I'm so excited to back with a new season! Lots more episodes coming soon, although thankfully none which require me to drag a table and leaf blower into Central Park (again)!
Been following you since Tom Scott featured you on his channel, and i must say that while your content was good back then, your improvement has been incredible impressive, especially in the production quality. Keep it up! Looking forward to the new season.
I was just in NY visiting my sister and somehow I was reminded of 601 Lexington, and I shared the “cliffs notes” version of that story. We ended up passing by the building just by chance, and I must say, it’s surreal to see a building of that size supported by columns like that. Even though you know it’s definitely safe, something deep down tells you it isn’t.
You get the same feeling around insanely tall/big trees too I feel. You know it's obviously safe, well, as safe as a tree can be, and you know there's roots underground that are doing their job, but you don't want to trust it.
8:46 I have always herd that an engineering student, Diane Hartley, was the one who discovered the design flaw with the building and not LeMessurier. The Wikipedia "Citicorp Center engineering crisis" has a more detail. I am really curious about the your source on the repairs not being need. Over all you have a really great channel and video, thank you.
It wasn't just a conversation with a student which inspired his realization that the skyscraper was unstable. The student herself noticed the problem and did all the math to prove it was real. It is fortunate the architect had the humility to recognize his mistake and solve it even when it was brought to him by a student.
It's your duty if the engineers doesn't listen to your. Go to every single news station in the local area. They will love a fear fest story of "local engineer endangers lives of thousands"
As I recall, it was more than just, "chatting with a student." She brought the problem to him and then he decided to look into it, it wasn't a eureka moment during a conversation.
It's always great to see fluid dynamics topics covered in any kind of science communication. I especially love that you used amateur CFD in a YT video. I am a bit too young to make this comment, but for those a few years older than me, if you went back 15 or 20 yrs and told them that CFD would be so advanced and accessible that anyone can run a relatively informative model on their laptop and that someone causally did so to explain a point in a youtube video, they would be absolutely floored... also you'd have to explain what a laptop was and what a youtube was, but that's besides the point. The point is the capability you showed was just a twinkle in some researchers' eye even 15-20 years ago. Totally wild to see how far it has come. Can't wait to see where it goes. Maybe in 15-20 years, instead of needing 2 months and 20,000 cores of a supercomputer to run a multiphase simulation of a rocket engine injector, I'll be able to do it on my phone in a few hours... For a bit of context, I am PhD computational fluid dynamicist from JHU, and a professional multiphase fluid dynamicst and propulsion engineer with NASA... no question that any critique I have for this video would be dramatically over judgmental, and needlessly critical. Of course this wasn't made for me, and hopefully it was a nicely informative discussion for lots of viewers. The more people interested and excited by the wonderfully silly, counterintuitive, often spectacularly beautiful world of fluid dynamics the better. So instead of critique, I have a hopefully helpful suggestion regarding attribution. It's usually considered best practice to refer to a known fluid dynamics phenomenon (or really any physics phenomenon) by it's wildly accepted name, if it has one. Especially if that common name serves as attribution for the original scientist who discovered it (which it often does). To be clear, this is absolutely not a question of plagiarism or anything remotely along those lines, the ethics of this video are perfectly fine as far as I can tell. I think it's more about respectful attribution of profound scientific achievement, even if it's just through a simple common name for a regularly observed phenomenon. Based on the info in your bio, I am certain you the author already know this, but for anyone else reading along: Just as equations are named for people, so to commonly observed phenomena are named for people, as are fundamental non-dimensional numbers, and lots of things in science. In this case, the particular flavor of vortex shedding you showed is typically called Karman (or Von Karman) vortex shedding, which creates a Karman vortex street. Not that you're expected to give a history lesson on Theo von Karman (or Vincenc Strouhal for that matter), just including the name the first time you reference it is generally considered best practice even in conversational, informal contexts. I don't think it's super important, but I do think it's nicely respectful to attribute credit to the brilliant fluid dynamicists, physicists, and mathematicians who came before us. After all, we stand on the shoulders of giants. I think others might be a bit more militant about this than I am. For me, it just sounds... idk, vaguely "off" I guess. To hear "vortex shedding" (i.e.absent named attribution) in this context when it is very obviously a named flavor of vortex shedding and when presenting to an audience that is definitely not expected to know you are obviously referring to Karman vortex shedding... it's not like "un-cited reference" off, but just... slightly off, I guess. Anyways, it's super late, and I've been up refereeing proposals for several hours. So my critical editor/referee hat is probably on way too tight, and I'm certain I'm being needlessly nitpicky. Great video, love the topic and the way you covered it, and just a friendly note that some people don't like it when you introduce new people to scientific discoveries without attribution... I didn't really think I was one of those people, but here I am writing this comment, so go figure.
