Who would have thought we'd be hearing those bone chilling air raid sirens again?
History repeats.
@BusterPlanet aren't Israelis the aggressors though? What's true
@BusterPlanet from how i see it theres alot of religous perspective of it but i dont really think thats the case i think its just a war between arab tribes that had involves both sides doing such hideous,terrific killings. Because somebody wants a land or a place like that. As a muslim i agree we do have such extremist thoughts but that doesnt represent most of us. From my perspective the Zionist jews also have done horribles things. And the The Al-Aqsa mosque being the center of it, from what i do know now Al-Aqsa mosque or the entire place itself is a multi-prayers area. Including other religion. Theres is a story recorded in history, back when Islam first started the Madinah was once a place where Jews stayed, the Jews welcome Prophet Rasullah(PBUH) to preach in the Madinah with welcome, when the ppl of Madinah elected the Prophet to be the leader, the Prophet himself did many policy regarding the Jews like Always giving privacies,respect,honor,voices to them and also enforce rules to keep order between ppl inside madinah. I do believe 1 day we would united and bring peace. Thank You if you read this (-~-)
@BusterPlanet what a bullshit claim you made. You can't play the victim card forever and doing same to Gaza. Does that ring a bell
@BusterPlanet Israel doesn't just exist there. It's on stolen land and continues to steal land through settlements. It has a blockade on the Palestinians and treat them like second class citizens. Don't act like a victim. Your Iron Dome, paid for by the US tax payers, keeps y'all safe while the same can't be said for the Palestinians.
It always does , whats more scary bombs or the virus ?

i never imagined in my lifetime, i will hear this
We have no air raid sirens in the UK now. The idea is to text everyone, but they forget the mobile networks will all be shut down during the transition to war phase!
😅😅😅😅🇷🇺🇷🇺💪💪💪
The mobile networks will be shut down for general non-emergency use. Emergency use (e.g. for the text system) will no doubt continue to be available. The masts will keep working, they just won't let you use them.
We still have air raid sirens, they are hard to come by and are not operational.
what if we don't mobile phones etc? what a stupid idea
@@prof.sirjeffreydarling-mil3463 what if you're deaf? I'd wager there are far more deaf people than people without phones these days.
Can’t imagine being there and hearing that sound, the feeling of knowing what’s about to happen uuuugh

but i didnt cuz i thought we are going to school.

The fact you’ll never forget that sound when this becomes part of history
The moment when you remove your earphones but you still hear the sirens
oh gods no
This reminds me of the last declaration by Poland when the Nazis invaded
@Dimitri Kovač Yeah I know, the history of that radio broadcast was vastly different but I get the same emotions for some reason
Its 2022 and we are still hearing this dreadful sound…
Самое рвущее душу видео об этой войне. Мой Киев. Моя страна. Ещё города не разрушены. Ещё все живы.
Sirens give me terrible anxiety so if cant imagine how horrible it would be to actually be there this is unrealistic but I hope everyone there stays safe
oh my lord imagine how it would feel to hear that.......
dawg that's terrifying
Those siren sounds are definitely frightening!!!
Stay strong Ukrainian brother! Greetings from France! Glory to those defending themselves and their motherland! 🇫🇷🇺🇦👍

The most terrifying sound ever to exist!!!!
Does every country have these sirens? I remember watching silent Hill and these would come on in the movie too. That's terrifying
Can’t even imagine being those ppl on the streets of Ukraine rn
Imagine that sounds as your alarm clock to be wake up..
imagine driving and u hear that siren
Ukraine 🇺🇦
One of the sound that scare me the most.
Those sirens itself is already scary…!!
That sound is horrible
This sound is terrifying
chilling. god these poor people i’m so sorry
May our hearts go out to this strong country. Ukraine, you're in our prayers 🇺🇦🇨🇦
Just keep America and their financial interests out and it will be much less
People seems calm just walking slowly there in the background
That's crazy and scary
Brings out soo many bad memories from Iraq. I lost so many good people who were happily living before these damn sirens went off. They all gone now 😓
I can just imagine the panic that people in Ukraine felt waking up to the sound of war
almost every day at 6 am i hear it’s , lol
I remember morning 24th of February. I was outdoor when I heart it first time. There are few people around, they seemed calm. I was scared, maybe all of them was scared, but they did not panic.
@@vladmelnik8036 йоу
Why was I hearing these sirens at my school in London
Russia's government should be punished for this. Hold on Ukraine.
Why?
Lord Jesus Christ, please protect the people inside Ukraine and its affected neighbors. With Your divine aid, may peace be with them. Amen.
He could have intervened by now but hasn’t, ever thought of that? He’s a sadist.

