'fun' fact about the demon core incident. The hole at the top half should have been big enough to stop it from reaching criticality but the guy trying to grasp it as it fell closed the hole just enough with his hand to cause it anyways

[@ignaciosindhu6779]

Indonesia ripping the Dutch flag at 10:41 was actually a real thing on 1945 which somehow triggered a big battle involving the British and stuff(Battle of Surabaya if you interested) But yeah the coincidance that Our and Netherlands flags are very similar does make it easy to produce those red and white flags.

[@Riung69]

Just search the "Yamato hotel incident" if anyone is curious about it

[@MAGNA_FRISIA]

Apparently there is no sense of history used than. because the Dutch flag used by the Dutch V.O.C. at the time was not 'Red' but 'Orange' White Blue. And that, despite the more outstanding qualities, is the reason why this orange white blue will never return as the official national flag of the Netherlands in the future. unfortunately!

[@MAGNA_FRISIA]

Not even mentioning how awesome a Orange White flag as official Indonesian flag would be. Missed opportunity if you asking me.

[@ignaciosindhu6779]

@@MAGNA_FRISIA Well, as I said 'It's a coincidence that Our and Netherlands flags look very similar' cause the flag that happened to be flying at that time was the red white blue variation, which happened to be the closest variation to what the Indonesians had chosen at the time. That wasn't us looking at the Dutch flag and saying "hey that's a nice design, let's take the blue out and make it our own" We've already decided that we want red and white for our flag. And since that flag variation just happened to be flying at the time we took a chance and "modified it a bit" But yeah, if the Dutch back then raised the orange, white, blue variation at the time it would be quite the challenge to replace it with ours.

Always love your videos, Drew! 11:26 I see how the orange-white-blue flag looks cooler and more unique to non-Dutch people. The problem though is that this flag has been co-opted by no-no-German supporters since WWII. Nowadays, it's a symbol of right-wing extremism in the Netherlands. Thought you might want to know 😅 In case you want to know more about the flag and its history, you can google 'Prince's Flag'
