This list ignores an additional detail of the Cuba Chrisis. A Soviet submarine with nuclear torpedos was cut off from communications and the captain believed war had started. As the batteries were empty it would have to return to the surface, near US warships. The two ranking officers voted to use the nuclear torpedos. A third senior officer was on board by coincidence. He voted no. As the decision had to be unanomious a nuclear war was averted- by chance. 😱

@MichaelPop72 Год назад

So, first off I am an epidemiologist that recently left residency at the CDC in ATL. and I was pleasantly surprised that the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic wasn’t listed here. There are many facts that aren’t known to the public and so even though it was a pandemic it in no way would have brought about an apocalyptic event. So as I stated, I was glad this wasn’t mentioned or made the list. Also, Chernobyl could have decimated Europe and “close by” countries/continents, but by no means could it have caused the “ending of the world.” It wouldn’t have made it stateside either way. Most of these episodes were possible, but others are simply “grasping straws.”

@bababanana2862 Год назад

In regards to #1, while comet Hyakutake came 13 times closer to earth than Hale-Bopp (1995), Hyakutake was 1.5 miles across at the most, while Hale-Bopp was 37 miles. To put it in perspective, the meteor that killed the dinosaurs was 6 miles across. You could have done so much better on this list. Edit: mixed up miles and kilometers, not 12 miles. It only makes that little fun fact more terrifying, though.

John Kennedy shouldn’t take full credit for resolving the Cuban Missile Crisis. Nikita Khrushchev also played things safe during the crisis, despite being pestered by Fidel Castro and Ernesto “Che” Guevara to help out Cuba in case of an American invasion. Vasili Arkhipov also played a key role by persuading Captain Valentin Savitsky to surface their submarine and await orders from Moscow, a persuasion that effectively averted nuclear war.

Kennedy was the reason the missile crisis got so big in the first place. He was willing to start a war over those missiles. He resolved a crisis which he basicly created.

@@rosemadder5547 We are talking about an asteroid with less than one-millionth the mass of the Chixulub impactor, so the chances of it hitting a spot so especially dangerous are also vastly less. For another comparison, it was about the same size as some estimates make the 1908 impact over Tunguska Siberia. That one flattened hundreds of square miles of forest but few if any deaths thanks to the fortunate fact it exploded over a wilderness rather than a city. But even if it had exploded over New York City, the effects would have been confined to New York state and the surrounding states and not greatly affected, say, New England or the District of Columbia. It would be the greatest disaster in human history, yes. A world-ender, no. It probably wouldn't even end the United States as a going concern, though it would knock us down as an economic superpower and have major global effects for a considerable time. But it would be no worse than if a moderately large nuclear bomb had exploded there - which of course would be bad enough. For another comparison it was only 100 times as massive as the Chelyabinsk impactor, which exploded high in the sky and had only relative cosmetic effects on the city below.

I felt more research should’ve been put into this video, given some of the inconsistencies in size and distance in regards to with the asteroids and comets. The Great Dying easily would’ve been number one. It occurred over 252 million years ago. A large igneous province in Siberia had expelled significant amounts of dust and debris into the atmosphere, completely dwarfing any volcano in size and scale over the course of a million years. As much as 96% of life on earth was lost as a result, and is by far the closest life on earth had come towards extinction. Even though this video is for entertainment purposes, at least have organization and consistency in these lists.

i hate that everyone says that an astoroid that small would end humanity, for an astoroid to actually end us, it would have to be at least 1.5KM (approx. 1 mile) in diameter, not some 300 feet. That asteroid would caus major damage in a local area but not a world ending apocalyps

interesting that the Earth has been here for billions of years and according to this video has had 6 close near extinction events with asteroids or comets since the 80's and another one expected in 2029.

One possible scenario that could end the world is earth getting hit by a gamma-ray burst. We would not see it coming and could not do anything about it.

At the very beginning it says what could've been spelled end of MODERN SOCIETY, the human race OR the planet as we know it...i would think Russia is extremely behind technology wise and many other areas...i would say that even ended their modern society at the time