That's not exactly the story I read before. I thought he was completely oblivious to the flaw until it was pointed out by a student. And that he first ignored said student concerns.
It wasn’t even the architect’s mistake though. The steel contractor changed the design from welded to bolted joints to save money, which weakened the structure. Additionally, the story about the students is a bit more complicated then what you said. Diane Hartley, the student you are referring to, did question the building’s design, but was assured by the architect that the building was fine; however, her questions led the architect to discover the design change. Later on, the architect was having a conversation with Lee DeCarolis, the student the video refers to, which, when combined with Hartley’s inquiry, convinced the architect to recalculate structure, which allowed him to discover the danger.
this video absolutely blew me away. it's one thing to research all this online, and it's a whole new level to go out and get the data and test simulations yourself.
Fun fact, the typical holes in the Hong Kong skyscrapers are called "Dragon Gates". They represent a passage for dragons to fly from the mountain to the sea, symbolising living in peace with nature.
Diane Hartley was actually the one who found the issue while studying the new innovative design. She was a Princeton student at the time and her initial claims were ignored. She’s the one who actually pushed to have the issue looked into.
Amazing video as always James! Amazing explanations of some really complicated topics. Looking forward to some more videos from the US! Hope you are doing well at MIT :)
Actually, when LeMessurier redid the calculations of his original design, they were fine in the diagonal winds. But someone in Citigroup had the builders use bolts instead of welded joints. For perpendicular winds, this was still fine, but now the diagonal winds were a problem because the bolts were not the best kind of joints, but a cheaper (and easier to fabricate) design.
You missed a great opportunity to end the video saying “This is James Dingly, dangling from the Atomic Frontier”. Jokes apart, great video, as always 👍
Finally your back!!! Love your content. Wish you health and happiness for the new year. May God gives you prosperity, piece of mind and a lot of ideas to educate us. My greetings from Greece George
A concrete design professor of mine in architecture school gave a lesson on a still existing major security risk with the structural design of 601 Lexington. Unfortunately, there’s no way to publicly talk about it without getting on some watchlists, even though the issues with it aren’t exactly secret… That said, it was quite the eye opener about how to design to protect against wind load _and_ terrorism. We live in a post-9/11 world, so those are considerations that we’re taught about during our schooling now. Anyways, this building is innovative in its design, but has had some serious issues with it. And it potentially still does depending on who you ask.
3:27 The effeect of shedding alternating voritces is called formation of a Kármán vortex street. Many tall cylinders (chimneys , antennas ...) have helical fins fitted to prevent the prevent/reduce th formation of vortices.
Just a heads up on the pronunciation for anyone who's confused, at 0:41 I believe he meant to say Anemometer which measures windspeed not Ammeter which measures amperage.
I’m on the top floor of an apartment building which is currently swaying slightly in high winds, it’s freaking me out a bit, but this made me feel better 😅
The story about 601 and the corner forces at 8:00 is actually more interesting than you depicted. 99% invisible covered it and spoke with the student who originally discovered the problem. She was misrepresented as a male student by the original architect. Worth a listen to if that sort of thing tickles your fancy.
Realy interesting stuff, little James really cracked me up. I wonder what other engineering screw-up and solution type videos you will cover in the future. Can't wait. 😊
They would have to put swiveling turbines in buildings with openings on each side on the level of the turbine. Like the openings in 432 Park ave, they might work to house wind turbines.
