet on the other hand, I understand why people in impoverished areas with limited or no services are fatalistic: it's rational and pragmatic.
In a completely different context, i was just watching a documentary on Europe prior to WWI, when the elite classes had so many privileges, while workers were only beginning to glimpse things like trains and lighting, giving them some inkling life could be better, or they might expect more than the situation they were born into. They had no rights, no vote, no safety net. They were beginning to ASK for it. But you have to see the possibility to ask.
Imagine living out in those bamboo huts in the country farming your land. You're not going to expect ambulances and doctors, let alone a tornado warning system, if you've never heard of such things. You fatalistically know that disease kills people, floods wash people away, and you have to face what fate gives you with your own two hands. It can make people passive. But it can also help people cope with a hard life.
However, it sounds like Bangladesh has in fact improved a lot in the last 40 years, despite being hammered with floods, cyclones, famines, and increasing problems from sea level rise since as a river delta it's quickly going under (causing more people to migrate to cities, which is resulting in an urban poor problem).
The search and rescue after those fabric factories collapsed wasn't great, but there WERE a lot of doctors and medical professionals.
They've had a lot more practice dealing with floods and even that tsunami, so hopefully they'll be at least a little better at getting out to areas struck by a tornado (and at least it's easier than flood damage?) They have more helicopters.
And there are MANY more aid organizations staged all around the world with supplies ready to jump in to help with various kinds of natural catastrophes.
So while I fear you're right that they don't have buildings or tornado warning systems, meaning loss of life from another tornado could be significant, I think they are at least a little better equipped to handle the aftermath.
And, as you say, while their scientists' primary focus is on floods, climate change, etc, they may be tackling tornadoes now as well. Let's hope somebody sees your video and makes this a graduate thesis or project.,
Gained independence from Pakistan*. How crazy is it to see a tornado death toll over 1000 that’s insane
Yeah. And it was actually a cyclone that killed ~350,000 people in 1970 that caused the independence of Bangladesh.
You might enjoy looking into the June 3rd 1980 tornado outbreak in Grand Island, Nebraska. It’s rarely talked about but it’s quite interesting. Seven tornados touched down that night in Grand Island in just over two hours. The supercells moved over the city at only 8 mph and of the seven tornadoes, three of them were anticyclonic; and the tornadoes did not move in a straight line, with most looping back over their own path at least once.
Spending Christmas Eve with Carly Anna vids. Merry Christmas all 🎄❤
Great video with only the known facts presented also very clear and precise explanation of the tragedy. Well done Carly 🇦🇺
I really like that you touch on weather history outside of the United States. Thank you, more please!
Thank you Carly great job on deadliest tornado. Jerry from Texas🤠
Another fantastic video. Thank you Carly
I don't want to down-turn the video by any means, but in regards to disaster recovery in the states, it's not really quite as cut and dry as one might expect. The state I live in, Texas, has been denied federal aid on numerous occasions, with the most recent denial back in 2019 that I can find. So largely as a state, we're on our own when it comes to weather-related recovery efforts, with any help coming from surrounding states most likely. Feds do nothing for us really.
Anyway, that aside, it's always interesting to see stories of tornadic events internationally. Maybe as an idea for a future video, I'd like to see something on Japan, or perhaps Korea or Taiwan. Probably areas some may not expect to see tornadoes quite that often, but do occur.
Also, I'll never say no to seeing more cat. Even if it's just the tail. lol But more cat is never a bad thing.
About international disasters, recovery is usually never talked about aside from a small paragraph at the bottom of the article, i agree with you I find it frustrating...
Excellent job Carley!
Great video. Problem was the population is so dense. Next you can't dig a basement in mud! You dig down a foot and hit water. The population is so dense people were actually killing people once the became airborne! Very tragic!
yay new video
Very nice video indeed. I wasn't familiar with this tornado area of the world Very Sad. Great to see your documentary videos coming again!
