Please get Elon Musk on this ASAP.
@@PGains wow you're stupid
Sadly Because of corruption its not complete
Only the dutch cam save them
@J d You clearly dont know the dutch. Look at the maaskering or deltawerken.
@J d, the winds and waves coming from the Atlantic North Sea cannot be compared with anything in the shallow Venetian lagoon in the Mediterranean.
True
Exactly what I was thinking about!
They're need tha walllll
1:10 "Venice is on the ocean"... from a physicist. I guess you skipped geography classes then.
Would you rather him say "Venice is on the sea"?
adriatic ocean
@Hazard187 because that made it the most powerful city in the world.
@@mrhills8868 His English certainly doesn't sound American.
YOU IDIOTS HIS RIGHT, THE WATER VENICE IS LOCATED ON IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE OCEAN.
The incompetence in this project is astounding. I have no formal engineering training and found these problems to be incredibly obvious to consider.
As a Dutchie
I just cringe on how bad this was thought out...
They just should have left it out to the Dutch....
Hahahah same ze hadden het gewoon aan de Nederlanders moeten overlaten.
German engineers are better
Italians, if you visit the country you will be surprised how everything is still everything working there
There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.
Public works in Italy awarded by public tender always stink of kickbacks.
I despise documentaries where they have 3 different people regurgitating the same exact thing, I'd bet they're all actors anyway.

@Goggle products You need a tinfoil hat. Climate change is real dumbass.
@Goggle products better check your meds.
Plus this video has what porpoise? Those people should look at their places, I'm sure they are far from perfect!
@@randomdude5261 It's a Poe. Almost all the flattards are Poes. There are very few actual real flat earthers. It's almost impossible to be that dumb, and to get through life, without anyone noticing, and making sure you're not left unsupervised
For a second I thought Stan lee was going to be interviewed
Stan Lee is far from home
And dead
1:11 I died "Venice is on the ocean" dude! The freaking ocean is 900 km away from Venice
wrong. The Mediterranean Sea is not an Ocean .-.
GreenFox X3 that’s the point
He’s saying that the commentator is wrong
@@greenfox1991 duuude is it that difficult to comprehend some sentences before writing a comment?
the mediterranean is not an inland sea.. its basically the fckn ocean. stop being stupid
@@MrMiguelForster Do you know that the Adriatic Sea is part of the Mediterranean Sea? So by your definition Venice is in the ocean. Indeed by your definition a Sea doesnt exist, cause an inland sea is a fucking LAKE.
Venice: we spend 5 billion dollars to protect the city from flooding but it won't work.
Netherlands: Hold my beer🍺 please😎
Itali..
Great people..
Great culture..
Loving from india
they thought this was minecraft.
Wow, they built it out of steel in salt water. Genius move right there.
Like those tanker ships and every cruiseliner in the world are made out of steel. Yes, silly them.
@@gc99289 You beat me to it lol
@@gc99289 Yes but those are regularly maintained and painted.
@@thelastcommander8765 How often do you think a 150k ton tanker is pulled out and painted below the waterline? Serious
There are different types of steel dude. You know stainless steel is a thing right?

Simon: “Venice is on the ocean...”
*wait... wha’?!*
Marko P. so is it a seaside town but cos its not on the side of the sea
@Makayla which ocean?
@Makayla No, it is in the adriatic sea which is a part of the Mediterranean sea. It's a sea, not an ocean.
Coming from someone with a degree in naval architecture and marine engineering, this couldn't have been an enginnering issue. Everything from high corrosion in salt water to mussels growing and how to handle them is taught to you in your second and third year. So, i believe this must have been to launder money. I can't believe that multiple engineers could be this incompetent
Typical corruption
Clearly they should have employed Dutch engineers who have proven experience to cope with these issues. I suspect that keeping the money in house drove the design.
@@lynncomstock1255 I honestly don't think special expertise is required. This must have been done so that the politicians and possibly the mafia can make money by skimming off the top of the contract by using cheap materials on purpose.
