Yes, a harsh lesson in learning lessons harshly, where stating the obvious can be obviously irritating, because of reasons that are both obvious and irritating, without actually saying anything of value, because it's valueless, obviously.
The Arecibo dish didn't collapse, it was the support for the antennas that gave way, after some attachments failed. By the time it all came down, it was already clear that it would have to be demolished because there was no safe way to repair it. The cracks in the dish were due to stuff falling onto it. There is drone footage of the moment of collapse. Just search for it.
I think he meant to say "late 20th century". A lot of people forget that the century number is higher than the year it starts with. 20th century = 1900s.
Highlighting construction mistakes without providing context or solutions feels like shaming hard-working professionals rather than addressing systemic issues in the industry.
A couple well known actual construction mistakes (not demolition) were noticably missing, and why is it that the thumbnail is never of an incident that is actually included in the video, or even of a real incident and not some photoshopped BS.
Do not have a preview picture of something not in the video and drop the annoying way the narrator starts the video, in fact use a different one for a change. I am fed up with hearing the same voices on videos.
@@raoultheowl3140 I don't think I did say it was a competition. Physics is....physics. How fast it's going, how heavy or light it is, is it rolling or sliding... When I say physics wins I'm talking scientific fact. What in the world are *you* talking about???
every time I see a crane collapsing with weight, I think to myself: Math is so important, and why are some people obviously unable to read ? Such things are literally impossible if you do the Math
@@neilfoss8406 So many of these incidents are due to a crane holding a load too heavy at too long a reach. It comes down to math, pure and simple. Of course, I don't expect the crane driver to do the math on the spot - but it will have been done by the crane designers, and there will be a notice issued with the sale of the crane about its limits. I have never been in construction, but I would expect modern equipment to have alerts and warnings that limits are being exceeded.
@neilfoss8406 way to much mass on a way to long arm.... for me its simple Math and physics to prevent this from happening. The Max load you can put on an arm togehter with the max lenght you can draw an arm. Do the Math, Use two cranes, whatever but 100 percent of these incidents are preventable
Cranes, Trucks, Back Hoes, Excavators, D-Niners, Yellow things with big tyres, Diesel Engines, Smoke & C4 & TNT & Big Kaboomers, Diggers, Liebherr and BobCat and Skidsteer and Things that go BrummBrummBrumm in the Night. YAY!! I'm all over any of that!!
When ever I see a chimney or tower falling incorrectly I ask my self "wheres Fred Dibnah when we need him?" What is really sad is how many of these buildings, towers and bridges were constructed so badly they had to be brought down with explosives. The mis-use of cranes is so damning !
I always wonder how many workers kissed their jobs goodbye after the demo errors, and the number of managers having panic attacks and who gets the blame!!
10:40 Seens lots of these lift fails, but have a question, whay doesn't the Operator simply release the lift brakes and allow the load to fall in turn unloading the crane which may remove the damages involved in it collapsing, it's damage to surrounding equipment/structures/lives and the Operator going for the ride?
Because when it starts tilting they jump clear of the cab and evacuate the area rather than staying in the crane and trying to recover it. The safety of the operator comes first
20:45 Technically, the reflector dish didn't collapse. The cables holding the receiving the receiving anntenna and old control room in position at the focus failed. The debris fell onto the reflecting dish.
I really appreciate that you give information about these events rather than just showing the catastrophe. It makes the videos so much more interesting.
Design, materials, construction, inspection, renovation, maintenance, demolition, laws, regulations - all done by professionals. Or is supposed to be. And I'm under the impression that insurance, protection from financial loss, must work differently around the world.
Many of the incidents you show, there were injuries or deaths involved. Your honesty is severely lacking. I had an acquaintance that died in the Dutch canal crane incident. In which there were numerous injuries and deaths. How much more dishonest can you be.
hmm i dont see Australia's biggest construction disaster, the collapse of the West Gate Bridge , On 15 October 1970 at 11.50am, a section of the West Gate Bridge known as span 10-11 suddenly collapsed and fell 50 metres. The bridge had been under construction for two to three years. In total, 35 workers died as a result of the collapse.
3:50 The cranes did not collapse, they toppled over because they were on floating pontoons without proper mooring or balancing. The irony is that this happened in the Netherlands, quite famous for its engineering in, with or around water but this one they got 100% wrong.
This script serves as a stark reminder to check your script for too many instances of "serves as a stark reminder".

probably made by AI, this channel is low effort slop
There is great significance in the passage of time. Our community of people is a community. Of. People.
at one point it said, "unfortunately no one was hurt"
The Carola Brücke in Dresden was built in 1971, not in the late 18th century.
He says "late 19th" but it is still total nonsens. ;)
well thats a “stark reminder “ that we shouldn’t believe what you hear on the internet .
@@2222hippie 1971 is the 20th century not the 19th
Year 35 is in the 1st century.
@@cjod33 Why do you tell me something so obvious? :D
RIP Arecibo and thank you for everything!
That stadium going down at the end was masterfully done, loved it!
I believe that was the 'Omni' in Atlanta, GA back ... er, I think 1997 after the Olympics.
Nobody cares :(
@@amzarnacht6710 Nope. That was Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati brought down by O'Rourke Wrecking Company.
The Arecibo Puerto Rico Observatory collapse was due to LACK OF MAINTENANCE 😢
The bridge collapse in Alphen a/d Rijn did have a victim. A dog called Nuka was killed 😔

The Carola Bridge in Dresden wasn't built in the late 19th century, construction began in 1967 and continued until 1971. I am older than that bridge.

