Experience the London Blitz in 360 VR 

Jesus Christ. That was terrifying. I'm not watching it in full VR, just on my laptop. I'd made the mistake of turning it up full volume with my headphones in, and I'm using a volume enhancer that wasn't even up that high, and about a second after I did, the bomb hit and I literally just flinched and panicked for a second. Can't imagine what it'd be like being there.

I can’t even imagine this. Watching things like this reminds us that sometimes our own problems are really very minor and insignificant.

the first bomb to hit the ceiling made me feel like I was going to have a heart atrack

my great grandparents lived through this and saw literal streets being completely obliterated. so hard to imagine how terrifying it must have been.

There is one thing missing from almost all the blitz sounds. The sound of the bombers, which was a continuous throbbing, which carried on throughout the raid.

These must of been tough times for the British.

I like that it is holborn tubestation that they use here. With over 40 HE bombs per 100 acres, Holborn was one of the hardest hit places during the London blitz, together with the City and Westminster.

Damn, hearing all those sirens wing up one after another in all clear is chilling

How r the people still sleeping

While watching this in vr, I almost died from the bomb jumpscare. Hats off to the people who lived through this.

Truly terrifying, may we never forget the struggles of the people who experienced this in real life.

How does one sleep through a bombing raid?

My grandma has memories of when bombers mistakenly bombed Ireland. She lives in Dublin and remembers the bombs exploding in what she described as ‘banging noises’ and she remembers the throbbing/buzzing noises of the planes. She was just 1 year old at the time. Her parents would tell her stories while the bombs fell and closed her ears. The bombs is what woke her up at night. However because she was so small she doesn’t remember being scared.

I felt like a nazi was going to pop up in my face

Ngl this is the best video to feel the Blitz that I've seen. Watching videos with footage, explaination, etc, is all good but this video of just sitting in the Underground with people keeping calm and carrying on (though that poster was rarely used) is probably the best way of actually getting a feeling of the Blitz. Sitting in a pre-made accidental bomb shelter, listening to the German bombers overhead, the flak and sirens as well as the occasional night fighter while just hoping they didn't score a direct hit on the station. The fact that it's VR /interactive makes it so much better, with the sounds and flickering lights as bombs disrupt the power lines.

you could make this into a horror game

I will never forget this experience man!

When all of the alarms went off at near 3:00 my heart sank and I was terrified out of my life this is my face when I heard it. 😓😕😶😮

The sound of maybe babies crying and general human noises of fear would've made this even more horrofying and realistic, great work tho and all my love and respect to those who were /are affected by this.

The darkest time of history..... Oh how rough it would have been for them! Imagine being a little child running outside, parents lost, no one to save you

I kept the view on the people sleeping. I thought they would awake.

Hard to imagine living in these times. God bless everyone that died ❤. My grandad was an evacuee during WW2 so I keep wondering if he ever had to hear these awful sounds.

I did this with my samsung VR headset with my galaxy s7 at 2am with the volume up to 70%... Damn, scared the shit outta me when the first bomb hit that made the lights go out lol

i have to write a descriptive piece about what it would have been like for my english class and this video really helped me,ty

By September 1940-two months into the battle-faulty German intelligence suggested that the Royal Air Force (RAF) was close to defeat at the hands of the Luftwaffe. The German air fleets (Luftflotten) were ordered to attack London, thereby drawing up the last remnants of RAF Fighter Command into a battle of annihilation. British fighter production rose from 256 in April to 467 in September 1940-more than enough to cover the losses of BOB-and Fighter Command emerged triumphantly from the Battle of Britain in October 1940 with MORE aircraft than it had possessed at the beginning !!

My late parents went to the underground in the war. Must have been terrifying and also very cold

Someone could make this into an atmospheric horror game were you are lost in the London train tunnels while a bombing raid is going on. for instance: you're the only one on a train platform when the bombs drop and seal you in with rubble, now you have to find a way out while the thumping of bombs exploding topside.

When the war alarm went off it scared the shit out of me and thought It was in real life

Both of my parents....as children, were bombed out of their respective homes in Birmingham. They got to recognise the type of bombers flying overhead by the sound of their engines.

I watched this at school and it was so funny cuz everyone just started screaming and laying on each other when the lights went out 💀 Edit: there was also that one kid who just doesn’t get scared and he was rlly entertained

Wow, that would have been really scary back then, no wonder they sang whilst the blitz was going on

This is great, I am going to use this in my summer school history class this week.

Mate, I only need ask my old dad....he lived through it.

Dude this is so dope

The Germans were told not to bomb civilian targets but a group of bombers on there way to bomb a factory had mistaken Liverpool for said factory and bombed it so Churchill ordered a bombing strike against Berlin and Hitler changed the order and told bombers to hit London repeatedly

"When you ride alone, you ride with Hitler" OUCH, THAT IS DEEP

I tried this with a headset and vr… I think I’m shell shock

i didnt know this was possible this is so cool

You should do one on the Titanic.

Wow…. That was the most scariest thing I’ve ever seen. Even the sound of those sirens were scary.

felt like a poor british ciziten having to endure the blitz nice actually felt nervous (forgot to put in)

We have now re-uploaded this video in 3D! View here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hOivTNx5m6U.html

Best with headphones on.

First time I have ever experienced a 360 deg video where you can turn from side to side in the video. Very interesting, very unnerving when the lights went out at the end.