Coming from someone who never went to college, I knew it was an idiotic, useless idea the second I heard it! Money laundering / political graft, totally.
Physicist:"Venice is on the ocean..." Ok I've heard enough, is called Mediterranean SEA
Called Sea in English, but not in other countries/languages.
Adriatic Sea, not Mediterranean Sea
Demetrios M adriatic sea is part of the Mediterranean sea🙄🙄
he thought they were talking about venice beach CA
@Ricardo S mer méditerranée in french too
I love small documentaries where 4 people repeat the same thing in different ways one after another. No substance lazy documentary.
Agree 100%. And the problem of silt & debris blocking the mechanism....is first mentioned half-way through the doc. Wonder how that obvious issue was never addressed in the real project... Where there some Venetian artists & sculptors assisting as eng. consultants?
2nd biggest flood of city. The 5 billion went into their pockets
glad italian stan lee is still with us 1:39
tommytatt ha
Venezia is not on the ocean ... It's the Mediterranean Sea. I so want to go visit this beautiful place, I do hope they can guard it from destruction.
Venice is beautiful I was lucky enough to visit earlier this year.
Dude Shini is the hottest engineer I’ve ever seen
She sure knows a lot about that pole petrification.
Dacia Sandero guys 😂
bro???
Indian and Latina chicks are hot af
@@shouvikroy3178 Indian chicks are not at all hot, latinas are tho
1:40 is it just me or he looks like stan lee
Have you... ever seen Stan Lee?
He does look familiar! I even went back to look at him again. I’m glad I’m not the only one who recognized a very familiar face! Maybe Einstein? Or Saddam Hussein?
having just watched china's megaprojects, this is nuts, accountability needs to be brought in
"Ah Venice. Look at the sights! Beautiful, romantic *sloshes around in knee high water with rain boots* iconic!"
Why didn't they make it out of stainless steel or aluminium... they zinc it all or run an electric current through it so sea life didn't build up on it? Seems like a massive oversight.
Do you actually know which metal they used ?
@@roddaz nah but I know what they didn't use lol
@@roddaz obviously steel if its rusting already.
Call the Dutch people in to resolve this problem, like srsly, maybe like the swinging dam they've in Rotterdam might work?
Did anyone else notice she had a huge fricking voice crack at 2:44?😂😂😂
Titanic: I'm sinking you dipshits!
People in charge: Keep the music playing Damn it!!
The Sea: Aye Aye Captain.
Was there a 2 weeks ago, lovely city, and country.
As of November 2019, venice got flooded again upto even 6 feet of water.
Let it sink, it will be great for under water adventure scuba diving 😂🤣
@@papalaz very funny.........
Frengo69 it is yes
I heard you need to remortgage if you want to buy an ice cream in Venice
Not at all. Bought a gelato just recently. Plan on retiring there. The online ad prices for real estate is ludicrous. Just visit and contact a local real estate agent.
@@960Design Agreed. I travel across Europe a lot. If the online prices seem high and you have local contacts then go local. If not, then spend some time on your first trip to find some.
It's the classic reality of the power of teamwork to botch up even a good idea !
“Venice is on the ocean.” Lmfao...
"What they didn't think about was tidal currents pushing sand and silt under the walls, and preventing them from coming down" I'm 18, live in middle america nowhere near the ocean, and that was the first thing i thought of.. who designed this project? Some of these engineers would have been manual laborers if they had to pay for their own schooling.
So are you saying you would have the knowledge you do now if you were there when they started building the city? Just so you know, this city was build long ago.
They are only having severe problems now because of climate change. I guess you didn't take that into consideration.
@@Aki-hb1jy The only reason the city is in that location was due to invasions. It was a bad idea to start with, good for geographic barriers only. Mexico City had a similar design and purpose now it's sinking into the lake by so many inches a year. Just a "American" nowhere near a ocean chiming in.
@@Aki-hb1jy Pay attention. He never mentioned having knowledge about building the city, he mentioned THIS project. And just like him, as soon as I heard about this project, I knew it sounded absurd and impossible to function as intended. And as usual for ignorant people like you, you had to mention "climate change" which has absolutely nothing to do regarding the success or failure of this project.
