Each year we are always looking back and reflecting on ourselves and hoping for a better future
And we make plans and resolutions to either get in better shape save more money
Or just be better people
But as the years go by we discover that there are some things beyond our control
That makes a year turn out to be an absolute terrible one and here on FTD facts today
We are looking at some of the worst things that happen in
2017 hey everybody what's going on Dave Walker here and welcome to FTD facts that channel will regenerate?
Country videos and talk about people cultures and places from all around the world
but for this video I decided because it's the end of
2017 we should look back and find out
What was really bad about it, but either way for me the reason we're doing this is because well
I always thought when people said that 2016 and did when they were like oh my god
This is the worst year ever because we had so many people died so many celebrities
I'm like knapp
2017 is gonna be way worse just you see and it's so far been
Proven that it has been the worst year and these are some of the reasons why now keep in mind for this video some of
These are really serious things that happen to society and people from all around the world and some of them are just annoying little things
That you know are not on the grand scheme
But I just had to put these in because they personally pissed me off either way
Let's get started and what that might I want to know what is the worst thing that's happened to you this year
Let me know down there in the comment section below so number 10. We're just gonna start it off Kim Kardashian is pregnant well
Let's just face it for all the fans out there you may be mad at this one
For being the first one we talked about but most people are just fed up with hearing about the vanity of her and Kanye West
however fortunately the amount of stories and hijinks, we've heard about Kim Kardashian and Kanye seemed to have been faded out since
2016 number 9 Toys R Us. Going bankrupt, okay, let's be honest when we look at a business going bankrupt
We're not going. Oh my god. That is terrible. It's the worst thing alive
I know it's kind of pathetic in a sense, right
but however if you look at it from this point when they declared bankruptcy on September 19th of
2007 for their Canadian stores, it makes you really second-guess if kids are really using their imagination by playing with toys
Or if they are all just stuck watching social media and playing video games at being told what to like
But however for the company's stores in Canada
They are still open under credit protection
But it makes you wonder when the biggest toy store in the world will finally go under number 8 Star Wars Episode 8 sucked
Okay, I get it you're all like Dave. You're a fanboy and you probably did not like that movie well
Here's the thing it's not just me that didn't like it because as a matter of fact
Star Wars Episode 8 has had very mixed reviews to the point where even Mark Hamill went out to say that he did not like
the direction of the movie only to apologize later
Probably due to the fact that he got into some trouble maybe with his agent
They were like yeah, you shouldn't say stuff like that because you're never gonna get work again
But nonetheless the movie in its opening weeks
Got praised by critics
But had a 53%
audience review on Rotten Tomatoes now some fans have branded the worst Star Wars movie since the prequels which are known to be
Notoriously bad and some fans have said that
2017 was the year that Star Wars died and of course it had great visuals
but the movie itself was filled with plot holes that didn't make sense to the plot line and of course when Star Wars fails to
cheer people up
You know that 2017 sucked number 7 getting serious right now, North Korea firing missiles now people are saying that
2017 marked the year that North Korea became a threat to the US mainland
However beforehand and North Korea had no missiles that could reach the continental United States
however throughout the year there has been approximately 17 missile tests and by September 3rd of
2017 North Korea had stated that it had tested its sixth nuclear test with the United States
geographical survey and China's earthquake network center reporting an earthquake of the magnitude of
6.3. Happened near one of North Korea's nuclear test sites and of course because of this hint of an earthquake
It's thought that it was actually a nuclear test
Immediately after allied countries met to discuss the issue and even Donald Trump stated on Twitter that the country had conducted a nuclear test
Number 6 Donald Trump becoming president sure Donald Trump may be protecting America's interests or so he says
But when he became president it had Americans lashing out at other Americans for supporting Donald Trump
Or simply hating on them either way it started a whole movement towards Donald Trump being called not my president
It also began campaigns to have states like
California signing petitions to join Canada and the whole thing seemed as if America was going to have another civil war on its hands