Get headphones Make it full volume lay back Close your eyes tight And set ur phone in ur pocket You just felt what the sleeping people felt

How in the world are the people still sleeping when theres a loud bomb that hit the subways

It feels like a horror movie.

wow that was lifelike!

The Blitz is a reminder of how tragically innocent civilians from all walks of life can be targeted in violence on a mass scale which is something that unfortunately continues to this day in the form of terrorism and other acts.

R.I.P Holborn station

For about 90 nights London became an Underground city.

When the screen was shaking omg It felt like an earthquake

And to think my grandma had to go through this. I was give her a big big hug next time I see her.

Love this! Some interesting prop posters, however. At least one ("Ride with Hitler") is American rather than British. And the Liquid Productions poster is obviously the makers of the video having fun. But this is awesome.

Damn, that was scary!

Opening this video "hello citizens of london im from 2020"

NGL this scared me. During World War Two my Great Grandad was disposing (somehow) of bombs. Also this felt like something outta FNAF.

Just to imagine I am 10 mins away from a city which faced this situation and had no safety of the underground.

My grandma survived the blitz. She died in 2007, 2 years before I was born

The music and the blankets are more scary than the bombs.

I thought there was going to be a giant bomb crashing in

This is outstanding

This was wild. I can only imagine what they actually went through.

This scared the living shit out of me. I can imagine how much of a nightmare it was back then lol

Multiply this by several hours then multiply by 59 consecutive nights. Then add many, many more nights. A few years later there's the V1s and the V2s. Churchill had ordered that the underground railway stations be kept locked at night. He thought sheltering in these stations would look like cowardice which could be catching! Londoners ignored him and broke into the stations and saved their lives. My mother was in Liverpool and she was bombed out of her house twice. She was tired of starving, so she joined the WAAFs, was sent to Yorkshire where her aerodrome was again bombed by the Luftwaffe. Her elder sister was made homeless and spent days pushing a pram with two boys in looking for accommodation in Liverpool, but because she had children she wasn't welcome. On top of that, you could emerge from sheltering only to find your house bombed and possibly looted. Took years for my dad to persuade my mum to drive through Germany (to Switzerland for a holiday). He spoke fluent German was blonde and blue eyed. They thought he was German. He had been in RAF Bomber Command. Funny old world, as he used to say.

just casually playing George Gershwin songs in the background while being _Bombed_

Just knowing that my Great Nan would have had to experience that was terrifying

This is sick

this scared me a ton, but since the title is blitz, in the back of my mind i was just like: *gettin bored of walls 2, i should find a new minigame...*

That was amazing.

Bruh Holborn station be looking the same till this day

Me: *Stopped this video at air raid siren segment* Siren: *Keeps playing* Me: Wait, are you joking??? A few moments later: War sounds

OMG THIS IS FEELING REAL THE SUSPENSION IS KILLING ME!!!!

AHHH I HAVE NO FEET

For a second i was sitting here and I actually thought i heard the sirens go off outside my window

nice vid

That echo down the tunnel is horrifying......

0:17: in the mood 1:14: IN THE SHIT

This is a really good experience

I went to Stockport air raid shelters and we counted to 15 in the darkness (blackout) and the shelter could fit 40k people! We also tried on gas masks.

I just can’t imagine how horrible this must‘ve been - when you went sleeping you already knew that you had to run for your life in the middle of the night ...

lmao I put my headphones on and turned on full volume on my phone the second those alarms started my heart dropped and I thought world war 3 started I ran outside to my neighbor's house and told them to quickly get their stuff and they looked at me like I was an insane person.

My teacher sent us this and I had fking headphones on. I didn't even realise it was the vidoe bro- I ligit was panicking for a hot minute and then I only realised.

Everyone: sleeping during the battle Me: watches Netflix and chill

Must be pretty unsettling being in the dark subway tunnels at 3 AM hearing those bombs and sirens going on.

Omg whilst this was on my mum played Sirens like them because she heard this on my laptop and I literally gave up with life and hid under the desk... I thought I was gonna die. So dumb.

This is great. I loved it. Just some notes. Holborn starion is a very deep tube. You would not have heard sirens or plane engines. Bombs woukd be muffled considerably. Tube shelteres must not lie within 6ft of the platform edge. If I had your skills, I would have picked Earls court or another shallower station. Sirens sound for one minute. Hope this is useful factual info.

Who else has there volume down and is scrolling through the comments

That's amazing.

I have the blitz experience scent from Eden camp to enhance this

I,m in The Blitz 🔥🔥🔥

SC1000 would have been that massive blast at the start.

Me chilling with my scout buddies in a sleep over playing lofi and relaxing ww2 sounds in the blitz

You wouldn't hear that much in an underground station. Nearby explosions maybe. Gunfire unlikely and engines absolutely not. You probably wouldn't even hear engines at ground level, the planes were thousands of feet up. A maximum effort bomber command raid, 800+ Lancasters and halifaxes, would be completely silent to those on the ground.

Was waiting for a renegade scientist to run through holding a crowbar.

I used my credit headset. Amazing.

I'm guessing the sirens either could be a Carter, Castle Castings, Klaxon/Secomak GP12, Klaxon/Secomak GP8 or Gents

Hey that's me!

Did anyone else notice a Dig for Victory poster?

1:15 that scared the shit out of me I jumped out of my skin