Move on Ukrainians. May God save you.
Never thought I'd hear those bone chilling air raid sirens in in my lifetime and it actually be for real.. have we really learned nothing from history!!!
prayers for them & whoever gets in the way of this war🥺🙏🏽
As a muslim, I pray for the miracles from God as every life counts in this world no matter what colours, races or religion you are practicing. May God protect everyone in Ukraine! This is so sad and scary to watch at the same time! My thoughts and prayers are with you 💕🥺

I've heard the sirens in Israel. They sound really scary😬😬😬

What a scare sound.
The siren you hear in IGI when the enemy spots you
Why do cars moving still
Quand t’entends ça, ça sent mauvais
This sound make me cry
This is sad, scary😔
🤣😂😂
We have seen war, we have carried the bodies of our loved ones in bombings, we have seen deserted villages and cities, so I hate war and I am against the war everywhere in the world.
Please stop the war and stop invasion 🙏
well the media got what it wanted.
I thought they were an assignment saying there would be peace and there would be no more wars
Very strange to see a happy ad before these kinds really serious of videos. Shame on you Independent.
yes!
Reminds me of the one from Silent Hill!
This is terrible
I just hope and pray this doesn’t turn into WW3😭
A girl from Russia she experienced this Chaos she’s my friend she said it was so scary and is still scared that’s gonna happen here
The sound of incoming death and destruction....
we need to immediately stop the aggression against civilians
What happens next?
terryfing to hear these
This sound is can’t lie my worst nightmare. Even learning war in school I hated it.
I saw this 10 years ago
This ain't going to end well 🌍🔥☢️
Sounds like Lithuania
gods I hoped we wouldn't have to hear this siren again
history repeats itself it’s sad.
god this is so creepy and scary at the same time the sirens really are scary, i wish good luck to people living in ukraine
This happens every single day in Ukraine and the siren also occasionally does the “click, click, click, click. warning air raid siren stay in shelter until it’s over” they didn’t show this but it becomes more terrifying when it comes. Idk why.
How scary 😱 ever so sad 😞
To much horrible sound
All 'UNITED'. What is happening to this world.💔🇬🇧🇺🇦🇷🇺❤
Imagine being on the streets minding your own business and you head the sirens…
Слава Україні 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Why’s everyone acting like it’s WW3. This happens literally every day around the world.
Agree 🤣
I think you don't know anything about the situation. Though this directly doesn't cause WW3 (it might have, but the west chickend out when the threat became real), but the attention now being on Ukraine and Russia, many people think China might see it's time to strike and attack Taiwan, which would absolutely start WW3, if the Americans keep their word.
We all know and It's going to get worse. Russia and China will eventually tag team the West. I'm only suprised it hasn't happened yet. This isn't WW3. That's still coming. It makes me laugh how people freak out over it cause for all this enlightenment you think you have, turns out you don't know sh*t.
Educate yourself before you speak it could end in world war 3 if so we are all finished we live in very dangerous times . Pray for Peace ✌
@@StCausesARuckus Bro, I think we're gonna need another 55 days in Beijing soon.

From where the sound is coming 😳😳😳😳😐😐😐😐😐😳😳😳😐😐😐😰😰😰😨😨😨😨😰😨😨😰
Seems like it is from underground. Like all ground around is screaming.
Um... they are on the outskirts of the city
No matter where you are from, when you hear those sirens you know death is just around the corner if it is in the form of a ballistic missile, bomber, or natural disaster.
