Came here from “Weathering with you”.
Jakarta be like : hello there...
Sup!
Padahal cuma 2 milyar dollar ( 28 triuliun ). untuk menyelematkan jakarta dan perekonomian drpd banjir mulu mending dibagusin. Indo Selalu nunggu parahnya dulu. Menganggap remeh. Gak modal . Bngunn in Jepang udh mencegah sejak 1993
Brilliant engineering!
I think California and much of U.S. could learn from this.
@zola mo and San Francisco, y'know, the city known for it's giant earthquake that killed thousands.
@@elllieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee more of a wild fire than a flood
Japanese: Let's be proactive and try to prevent losses.
Americans: Let's react to the losses after they've occurred, every time they occur.
I'm American....
Texas: Let those losers pay for their own losses, unless of course it happens to Texas.
Its okay for japan they can face any natural disaster n they hve been facing since time immemorial....bt think about jakarta,mumbai,african cities...etc....
Indonesian here. Meh, jakarta has no hope. The goverment already taking measures to move the capital.
An insight :
If Y'all wanna ask about the reason, it's because of the Stupid yet reasonable greed. The " stupid greed" is about land price. In indonesian, the land price is on a steady rise through the years. Land price become a main investments to indonesian. That's why, all people buy lands. In jakarta due to the quick urbanization , slums that used to pop up like mushrooms is demolished( they won't be homeless. they'll be relocated to a flat with a low lease somewhere. But idk why majority of people reject this idea) because they hate it, owning a land is a kind of insurance for them. The thing is, when buying a land they'll level it till it's flat. And THIS is the main cause. The city wasn't on that high aleavation in the first place. Jakarta now is 2 or 3 meters below the sea level. BELOW NOT ABOVE. And some chinese dude wants to do a beach reclamation ( did i type it right?, idk english very well, so hard words are a no no) that'll worsen the situation. They gave up on fixing it. The rumour of moving the capital has been around since 2013 (maybe wrong, idk for sure). The projects is more than halfway done so all hope is lost on jakarta, i guess.
The major blow is, since jakarta is the center of business activity this will be a blow to the economy. I bet my currents saving the goverments didn't prepare a solution for this upcoming crisis like securing a spot for the big companies to relocate, or securing a major transportation line beforehand ( like a big airport or big harbour. Since the new capital s on an separate island unlike java where there's a bridge connecting it to other island like sumatra things will slows down a lot) so when shit hits the fan, they'll recover quick, and boost the economy up a bit since the most of the national budget comes from export, entrepeneurs, and tourism industry.
No news about this stuff on tv. They had enough about it apparently? (I don't really watch the tv. but if i did, it'll be about celebs life and shitty cringy tv dramas with no educational value with commercial taking more than 20% airing time.
Oh yeah, The residents there are mostly stupid stubborn mf who blame on the goverments when there's a flood while littering all over the place. when they live near riverbanks, they'd throw garbage to the river So, it becames a polluted river with booked flood schedule.
@@Piku_gram I thought ahok was building like a barrier or something in front of the north Jakarta, and then it got canceled because mostly only Chinese people will live there. Idk why Indonesians dislike Chinese that much.
About people buying lands even if it's small, that's so true. My friend bought a land the other day, I asked him why you bought it small, why not wait until you have enough money to buy a bigger one. And he said it's a part of a strategy. If the government want to use his land or the other to make like a park or something, he will sell it like so expensive so he can have money
@@jerryhamdzah7785 well, I grew up in a multi cultural society with various race mingled in one place. So I grew up with having Chinese friends as playmate. So idk what's the big deal about it. Maybe Indonesian and Chinese Indonesian (yeah, they're Indonesian too right?) Have different pov on things which affects the way they interact with each other.
The reason I hate ahok, is due that one defamation of religion issue. Aside from that he's good at his job,
Tbh, ahok did a better job than anies. Yeah, things always about politics in Indonesia. The things that you said was right. They reject ahok's plan for reclamation due to "benefitting outsiders more" and "a way to win the election"(they say something about endangering wildlife too so idk). What baffled me is that Anies's reclamation proposal got approved in his time. (I don't know about this until you reply) I was like "the heck with these hypocrites?" The reason is "it's ground breaking. It uses river sediments and reservoir's mud so it's killing two bird in one stone". I'm not an engineer, but I know it's not that simple. It needs dry sand and soil apart from the slimy mud from those gross rivers. Idk if they even considering AMDAL in this projects. That, plus the "corruption habits" in most of Indonesian projects, idk if it's going well.
