Hearted Youtube comments on Wendover Productions (@Wendoverproductions) channel.

  1. “There are more planes in the ocean than submarines in the sky”
    16000
  2. If Wendover Productions designed an embassy it would be a plane flying in circles constantly being refuelled in the air from time to time.
    12000
  3. A 50 minute wendover video? What a way to start off the new decade <3
    5200
  4. A 45 minute 2 years in the making documentary? Seems like Wendover's really soaring to new heights here... And with such nebulous causes too...
    3400
  5. That's a very unique plane.
    2700
  6. Genuinely, I've got so much respect for the way Sam can pump out HAI videos that are jokey and educational, then standard Wendover videos which are good bite-sized learnings and then something like this which so serious and heartfelt, yet still educational. Three different skill sets but he nails all of them
    2500
  7. Honestly this is freaking amazing!
    2400
  8. As a Hongkonger, I really really appreciate that you devoted an entire video to us. I was not old enough to witness British Hong Kong myself. This video made me know just a little more, and it is kind of emotional for me. Thank you.

  9. When RealLifeLore, RealEngineering and Wendover Productions upload at the same time...
    2200
  10. If submarines are always underwater, are they wet?
    2200
  11. I appreciate the references. I know attribution is a pain in the rear, but it adds gravitas to your work. You take it seriously, so I take you seriously. Good job.
    2000
  12. As a person in the foreign service community, this makes me happy.

  13. I actually live in the arctic, in Norway’s biggest arctic city, which is Tromsø with around 76k inhabitants. There are cruise ships regularly here, and personally i find them bad. After they arrive, all of the snow in their vicinity is turned brown from their massive CO2 exhausts. And as for global warming, not only has there been less snow in the past years, but the snow comes later in the year, and also disappears earlier than before. Greetings from Tromsø.

  14. All honor to you, this video is amazing compared to every other "what happened to the 737 MAX"-video I've seen. The fact that you started from scratch and explained everything is amazing. Also, your point about the investors not being happy if they chose to build a new plane which lead to the decision to make the MAX is so important. People who decide over something they don't understand... Thanks for the awesome video :)

  15. Key takeaway: driving is dangerous and we should be cycling more. Sounds good to me!
    1400
  16. oh a video not about planes! a few minutes in oh

  17. having gone for a literary exchange trip to hong kong with significant focus on this exact event, this is a really good goddamn video edit: the political and social impacts of the turnover in the years that followed are also really interesting as well. this video isn't exactly about that but hong kong's resultant dual identity is a very unique predicament that has some really interesting long term effects that extend past the turnover itself into present day.

  18. I really enjoy the way you structure your paragraphs. It has an essay style to it which im currently trying copy because it's so effective at making points efficiently. Thank you
    1300
  19. That is the most beautiful thumbnail I've ever seen.
    1200
  20. Such an interesting history of a region! Thanks for sharing the story as always Wendover!!!
    1200
  21. The moment I have a free hour, five minutes, and 36 seconds I will be watching this non stop.
    1100
  22. As a Hong Konger (my ancestors were actually one of the 7450), I thank you for this amazing video!
    1100
  23. I really like the thumnail of this video and the previous one. They blend in with their respective topics so well.
    1000
  24. They should use a trebuchet not a catapult
    1000
  25. Great video. As a former submariner I can confirm what you said.

  26. Quality of production and the educational format of this video is stunning. I just learnt so many new things and am in awe. Such an inspiring piece of work that was a pleasure to watch. Keep up the great work - it's evident the amount of time put into this 13 minute video. Simply amazing.

  27. Honestly your videos are some of the best made and researched ones on yt

  28. 1:02:22 is the most viscerally upsetting part. Here is a child whose life at home is on a timer, set by the immovable ocean that surrounds him. No war will defeat it; no appeasement will satisfy it.
    670
  29. Everytime Wendover uploads I highly appreciate the content but I am confused by thrre being no puns
    645
  30. Real Engineering and Wendover double-whammy love it.
    580
  31. Wait... Is the Post Office an airline? Otherwise, why is Wendover talking about it?
    481
  32. You've made me obsessed with planes Wendover

  33. There was this feeling in the air with this channel for me for ages. This channel is different than others. Its not one of those channels that flew too high, or one of those channels of some dude standing in front of a green plane. This channel has never undergone any major turbulence and isnt likely to roll over any time soon. Much rather it will spread its wings and take to the sky. I just want this channel to bombardier me with entertaining videos. I think the repetitiveness of other channels so rudderly disappointing and I would rather watch 747 videos of wendover than one of someone getting a 320 kill game in Fortnite. Damn I would even watch this in an elevator. I would dance like a twat and flap my arms if that summoned a wendover video

