Often imitated never duplicated Michael Anothy videos are the best!!!!!!! What an amazing video to kick off the new year. I sure hope Michael you get to meet these guys, they are truly amazing. You can see how cold it is by the frost on the all the steel. What an awsome video this was!!!!
Next time you think you have a tough job, think about those three guys adjusting cable stays in 20 degree weather at 722 feet! Outstanding content as usual MAV. 👍👍
Union millwrights, riggers, operating engineers, do the job right. They have training, experience, and integrity. They enjoy their work and take pride in their professionalism. The job is done right, every time.
Great flying skills and video. It's amazing to think these guys are going to be the last human hands to touch that concrete way up those supports. Nice shout out to the men and women working on this project.
Hats off to the incredible men and women who worked on this. I drive by it several times a week. It crazy how fast they built it. Crazy that one family owns both these bridges.
The Gordie Howe is not owned by the Maroon family, I believe it is owned and operated by some joint US Cdn Bridge authority, was funded by the Cdn federal government who will be collecting the toll.
@@stevesteve1005 Wrong! They may own the Ambassador Bridge but not the new Gordie Howe Bridge. This bridge is being financed by the Canadian government, with not one cent from anywhere in the US! bunch of cheapskates.
@@stevesteve1005 No. Gordy Howe is a joint venture between the Canadian government and the State of Michigan. The Moroun family fought for years in the courts to stop this project from happening.
I wonder if those workers were surprised to find they had an audience so far up on the tower? They kind of seem like they are...All of them, including the ones on the deck seem amused. Anyway, those shots looking down the rows of cables are very abstract and very cool! You have a great eye to frame these sorts of shots.
I really enjoyed the video. It was very interesting to see all the manual chainfalls being used. Now, I don't want to be a debby downer, are these flights done under permit? I know a lot of drone stuff gets bad rep in media for intruding. Hopefully this is all on the up and up.
Yet another great video. Clearly out done your self on this one. Total access and up close to critical components of the bridge is impressive. Thanx Michael for your attention to detail.
@@KevinHill-u4f Ok but I’m an aerial photographer and I don’t know anything about bridge engineering. If I narrated, it would be fake and just reading off of a website. Not what I envisioned.
Happy New Year Michael ! At this time , have you heard of a definite date to complete the bridge ? I hear Fall of 2025 , but nothing certain ? I want to book my flight to Detroit from Fla As always, awesome videos!
Great video but I think one's appreciation of the video would be increased even more if you had given the viewer an understanding of why adjustments had to be made, what had to be done to make these adjustments, how they were being made and then the implementation of the project plan. Without any intent of being critical, all I can see is workers doing I-don't-know-what. As I said, I do not mean to be overly critical and am simply offering this comment as a suggestion for a way to improve your final offering.
I get what you’re saying, but I’m not a bridge engineer. For me to narrate would be fake and just reading off of a website. I’m an aerial photographer.
@@American54 Maybe they are already too tight. Did you ever think about that? And just how do you tighten or loosen a cable that is under tons of tension? How do they determine what the tension should be? How do they know which cables need adjustment? My comment was not as simple as your reply seemed to indicate.

@@Hey_Its_J_ay That would be cool to meet them and talk to them and talk to them about the bridge. Thank you so much for your nice words!
The Greatest Hockey Player In History...Approves of this work on his bridge

Those are ironworkers
Shout out to these amazing hard working professionals! Know you are all appreciated for what you do in some hostile working conditions!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Well said!
Nice views ! Great drone control too.👍👍
@@blueman5924 Thank you for watching, Blueman!
What an amazing bunch of guys!
Whatever their union scale is, it ain't enough! American and Canadian heroes on both sides!
Great flying skills and video. It's amazing to think these guys are going to be the last human hands to touch that concrete way up those supports. Nice shout out to the men and women working on this project.
@@ridgec5670 Thank you for watching!

Which family owns what???
@@BasementEngineer the Maroon family owns both ambassador and Gordy howe bridges

Sweet Good to see the guys appreciating your (our) appreciation of their work.
@@happyhome41 It is nice to see. Thank you for watching!
Awesome video, Thank you
@@Randy-h6d Thank you for watching the video Randy!
I don't like heights and retired from working outside in the cold weather. Good job guys!
@@maxium4x4 I used to work outdoors well. I don’t miss it.
Your video filming is of professional quality. Thanks for continuing the cool drone clips!
@@tmacmi9095 That’s very kind of you, thank you!
Now that’s working.
Stay safe guys💪
thank you for this informative video Michael--confirms you are in a League of your own--
@@pulsenpal7882 It’s my pleasure and thank you for watching!
Microscopic attention to detail - combined with pulsating music - delivers quality rarely seen.
@@patrickhughlynch56 Hello Patrick, thank you very much for your nice comment!
Great video Michael!!👍
@@cds957 Thank you Charles!
Great video today!
@@aBluegrassPicker I’m glad you like it!
What an amazing job you’re doing I wish I could’ve worked on that bridge
@@mikewietecha9961 Thank you Mike! 🙏👍
Hard working Bridge Building Men
Only the few who have done bridge work on this scale have seen what I just watched . Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!

I wonder if any of them watch these videos and see themselves.
@@leeriffee4606 They looked surprised and I hope they like the video.

@@stephensignor7848 Thank you so much! 😊
Is there any reason why some of the banding on the stay cables are blue and others are red.
Blue is US, Red is Canuck.
what is the process in tightening the stay cables?
At 2:42 No lanyards on his
safety harness? Big balls on those iron workers.
@@mikew9468 😬 Good eye. I don’t see that.
look closely you can see it on the ground looping around his right leg big black rope?
you can see it better on his back at 3:42.
Are those tie down straps holding up that bridge... Gotta get me some those.
Would be far better if some narrative was included, describing what the adjustments entail.
@@KevinHill-u4f Ok but I’m an aerial photographer and I don’t know anything about bridge engineering. If I narrated, it would be fake and just reading off of a website. Not what I envisioned.

@@CarlosAlvarez-lj7gh happy new year, Carlos! I hope you enjoy your trip up here to Detroit.
Iooks very very cold up there
@@Thefuturelooksbight it’s been very cold and we’re actually getting a lot of snow right now and the roads are bad.

I agree! Interesting, but not informative. Sadly, this approach makes it nothing more than a time filler. Unfulfilled possibilities!

@@JustAnOldMan56 ok. I’m an Ariel photographer and not an expert in Bridge engineering.
I would say it’s to tighten them you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out🤯

@@bernhardtschubert 🙏🏻👍🏻❤️👋🏻
Why the annoying music? Couldn't handle it! Gone at 3:35
You should really have a worker there explain to you what youre looking at. Your assumptions are embarrassing. Theyre not "adjusting cable stays".