@@jerryhamdzah7785 barrier exist tho. Like in "vice Indonesia about sinking cities : Jakarta" captured. The big issue about ahok was the island reclamation.
Florida, Louisiana, most southern states that are along the coast aswell.
japanese people...decipline...high standard in every work...with high value for human dignity...thats qhy they attain such marvelous project! it's not money issue for them its all about the quality of there lives the place they living....
Feel bad for Japan. They had done everything to face the odds, but the odds are still unpredictable and tends to screw them everytime. At least they still managed to mitigate it and didnt need any help from others to manage it.
I mean, they've looked for solutions from the Netherlands, so that counts as outside help. But I mean, we don't mind, we're happy to help the world. Living 5 meter below sea level at the moment in the safest delta in the world, there hasn't been a major flood in like 70 years since we built one of the modern wonders of the world called ''Deltaworks'' (a huge amount of levies, dams and dykes to protect the Netherlands against storms, built to withstend a once in a thousend year storm)
It's one place I want to see and visit.
I think this giant drainage is in Saitama Japan near Tokyo.
This is amazing. 🤩
Very impressive, to name a few places, Mexico City area needs this type of system as well as the Chicago suburban greater area.. amazing work for sure..
Interesting program, extremely well rescourced water management system!
Jakarta:Fine I Will Increase in size
ingenious!!!
We experience also all of that in Philippines huhu
Ye but the city is not sinking
WONDERFUL!!!
Amazing
This facility costs about $2 billion dollars U.S. That's about one sixth the cost of one U.S. aircraft carrier
WOULD BE GREAT, IF AT THE SAME TIME YOU GUYS ADDRESS MELTING OF THE ICE IN ARCTIC, BECAUSE THAT WILL ALSO ELEVATE THE SEA LEVEL ACROSS THE GLOBE
Actually, in the Arctic only the melting of glaciers in Greenland will effect sea level. Arctic sea ice doesn't add to sea level at all. Think ice cubes melting in a glass of water.
Amen and Amen
Brilliant engineering, ambitious. Progress iniquity is enough to happen disaster inevitable.
@ jean scooter- that's a pretty f****** astute observation.
There idea's are very impressive and very detailed.
Whose idea's are very impressive and very detailed. Can you give us some examples to support your opinion?
That is seriously impressive, preplanning is crucial for a population to exist...
Wow...
Amazing system. Simple awesome
Yay tokyo!!!
that surge tank looks like a level from mirrors edge
Sana all may ganyan
Why scenes only of the 2011 Tsunami?
Philippines left the group
There should be a destination on each side of the island in case a surge or tsunami is forcing water up the destination river on one side of the island.
I visited recently Tokyo and I never seen such images.
Also Honolulu there are sea coral and fish in the street drains
That good plan a head of time..👍👌
Building the lower floors water proof is a wise solution. It stands the test of time best. I used ceramic tiles on the floor, shale on the walls to the maximum level water would rise to.
Worked best.
Very Smart Engineering 👍
This worldly engineering comes from Hell , the Engineer being Satan and his demon's who work through his subjects people with the worldly reason born in Hell to DESTROY US .
Learn the Primordial Universal Supreme Divine Science of LORD Jesus Christ that save soul's . Amen.
@@sotulmeuiubiteternisushris9433 excuse me what
Jakarta, Bangkok, Tokyo.
Manila.
Dhaka.
Houston
What about Venice , Venice is sinking nobody mentions that
Was about Tokyo only. Daa.
Dose it really matter .
I'll bet you deflect from a subject a lot when you don't understand it, but don't feel bad. A lot of people change the subject when it's something they don't understand at all!
Fallacy: Deflection
wow ,sugoi desu ne..takecare
It would be even better without the massive 'Metro Focus' banner spoiling the view of the footage
Metro Focus = another cohort of the global warming and climate change scammers
unbelieveable. and still on a living planet dispite the arrogence of man.
If we build feather line on coastal areas including banks and cover up vast engage regions it maybe give us slightly different results.
And When life must Start Over ...the ones who must start over rebuilding
Everything...will at first think that it was Built as a Temple ...
Nature has always the upper hand whatever the technology you adopt. We can't defeat the nature and learn to live along with it.
so show me the video's of the oceans rising on Tokyo bay other than from a tsunami flooding the coast!!! I'm waiting!!!
How exactly do you show somebody a video of something that takes years to happen?
4:05.. what if there are no electricity? I mean source of electricity..