  34. This was such a cool video!
    391
  35. This was a bloody good documentary and you should be proud
    373
  36. The last time I was this early, the boat to Pitcairn was still called the Bravo Supporter!
    347
  37. So many submarines and none are yellow My life is a lie
    345
  38. If u liked this video, u guys should definitely check out the Borders series made by Vox. an accurate depiction of the past 20 years after the handover
    287
  39. It was a great cover of Hong Kong even as a Hongkonger! Great job!
    281
  40. Vancouver Productions
    270
  41. Killer content, as usual
    265
  42. That was very well done. While I already agree with your points made in this video, I really appreciate the reference stamps. Great job, Sam.
    254
  43. there's a joke about this being a video about planes for water somewhere but i can't find it
    237
  44. Can't say I've watched the video, but what I can say is that your podcast is absolutely brilliant so far! I can't wait for the next episode!
    232
  45. wow, Wendover Productions video and RealLifeLore video released in one day. What a great day!
    222
  46. Hehe, already saw this on Nebula :D Of course I'm here to give a comment and a like, though!
    219
  47. The thumbnail is pretty fly
    208
  48. I was an FT on Fast Attacks. This video was very well made. I would've added a little more about crew sizes and longevity of being underway on different classes of boats. Also, the Seawolf class, pretty interesting stuff when you get to digging. Well done!
    198
  49. I waited for this video so i can get "Brilliant" though your link
    195
  50. I hope that I'm not the first to say this, but thank you for putting so much effort and passion on your videos @wendover productions
    191
  51. I'll be honest, I usually don't really like the traditional documentary format. It can feel so slow and bloated. I was ready to hit that 1.5x as soon as I saw the length, but then I just got so sucked in. This is a REALLY quality film, the pacing is just as dense as a normal Wendover video
    184
  52. That thumbnail is amazing.
    183
  53. thats pretty awesome
    180
  54. damn, I thought this would be boring and ended up finishing the whole documentary.
    176
  55. I watched this on Nebula, It is genuinely one of the most insightful and emotional docs I’ve ever watched. Thanks Sam and Wendover crew, I hope we get season 4 of Extremities eventually.
    175
  56. Just finished this, wow this was incredibly eye opening and depressing.
    162
  57. Having seen this on nebula, I'd recommend everyone to watch this in its entirety! One of the most relevant conversations that will be had over the next 50-100 years is addressed in this documentary. Also a very beautiful location! An excellent documentary and I look forward to see more such content on nebula and YouTube.
    157
  58. Wow. That's an damn excellent video!
    139
  59. Finally! Years of waiting but it paid off, You finally mentioned my hometown.
    107
  60. This video is like a godsent, since i am considering joining the navy as a submariner, thank you!
    105
  61. My favourite YouTube channel hands down
    93
  62. Sam, I’ve been watching your videos for years and wanted to finally say thanks. Keep doing what you do, and please give an update on the extremities channel too. You inspired me to go to school for multimedia journalism, so you’ve literally changed my life. Thanks!
    90
  63. Hey Wendover big fan of your channel here I want to thank you for covering this! I'm from Hong Kong and I really appreciate the effort you've put into this video!
    88
  64. And i thought kurgzesat was the only channel with a deep ending. You outdid yourself with this video. Keep up the good work!
    82
  65. This is one of the most well made videos I have ever seen. Good job, Wendover. Keep up the good work. I do not "like" many videos on Youtube, but yours always get one from me.
    80
  66. I loaded the Crystal Serenity in Vancouver before it left for that first historic voyage :)
    71
  67. Proud to say I've already watched this on Nebula. Love the content you make and glad to see how much Curiosity Stream is working with you on stuff like this. Hoping for season 4 of Extremities to be announced after the last episode.
    61
  68. Two videos about drones at the same time this is too much @wendover productions and @Real Engineering
    60
  69. This was interesting and educational. Well written.
    39

    27
  74. Fine, you got me. We're subscribing to Nebula...
    23
  75. Absolutely loving the extremities podcasts! Keep it up legend
    22
  76. I literally will not start my day on every other Tuesdays until I watch a wendover productions video.
    21
  77. i saw this on nebula and it was soooo good!!! I cancelled my netflix subsciption and i haven't regretted it!
    16
  78. I loved this. Great video.
    14
  79. Right channel on the first try, amazing

  81. A lot of commenters seem to think the solution is simply to reduce car use and encourage walking and public transport, That's fine in and off itself but for the majority of people that is simply not an option, in cities public transport can work well, being in the country it would be impossible for me to do my job if I had to wait an hour for a bus to take me to somewhere I can catch another bus to catch another bus to get vaguely near where I need to go and walk half an hour to get there to visit a client and then do the whole thing in reverse, a three hour visit now could be more than half a day on public transport. Far more useful would be reducing the need for car ownership, self driving could reduce the overall car numbers to a third simply because the cars won't need to sit around doing nothing for most of their life.

  82. Even though I wouldn't have the time to watch anything this makes me want to get that subscription just to support you guys

  83. This was powerful. It forced me to take a hard look at what my country has done to the world, and the fates of those who were affected. It's not an easy watch, but if it was, it would be ineffective. Thank you for sharing this story with us.

  84. I don't have 46 minutes rn, I'll watch it next decade

  89. The thumbnails of this and the last Video are really good

  90. Watched this on Nebula about a month back. It is breathtaking. I cannot stress more on how important it is for us to save content producers like Sam. Subscribe to Nebula. It is worth every penny you will put in. Go for the CuriosityStream bundle if it is still available.

  92. Thank you Sam, it's a beautiful but sad documentary!

  93. Stunning documentary. These people deserve better, but if all goes wrong, I can only hope that the struggle they faced and the fight they're fighting they will remain a part of the cultural heritage of those who survive, rather than being a footnote in the pages of history. Every world leader that refuses to make serious change, and every citizen that elects them (where fair election is possible), has the blood and the tears of the Marshallese, and every other current and potential climate refugee, on their hands.

  94. This is so good.

  95. Great work. I really wish youtube would improve it's monetization formula to ensure that educational creators are fairly compensated. I did sign up for Nebula, but it is next to unusable with my internet connection and old hardware. I'm stuck with youtube because, on it, I can adjust the resolution to reduce buffering time and the platform itself is less data rich. Nebula with my setup takes forever to load. What's worse is for where I live, I make decent money and can afford cable internet, even if it is slow. Most of my community cannot. At best most are working with spotty 4G hotspots from their phone. What I am saying is that the best educational content migrating for free youtube, is depriving from the people who need it the most.
