Somehow you kept me watching until the bitter end. I can't say that my life is the better for it as even if you had magically morphed into the sexiest Hollywood starlet harlot, seeing someone's footage of them arsing about in some of Europe's swankiest swimming pools is to put it plainly more likely to engender jealousy or simple disinterest.

@@mushroomcraft The pool was built before the disaster and the investigation into it was inconclusive. Some people claimed that the temperature outside was freezing and the pool was warm which created heat shock, however the atrium it was in of the 5 star hotel was properly heated. If anything that would be more of an issue for the London pool. The main theory is that the contactors who maintained the aquarium a couple of years earlier, who did not contact the manufacture for guidance, didn't know what they were doing and were using hammer and chisel on the acrylic to separate it from the base to reapply the water tight seal, and then they didn't know the correct way to heat it to apply the new seal. Also the aquarium was made of multiple pieces glued together, when the London pool is made of 3 pieces (the sides and base) which all span the gap in one piece. Another theory is that the building the aquarium was in had shifted over time and put stress of the structure. This would not be an issue for the London pool, as the 2 building will sway separate, so the pool is dampened to allow for that.
@@benolifts Ah intersting, thanks for the knowledge, I didn't know anything about the disaster before this, and sounds like it won't happen again, because as you described they are fundimentally different. Also the Aquadom would have to deal with a higher pressure due to the height. I think it's most likely that negligence from contractors caused the disaster. Modern engineering is amazing, but sometimes it's hard to trust it. Fortunately no-one was killed in the disaster. Thanks for taking the time to reply to me, and I love your content. I just love seeing restricted areas and views, especially in 60s - 70s builds that would otherwise be lost to history now that everything is getting redeveloped with crap new builds. Still annoyed that you didn't go to Anglia Square in your visit to Norwich in 2014, 10 years on, and another failed redevelopment attempt, glad but also not glad.
An automatic door in a swimming pool is crazy cool.
I thought it would have sensors
Yes, I thought it did at first, but then there was the button@@lucasthings

Beno can you do a deatiled look at a at the new schindler lifts like the 5000 and kone Lce NMX05 and NMX18
Geez, I need to go to Switzerland. I like how the common thing about all the fanciest pools is there's practically no one in them
Thats because they are £70 per swim
Crikey! @@benolifts
what's so incredible is that 1m³ of water is 1 tonnne, so the sky bridge pool is VERY strong
Lets hope it doesn't have a smashing time like the Aquadom aquarium in Berlin, which was built be the same company.
@@benolifts oh... I've lost my confidence in it now, hopefully they learnt from that disaster