Very impressive but I’m not surprised. Japan is well known for their technology and advancement. They’re ahead and prepared mostly for everything especially if the country need it. To bad japan is prone for a lot of natural disasters, good thing is recovered so quickly with their money,ability and technology. That’s make Japan different from the rest of the counties. Not to mention,their amazing cultures it’s not perfect but seems mostly works and good progress.
There are as many wells as houses in kathmandu. But aquifers fill again because the roads are shit, full of holes so water goes down again to refill.
$2B USD for that massive project. About 6B USD to renovate Parliament.
What's with Dubai ?
Japan- we’ve Concord mutha nature! AAA-SOOO!!
Mutha nature- .. bonsai..!!
learn to spell both English and anglicized Japanese
Bring all da anime superhero😂🤣
the other problem is that it is happing now but gradually.
Gerard.
And Godzilla
Now if that can generate power, or filter to creat clean water an sell.
Seen rain flood streets in minutes
Our MCAs from Kenya should go to Japan for benchmarking
Ground is sinking. No sea level rise..
@James Lee. The science says otherwise and there are many many lines of reasearch to point to human burning of fossil fuels as the cause of global warming. What have you got beside an unsupported denial??
@James. Two weeks later youve still got nothing. Thanks for proving my point by your silence!
Damn I tought Tokyo never get Flood
Maybe "The Sinking City" title should be given to Jakarta now, coz that's "literally" sinking, LMAO
Damn, nobody bat an eye🤣
NOT RISING SEAS, BUT SINKING GROUND!!!
Yes and global warming doesn't exist, ground is sinking, due to all the sand being dredged and taken from the sea beds, so the sea isn't rising at all, like you say, ground is sinking!
@@rosemarygriffin2184 ground is sinking and the sea is rising 😔
@@rosemarygriffin2184 The sand that is dredged from sea bottoms is very small scale compared to the amount of atmospheric warming which is melting ice in glaciers around the world, but especially in Greenland and Antarctica. The ice lost from those two regions alone amounts hundreds of billions of tons per year which is many times greater then the sand removal.
And in response to D sherm's comment; The sinking ground you refer to is called subsidence and occurs on a geologic time scale meaning over thousands of years which is very unlike the accelerating rate of glacial melt around the world.
Within a couple generations that ice loss has progressed from barely perceptible to hundreds of billions of tons per year. Several places around the world are experiencing increased flooding that is directly attributable to sea level rise. Norfolk, VA, Miami Beach, FL and many more sites are observing an increase in flooding due to high tides alone.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 NO COMMENTS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY PLEASE!!!
Imagine in min 3: 00 alarms ala ALIEN movie buzzing!!
Looks like a place where urban legend monsters hide lol.
Or where the final battle of the good vs badguys happend.
Nice video / documentation. But please do me a favor and make the label "SINKING CITIES: TOKYO" around 34 trillion times bigger because for sure there is one person out there which could not read it as it is actually. lol
"Some say" (i.e. "compulsive fear-sturbators") the flood control system was decades ahead of its time while the rest of us know it's an attempt to mitigate problems Tokyo has always had.
Tokyo has only developed the technology and insight into dealing with this flooding issue in the last couple decades. It has been a problem for some time however the threats from flooding are increasing. The atmosphere is warming because of increased CO2 levels as well as CH4 which retain heat in the atmosphere. It common knowledge that when the temperature increases it can hold more moisture and this inturn leads to more severe and more frequent flooding. The news reports tell of this from all over the world.
It's far more complicated than that and there's a lot that needs to be done about issues like pollution in the oceans that's no being handled while people freak out about an issue that's not understood.....for instance, the early atmosphere of Earth was over 10% carbon dioxide and very humid but we didn't end up like Venus which we've been told is a possibility even though we're no where near the conditions that DIDN'T turn us into venus a couple billion years ago.
We're told we need to worry about low lands and islands like the Maldives.....do we? I'm not certain we need to worry about them at all: Look up the city of Ur and note how far from the Persian Gulf it is. Back in the day it was a coastal city...on that coast that's miles away, today. The Earth's oceans are have never been static....ever....
But they were pollution free not too long so we should work on what we know and start cleaning up the mess we've made.........which would probably solve these other problems we don't understand.
@@bwacuff169 Your post makes a lot assumptions that are incorrect then you worsen your perspective by making CONCLUSIONS on your assumptions.
