Much admiration for the response of the Corvette Museum Owners. The Smashed vehicles and the story of the cave and its collapse are an amazingly positive and creative way to honor the experience and make it accessible to visitors. Helps people appreciate the efforts and challenges of preservation, even if they may not be Corvette fans. (But really, can't be too many folks that aren't...)
2:36 Grady Hillhouse from practical engineering?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!!?!?! Dude that was so unexpected, its like seeing your teacher at the grocery store.
Traveled the West Gate Bridge many times in my hometown. My dad used to be a tour coach driver and would always remind any people on the journeys of the collapse as they approached the actual span that collapsed on the very tall bridge!
I was part of a school tour some months afterwards and the bus driver told us he actually saw the bridge collapse whilst taking others on a tour from Port Melbourne. he actually took us to the spot.
my grandpa was a crane operator on the westgate bridge, it was the largest crane in the southern hemisphere at the time. he was supposed to be working when the bridge fell but he had swapped some shifts with his work mate because his work mate had some family stuff on, and the guy died in the fall. 3 months later after pulling all his mates out of the water and staying on the job without a break, my grandpa had his first of 3 heart attacks that he had during his life. he was only in his 40s when he was building that bridge
My grandfather took me to the Westgate bridge many times after it collapsed, before it was rebuilt. He knew some of the 35, he would go there to remember them.
Melbourne has lovely people. But a crappy beach! But, such a cosmopolitan city. I love visiting this city when in Australia. Visitors to Australia generally want to go to Sydney, but, Melbourne is better if you can spend time with the locals. If you're just a tourist, then go to Sydney on your package tour. If you're a traveler then go to Melbourne & get invited to at least one party, which will be a blast.
Hydraulic Fracturing (fracking)is used in most gas fields and some oil fields. It has been known that wastewater injection wells can cause earthquakes for a long time, but the earlier wells were for sewage disposal and few in number. So, the effect was noted, but it was not thought to be a problem. Some of them were eventually used for fracking water disposal until the Pawnee earthquake happened and changed everything.
Most? Lol. Not by far. Not that long ago none. Remember results came back from a testdrill and the dude said, you missed. Did I? It's there, just need to get it out. Can't be done? Convinced him else wise and he worked it out. But it way more expensive and certainly not most fields. One reason we had to cut of Russian gas to Europea. For we could not compete with non wrecking pipe gas, versus wrecked shipped. This the investment turning into a loss. Most fields she says. Well you got me laughing at least. Please do not talk as if you know, whilst it having done your homework properly.
Talking about the cars worth, when I am worried about the workers endangered to save the building.l and glad it was just a cat museum with no one in it. Also his it is save now. Can see it going down at some point still.
When I was growing up in Brooklyn, N.Y., I felt deprived because my father did not have a car. When I was mature, I realized we had something much better, subway. For 10 cents, I was able to ride from Brooklyn's Boro Park to the Bronx Zoo or Yankee Stadium comfortably, if not in rush-hours. Most cities of the US lacked such transportation, thanks to a General who became President of the United States to end the Korean War. He entered the White House in January of 1953. It took him until late in 1954 to reach a truce with Kim Il Sung. We never reached a peace treaty with N. Korea. All we have is the truce! We are fast to go to war, but on a slow train to reach a peace! Did God Bless Americans ?
You're blaming Eisenhower and the US for the fact that North Korea hasn't signed on any dotted lines? And for a lack of US subways? That doesn't make any sense.
Damn, I remember watching Practical Engineering when it had low thousands of subscribers. My brain like locked up for a few seconds when I saw him "Is that...Grady!?"
In over 50 years in architectural profession, I have never seen a slab-on-grade poured without 6x6x6 WWM, Why wasn't it done in the museum. It could have held up longer and allowed some action to be taken before a total collapse!
So, the Melbourne bridge collapse was a matter of fabrication and construction errors, not engineering. Who was the person who decided to weigh down the bridge with concrete weights in order to bring it into aluignment?
The explanation for the Melbourne bridge collapse made here is completely inadequate and confusing. I found a better explanation on the Brendan Hasty channel, "Westgate Bridge collapse how and why it happened 50 years on". That video is less polished, but it has much more detail and makes much more sense.
Why did commercial traffic need special permits when the detour crossed over into another Canadian province? That seems an overly restrictive regulation to me, did it have something to do with the bilingual laws?
Wikipedia: The first known use of ["sports car"} in the United States was in 1928.[9] Sports cars started to become popular during the 1920s.[12]" So, no, the Crosley (1951) wasn't the first, either.
this is gonna piss a lot of people off but those are the people I really dont care about. At least it was just cars in a museum. NOT people in their houses. cars are just machines. be far worse if this happened under your house.
Don't engineering still not know how to calculate slightest tremors and add +20% or so to make it safe or to hold when holding is concerned use 100% extra so no human life goes the way of the mayfly...
Units please? I've learned to ignore the faux pas of the minority unit (Fareheits) being used like it's the only thing in the world, but not even mentioning it makes the number meaningless.
To say that losing the bridge at Latchford cuts off western Canada from Eastern Canada is just blatantly false. Most traffic doesn't use that route to travel across Canada, It is way out of the way and a huge unnecessary detour for most.
Lots of irrelevant emotions and gossip? Why don't you present important basic knowledge to inform people? Town gossip..! Australian journalism again failing its purpose 🙈
The Corvette museum was designed by a grade 9 student for a shop project methinks. What a total piece of 'architectural crap'. Ugly, and poorly designed.
As i don't live in the US, I don't know what age grade 9 students are but even a grade 8 student could design and build it better than that. WTF was the floor made of, cardboard? Looks like it.

