Um engineers don't actually do the building. That would be the contractors, the architects draw the plans. All engineers do is tell you what you need to do the job or how to fix it. All of these are construction fails, not engineering.
I have been an electrical contractor for many years in the large commercial and industrial setting. Almost all of the serious/dumb things we have ran into have been designed by architects or engineers and when we send R.F.I’sTo get the problem redesigned since we don’t have the authority to make onsite changes, it takes an incredibly long time for such a simple thing. Usually we are eventually instructed to install by contract drawings and that’s where you get a lot of “mistakes”.
LOL depending on the type of engineer we are talking about. Most if not all of the contractors I meet are engineers and they hire engineers to looak after the site. Besides, engineering is not exclusive dor licensed engineers just like art is for everyone and not just for pro artists. But ofc, engineers in their own field are expected to know better than non-engineers.
This is such a terrible video. Almost all of these are not engineering mistakes. Instead, they are contractor mistakes, photos with no backstory, or just straight photoshopped (the wall going through the toilet). I can't believe 2k+ people have liked it.
In a couple of cases, it's clear that an item was discontinued or in the process of being replaced. I think that the misaligned bridge is a classic photoshop.
In one of the examples an exit door is obviously placed where a platform or floor once stood as you can see the exposed brickwork. Also in some old buildings windows get bricked up by the occupants, especially if it is a business. In England when you go along the canal tow paths you see lots of doors that seem to lead to death as they are on the upper floor. However, many used to have a hoist on them to lift cargo out of the barges and on the wall above you can sometimes see the remnants of the fixings. Also in England, windows were bricked up in many houses leaving just the outline with it's lovely shaped brickwork because at one time property owners were made to pay taxes for each window.
Exactly how can the workers on mis~aligned bridges roads and train tracks not see it coming before the problem ends get even close? Some of these are simply stairway doors closed off but the stairs remaining. Severe incline ramps perhaps for passifying ignorant inspectors.
@Terry Weaver The picture showing the pole in between the train tracks: The tracks have obviously not be used for a long time. Note the grass and weeds growing between the tracks and the rust on the tracks themselves.
The second of the two low installed ATM machines is in my home city. It’s long since been removed and bricked up but you can see the outline in the brickwork where it used to be.
“It’s estimated 245 million Americans ride an escalator daily” there are only 328 million Americans. This cannot be true. You could say 245 million trips are taken on American escalators.
I don't blame only the engineers. I fault the guys who actually built/constructed the things. At some point, someone should have picked up on the blatant errors.
Many, many, many, times, these things DO get pointed out and "RFI"s (Request For Information) get submitted only to have the engineers, architects NOT RESPOND while the General Contractor wants the work to continue so "The Schedule" for completion can be met. There may be "penalties" for completion delays so what is one to do??? Build it like it's shown on the plan!!!! Even than, the craftsman/sub-contractor can be "in trouble" because "you are supposed to KNOW BETTER"!!
Half toilet: When my house was built, the upstairs was left unfinished until I could afford to finish it. The plumbing and walls were stubbed out. When I went to finish it, the toilet drain was too short for the toilet to clear the wall. I had to build a recess in the wall for the tank and back of the toilet. On a later house I had built, the contractor built a concrete porch and its roof. Unfortunately, the roof missed the porch by several feet. We had to close on the house unfinished, because we knew the contractor was going bankrupt. He left at least 12 houses unfinished. My employer built a new building. To save money on electricity, they installed motion-detector lighting switched---with too short time on. Ive carried a small flashlight ever since. They also made rooms between rooms that would lock automatically, trapping you in with no phone. Misplaced-timey clocks hung over outlets to hide the power source, and couldn be relcated. School and office clocks grequently were wired such that they could be controlled by a central office. I once built a clock into a wall, with the battery and controls on the other side of the wall. Interfeeing trees: too close to the foundation or driveway and the roots will destroy your foundationeering trees, and the tree will prbably die soon anyway and have to be taken down.
People are overly critical in this videos comment section jeez. It's just an entertaining list video, People need to enjoy themselves more in life...I enjoy your video thanks for Uploading💯👍
Numer 13 regarding the train lines, most of those rails look rusty. Chances are they are lines not being used anymore and they didn't want to pay to have the track ripped up so they just built over the track. Wouldn't call it a mishap or a fail.
The picture showing the pole in between the train tracks: The tracks have obviously not be used for a long time. Note the grass and weeds growing between the tracks and the rust on the tracks themselves.
I've actually seen a few houses with trees going through the middle of the living room going through the roof. But it was completely done on purpose and wasn't a fail. They looked awesome and thought they were the coolest thing.
When I was in College, we had a building that everyone hated having classes because it was hard to find classrooms. Sometimes you would have to enter one classroom to get to the door for your classroom. I’m sure there is a floating door somewhere. The irony? It was the Engineering Building 😂🤣
Hmmm. So MY question (about the wall splitting the toilet in half) is, who tf decided to cut the sheet rock and finish it absolutely perfectly around that toilet?? And no one saw the problem before actually beginning to build the wall?
I think building around trees is a good thing. It definitely isn’t a fail, Top Fives! With so many trees getting cut down these days and the severe effects of deforestation, this “fail” should be considered a “suggestion” for future building. Trees give us so many benefits, yet they get bulldozed daily. 🤦♂️
I guess you have no idea how damaging root infrastructure and tree growth do to buildings. There are circumstances where it is aesthetically pleasing and a well engineered way to build within a building but these examples were of no such marvels.
The low ATM is for wheelchair access, and the floating doors were originally in place for products from the factory the building used to be, to be dumped into trucks backed up at street level...
I’m guessing you have never looked at a set of prints in you’re life. I’ve been on jobs where the duct workers and the framers had two different sets of prints.
@@truthbetold8878 well yes and no. I did learn a little about it in school, no idea why they included that in 6th 7th grade in "home economy" subject but it was interesting still. What they made us do , was to design the rooms lay outs and decide where electricity would be, the doors etc. But one thing is true that i have never looked at real construction blueprints of possible building being constructed.
Ah, the complete opposite of the balcony fail where instead of a balcony but no door leading to it, you have a door, but no balcony on the other side of the door
Half of these fails may be due to bad planning. The other half is more like: Did no construction worker ask, why he should build a wall over a toilet seat?
Photo looks fake. If it was real, the toilet would be removed to have the wall fitted. Internet is full of stuff like that now. Thats why I dont believe most photos online if they are something unusual or crazy
245 million people in USA take an escalator daily? Bro, there are only 330 million people in the entire country. Unless you're counting the same people multiple times each day, this is 100% false. I haven't taken one in over 6 months.
I REFUSE to believe that those were the railroad engineers doing! I just flat out refuse. As far as im concerned most of those look like the work of lazy/spiteful city maintenance workers. I feel in most (if not all) of those botched RR track jobs were done after the fact! Either way it is HiLaRiOuS... *Except when the results are injury or death.
Lol people...these pics are BS. Most, if not ALL of them are photoshopped gags. You really gonna trust a narrator who doesn't even know what role engineers play in construction?
My home town (Fremont, NE), which has a population of 25,000, doesn't have A SINGLE ESCALATOR! Fremont’s less than an hour from Omaha, so riding an escalator was one thing I always looked forward to when I went to Omaha. Even now, if I'm walking up or down an escalator, I need to stop before I reach the end, to prepare to step off.
Oh god, I lost it at the guy mimicking the jerky screwed-up animation of inserting the bank card in the ATM. I needed that laugh today. :D
🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😅😆
Those railways have probably been abandoned long ago, that's why there are structure on/next to them.
That's what I thought.
They're not used anymore etc.

