Very cool Sam!
What is your favorite color? What did you have for thanksgiving dinner? and when is your next bendover productions video?
FriesingCold _ Green. I don't celebrate thanksgiving. What is Bendover?
Half as Interesting the longest ever non-stop ship voyage, similar to the longest flight video
Basically: "Finders, keepers. Losers, weepers"
Saved me 5 minutes. Thanks

Until UK or USA decide to invade it

Didn't expect the Hong Kong plug lol especially when I'm from Hong Kong
@Aditya R oh of course, because they're not fighting for anything important, just their freedom, right?
@Aditya R
四五天安门事件发生在1976年4月5日，中国北京的天安门广场。该事件发生在南京事件之后的传统哀悼日清明节，是由当年早些时候周恩来总理去世引发的。一些人强烈反对拆除哀悼的陈列品，并开始聚集在广场上以抗议中央政府，然后主要在四人帮的主持下，该四人团伙下令清理广场。
Good luck fucker
@@karnewarrior tiamen square?
@Aditya R Yes because russia doesn't exist anymore apparently.
@Aditya R I mean if we wanna talk about violence why not have a chat with your police
I would imagine that any island that pops up in the exclusive economic zone of any country would automatically be theirs. The question would be what would happen if it popped up in international waters?
China would still claim it lol
@@ysnbg Unless an American gets there first and finds bird poop, in which case it becomes an American island. Because reasons.
@@leftfootfirstpolitics Plot twist a British dude had land on it first.
If it pops up in international waters than their likely won’t be universal recognition of their ownership
Scenario A: It somehow was a 5 metre long atoll at any point in the 19th century, then it belongs to the British
Scenario B: It has oil/gas reserves. It is American
Scenario C: It is neither A or B, it is now Chinese territory and google ceases to exist on an uninhabited island. Also this tiny island will become an archipelago just because.
The Dutch: we just build our own lands and islands, no need to create fuss when you can just steal clay from the sea lol
China: can I copy your home work. There's a sea with my name on it
Except we mostly did it to inland seas and lakes, compared to China, which justs builds theirs in the middle of the ocean.
Atlantic Ocean: *Exists*
Netherlands: "ALL RIGHTFUL DUTCH CLAY!"
shut up you racist
Always good to see a nation reclaim some land from the sea. You show Poseidon who's the boss!
Australia: *exists*
China: *it's free real-estate*
Yep. This is funny.

good thing Australia doesn't exist
I'm watching this from Sydney Australia, and that is what I'm worried about. 😱🌏👽🇦🇺
username1nmillion me too we Australians need to take back our ports, airports and airfields that China “bought”. We won’t be under commie rule
Land: *_exists_*
-Britain- *china* : its free real estate

JackNo Legs
China: Exists
British Raj: It’s free real estate
*islands
USA: No, we’re good. We’ve got plenty of land already as it isssswwwwwwait a minute, is that bird shit on the island!!??
In the case of Iceland the island is in its EEZ so of course it's Icelandic.
EEZ isn't the same as territorial waters, so it's not so obvious. If it was outside territorial waters, you could argue the journalist had the rights to it and what Iceland did was stealing
Thank you some one understands International law!!
But does it extend their EEZ?
L Haviland perhaps but I would like to say if there is enough land created in an eez to fill the eez then any more land found would then double the size of the eez if found outside the eez
@@lhaviland8602 Once it became part of their territory, I would imagine it extended both their territorial waters and their EEZ
How many Islands do you want?

All ur islands are belong to us

Everyday I get to watch videos like these in HK without being genuinely worried about my life is a simple virtue that we should all be grateful about.
As a Tanzanian, I'm so happy to hear my country even being mentioned in a video. That made my day =)
Same here!

Idea: The most states you could walk through if you walked in a straight line.
All of them if you just keep going
If you allow for crossing rivers, lakes and artificially created canals, I managed to find 22 countries in a straight line (although some of them just baaaarely).
Start at almost the westernmost point in Guinea Bissau and walk 12.766km to Ninh Binh, Vietnam!
Guinea Bissau, Senegal, Gambia, Mali, Mauritania, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Laos, Vietnam

@@Braycoe nation states... US states...
If you're not American, anything that doesn't specify may as well be countries.
"Somebody just claims that they own it, and if they get enough people and countries to believe them, then they become right."
You basically summed up all of human politics in a single sentence.
"Especially in Hong Kong" 😂
In Hong Kong "peaceful" protesters beat the lawful police authorities... and Trump approves of that crap, coz U know, US is the den of hypocrites :(
Андрей Третьяков pee pee poo poo China bad self determination good
@@creounity sadly i dont believe in Chinese as their government don't want them to know the truth. The crazy amount of censorship in that country and the lack of freedom have brainwashed so many people

@Rahul Khanna lol when Chinese tried to upload video footages of the HK protest CZcams bans them. apparently ur democracy country aren't that democracy after all
short answer: the ocean
Good point. Many new islands won't last long, thus, most of the time the issue addressed in this video just resolves itself.
Lone Starr exactly. they'll appear, disappear and reappear again until they finally submerge completely.
Please make a second channel called 1/4th as interesting
Quarter as interesting.
Would actually be a third channel
his main channel is wendover productions, this is his second already
edit: welp i forgot about Sam From Wendover, so it would be his fourth channel

All you gotta do is find some guano on it and *boom* new US unincorporated island.
Where's alternate history hub, what if Tanzania claimed Surtsey
Lmao, I'd love to see that
@@Fractal821 Same
NATO erupts into chaos due to the fact that an African nation claimed a strategically important island that could be used to conquer Iceland and destroy NATO. Tanzania built a military base there and soon, the news broke. The government of Iceland freaks out and declares war on Tanzania, followed by NATO. The African Union would declare war on Iceland and NATO, to back up Tanzania.

