- Bridges and tunnels connect our world, making travel faster and more convenient. But when disaster strikes, the results can be tragic. From structural failures to natural disasters, this video explores the common causes of bridge and tunnel accidents and dives into what engineers are doing to prevent them. Learn about some of history’s most devastating collapses and how modern technology is improving the safety of these critical structures.

Im surprised Cypress Expressway in Oakland, CA didn't make the list. Its collapse was triggered by the 1989 Earthquake but the structure had serious design flaws. Killed 42 people
That guy was so brave in the first bridge collapse... I wish the dog tubby wasn't so scared 😢 but thanks for trying to get him out... idk if anyone passed away in the other bridge collapsing because I'm still at the beginning
Since when was Minneapolis the capital of Minnesota? I always thought it was St Paul.
Program starts at 2:25. Recommend playback speed 1.25.
Thanks~
The financial cost is always a bull-shark excuse because it shouldn't cost much at all to rebuild the structure.
They could have just found 10,000 people to hold the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to prevent it from collapsing
Fern Hollow Bridge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Jan 28, 2022. My mom & I just drove across that bridge the day before. Luckily, it collapsed during the early morning hours, like 4-5am. So only 1 bus & a few ppl were affected. None killed.
NEVER is a BOLD statement
Who tf took off and left their dog behind in the car?! 😡
Did the dude at least leave the car door open so the dog could get out on its own? I can’t tell in the video.😢
So many of these needed criminal charges!
I swear that Italian/French tunnel one was an episode of 911 or Chicago fire or station 19 (can’t remember which one).
You goofed up , tunnel diaster #3 nearly lead to a war between Germany and Switzerland
When I die, I hope that the story of my existence isn't spraypainted numbers on a windshield or the side of a house. After the Haysville/south Wichita tornado when I delivered mail, the symbols used for denoting cleared structures, and an accounting of all residents living, injured, and dead, I have a strong reaction to seeing it. I was there the day after, had to bring half the route back because it was gone, and hold others because the spray paint sigil on the siding indicated they were deceased and not coming back for it. That was a rough few weeks covering that route.
People needed to leaved their vehicles and take off on foot toward the opening.
Why don't they use sky hooks?? I just can't understand WHY THEY DON'T USE SKY HOOKS!!

7:52 Minneapolis is not the capital of Minnesota. St. Paul is.
We engineers work with the materials of the day. It is commonplace when designing and put in safety features companies want it cheaper and faster. JIT is a BS term used by Japanese that you only fix things when they break. Regular maintenance is always delayed for or pushed back beyond limits for profit. In every case here I see an engineer arguing the importance of having these measures in place. I know I was who called out these acts of selfish and dangerous acts.
i wish youd say or put a flag on screen saying distances and heights in imperial measurements too
SI units are the world's most widely used system of measurement.
Do people have to change their ways
Why don't they put sprinkler systems in tunnels? And i would think that many vehicles pushing simultaneously outward at each end would unclog them. Everyone just put their vehicles in reverse at the same time! Why wouldn't that work?
Consider: traffic up to the tunnel would also need to reverse. How far back do you imagine people spontaneously and simultaneously reversing? Do you drive? You would realise reversing is more difficult than forward motion, even without the stress of escaping a fire. Regarding smoke being cleared from the tunnel, that was pretty much what the design relied on. It had been adequate until this incident. All previous fires had been extinguished by the drivers, so sprinklers hadn't seemed necessay. A situation like this fire was not conceived of. I can't remember if this very short and sketchy item mentioned that the fire refuges provided were effectively ovens because a fire of this intensity was never conceived of, either.
You can't even get 1 stupid car (most likely a woman) to reverse, yet you expect hundreds of cars to do it? HAHAHAHA. That's like asking OJ Simpson if he killed Nicole Brown & her friends, or Boeing if they suicided their 2 ex-employees, or Killary if she killed the 4-5 former aides who were about to testify against her.
Seen it with my own eyes. We were on I-24 Eastbound, about several miles to I-75 intersection. Traffic had come to a stand still. A fire truck needed to come thru, so the firefighters were walking ahead & telling drivers to move. I had seen the fire truck approaching my rear for the past 20 minutes. The lady behind me, in her 50's-60's, just sit there with her eyes straight ahead. I motion to her several times. No response. Finally, the firefighter walked up to her window, tap on her glass, then she finally notice.
if anyone died in the mont blanc tunnel, it was because itialian fuoco where too chckenshit to go in and get them.
soon we may have an EV car or truck fire in tunnel fire problem ? the EV vehicle mandates and incentives are idiotic
To much waffle

I don't like the metric only standards. America still uses feet and miles because they have to. That country was built using those standards, not meters anc kilometers. Couldn't they give both metric AND imperial units? I'm exiting the video.
Time to learn it bruh 😂😂😂 Missed a great video 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
From what I read, only around 2-5% of the world don't use the metrix system. It probably only would take more time and money for the ones that made this video 🤷♂
America doesn’t have to keep using feet and miles. Most of the world used to use the imperial system and switched to metric because its far simpler. Americans are just too stubborn to change.
I’m from England we use both metric and imperial for many things and we just learn how to convert between.
13:00 did she say 2008 there? Im not sure if I just misunderstood or not 🤔
40:40 _Naturally?_
*No.*
Why "No"? I think many people would flee to the summit when the fire comes from below🤔
