All fun and games until you pause the video and the alarm doesn’t stop
-
I love how informative and personal Japan’s tv warning is, while the US is just like “beeeeeeeeeep good luck lol”

I had a phone alert today in Lithuania. It was terrifying. We were all notified of a supercell storm head towards Vilnius. I was so terrified when the alert sounded.

For those curious on how the Japanese alert systems work: for phones, it’s the same as it is now for everyone else with iPhones. Every phone has its own alert tone, but the one shown was old. For TV, the initial ring is to get your attention, they announce it and bring it to a camera, when you hear a small chime, that means it’s hit the area since the alert is earlier than the actually quake hitting the surface. The tsunami beeping turns the radio and other devices on incase of power outages. It’s not cute, it’s terrifying.

Everybody says that the Japanese one is exceptionally calm, but please realize that Japanese people are way different and feel those warnings differently, since earthquakes are almost their "daily" bread.

Fun fact: Greece’s EAS Is scary because almost no one follows the rules.

8:54 True story: this happened to me as well. When we were watching a show from Univision, the screen stopped and a black screen showed up with words typing, and hearing a female voice on the intercom. I’m also a Spanish person. Example: Soy de Ecuador, y me gusta el color rojo, y azul

(Not so) fun fact: Japan's EAS alert automatically turns on your tv Edit: I forgot to mention it does so at maximum volume (Thank you tredl9100)

The end of the Japanese TV one is terrifying, the dude on the TV was scared and told everyone to save their lives, yet people say that the Japanese one is the most calm one it's one of the only ones that gave me chills.

For the Location Unknown one in 9:25 , it's been determined that this was an EAN (Emergency Action Notification) message transmitted on Univision 27 in the Chico/Redding area, according to NorCalDude599 and AnEAShasbeenissued. Hope this helps!

9:25 For those who can't translate the message here you go: First Message: During This Emergency All Stations will be Open to Recieve News and Inform the Public in Designated Areas. This is K20 FZ. We will continue to serve you in the North Sacramento Valley. If you are not in this Local Area, Contact Your Local Station For News and Information. 2nd Message: You are listening to the Northan Sacramento Valley Emergency Alert System Service. Do Not Use Your Phone Telephone Lines Should Be Open for Emergency Use. The Emergency Alert System has been Activated.

From the Japanese point of view: In Japan, small earthquakes occur daily throughout the country. The only time an alert like the one in this video is issued is when there is a direct threat to life. Those who say they are not afraid are saying this because they do not live in Japan. The generation of Japanese who experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake have this sound etched into their spines.

If you've ever seen one of those Japanese alerts, the newsreaders can be in the middle of the fluffiest news story and laughing their heads off and the second the little chime goes off, they instantly go dead serious like somebody backstage threw a switch. It's impressive.
-
Props to the guy who traveled all over the world just to get alerts.
-
The Canadian television warning was unintentionally creepy, with that unnatural text-to-speech voiceover...
-
China: There's an earth quake. Jerusalem: Just a friendly reminder that your free trail of life is about to expire!
-
When I lived in Japan, the warnings were accurate and prompt before you can feel tremors. They definitely take it very seriously.
-
I like how japan actually gives proper information, care about other peoples life and repeat themselves about the emergency . But in Us they just give a message, the alarm and some random voiceover.
