    For the Great molasses flood you left out one of the most important part of the story. The prohibition was about to be enacted. This meant that they could no longer sell or produce alcohol. That was the main reason for the tank being constructed so fast and so poorly.

    There WAS a fatality on the Narrows bridge in Tacoma...it was a dog. A motorist ran from his car leaving behind his dog, because the bridge was skaking so hard. Sad. Nickname of this bridge is "Galloping Gertie". Bridge was rebuilt and another bridge was built next to the older one to accommodate the increased traffic flow to and from the Peninsula to Tacoma. No longer referred to the Narrows bridge, now the Narrows bridges. My dad painted on the on the first one that was replaced. He said they used flimsy scaffoldings in those days 😮 The most recent bridge signicantly improved traffic flow! We have to pay toll to cover cost of new bridge. I was born and raised heŕe in Tacoma, WA. USA

    Fascinating how these unsolved mysteries never lose their grip on us! I recently stumbled upon something that connects to this topic in ways I never expected… Ever feel like there’s more beneath the surface of these stories?"

    #sweettopic It’s not fair in my opinion to always blame the engineers for these failures. In most cases, the engineers did their job correctly and the failure was a result of cost cutting by the accountants. The engineers cannot force the construction to be built as designed.

    "...some components ended up scattered across populated areas of W. Australia."
    Back up, Cherry! You're just gonna leave that there? Elaborate!

    The best part of all of these screw ups is that the cost of the damage was never recovered , no one went to prison, and taxpayers got stuck with the bill.
    The USA is a great place !

    Scary stuff happens more than we know about. We only know a small part of things we should .

    You know what moist salty air does to concrete and steel? turns steel to dust quickly "rust" . Makes concrete brittle until it collapses "throw a chunk of brittle concrete on the ground when it hits it will be a pile of mostly dust. The biggest engineering fails are all the skyscraper buildings in coastal areas. The one's that don't get demolished will com down on their own eventually. The colder that coastal area gets the sooner it will happen

    It's scary to know that this kinda stuff happens. It's not supposed to. Thats why they have teams of people to double and triple check these things. Way too many people more concerned with deadlines and money than getting it done Right.😢

    The Chevy tracker is just like the ford pinto on where the gas tank is located at right behind the bumper.

      9 thousand one-dollar bills or 36 thousand quarters or 90 thousand dimes or 180 thousand nickels' or 9 hundred thousand pennies. And a partridge in a pear tree.

    Your segment on the Beauvais Cathedral France; you used the external & some internal video of the Dom Cathedral in Köln Germany.
    In the earlier segment on bridge collapse you slotted in a few seconds of a European city bridge, this may also have been from Köln Germany.

    #sweettopic I searched the internet for this disaster and couldn't find it. Is it instead a photoshopped / AI created image?

    The "sweet topic" is a totally fabricated slice of bullsh*t. The entire video is carelessly thrown together just for clicks.