Imagine being the plug over there and just taking a jetski to ur mans 😂
WorldGangWatch tf u going to do from Cali u sus
Shini Somara the Mechanical Engineer is super gorgeous..
Oh big time...stunningly beautiful
I really appreciate her make up. look at that glow. contouring and shading. just extraordinary💯💃🏽🔥⭐️
They're literally trying to hold back the ocean. Cut em some slack.
the dutch did it EZ and like 15 years before they want to even start this project so dont cut em slack..
PG trojka no they didnt.. de afsluitdijk is the same idea as this but 100 times better and we have smaller afsluitdijken so dont talk shit whole flevoland is made out of sea we create land..
PG trojka you dumb, really dumb
You probably dont even know how to create land from the sea
Them niggaz need Poseidon
PG trojka shut up keyboars warrior, search for friends
How did nobody involved just look at the design of the gates before they were even built and point out that the design was a mess? Come on man lmao
WHAT? Not a SINGLE SHOT of these underwater barriers!
Please get Elon Musk on this ASAP.
Venice is the new atlantis
I shit myself when that Greg guy started speaking, proper shouting 😂😂
I want to visit still but this concerns me.
Why not dams with gates to control the level. Seems easier to do then have hinged objects on the seabed.
who still makes these documentaries where the experts are clearly reading from a script? that is old, stop it. move on film-makers
what a beautiful city. Really loved visiting there. Hope to visit again
Build a huge dam around Venice. Then have gates that will allow boats through when it's safe.
Does the water really that deep? I thought Venice as built on top of a swamp so perhaps they can build a sea wall through land reclamation.
I was waiting for one of these “experts” to say “WE SHOULD TAKE THE ADRIATIC SEA, AND PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!” 😂😂😂
Why didn’t they just narrow the inlets so they had less gates to build? They could have dredged the material from around Venice as well to make the water deeper and increase the Bays capacity.
You know we have these things called locks that have been used for centuries and they work.
who's here Nov 13 2019 great flood
November 16, 2019
Nov 16 2019
Nov 17 2019

What?
So in 1966, they decided something needed to be done, then started planning in 1980? Then the system that was supposed to solve the flooding problems don't work. It's 2019 and they still can't figure out how to stop the flooding? !966 to 2019 is 53 years that they have been working on the issue. The Italian phrase," Rome was not built in a day" sure applies here.
They should build something similar to the Panama Canal. You can control flooding and also let ships pass through.
The only way for them to succeed is by building dams that have locks that stay open during safe tide levels it already works everywhere else just my opinion tell me if I'm wrong
2:338
I would have tried to do a little - 5 euro experiment before spend the first billion
Those gates are a testament to the world renowned quality Italian engineering.
I almost bought a Ferrari. Now I'm getting a bus pass...lol
Call the Dutch
People Who proposed this idea are not qualified engineers
Maybe the best thing to do is to close all openings to the sea, maintain the safe water level in the lagoon and build a Panama-like canal with locks to connect the lagoon to the sea and to prevent sea water from coming in. Also build pumping station to maintain water level, which also serve to remove flood waters coming from the mainland.
Thousands of years ago built an entire city on top of wooden pillars and it stands today. Now we build things and they rot before they are even in use...
They shoulda called Amsterdam
Venezia è nell'Oceano? Quale Venezia? Quella americana? Venice beach😂
may i suggest panama canal lock gate?
Looks like they’ve spent the money well and done a stellar job.
Haha Goodbye Venice, will remember you
Blame Mysterio
2:44 MoOoOoses
Well congratulations for your success and we hope you more flooding
I like how they acknowledged that Moses was a prophet
Xavier Mondragon even the devil recognizes who God is ... this means nothing breh
Stop hiring kids just out of college to design your solutions. This problem was solved in other places decades ago. Could have used a lock.
Just fill the gaps with rocks. Build 3 dams. Close the lagoon. Install a few pumps to regulate the water level inside the lagoon.