Those colour photos of the West gate under construction are images I’ve never seen before. That alone makes this video well worth watching.
yes
2:36 Grady Hillhouse from practical engineering?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!!?!?! Dude that was so unexpected, its like seeing your teacher at the grocery store.
he's in a lot of these :D
Traveled the West Gate Bridge many times in my hometown. My dad used to be a tour coach driver and would always remind any people on the journeys of the collapse as they approached the actual span that collapsed on the very tall bridge!
Traveled OVER...

It's so weird to go watch these and see Grady from practical engineering.
hahahah i thought that too lol
Especially if you got here from watching his videos 😂

Of the hundreds of white sand beaches around Melbourne what is the crappy one?
The Latchford bridge is an arch, but it rests on abutments that take the lateral load, rather than using a roadway under tension to "tie" it together.
Very interesting video !!! The engineering marvels are very amazing !!! I learned a lot !!!
Title is misleading. It does not begin with the Bridge Collapse in Melbourne, Australia.

Everything has changed? In what universe?

I watch these documentaries while working on my diamond dot paintings ❤ my hands stay busy and I learn new things.
Well done , just enough information
Because each bridge is unique, perhaps it takes a failure or collapse to show what parts need to be inspected carefully. And then it's too late.
Honestly, I would rather visit a geological point of interest than a car museum, so that's probably more of a draw for them. 😂

I got to see the Corvette Museum before this happened :(
I would like to know what's the dia of those steel hangers & bolts in arch bridge
They were just cars. NO big deal!
Wasn't that bridge on an earlier episode? For a different reason

Hey dad ! If you want to see the right front fender it is in the back seat!😊
"I feel like I own this part of the road" - What a tool. lol
Cut him some slack. He was drunk when he said that.
So, the Melbourne bridge collapse was a matter of fabrication and construction errors, not engineering. Who was the person who decided to weigh down the bridge with concrete weights in order to bring it into aluignment?
Though on a first glance the design does make me think of the Genua bridge a bit.
It's like hiring an high schooler to do the Brookline Bridge ??? and doing several hundred's of millions to do an new bridge. And break down.
From experience... seatbelts keep you from hitting the roof when SHTF.
Never take bolts out geez engineering 101
there have been 20+ earthquakes ranging from 2.0-3.5 in Oklahoma in the past week. All due to fracking
Best way to avoid bridge collapses, is NOT to go on them or under them.
Or to build it properly in the first place and do regular inspection and maintenance.
The explanation for the Melbourne bridge collapse made here is completely inadequate and confusing. I found a better explanation on the Brendan Hasty channel, "Westgate Bridge collapse how and why it happened 50 years on".

I'm guessing the common people who is buying that extension is overwhelmed it cost like 3 or maybe 5 times what the community said..
ARE, not is.
Something of this magnitude, you don’t just, ‘tweak’ or ‘make-do’. You get new massive parts. Yes, expensive, but not in lives.😮🤔🇺🇸🤨
Oh, this wasn't an official channel. welp! not my fault.
The floor looks flimsy,no rebar etc, or is it wooden.
Looks like it was made of plywood and cardboard with a glossy coating on top. No wonder it collapsed. Wheres the reinforced concrete slab?
Why did commercial traffic need special permits when the detour crossed over into another Canadian province? That seems an overly restrictive regulation to me, did it have something to do with the bilingual laws?
Oh, there is so much going on there... it almost might as well be a separate nation with how much it plays to a different drummer.
Bullshit. The Crosley Hotshot made its debut 4 years before the Corvette, making it America's first sports car.
Wikipedia: The first known use of ["sports car"} in the United States was in 1928.[9] Sports cars started to become popular during the 1920s.[12]"
So, no, the Crosley (1951) wasn't the first, either.
Mistake calling it a synague, or a place of worship, when will people learn?
this is gonna piss a lot of people off but those are the people I really dont care about. At least it was just cars in a museum. NOT people in their houses. cars are just machines. be far worse if this happened under your house.
Hm, another guy saying "It's stranger than fiction" just like the oil spill guy. Kinda sus.
Don't engineering still not know how to calculate slightest tremors and add +20% or so to make it safe or to hold when holding is concerned use 100% extra
so no human life goes the way of the mayfly...
Came to see the bridge collapse, saw car garage collapse.
Voted video down.
Grady what!?! What's up dude! Lol
Why did all those Aussies drive onto that unfinished bridge? They should have waited until all the cables were installed.
Units please? I've learned to ignore the faux pas of the minority unit (Fareheits) being used like it's the only thing in the world, but not even mentioning it makes the number meaningless.
Unless you only consider the two common units and it happens s to be -40⁰.
😅😂😅😂Dynos Oil
FFS....

Clickbait.
Happens in China on a weekly basis
Need to say i love the Americans not the government.. of their country..
Chinese tofu bridge😂😂😂😂
Click bait
colpa dei benetton
DEI engineering results.
USE FUNKING COMON KNOWLAGE AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW IT, LEARN!!!
Learn to not type in all-caps. No one with any funking common sense does that.
But, but ... but ... GOVERNMENT REGULATION!!! Doesn't that just cause problems, not fix them? 😅😅😅
Regulations prevent problems before they happen.
@@simontay4851 Can't believe i have to put /sarc indication on that.
boring
i don't need to know the way people feel
Which century are in? Gotta be da Clickbait century...
Don't use Chinese steel
