I just want to say I'm grateful for everything I have, watching this video has made me appreciate my life I wish them nothing but help
👍👍🌝
Those money-making resorts should step up and help them.
@Jeff Lee What a heartless comment. These people just lost family and their homes. Their homeland was destroyed but you're calling them lazy bums cause they don't want to stay on an island with dead bodies?
@Jeff Lee You stand in the sun in the HEAT, hungry and thirty around confusion and see how you like it.
Jeff Lee Stfuuu, this nation isn’t have as small as both those countries. They lost they lives, there walking past dead bodies everyday. Have you seen the pictures? What can they do but sit down, they have just been through tragedy and they need help. There not being lazy bums like someone sitting on a computer screen. FR GTFO
@Jeff Lee These people would have died off a long time ago if the US hasn't been stepping in to help them. They might as well become the 51st state of the US.
@@tropicallymixed. They would not exsit without aid form the US, they would have been gone many decades ago. They should be making their houses out of concrete like the smarter countries do.
Where are all the Celebrities & Pro athletes that own big mansions in the Bahamas? They need to step up also & help to...they have access to private jets, helicopters & yachts. Not one word from all of them. Shame.
I heard sean connery was ok and helping a local hospital ....
jan smith Deandre Ayton and Buddy Hield are donating towards the cause
I think Jan is referring to big stars like Drake, Oprah, Miley Cyrus the list goes on
Hey K-dashians.. What about all your money all your billions why aren't you helping these people out instead of taking pictures of your big butts. Got to answer to the Lord for that.
Don't expect these people to help poor people they feel they should spend it the way they want to they have no regard for the suffering of people. They would rather buy a expensive mansion they barely use, that has twenty rooms, and they don't even walk in half of them. While complaining humanity is destroying the environment when they have wasted resources on big mansions, and things they don't need. They would rather pay thousands of dollars on ugly clothes, and purses they use one time it seems. There are cheaper things that look a hell of a lot better. This is the disease of narcissism everything has to be perfect even if it looks ridiculous to the rest of us, but anyway I hope one day they snap out of it, and find the real truth out there. Help others instead of giving to just charity that is apart of the organizations that control them. There is so much they could do, but their image is not as good as they think. I'm happy some did help if they did.
Got money for wars but can't feed the poor-2pac
The words or true. Governments exchange money not the people. The people the children They need help. Have a heart
C U the money we use isnt even real money, its all fiat.
True
@DonkeyLips McGee Does it really go there or is the elite lying about that? I heard groups like Red Cross are not what we think.
🙊💔
@DonkeyLips McGee 8
Government should have mandatory evacuated these people.
fork u fork face
You can’t evacuate a whole island. Where they supposed to go? How they supposed to get there?
Preferably not on an island.
The US coast guard and civilians moved over 500,000 people during 9/11.
Maybe people should learn to live above sea level
@@jedwardswalker So the Bahamas was underwater all this time? I had no idea, Mr. Genius.
Meanwhile everyone is worried about whether or not the hurricane was supposed to hit Alabama
tri5 ETHan yeah if people would stop focusing on attacking each other over little stupid things and lend a hand instead, we’d advance so much more as humans
KappaW lol ok
White Midas exactly. And it would help a lot if Trump would just admit he was wrong and people stop clowning him for it and making him get even more riled up. He’s like an 8 year old. At some point you have to stop.
@@JamecBond Lol then you haven't really been following the hurricane lol. All of the mainstream media is covering the Alabama Trump thing instead of the actually Hurricane and it's victims.
@@JamecBond u
I don't blame these people for their frustration, I hope its directed at THEIR government.
Why don’t the cruise ships come and pick them up and take them out of there..... they make millions and can surely afford to do a kind deed
maria malehi they actually did do that for about 1.5 thousand people
Michael Pomales when , what cruise lines did this ?
NonyaBusiness! Well who did ? Name the cruise lines that did
@@MimaLaReina Iirc, it was Bahama Paradise. Something like that. The ship was the Grand Celebration. They were able to get into Freeport on Grand Bahama. The ports are destroyed, the waters are littered with debris and sunken ships. It's not as easy as you think.
@@MimaLaReina The Grand Celebration has been evacuating the victims and is still continuing to. It's been all over the news. In addition, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian are all sending ships loaded with supplies (which they're donating). Also, Carnival is donating $2m in cash; Disney, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean are all donating $1m apiece in cash. The cruise ships are also transporting doctors, medics, firefighters and other rescue workers volunteering their time.
There are so many Haitian migrants waiting to board that boat. These migrants built a shantytown on that island called The Mudd which has been shredded to pieces. I do not think The Bahamas capital of Nassau can endure so many people. Haiti needs to help many of their nationals that are there.