However most of these comments and statements have been since lost and forgotten and America has settled with their new president however
Let's not forget that Donald Trump has pissed off a lot of individual groups such as animal
activists when he allowed the sales of ivory and of course he pissed off the
LGBT community when he said that people who were LGBTQ could not serve in the military great one Donald Trump
And by the way that was complete sarcasm aimed at the man with the funny hair number five bombings and shootings
Okay this one
I'm not going to go into too much detail about guys because it is really quite a sad thing that it's happened and there's been
a lot of lives lost over bombings and shootings from either terrorist acts or
Wackos with a gun and some of these two lists are the ariana grande concert The Jerusalem truck attack
Baghdad bombings Pakistan bombings the Texas church shooting the Vegas and Paris shooting and as well as the Stockholm and Fort Lauderdale
Attack and that is just the tip of the iceberg guys there were so many more this year of these really terrible acts
Number four the Harvey Weinstein scandal, this is probably one of the biggest scandals that happened in
2017 and it brought light to some terrible things that are happening in Hollywood this happened after New York Times posted a story about
sexual abuse from Harvey Weinstein shortly after actresses like Ashley Judd and Rose McGowan
Came forward stating that they were true and of course Harvey Weinstein tried to apologize for this
But you know you can't really apologize for sexual abuse. You just shouldn't do it in the first place
It's just the way it is and since then many
Actresses have come forward great ones like Judi Dench and Meryl Streep and even some male actors like George Clooney saying that these acts are
Indefensible and on top of that since these allegations came out in the light many other actors and musicians have had sexual allegations
Put against them and as for Harvey Weinstein he has had numerous awards and Status points taken from him
And he's even resigned from the board of his own company as well
He is permanently banned for life from The Producers Guild of America and for the rest of Hollywood well
We'll see what happens number three the Mexico earthquakes now this one
I had to put in there because Mexico had two
really really bad earthquakes this year this central Mexican earthquake hit on September 19th of
2017 measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale as well as the central Mexico earthquake happened 12 days after the Chiapas earthquake
Which happened on September 7th and measured 8.2 on the Richter scale this central Mexico earthquake had 40 buildings destroyed
over 6,000 injured and killed
370 people and as for the Chiapas earthquake it had taken the lives of 98 people with over 300 injured
And it was the second strongest earthquake in Mexico's history and the strongest one of 2017 number 2 hurricane
Irma and Maria hurricane Irma has been recorded as the second strongest hurricane ever recorded with winds of
185 miles per hour it began on August 30th and dissipated by September 16th
It was the first hurricane to hit the leeward islands, and it is the second costliest hurricane in Caribbean history, which caused
134 deaths and sixty six point seven billion dollars in damage
And know shortly after that it was followed by Maria
Which is the most destructive hurricane in terms of cost in the Caribbean?
it was also the third largest in the entire world when it comes to destruction cost and the first in Puerto Rico as
For Maria it started on September
16th and went till October 3rd and this particular hurricane took the lives of five hundred and forty seven people and of course had
103 point four five billion US dollars in damages and when Maria hit 95
percent of the people in Puerto Rico were left without power and only
392 miles of the country's over five thousand miles were drivable and besides, Puerto Rico in the Caribbean places like st
Martin Antigua and Barbuda had up to
90% of their structures completely destroyed and number one probably the worst of them all is the Mayan maar ethnic cleansing now
You'd think after the Second World War there would be nothing like this happening however people?
Just don't seem to learn from history and since it began in August as of December over six hundred and forty thousand people who?
Identify as Rohan Jia Muslims who live in the Rakhine State have fled the country to Bangladesh in fear of prosecution
and although 90% of the country is identified as Buddhists the Muslim and Buddhist communities have had several clashes and
military interventions with excessive violence and force
one of the reasons for this is that Muslims are not treated equally within the country and
specifically for this year the Rohingya Muslims have been target number one for their police and military
Forces and one big problem for these people is that Bangladesh, which is a country that is next door
They have
Refused to take them in which in turn is having these people live in camps while having hundreds sneaking across the border each day
So what are your thoughts about this guys these are some of the bad things that happen in?
