The North Sea Tsunami: Britain’s Deadliest Disaster

1. Things like this truly make you wonder just how many things about our past have been lost

2. Good. Do it again.

3. Establishing a parliament was the biggest one
   Night all ✝️

4. No video? I was waiting for the video. All I got was an educational and a bit humorous narrative about an important event I never heard of. Still, no video, so……..

5. This video makes me wonder how many of us are descended from the survivors of this catastrophe. I mean, the survivors were all Britons, so anyone with any British ancestry is probably descended from survivors of this. It's pretty interesting to think. Hell, our ancestors were legends. Think about all they survived. Not just Europeans, but any people really. I guess European history is just better documented so we're more aware of stuff that happens there. And there's the obvious bias in teaching our European and European descended children about European history instead of Indian history or Chinese history or (God forbid) African history. But I think there's a good reason for the last one if you live in the new world. Or at least, what THEY think is a good reason.

6. Interesting.
   "Can it happen again?"
   Unfortunitally, the answer is a resoundng "Hell Yes!" to both "Can it "happen again?" and "WILL it happen again?" 🙁
   I must disagree with your statement that the British Isles are searated form the Europian continent "forever".
   They will be reunited by Dogerland again during the next (over due) full fledged ice age, which will no doubt be on the heels of the current "Global Warming".
   I believe historically every ice age has quickly followed a period of global warming, which eventually "turns off" The Gulf Stream.
   (Did anyone save the 1973 or 1974 Time Magazine article on how to survive the upcoming Ice Age, published when North America was coverd with snow to the Gulf Coast and central Florida? "Scientists" predicted the snow would reflect the sun, ushering in a new ice age by 1975 or so.)

7. why dose he fake talk like a wanker…. he doesn't speak like this in reality……

8. wait so sea level and methane seeps have been happening for millenia? and land structures such as doggerland can disappear within a century? my whole life is a lie. Only humans can change the climate!

9. Talking about first responders like police and firemen were a thing back that long ago

10. Knew about Doggerland, but never heard of this.

    Have you done a video about mega tsunamis?

11. Yes it will happen again when three gorges dam finally let go or something similar but this time it will be humans fault because of greed or ego

12. Absolutely excellent

13. So the eurostar runs over doggerland

14. I live in east cramlington I can walk up a small hill 5 minutes walk from my house and can see the sea I would have been dead a chilling thought

15. That saw fascinating thanks

16. Wait…you mean global climate experienced sudden and dramatic shifts before humanity and SUVs?

17. How do they know for sure.

18. Where was MacDonalds in Doggerland?

19. Underwater avalanche caused by a submarine with a dodgy pilot?,

20. The “Misolithic”. ?

21. 'Slightly Warmer than today'

    Are you saying that global warming is a naturally occurring cycle and not all caused by me leaving my TV on standby? Who would've thought

22. what if noah's ark is inspired by this historical event?
    now i know its unlikely, byt sill possible, right?

23. i love these stories

24. 13:20 emo kids felt that.

25. Why do you use kilometers and then reference Delaware..

26. If only this man wasn't on this show I'd watch it, I find him so annoying

27. I genuinely thought the thumbnail was a well designed race track ?

28. We could just inundate desert depressions with water, and generate massive underground ice storages. And make a new foggerland

29. I think you should be closer to the camera. There's still space left. Kind of a waste

30. I watched Time Team Special about a year ago and the extent of the underwater slide reminded me of Google Earth images of the sea floor around the Hawaiian islands. You can see that the older, western islands are both smaller than the eastern ones and also have more of the surrounding seafloor littered with slide debris. It appears that volcanic islands collapse regularly over geologic time. Each collapse would probably have a severe impact on any surrounding shoreline. I live about 70 feet or 21 meters above sea level in the Cascadia zone but I am far enough away from the open ocean that whatever gets here will be greatly delayed and or reduced. Yeah this was well presented and I really enjoyed this even though I have a sweet spot for Tony "a dogs body" Robinson. Thank you

31. It's weird to think, bit if this area of land had never disappeared below the sea, nazi Germany would have had a far easier time trying to invade England, maybe might have even won the war, and brexit might not have happened either

32. You Jane, Me Thane

33. Christians call this Noahs flood!

34. I have never heard Scandinavia be referred to as "some guy's leprosy-afflicted genitals", and now I can't unsee that.

35. I wanna go to Doggoland

36. did people go "doggin" in Doggerland?

37. There is no evidence this even happened. You are a conspiracy theorist

38. So that wave was 131ft tall?? Is that right or is my math trash?? That's a big damn wave..

39. Brexit Tsunami

40. Disappointed in my boy with the blaze. Using the term 'fall' instead of Autumn, I'm Scottish and even I think that's an abuse of the English language.

41. 40m is the estimated height of some of the worst parts of the 2011 tsunami in Japan, and that was after being crammed into small bays. Imagine that just appearing with no warning at all (or the warning signs entirely misunderstood).

42. Excellent post. I love your stuff Simon. Please keep on keeping on.

43. Simon such dire tidings!

44. And Now Simon Whistler can be known as an authority on Leprosy infection junk and such. lol

45. Doggerland was permanently buried under rising seas. A victim of Catastrophic Climate Change caused by Global Warming! This Existential Climate Crisis was the consequence of the ongoing Interglacial Warming that has not ended.

46. If you take Doggerland, remove some letters and add some others, you get Atlantis. Coincidence?? I think not!