Haiti can't help its own people, much less anyone else.
They too poor and not very smart.
Matt Jones the Haitian government ain’t poor, they just don’t care to help their people. Tourists gets treated better in Haiti than Haitians themselves
Cuba is not far away
@Stephen Anthony lorf have mercy whay did i just read? Must have been a typo
And you are telling me only 43 deaths.... stop playing
All those luxury cruisers can transport those people.
Where would they go? Who's going to pay for food and water?
No, the cruise liners know they'll trash the rooms and make it smell that will never go away.
Let us pray for all the lives in danger.😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Action helps not praying
It was god's will.. Genesis 50:20 “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.”
What are you praying for Magical Tooth Fairy to come down and help you that was the case it would have never happened in the first place God doesn't exist
personally, I would help. Not pray. Praying does not help. Psalm 135:6
- Whatever the LORD pleases, He does, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps
John Days what 💀
I'm just amazed they are driving in the cars torn up by the storm. Missing fenders, headlights, broken windows... If those cars were people, they would be heroes taking their last breath helping people before going to the junk yard
You guys think if we stop dumping trash in the ocean and stuff, Mother Nature would go easier on us? It’s worth a try right?
Edit-you guys do realize it’s a joke/something right? It’s like how the Greeks had gods to explain everything.
Mmmmmm mother nature isn't an autonomous being with foresight and grudges
maybe sacrifice your first born son.
"Mother Nature" had nothing to do with this Man Made Storm !!! Try Again
Maybe like the compassion that mother nature showed the dinosaurs?
Mother nature didn't drop nuclear bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima with horrific outcomes. Man did remember.
We must all change our attitudes and care for everything this planet provides, not just our selfish selves or mother nature will become more unbalanced.
Im so sorry for the people there. That was a devastating blow but no give up
Bahamas is a haven for sheltering money to avoid or evade taxes. Let that money be used to rebuild. Just take 10%. More than enough.
Spoken like a true Socialist. By the way, is any of that money yours?
Ed Jones sarcasm and generalizing, not the way to start a constructive dialogue.
Ed Jones The Bahamas Government can charge fees on deposits if they wanted to.
Ed Jones it should be if it's stored in the Bahamas to avoid tax evasion then yes technically it is his if he pays taxes.
I don't know why I keep watching things on the internet that make me sad.
its a sad situation but i dont get the complaining towards the rescue efforts. obviously if you dont have your own boat you have to wait for a boat to come pick you up. do they think they can just teleport away? its not societies fault that you are stuck on an island.
And it's not societies fault that their financial independence is non existent, that sucks.
You stand in the hot sun for a week around dead bodies and see how pleasant you'll be. You just saw a 3 minute clip and have all the answers BUT HAVE NO idea what these people are going through.
@@tropicallymixed. tough times do not justify being a douche to the people trying to help you... by your logic if i have a bad day im justified to be a dick to you for no reason. thats not how a respectable human being acts.
Lord give them strength and a way to leave😔
Where are all those cruise ships that comes in hourly, b4 the hurricane smh this situation is crazy there have been so many devastating disasters and we still don’t have an effective game plan for our people...
It seems to me it’s important to make and save money but not lives.
@@tishmatthis2244 You all decide to live on an island that gets hit by hurricanes every single year...... And you want to talk about money? Yes, lets talk about all the tourists you basically rob and exploit for money....
Tish the tourists came there to vacation and spend their money. The people and the government took their money. Why do you think the cruise ship companies and the tourists have a responsibility here?
Bob L I’m thinking because they go there for happy times why not sad times ,,
why isn't the us involved in helping?
why would we
Why isn’t China helping

Wow I hope Alabama doesn't get hit this hard 🙃
So do I. Its a US State.
Hurricanes will get more and more powerful and whether or not it’s believed, it’s in great part due to climate change. Puerto Rico in the Bahamas will probably never be the same.
K Black nah, climate change doesn’t exist. Lol it’s kinda sad that people don’t believe in it bc it’s eventually gonna destroy the earth
@@Amanda3473 climate change exists...but its not anthropogenic. it's from dramatic changes in the sun the media, nasa, will not discuss.
T97H you are uneducated. Climate change is natural but the rate at which our climate is changing is completely anthropogenic.
@@t97h1 So, green house gases don't capture sunlight thus raising the global temp?
tri5 ETHan- If you believe in climate change, anyone with half a brain would focus on China & India! over 3 billion ppl and are the biggest polluters, but no, you geniuses only point your fingers at America. The Paris agreement ALLOWS China & India ANOTHER 15 years until they need to start reducing their pollution! If you truly believe the world is gonna end, how about you start acting like it and focus on the biggest problem! There’s a bright idea!