Is that really so hard to do?
It wouldnt be so bad if the floodwaters were clean and clear
Amazing how centuries ago the architects found a way to erect buildings on a lagoon, that currently remain. Hundreds of years later, the smartest minds can't figure how to build a gate? Ridiculous. The difference now is that everyone's main concern is money, more than function.
They should have use Dutch technology, they`re experienced on this matter
The worst part about a government project? Everybody is just doing their job and anyone will just say everything is fine.
Nobody, and I mean nobody within the government would think this is economically viable , but they are just passing the problem to the next guy in line.
New Orleans watches anxiously
But why would they want the gates to ever drop down?
because if the water along the shore never circulates you'd end up with stagnant water full of decaying organic material
Errr.. boats? I think they need water to navigate. :)
Hire a Chinese company. They will get it done in 1 year.
Brian W You been reading too much NYtimes. The actual data shows that most of the countries engaged in the belt and road initiative have a balanced debt structure from a variety of sources from multiple countries. The news make it sound like all of their debts are from China all of a sudden.
@Brian W Name one country China have taken over with 'interest on a loan' ?
@@roddaz They're doing it to many African nation's. It's like China's form of Imperial colonialism.
@@joelromero6074 China has not taken over one single African nation, stop talking shit.
@@roddaz financially not militarily you dumb shit.
obviously not well planned, but one thing though, the lady at the end said it would cost 80 million € every year to operate it and she said it in a tone to make it out like that would be excessive or too expensive.
Venice has 260k inhabitants, is one of the richest cities in Italy, has 25-30 million tourists every year who spend alot of money there, which is half of the tourists of whole Italy btw, i doubt 80 million € every year would make a big difference to the finances of Venice. quick maths: Tourism income makes up 13% of Italy's GDP, Italy's GDP is 2 trillion € so 13% of that is 260bn €, Venice accounts for half of all tourists who come to Italy, so you'd think Venice makes about 130bn € from Tourism alone every year.
most of taxes go to rome and never come back
Like many other projects in the world, they might not be good ideas but the money is good.
I am Italian....absolutely embarrassed and not surprised at all. Italy is like this in most aspects!
Just call trump he can keep everything out hahaha
Build the wall, build the wall!!!!!
Welcome to Italy, my friend 😊
How about made permanent barier and use it like a cannal system. So the ship still able to pass through?
recycle plastic, in the shapes and sizes of the barrier
One thing For sure the engineer knows her pole well.
Phones:
Venice: I'm bouta end this man's whole career.
Venice being built was astounding as is the amount of wasted money trying to save it....
only 5 billion? In america we spend that on Football stadiums.
Wow it’s heavenly beautiful 😍😍😍
Sarcastic much?
They must have had irish project managers on this one 🤣
A concrete wall around Venice would be the only solution. Pour a section at a time till you have incaptualized the city you could built a concrete wall that could have been a nice walking path like pier wall surrounding Venice then you can have s horse and buggy ride around the perimeter of Venice it would be a beautiful pier wall full of Venitian decor flowers and garden. Beautiful minds have beautiful solutions.
I visited Venice while serving in the U.S.A.F. I can assure you the place smells like a toilet.
Years and years studying the problem and still they mess it up. All the modern technology and materials and they couldn't find something that didn't readily corrode and rust?!?! Someone or a lot of someones need to be fired and replaced. 😒
those someones made tens of millions -- from their point of view, the project was successful
Here in my country USA our government would just blow the gates to the lagoons and canal to pieces and blame it on a natural disaster. Lol
cmon lads get out ya sponge blocks, lets do this
He says “tidal surges of 2.7 meters” like its high. It’s less than 9 feet
Imagine if your city was nine feet underwater...
Just build permanent barriers.
@Goggle products ask your pusher to change drugs, they are hurting you. Venice is a lagoon, it needs constant change of water or it would rot. Like not changing water to your goldenfish.
they would destroy the lagoon. it would turn to fresh water.
u can't u would destroy the wildlife
