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.
A tree growing through a restaurant in Bulgaria, on the black sea I've seen over 40 years in holidays with my parents...believe me, a second time I can forget to eat there, becouse swallows and other birds are flying through the open doors...nobody sure to have more on the plate then the soup...🤣🤣🤣
or they made a mistake and had to build around it....
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.
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.
Undocumented. Each of these has a story behind it, and these stories would have made a much better video. Some are photoshopped jokes, many are from remodels or repairs, some (like the trees) are planned to keep the trees, some are in-your-face "compliance" with handicapped access rules, and some are angry or bored construction workers. All have a reason for existing.
I couldn't even make it half way through this video because the are so stupid. Clearly these all were photoshopped, or, as you said, have a story. What a waste of time. I unsubscribed...
@@4dreamtravel same. Top fives is fake
Agreed. The misaligned bridge is not mentioned with a location. Clearly it is fake. After the first one, I came to this comment and unsubscribed as well. Treat your subscribers with respect.
He also had a stolen thumbnail
The train one with the rusty rails clearly shows that the installers infringed on the right of way when they put the poles in and the other one with the transformer in the track is clearly photoshopped, this is a clickbait video and nothing else
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.
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.
temptedhazelaht Or lack of communication among draftsmen.
Jeff Rasberry I was in drafting for 50 years. I dare to differ!
@Jeff Rasberry Good. So you get 3, instead of just 1.
Build, tear, rebuild.
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.
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.
Almost all of these are either not due to the engineer or photoshopped
Agreed. Worst way to beg for views.
was just about to comment the same thing..
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)
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.
This should be called poor quality photo shopping 🤦🏼♂️
It just looks like a load of fake photos.
Thank you for explaining how trains, doors and windows work. What an amazing service you provide.
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.
Clllliiiiiiiicccckkkkkkbbbbbbaaaaaaiiiiitttttt, that I fell for..... Well played.
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.
Half a toilet?! Omg!🤣
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.
Most of them are photo shoped
@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.
First one is an advertising for AutoDesk.
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.
#14 , Like the Winchester mansion
These are hilarious 😆🤣
“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.
🤣
The low ATM seemed to be designed so that you can withdraw cash while staying in your car like in a drive thru.....
The ATM card spasm made me die of laughter 😂
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.
0:00, just wanted to say that the bridge is on a barge and is still being moved
engineers make a minimal (tolerable) errors but never fails!
2:25 really made me laugh :D
I lost it so hard at that. ROFL.
These made me laugh. But I really loved the trees coming up through the balconies. Thats really cool.
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"!!
engineers are the most iresponsible profesion on earth..they are never resposible for anything
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.
those train mishaps are a clear case of "not my job."
These are obviously fake, but non the less, entertaining
Most of these are either photoshopped BS or are after-the-fact modifications. Some are amusing though!
And of course today, anything can be made to look real.
13:42 peeing outlets are great.
Those engineers must be genius 😅
OMG!
What were they thinking?!
How could these things get approved?!
2:27 absolutely KILLED me! Hahahahaha
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.
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.
we have a floating door at work lmao
There is no way anyone would keep bldg a bridge the didn't line from both sides !!This is BS.
Yup..clickbait BS
Hi I think you’re video is good
@@guillermopuywwrtuilljmmzpq6760 GUILLERMO MOREL?
#15 oops now what do we do? 😂😂
Come on man, really?
Domingo Tayawa jr right? If people believe all of this happens the way they say, then we have a lot of people who are “the problem”
Funny video. Awesome voice!
Those ramps make for great skating
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...
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?
The photo looks faked. Joiners would never install a partition wall through a toilet. Too much of this sort of junk on the internet. PS faked photos.
2 minutes of explaining what escalators are for. 5 seconds of escalator fails.
The way he says hallarious is hallarious XD
haha heard that too!
So funny *hilarious*
Lol that made me lol
Random:
I follow ASP Active Self Protection and that guy says "all" but "ooooaaahhlll"
*hilarious
#2:25. Seriously funny!!! I love that type of simple and obvious humour.. :'-D
Its construction/installation fails not Engineering fail.
Unless that's how the Engineer drew the layout ?
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.
Come on...who makes a half toilet and who installs one? Ridiculous
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
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💯👍
Me when I forgot to bring my phone to the toilet:
7:20
Construction crew maybe have a bad day before they went to work 😤😤😤🥵🥵🥵🥵🤪🤪
the funniest engineering fail was the civil engineering final I took last week
Just wait til you gotta take your AstroNavs.....brrrrrrr
These videos are classic I don’t know what happened to the head engineer at the end of that one
ONLY ON A FLAT EARTH! LOL!
So you have 999k subs...niceee
Still cracks me up when people say ATM machine. The M in ATM means Machine.
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.
If you're talking about the train tracks with a utility pole built in the middle of them, those are clearly decommissioned tracks
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
The toilet on 7:44 is art 👌👏
6:45 that one, I actually could excuse...
Yeah this has officially crippled me
Great video. ♡ T.E.N.
I can't believe the word "handicap" is still being used.
How does this happen 😂
Dummies! LOL
Revision not revised .
How would you not notice a misalignment?
some wheelchair ramps and handicapped parking spaces were placed where they were to satisfy the ada act and nothing more.
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 😂🤣
5:10, good lord
@8:05 Reminds me of the latrine we had in our circa WW2 barracks during Army basic training in the 1970's. Privacy! What privacy? A platoon that craps together becomes more of a fighting force I guess.
Photoshop does wonders for misaligned bridges
I had te remove a handicap sign on a space and replace it with NO PARKING. It was right next to the garage that held the dumpster in a narrow alley. The big garbage truck needed to be able to get in and out and it was dangerous. I was worried someone might complain but no one did.
Engineering fail, or construction fail?
Also, almost NONE are the fault of any engineer.
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?
The carpenter said to the architect, " Not my problem".
Honestly the light pole is better then the tree, the tree will continue to grow and destroy the building. The light pole will never move.
That drywall job bisecting the toilet was fucking mint.
Looks like a clever PS image to be honest.
I thinks that we should put in contact those who build the floating doors and those who make stairs for nothing! they would get along very well :D
@8:16 it looks like a sports stadium men's restroom. great for half time.
8:26 that toilet height tho!!
Stupid is as stupid does.
Good grief! The condos that I walk my dog through have the worst handicap parking. They're just next to curbs or bushes, or stairs, there's no ramps anywhere!
The last toilet on floor could be an old-style Japanese one.
Yes, I saw those in China and Japan.
Oh ffs just enjoy it lol
Wait is Chris Kane from Simple History is also narrator for Top 5 just like Simon for Top 10?
How silly of them 🤪🤪🤪🤪😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣
I guess there was a bathroom showroom.
I would really like to know how those misaligned bridges were fixed.
And yet all these supposed misaligned bridge photos you see on the internet all seem fake. Are any genuine ? The example in this video, looks so far away to be unbelievable. He doesn't seem to mention any details about this to support its existence.
Low positioned ATM machines are for wheelchair users - not placed there in error.
Most of these fails are Architect fails, not Engineer fails.
What if I'm on the toilet watching relaxing
Engineering and REAL WORLD stuff always clashes! Engineers don't understand that some things don't work!
7:36 " no one would build this on purpose" actually thats the only way it happened you just got trolled bro lmao
Our airport has escalators and it also has flat escalators that go the entire length of the airport basically
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.
From Australia: being disabled, I am NOT "handicapped", so when are Americans going to stop using this highly offensive term!???
1:42 Heh.... how can anyone NOT see that? This is just bureaucracies that don't care one way or another.
A tree through your balcony would be dope
