- Massive Engineering Mistakes - S03 E10
Witness engineering calamities that shook communities in Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Indiana. From a hillside collapse to bridge failures, discover the critical missteps in these catastrophic engineering tales. Tune in to see how such massive projects went so wrong.
-------
Massive Engineering Mistakes is a riveting series that explores the daunting realm of architectural blunders and engineering catastrophes. From gravity-defying towers on the brink of collapse to bridges built upside-down and airports slowly sinking into the sea, these ambitious missteps redefine the boundaries of scientific innovation. Yet amidst chaos, the genius of human ingenuity shines, crafting solutions as awe-inspiring as the disasters themselves. Unveiling the precarious balance between triumph and failure, this show offers a thrilling journey into the world of spectacular engineering errors and their extraordinary rectifications.

2:45 I love that grady from practical engineering is on here
My experience with a lack of hard shoulder on the same M1 they talk about here. I was traveling with a friend and we were moving at 95 kph when his motor simply cut out. We coasted for a while, hoping to make a refuge but never did. A faulty master computer had shorted and the car was never going to restart without the computer being replaced. We got stopped just a few CM from the wall and started to get out to climb over the wall. Somebody pulled in behind us and yelled if we were out of petrol. No, the motor just quit with a 'check motor' light on. OK, so he eased up and started to push us the 1/2 km to the refuge. We never made it. The bloke got hit from behind. He was killed and we were actually catapulted over the hard wall and into the woods beyond. That wall was nearly a meter high! While still alive, we were both in hospital a few days. The US has the same problem in many places miles and miles with no shoulder. Even police cars with lights flashing, or fire trucks, big, red, and dozens of red lights on them get hit. And not that a hard shoulder is all that safe, either. Fire trucks on the shoulder get plastered regularly, also.
Cell phones now account for more of these collisions than alcohol.
Straight up, our lives are a mess, and careless people are making them worse. And the judicial system does not take cell phone use/distracted driving as any type of danger.
I will NEVER!! understand why reinforced cement pads are not required for big and heavy installations. Unforigiveable.
“Hard shoulders” make the utmost sense given what was presented here! I’d never heard of them; my state in the USA doesn’t utilize this smart concept.
Sadly, it’s not surprising that given increased traffic (single-user large vehicles included), a dedicated strip of asphalt for broken down vehicles and ambulance travel would be stolen back in order to “clear the congestion.” It sounds as if two live humans were indeed tragically “cleared” from the roadway due to inoperable computer monitored “hard shoulder” lane access…
There is much more to Getting Somewhere than yet another strip of roadway to drive upon!
The shed on the wall kills me
The road fix should have used an arch design to oppose the hillside load. That flat wall will eventually tilt with the weight of the slope....
MIDAS? The arrogant greek king who famously wrecked everything he touched when cursed by the gods?
In Massachusetts we call them "breakdown lanes", unfortunately close to Boston our main north south artery I-93 lost them years ago with out any tech to compensate. I don't know if anyone has collected accident information on this change.
24:20 I was expecting him to say:"this isn't going anywhere".
See 24:40 True. But what about the battle between "big engineering" and its lack of understanding of calculations based on lab results and how the real world actually fits over time, with time. Is stasis a dangerous illusion?
If you place a crane outrigger on disturbed soil, better have a geotech approve the placement.
I get having water high gives pressure by gravity but how do they pump it so high in the first place somesort of energy was used so why not just use it to pump water seems like a false economy wat am i missing guys im an aussie we dont use These water towers. We do have Some before evryone jumps me for that we do have them but probs count on a couple of hands max how many we have so yer i dont get it.
See 20:13 It appears that the designers of the 1928 build built the apparent backfilled section to what must have been apparently very close to today's standards as stated in the video. See also 24:16 Apparently the new $7,000,000 project will last at least a couple of years longer?
See 15:50
Its utube
Why would there be workers climbing down when the crane was moving? OSHA VIOLATION?
Well I suspect they were up there to help position the tank, however they probably saw and possibly felt that the crane was getting unstable so therefore tried to climb down as quick as possible.
@@Dino-1958I agree. They where probably bailing like mice in a sinking ship. No OSHA person is going to fault anyone for scrambling for there life.
I'm certain a 5th grader would have known better SMH
In NYC we have a big crane fall about twice a year. I really don't see the point in asking what the "cause" was, because the answer is obvious. People assume risks that they haven't calculated properly. Maybe there's pressure, maybe someone's in a hurry. It's no different if you're planning something permanent and cause a landslide, for instance. We had such an incident along the Metro North Hudson River Line - formerly the four-track New York Central Railroad - recently. Somebody built up this big pile of earth on the edge of a precipice overlooking the river in order to "make more room" ...to built a RATHER OVERSIZED house and a VERY large swimming pool right at the very edge of the new, fake precipice. First big rain the whole mess slid onto the tracks. (well not the pool, though it remained intact in its new location) OH! CLIMATE CHANGE! shitheads. There are a lot of similar actions by engineers in the US now. A certain Interstate junction east of Philadelphia comes to mind, wher up is down an dnown is up. It's a common ploy that got it's start with the railroads. A studied look at the state of our railroads says a lot. It's a racket and that's how! Or see Boeing, for instance. The people in the ascendancy have become (as a rule) so dishonest and corrupt that it's impossible to get anything accomplished. I mean, what's an engineering mistake like that except dishonesty or seen in the proper light, LYING. We have to remove them from every phase of life that matters, before anything can get done.
P.S. The up-down, down-up mistake in S. Jersey will be preserved after the landslide. Which design issue was clearly the cause of the first landslide, before the road even opened. They will add massive unnatural infrastructure there to force their "mistake" to stay in place. Needless to say their reasoning is Way Off. And thus a comparatively simple project gets padded out to the max, and beyond.God, help us.
Ha! The Bri-ish don't learn safety lessons anymore, the authorities just evaluate financial risk. We are a broken country and if a government (doesn't matter which party) thinks it can save a few quid by not building a proper 4th lane that includes a hard shoulder, it will and a few deaths will not change anything, unless it is a coach party of billionaires, however they use helicopters and planes rather than share road space with the great unwashed!

Honestly I couldn't tell those roads from American ones there was so much traffic. I felt badly for that woman. I was nearly killed on a highway with no shoulder only cement Jersey walls (Don't know what they might be called in UK). A very supportive police officer said they had been complaining about that stretch of road for years to the highway people, too many accidents. No one listened of course.
get becky hairdo off screen
This made me giggle, thank you
It was.
N't the only place to build the city?It's where you built the city fin and simple.There's other places that could have been built
As a Pittsburgher I wanted to bitchslp that man. Look up the Fern Hollow Bridge, that was when a bridge fell here 2 years ago.
I have a question in the United States. We have a thing that happens. To be called blowout. Were you tired blow out? I mean, cars break down all the time too, but you know, when it's terrible that you pretty much. Gotta get off the road, especially with the steering tire. You can drive a mile and what must be nice to be a politician. You have another car pick you up
