The flood resulting from the destruction of a dam has to be one of the most terrifying events a person can experience.
-
I remember the minutes after the drone footage from the dam dropped- all I felt was awe and horror. This was a man-made natural disaster that displaced as much water as a small typhoon.

Бож 06.06.Антихриста !?😳как на Крымск 07.07.2012 Иван- Купала был сброс воды из водохранилища! Трупы людей животных валялись на дорогах 😳 😔

Ive read about this ad nauseum, watched this entire video - and I still don't understand why either side would want to do this.
-
Props to that soldier at 13:16 that was still able to maintain step and beat throughout that mess
-
To put this perspective. The Dam destroyed in WW2 was only 2.7 million acre/ft. This one was 14.7 million
-
the thing about the draining of the reservoirs leaving behind mud flats, is it dried up very quickly, at least the surface did, so it can probably be crossed with light vehicles, and maybe putting down some sheets of metal or planks of wood
-
crazy to think i'd see you back on my recommended page haha, going strong with the channel man. been watching ur vids since 2018, much love.
-
Anyone else laugh at the poor fellow whos drum dropped at 13:16?
-
The thing is, Ukraine can keep probing the northern banks of the river and Russian lines, keeping Russian troops there, until the lower reaches of the river firm up. While the river is a temporary barrier, its destruction also disturbed and opened up new routes through mine fields.

Imagine making an analysis based on information gathered on CNN and you get this
-
best part of the video is at 13:16 when the drummer blunders and tries to run away before getting sent to the gulag 🤣
-
This is "SO Messed-Up" for all those innocent civilians.😢
-
That’s correct that they would blow the dam when the water is at its highest. That’s how the date for the Dam Busters raid was chosen during WW2 (max water height and no moon).
-
Love the channel. Im remembering just now how you totally called the natural gas issue with Russia vs Ukraine like so far ahead of everyone else. It’s amazing how much detail you put into this channel. You deserve every subscriber and even more so. Thanks again.
-
Thank you for increasing my understanding. So it's all about the water. Thank you.

8:30 Sun Tsu said to leave your enemy a route of escape. The reason why is because they're far more dangerous when they're fighting to the death. The Kherson retreat saved a lot of UA lives.
-
Just when you thought the food shortage situation couldn’t get any worse…
-
Great explanation and reporting. Was pleasantly surprised to find your program on Nebula. Keep up the great work-