For example you claim that the earth had CO2 that was 10% of the atmosphere but the earth did not turn out like Venus. The atmospheric pressure of earth's early history was also very low and probably more like that of Mars now. Thus that CO2 concentration of 10% is far below that of Venus which has an high atmospheric pressure HUNDREDS of times that of the early earth's. And don't you think that Venus being 33 MILLION miles closer to the sun would also contribute to its much higher temperature??
You also state that the city of Ur, which is on the Euphrates River and use to be on the coast of the Persian Gulf because the sea level of the Gulf had dropped 2 and a half feet. Your mistake is trying to discredit climate science using this example which is not equivalent to any other city on a coast in the open ocean.
The coast moved away from Ur over THOUSANDS OF years and nothing like the sea level rise of a foot over barely 100 years currently. In addition to that the Persian Gulf is subject to regional influences that the larger ocean is not.
What you did by choosing the city of Ur as an example of sea level decline was a classic example of cherry picking data to fit into your global warming denier bias. Apparently bjectivity was the furthest thing from your mind!
@Michael Deierhoi I'm not attempting to discredit anything...I said we don't fully understand the mechanisms involved and are allowing the argument of uncertainty with that issue to siderail also critical problems we do understand and could be doing something about. You just want to win arguments on the internet, apparently. I'd prefer we start cutting back on our throw-away, shortsighted culture and start cleaning up. Get a clue.
@@bwacuff169 You need to start giving examples to what else you think we need to be addressing besides climate change. The mechanisms for global warming are in fact well enough understood and climate scientists and others are advocating aggressive action now because the longer we wait the worse it is going to be later. The so called skeptics or deniers in disguise or in the minority.
In addition to that we can address climate change issues and other issues at the same time because in we already are. It is often the moneyed interests that stand in thw way of making bold change. Still big changes are gradually accelerating in spite of people like Trump and other authoritarian wantabes and real around the planet.
use a wall like netherlands so water don't come back
Not Tokyo:(
It happenddddaaa
Is there turbines to collect energy, I wonder
on the intake maybe . harvest some energy for the pumps / lighting or to store the energy for blackouts energy going in water going back out lol
God forbid. God can destroy that Facility in a min. But the people of Tokyo are Strong and I admire them. May my Heavenly Father be with them. Amen.
I don't think this will stop the ocean if it rises and never goes down at all.
This infrastructure is far better then doing nothing. In the future if sea level continues which is likely and floods worsen then yes further steps will be needed.
Maybe make a few lakes and prepare for farming
I live in Wisconsin and could care less, cause we have a government that is killing us.
What do you expect when you build on natural flood zones and natural drainage systems. Yes the climate is changing and it always has and always will. What we need are honest people to research problems and solutions not the people who are in it for the money.
And what people are in it for the money? What evidence do you have anyone in this for the money? Climate scientists are not rich so i have no idea what you think is making money off of just studying climate change?!
Or maybe some domes for housing?
3:15 this is totally a japanese.
Wow. That's a big drain
Nature changing, sometime differently,
Cirkle!
BECAUSE of people says LORD JESUS CHRIST ...
The Lord Jesus Christ says:
The man, who is the last link in the chain of creation on planet Earth, is endowed with a free will, by which he can do whatever he wants. Under the impulse of its spiritual power and its material passions, this free being devastates the surface of the Earth, in search of its inner treasures. In this way, the Earth itself becomes ill, having to change its components, be they coarse or subtle (weightable or imponderable). Changes of the Earth will necessarily affect its inhabitants, accelerating the onset of diseases and pushing them further and further along the path of the process of dissolution and transformation. Thus the visible diseases in the plant, animal and human world are triggered.
The Lord Jesus Christ says:
Where Me I'M missing, all progress ceases and there is only death, darkness and eternal hatred.
- people have forsaken the Lord Jesus Christ, because they chose this, they wanted a killer (Satan ) instead of a SAVIOUR ( LORD JESUS CHRIST ).
I have created free people and I cannot intervene in the destiny they assume on their own. They can choose either the ascending Heaven or descending path Hell. Amen! "
The Oceans have been rising since the last big Ice Age. Japan was part of mainland at one time.
@ranndall. Tokyo was never part of the Asian mainland. Japan is formed entirely by volcanic activity millions of years ago. CORRECTION TO THIS COMMENT: I stand corrected. See below.
During the last Ice Age when an enormous amount of water was tied up in glaciers the land was exposed in many places around the world that are now coveted with water. One such place was a broad land bridge between East Asia and Japan. This may have been the time when people migrated to what became Japan.
This explanation in way alters the reality of the rising sea level due to climate change brought about human burning of fossil fuels. Sea level has accelerated in just the last couple decades as CO2 emissions have increased and the atmosphere has warmed more rapidly.