Perfect timing to watch this and your new video
Great video! Thank you! Grateful for your work
Ironically, I have never heard of a tornado that have received an 0.5 rating before
Amazing job on this one. Lots of feeling ❤
Honestly I never really thought about how many people died or where the most deadly tornado occurred but I gotta say both answers surprised me. Gonna guess very few people know of this, good to bring attention to it!
I am not surprised that tornadoes have such a large loss of life there, that is a very densely populated place. And back in that day you know darn well their warnings were no where near what even ours were.
You're a good egg Carly. : )
Maybe, on another positive note: infrastructure has improved, too. Meaning help and goods can reach affected regions faster. Its not much but, yeah... its an improvement.
my friend recently had an ef1 go close to his house and he said it was insane me myself the rollling fork ms tornado came at me and my family thanks carly 4 all u do
p.s. the roling fork ms tornado was at its end stages when it came by me ;)
Another great video. Thanks. 👍
very interesting indeed. very interesting video Carly! very sad.
Another great video. I am impressed with your compassion. Are you a degreed meteorologist?
Oh yes a new video I've watched every video about 3 times now I put them on when I'm going to sleep. Not that they send me to sleep.
The whole Fujita scale is B freaking S. They determine wind speed by how much damage is done... really! What they don't take into account is how fast the storm is moving . Seems that ef5's are only given to powerful tornadoes that hit urban areas with the exception of the jurrell tornado. With the estimated wind speed, the loss of life, and the destruction of infrastructure, this tornado should have been rated a high-end ef5.
I feel for Bangladesh. Deadliest tornado also the deadliest cyclone hit them.
IMO you deserve a standing ovation for this video just due to the lack of information there is regarding this event. You got a solid 30 minute video out of something that in my experience is nearly impossible to find any substantial information on. Bravo.
Carly have you ever heard anything regarding a legendary whirlpool that's supposedly killed hundreds of people in Bangladesh?
1989, I suspect that this year is not anymore relevant than its previous year or any year following, but.......
This was the year of my senior year and assumed graduation.
So many memories and adventures, bonding and learned a little about love, a lot about women.
I’m curious I have been trying to do my own research about this event for awhile but is there any photos or video of the twister at all or no?
I doubt it given how poor this area was, and how expensive video was in the 80s.
❤❤❤ love your videos thank u what a treat
Very well done as usual young lady !
Love your video's very very well done!
Thanks!
You are a boon to all of us that follow you. Now I have to share a holy moly that I just went though. When I seen Blaze's tail at the end of the video it looked like a snake handing out on your shoulder. Wow I am still catching my breath. Lol
You have to think of Bangladesh as not having first rate services of any kind.many people had no radio. No warning services. Extreme weather.
man i been watching a lot of reed timmer's storm chasing videos and that lead me to finding out about this tornado that happened in my country.. and i didnt even know lmao
Nice job as usual
While I believe some early warning systems would help. There's also a severe lack of protective places to take shelter from severe weather.
Could you please do a video detailing how Americans n the 1800s dealt with tornadoes? Maybe even possibly include how the early native Americans dealt with tornadoes.
To good young lady Weather Nerd ... Thank you !!! Neat Research ! Stuff we wouldn't Know ...
So I have never been to Bangladesh, but I lived in Mali West Africa while in the Peace Corps. I lived in a mud hut with a straw roof. When you live in mud huts with grass roofs, you have no way to take cover. There are no inner rooms. Probably not even a sturdy table to get under. So even if there was a warning system, there wouldn’t be any way for these people to take cover. Until you have seen this sort of poverty one cannot understand fatalistic thoughts regarding nature. There truly is nothing to do about it. And the “hospital” system is probably just a series of block buildings scattered here and there with almost no medical supplies. It’s truly another level of poor in the third world.
I am from Bangladesh. Thank you for this video. One correction Bangladesh got its independence from Pakistan in 1971
what a great video!!!
An interesting one would be the double f5 tornadoes in eastern Iowa 1968
The societal, economic, political, ideological and geographic conditions in Bangladesh really serves to exacerbate natural disasters. Vast quantities of them are already fast heading towards being climate refugees. It goes without saying that they don't deserve the suffering brought on by these disastrous events.