To whom it may concern I appreciate your interviews with the people of hurricane dorian victims, I truly enjoy watching the way you interact with the people, keep up the good work and try to make the videos a bit longer. Thank you !
I'm going to sound like a complete dickhead saying this but I'm going to say it. I pay taxes to help out people that have lost their homes in tragedies like this however I can't even afford my own home for my own family. It's like I've been living in a hurricane zone the last 20 years.
A portion is financially funded by our taxes. But HUGE portions are private or donations. Every firehouse, church, police station around the country are collecting for them. And there are people that will go volunteer their time. But I hear you. But also remember. You might be having a hard time but SOMEONE always has it worse. They have NOTHING. And some have no ID. They can't prove who they are and they won't let them leave.
Love & Best Wishes from Afghanistan. You aren't alone.
Get those people out of there!
Why are so many able men just standing around, you need to take care the dead and start to build your shelters, you got plenty of materials. This is what happens when the people depend solely on a government. Tragedy doesn't bring weakness, weakness brings tragedy.
High Speaker have you ever been in a situation like them? I have after Katrina made a direct hit on the Mississippi gulf coast and took our house. We nearly lost our lives. Shock from something like that does not wear off quickly. You may see them as able people on the outside. But on the inside they are so scared and lost, that they are just trying to make it one hour after the next. 14 years later and I still struggle with ptsd from Katrina.
Ike,Andrew,Katrina,Harvey. Grew up in Louisiana and Texas so yea I know how fucked up it is. But you got those who need help and those who want help. Again I believe is self reliance not government treating me like a pet.
They want Americans to come in and clean the place up. Then after thats doen when we redevelop the place and build it better, they will claim we colonized the place.
And Atlantis is just chilling like no one is suffering or needs a hand. Typical greedy resorts!
I bet Atlantis raised their prices.
@Autentiqz ya the "whites" are the problem obviously
@Autentiqz you should use that gun
@@RichardsWorld I wouldn't be surprised.
@Autentiqz Funny, whites can actually build infrastructure to withstand hurricanes. You build mud and straw huts....
My heart bleeds for my people in this world. If I could do something I would. I'm two weeks away from being boarderline homeless myself but I know there's a higher power that sits high and looks low. We are going to get through this. Keep fighting and reap your rewards. Life would be nothing without a testimony!
.maybe...just maybe...it is time to build on re inforced concrete and steel....expensive ? ....think about it. ..also electrical grid under ground...expensive ?...think about it.......i remember houses build in the 60's with metal windows, reinforced concrete..those houses are still there . strong after so many years and hurricanes.
On Abaco??? And they don't have the $$.
it's time to pray......people are busy wiht thier money and everything.....they forgot the creator....our god.
Start having better building requirements
Yep..Get some concrete and re bar going...
What kind of building requirements can stop a cat 5 storm that stayed put for almost 2 days from being destroyed?
So sad help these people get them away from those dead bodies
you make it sound like zombies..lol
Look at the building with the walls blown out at the beginning of the video (0 - 6 sec.), the exterior wall studs are on 2 ft. centers... You don't frame an exterior wall in a hurricane zone on two foot centers.... These people need to start constructing buildings according to known, reliable building codes....
Hempcrete
Modern building techniques like ICFs (insulated concrete forms), SIPs, and micro-rebar. If built correctly, these homes would easily withstand cat 5 winds and stresses. I'm not guessing, because Europeans have built this way for decades. If you want to live in a little grass shack, that's your choice, but there are inexpensive ways of doing it properly. Hire some Germans to help you figure it out. Jeez, this isn't rocket science.
@@ericzeigler8669 Are you saying they cant figure out how to build on their own and that they need the white mans help. That sounds like white supremacist talk. Just saying.
@@bobl2887 You only have to look at a current photo of the damage to answer your own question. If they knew how to build properly, this would just be a back page story. Germans have the qualities needed to design strong structures...math prowess, attention to detail, commitment to excellence, quality control and material science. You interjected the race card showing your own ignorance and hatred for people of differing skin colors. Many Germans don't have white skin. I won't be baited down to your level by your agent provocateur question. Just saying ...
And Liberals rooted for this storm to destroy Florida too.
No we did not you liar...Grow up OOC. You are a child.
Last lady sorry but your not the only one who wants to leave
Wow. What an unnecessary comment from someone who is (most likely) not having to deal with this catastrophic situation. Frustration would be apparent in the aftermath. Don't deny her the right to feel it.