THERE WAS NO ICE AGE, OR CAVEMEN.
And here comes the man who thinks he knows everything.
Wrong, Japan is a volcanic island.
You would know that if you knew what the fuck you were talking about.
Do you not know it has a giant ass fucking volcano on it???
Hell no, I'm going to build an Ark.
@anitahenry398
GOOGLE: God promised never to send a flood upon the Earth again
Genesis 6:17; 9:11
What do you need the ark for?
You have been brainwashed too much by the global warming and climate change scammers who lie about global sea level rise.
Can blame or fine country have expanded their sea
Japan should move the capital back to Kyoto instead of trying to patch a sinking ship.
Another coastal area? Pretty foolish suggestion. I think it should be landlocked.
Better move to a high altitude city and enough away of waterways lol
ultraman leo
Tokyo is ready how about Jakarta RIP.
Tokyo sinking is because the coastal areas of the city was built on reclaimed land from the sea. When the reclaimed land subsides, the streets and buildings sink with it. Since Japan is on an earthquake zone, liquefaction of the reclaimed land during earthquakes would also accelerate the sinking of the reclaimed land. About 95% of all the coastline of Tokyo is artificial and unstable.
It is despicable that the global warming and climate change scammers use the SINKING of places on UNSTABLE GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURES to lie about sea level rise.
GOOGLE: Characteristics of liquefaction in Tokyo Bay area by the 2011 .
Jakarta was built on shallow aquifers from where the Jakartans pump huge amount of ground water for consumption. As a result, the top level of the shallow aquifers collapse and sea water comes in. The flooding of Jakarta is not the result of sea level rise as the global warming and climate change scammers lie about. It's the result of the sinking of unstable geological structure.
The New York coastal areas, especially in Manhattan, are made up of garbage landfills. When the garbage landfills subside, so do the streets and buildings on them. The more frequent flooding is caused by SINKING of the GARBAGE LANDFILLS, not because of sea level rise as the global warming and climate change scammers lie about. GOOGLE: 5 Parts of New York That Are Built On Garbage
The bed rock in Miami is made up of limestone, which is eroded very easily by water leaving sinkholes all over the place and leading to sinking of the city. Again the global warming and climate change scammers are using the SINKING of places on UNSTABLE GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURES to lie about sea level rise. Just despicable!
If sea level rise were real, we should expect all the coastlines along the continents to have the same degree of rise in sea level. But that is not the case. The fact is there is no sea level rise the the past decades and in recent years. In fact an IPCC scientist specialized in researching sea level around the world found no evidence of sea level rise in the last 50 so years. However, he found that the UN IPCC has corrupted his sea level data with fake correction factors to lie about sea level rise due to global warming which is also a lie as well. GOOGLE: UN IPCC Scientist Blows Whistle on Lies About Climate, Sea Level
Compared to Tokyo, Jakarta is sinking at a much faster rate yearly.
Since my last visit in 1984, half the city has dropped by >3 meters now. The Indonesian government plans to move its capital to Kalimantan. Immediate and quick action needed, else..
Looks like tenki no ko is real
COME TO MEXICO ! WE COULD LEARN A LOT FROM YOU PEOPLE
Not even Mexicans want to go to mexico
The sea is not rising..what happens is land is sinking...I was born a raise in Manila which is the past the area itself is a swamp and situated near the sea...I observed that nothing change since 1970..
Sinking City danger!!
Tokyo: Shields up! Weapons Online!!
Jakarta: Allah akbar!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mumbai has same problem and it is more Devastating than Jakarta
Yes god is great
they haven't seen the giant flood yet..
They should have also used the water to make free power.Daaaaaa
Shut up
I hope Jakarta too like Tokyo defend attack sinking ...
bad english
Tokyo is Richest Cities in the 🌎 now they bulid Flood Underground Tunnel
Guess they need to build another one on the opposite side
Then engineers must find out the cheapest alternative to change seawater to tap water and let desert stricken soil possessing countries to pump those tap water to change desert into lush green, arboretum style , many forestry lands with animals inside. Desert stricken countries will use trillions of cubic meters of water to make desert lush green. Turkish engineers have left enginerring and are dealing with management issues, running finance companies , holdings etc.
A lot of tax money someone's got to pay
And they make a big deal about statu of New York haha they should have tourist visiting this site make that 2 billion back at no time
Nothing they can do to stop hail coming period.
Hail is not going to cause a dangerous flood period.