Hong Kong terrorist China number 1!!!

What hong-kong, all i know is china
"Rock beats scissors, and country beats a man. Especially in Hong Kong" 😂😂😂
That was brilliant 👍
Short answer:
Whoever gets there first
Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands: *exists*
Japan: We got there first. Here are some historic documents.
China: No, we got there first. Here are some historic documents.
The other China: We got there first, but it's this we and not that we.
That short answer can become reeeaaaallllyy long disputes.
New Island: *Has oil*
The US: It’s literally free real estate
Gotta bring them freedom.
Copied
More like, Earth: it's literally free real estate
coolkid5760 That island needs freedom!
You could also do what Italy did with Graham Island, which has risen and sunk beneath the Mediterranean multiple times since the mid-1800s. Just in case it popped up again, the Italians sent a diving team down to plant a flag on the island underwater so it’s automatically theirs if it re-emerges and manages to stabilize.
Petition to rename all of Sam’s channels “WEEE AIRPLANES HHHHYYYOOOOO”
The HK reference is just to the point. Love it
Your snark has taught me more history than 8 years of history education in the States.
One of the few times I hear about my home nation Tanzania in a youtube video.
Shuaib Mohamed you should be proud! It’s a beautiful country. Love from Canada 🇨🇦🇹🇿❤️
Yes. You got Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest single free-standing mountain in the world. That's makes it something like the real world Erebor.
Damn, no one is safe from the scathing burns of the airport logistics guy.
I’ve already listened to the first episode of Extremities S3 and it’s ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Keep up the good work Sam :D
0:49 I didn't expect to see That Japanese Man Yuta in the list :D
New island: exists
Every country: it's free real estate
World's most unoriginal person
Great video
Love the side cut ins - really funny
the brutal Hong Kong reference! Its actually sad that its true in this case.
Oh, I thought “New Islands” was the name of an island chain that was disputed territory.
Well that answer's easy--they're claimed in the name of Halfasinteresting-stania
Islands that form out of nowhere should be given to landlocked countries so they can taste some ocean.
3:07
*Bougainville: hold my land*
Sam, in all honesty: Extremities is such a great Podcast. Been listening since the first episode and enjoyed every single minute of it. Thank you so much for your work!!
Island: exists
UK: it's free real estate!!
“Country beats man... especially in Hong Kong” 😮😂
Not gonna lie, that space heater theory sounds pretty good
The amount of shade being thrown around in the video is amazing
I love that Sam's recommended CZcams videos are exactly the same as mine
If the guy whom planted the flag had stayed on the island and started building a settlement (and used his own flag instead of a company’s) he would have been given the right to create his own country.
Thank you for the Hong Kong shoutout!!!
I honestly kinda wanna claim an island in the name of the Vatican, just so they don't have to be the smallest country.
pedo island
The only country with 2 Popes per square km.
@@WildBluntHickok actually it would be around 2.27 popes
loving the background music
"Country beats man" especially in Hong Kong - genius:). regards
“Everyone agreed that nobody would own it” That didn’t stop Argentina from claiming land that isn’t theirs
Hello Kim
So is this your stance Mr. Kim?
Loved your St. Helena airport special!!
The shade is strong with this one.

Gerard Gray was also a Frenchman, and as everyone knows, he had the legacy of surrendering in his bones.
Imagine just being in a helicopter just waiting to claim a new island
This guy should collaborate with Wendover Productions!
Countries beat men, especially in Hong Kong.
Tears down
(a comment from a Hongkonger)
2 videos in 2 days?
*Hmm....*
But I get half the time to enjoy each video
Note to self: carry around an American flag while sailing just in case I find a new island so I can claim it
1:31
*everyone except Chile, Argentina, the UK, Norway, New Zealand, Australia and France
They own it but also technically don't, the only country that can still claim land in Antarctica is the united States but they choose not to
3:33 - that guy is headed for a rude awakening when he discovers that revolver isn’t loaded...
I liked the video in the very moment you mentioned Hong Kong. It's like the old phrase: the enemy of China is my friend.
Can't wait to start browning safely. Thank you Dashlane.
2 posts in 2 days??? ARE YOU SURE THIS IS LEGAL??
4:22 that's actually a good and accurate joke. Well done!
Tri Tran But that is a painful joke. (I'm from Hong Kong)
@@bryanwong1766 so sorry to hear that. I support you guys

My favorite island is Sark in the English Channel because it's a dark sky preserve, and Enya made an album inspired by it.

We own the islands, we’re the best
sooo... the answer to "who owns new islands" is "whoever can enforce their ownership"? that's a lame video
"Country beats man, especially in Hong Kong"
*The Chinese Government wants to know your location*
An island could also be formed by artificial construction (which automatically claims it, unless Antarctica, Bir Tawil or Liberland constructed it, or if it is the Principality of Sealand)
Pretty soon MrBeast will own it
All the islands go to the great and powerful country of Russia! 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
I love you ❤️

Don't ever try to fully know what's going on... Cause 90% of Indians don't know what's going on there... LoL 😂
It's not - that's the world in 1914, and India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Burma were all British colonies, with a few coastal cities under Portuguese control.