She’s who they asked you donut. Where’s your brain?
We need to sponsor these people. Give them a place to live and I agree the money made off of Bahamas and Bahamians needs to be returned to its people.
The cruise ships the profit from these islands should step up and help move these people!
Bahamas will come back, they'll rebuild.
Why isn't there footage of these people being fed or drinking water?? Wheres their government!

That's the point of me saying I'd leave before the hurricane hits🤔
Or you can buy a plane ticket 🎫
Why drive into the ocean? That's where it's coming from. That's like leaving in a helicopter when there's a tornado. 😂
@@rosievortex2808
Not the same thing at all. Tornadoes can pretty much form with almost no warning, that's not the case with hurricanes. This thing originated off the coast of Africa (like most hurricanes do), so there was ample time to load up your boat and sail away.
And an interesting side note:............ If you look at the ship routes of the slave ships during the Trans Atlantic slave trades, its interesting to note that if you look at the paths of hurricanes for as long as anyone has been tracking this information, it might shock you to know that all of these hurricanes form off the coast of Africa, and they all travel the same pathways that the slave ships traveled. 🤔
Here's a plan, turn around and start cleaning up. Help will come soon, food, shelter, and all your free handouts. In the meantime, man up and clean up. Don't ask what can your country do for you, but what can you do for your country.
wow- you're some compassionate man. just MAYBE they are in shock. devastated, hungry, injured. dazed.
I'm Bored you’re an asswipe
pretty sure if they were white you wouldn't make that comment.
I'm Bored...AMEN!!!👏👏👏👏 I'm glad someone said it. And to everyone else who doesn't like it, It's not call being cruel it's called surviving on what little you have to work with and coming together as one in a community until you get better needs meant. And yes I've been there in my life with 3 children I chose to survive.
Totally right, in Oklahoma when tornados hit we start clean up and sorting immediately after, been through two myself, the commentary to you is lazy and dumb, these things are going to happen everywhere and only the mentally strong will survive these commenters and these people waiting for a boat will not, history repeats itself thousands of years of evidence.
I guess they can’t drop couple 1000 ppl off at bus terminal. Or in the street. They need an arena 1st. Till they figure out where to take in a city thousands of ppl. I don’t know. Polesi, why don’t you help, you fight for more immigrants. No disrespect to Bahama ppl meant.
No matter who and where you are on Earth, life is unpredictable. Always have peace with yourself and with God, and be thankful to have been preserved in such tragedies. Quick recovery to our Bahamian family. Shalom, shalom.
And live above sea leve
1 billion dollars for a cathedral roof in 48 hours...........and then this.

They should send a cruise ship to pick them up and take them. So easy.
Your government did your people wrong. Love so much of my heart breaks.
What has happened in the Bahamas is indescribable and should never happen again. However, if anyone in the devastated area is reading this, you should not give up and show your not going to give up and begin to rebuild as soon as possible. This is how mankind has survived this long by not letting nature defeat us. I would recommend using stone and/or concrete for the homes during rebuilding and make you homes hurricane resistant or proof if you can. To eat you can use the sea during reconstruction. I would also recommend the construction of large hurricane PROOF shelters using stone or rock native to the region and/or concrete. If you want to survive the next big hurricane you need to do this. Buildings do not have to have wooden roofs and steel roofing would work much better. Welding steel roof panels to a steel subframes anchored with heavy steel bolts to the stone, rock or concrete walls would secure the roof from coming off in high winds of over 300 mph. Build the new homes on mounds of sand or dirt surrounded by a concrete foundation a mound system that could be as high as 8 meters/feet to avoid flooding. The stone or rock could be quarried from the surrounding mountains on the island or use coral stone being only 24 to 36 inches in length by 18 inches wide or larger. Wood will not due here and its hard work but it would be worth it in the longer run. The new stone or rock structures could be quite comfortable and be very appealing in appearances too and best of all SAFER. We did this kind of thing thousands of years ago and the structures are still usable and quite good looking too. Make your island and its buildings unique and indestructible. I'am from Europe and this is what we did to survive countless attacks by nature building pyramids and many other indestructible buildings still used today across the European Continent. You should not run from it but look at it as a challenge and don't let nature defeat you there are plenty of resources on your island that are just waiting to be used.

You are so right. On a serious note: billions of dollars were stolen. Imagine the payoffs in order to do that. After all, the Clinton's net worth is somewhere around 134M. Now you know how people in politics retire as millionaires on government salaries. There are a lot of palms to grease in order to steal 100M. That's why no one goes to prison. It's like the Post Office scandal. It transcends party lines.