The tree "growing through the balconies" is ACTUALLY the balconies built around the tree to preserve it.
Building the balconies around the trees was awesome.

Thank you for explaining how trains, doors and windows work. What an amazing service you provide.
Almost all of these are either not due to the engineer or photoshopped
Agreed. Worst way to beg for views.
Then not even have a story behind them, or no mentions of when it happened. No research was even done.
photoshopped or some of them are decorations (ie the toilet with the rock climbing pegs)

14:35 "where the blue walls are stretched out" pretty sure the walls are yellow
Thank you. I was wondering if this was another one of those "gold dress" photos.
99% of this isn’t engineering mishaps they’re pictures taken during rehabilitation
Agree. Apparently a desperation to release a new video by just jamming old stuff together.
The ATM card spasm made me die of laughter 😂
The response of the guy at the screwy ATM @ 2:26 (at The Bank of Texas no less) was utterly priceless! A home run in improvisation comedy.
13:42 peeing outlets are great.
Those engineers must be genius 😅
Many "mistakes/fails" happen when a building is remodeled & it's cheaper to leave it than remove it.
Agree, a lot of these look like they haven't been researched properly,. Low quality video here.

I don't think I'm color blind, but there is no way those walls in the last clip are blue. A type of yellow yes, but definitely not blue.
So its not just me hearing him say blue then, and also it was just a staircase to nowhere, he already covered that topic earlier in the video.