Correct! Apparently the student's original critique of the building being unstable was misinformed, but then that prompted LeMessurier to do his own analysis after also finding out his original design wasn't implemented in the way he intended (bolts rather than welded from the get-go, thus making it weaker). How much of that is actually true vs. "very smart engineer not wanting to admit a random student spotted a mistake" is debatable though.
I know I'm a year or two late to the comments here... but just wanted to mention that you don't really have to travel all the way down from Boston to NYC to find skyscrapers with interesting histories of engineering issues! We've got our very own John Hancock Tower (technically just called 200 Clarendon Street since 2015) right here in Boston's Copley Square. 😉 Back in the 70s, engineers at MIT apparently built a scale model of the tower + the entirety of Back Bay, and tested it in the MIT Wright Brothers Wind Tunnel to figure out why the 500lb window panes kept crashing hundreds of feet down to the street in high winds. As part of the fix, the entire 58th floor was converted into a huge tuned mass damper (à la 7:34) weighing hundreds of tons. Even today, if you stand in the middle of Copley Square and look up at the tower past Trinity Church, you'll see it as a row of windows three down from the top of the tower which appears to be missing. I for one would love to see what that tuned mass damper looks like up close, and learn more about how it works... You think they'd let you up there to make a follow-up video? 😄🤞🙏
You used the drum and bugle Corps Southwind logo on your thumbnail. I just thought I would leave a comment and let you know that it was really cool to see it
For those wondering, the answer is that they're heavy, strong, shaped to reduce wind loads, and can absorb wind loads elastically. I did a quick calculation for the Empire State Building. If treating it as a completely rigid object, the wind would have to blow around 400mph to make it fall over. This only takes into account the fact the building is extremely heavy and it would take a massive amount of force to blow it over. Hope that saves 10 minutes!
Thanks! I'm using this year to work out if I can do this sustainability after graduation or if its just a side hobby next to my actual engineering job. Will see in December!
Thanks! Its a mix depending on how good the origional audio was. The intro and conclusion are 100% dubbed though. I played the origional recording on headphones while repeating the lines, then Julian used the origional reference audio to work out what SFX to use. I think he used ball bearings to make the rattling sound from the climbing mechanism. Thanks for letting us know you liked it! -James
I just realized how fast wind is where I live. In New York the average wind speed at ground level is about a meter per second. Right now where I live it's 4 meters per second. That is about 2.23 miles per hour and 9 miles per hour
Simple answer, the weight of the building coupled with the depth of the foundations is greater than the force the wind can exert against their sides. This is a 30 sec video tops not 11 minutes.
I'm so excited to back with a new season! Lots more episodes coming soon, although thankfully none which require me to drag a table and leaf blower into Central Park (again)!
Lmao hopefully it’s just as entertaining
great to see you back! i‘m excited for what’s to come!

I know I'm a year or two late to the comments here... but just wanted to mention that you don't really have to travel all the way down from Boston to NYC to find skyscrapers with interesting histories of engineering issues! We've got our very own John Hancock Tower (technically just called 200 Clarendon Street since 2015) right here in Boston's Copley Square. 😉 Back in the 70s, engineers at MIT apparently built a scale model of the tower + the entirety of Back Bay, and tested it in the MIT Wright Brothers Wind Tunnel to figure out why the 500lb window panes kept crashing hundreds of feet down to the street in high winds. As part of the fix, the entire 58th floor was converted into a huge tuned mass damper (à la 7:34) weighing hundreds of tons. Even today, if you stand in the middle of Copley Square and look up at the tower past Trinity Church, you'll see it as a row of windows three down from the top of the tower which appears to be missing.

My takeaway is that Empire State was built properly, and it just so happens to be better looking than the rest too.

What is the source is the aerosol simulation used in this video?
I made it myself... turns out there are some benefits to being a Course 16. Give me an email if you want the code
Simple answer, the weight of the building coupled with the depth of the foundations is greater than the force the wind can exert against their sides. This is a 30 sec video tops not 11 minutes.
How do you maintain the same pitch at different locations at different times of the day in different physical effort configurations?
Well this somehow made me more comfortable being in tall buildings, and also extremely more afraid of tall buldings
I’m just commenting so that this can be boosted more in the algorithm
The oscillating from wind can be used to make power, I think its called vortex bladeless.