I think you confuse construction mistakes with scheduled demolition.
Well, there were several "mistakes" with not smart enough workers.
I love watching your videos afork, it relaxester
Highlighting construction mistakes without providing context or solutions feels like shaming hard-working professionals rather than addressing systemic issues in the industry.
Yea, the missing context for so many of these made for hard viewing.
55 Biggest Construction Mistakes in the World.... What does good demolition have to do with it?
yes,except weren't built right to begin with?
Good demolition? I saw lots of demolition of bad construction and bad demolition (perhaps more accurately demolition with unplanned results).
So many buildings, massive complexes, none of them very old.
4:12 is a stark reminder to check the script
A couple well known actual construction mistakes (not demolition) were noticably missing, and why is it that the thumbnail is never of an incident that is actually included in the video, or even of a real incident and not some photoshopped BS.
And this is the comment I look for before I move on. Thanks for taking one for the team. Also the likes to views ratio.
Yeah, which is why I almost always give this channel a thumbs down. Despite choosing 'not to see this channel' it keeps popping up in my feed.
Amen!!!
Yeah! What this clown said!
@@amzarnacht6710thumbs down is the same thing as a thumbs up you're still helping the video
Common thread in all of these: Gravity always wins!
The funniest thing about this is the narration, done in the style of the fella who narrates the B1M channel.😉✌️
Shame that the advertising picture is never in the videos! Apart from that it's great.
Is it, Rene?! Is it Tony The Tiger, ggrrrrrreaaat?!
Greetings from VIETNAM. MORNING AN LANHG
liebherr - best stuff! :-)
HELLO EVERYONE ❤ LIKE YOUR AWESOME SPEECH ❤
Maybe crane operators should learn some physics!
The stadium one was awesome 😅
great records !!! 1A TOP !!!
4:59 come on 😂 I'm an armchair person and knew that was gonna happen
A question I keep asking myself why do not wheeled cranes have an outrigger at the back
This is really basic stuff
These are not construction mishaps, it’s destruction mishaps!!
Is this a legitimate comment orrrrrr just a pathetically desperate attempt to garner some attention or reaction? Nobody cares! Buh-bye!
The Carole bridge was built in 1967 to 1971. That is the 20TH CENTURY not the 19th century. You really need to go back to school.
I was thinking "brutalist architecture wasn't a thing in the 1800s".
*A perfect mix of shocking and entertaining*
Do not have a preview picture of something not in the video and drop the annoying way the narrator starts the video, in fact use a different one for a change. I am fed up with hearing the same voices on videos.
Not construction mistakes. Demolition mistakes.
Some of those demolitions look like they had Wile-E-Coyote in charged of them. 😂
Physics always wins.
AND GRAVITY

Does it? Does it really always win?
It's not a competition. There are no winners or losers.

I always wonder have designers ever looked into having a button in the crane, that lets the spool freewheel, and drop the load?
Hi Mike, from Oceanliner Designs.
The way they put an undercut in a concrete silo like it's a tree makes me shake my head at this stupidity every time.
that rolls had no tires on the rear wheel ....so it was not used for a long time.
These clickbaits are to get you to watch the video. They are never on these videos

Lol @19:20
If they had done a humbolt instead of a conventional... she would have fell forward 😅😅😅just kidding
The residential building in Scotland missed being the first steel frame structure brought down by controlled demolition by about ten years.
A must-watch for anyone in the industry.
Excavators are not bulldozers😅😃😃
A crushed Rolls-Royce that's uninsured? 🤣🤣🤣 That's what you get, cheapskate. 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, you tell him. He probably cares.
More likely a muslim owner.
Die Carolabrücke in Dresden wurde 1971 eröffnet und ist nicht historisch. Sie ist auf Grund mangelnder Wartung eingestürzt.
My goodness - it looks like that wee itty bitty little crane was meant to pick up an engine block🤣
That was so.....impressive 15:14
When ever I see a chimney or tower falling incorrectly I ask my self "wheres Fred Dibnah when we need him?" What is really sad is how many of these buildings, towers and bridges were constructed so badly they had to be brought down with explosives. The mis-use of cranes is so damning !
This was incredibly well-crafted
😂😂😂
Have you not read the whiners commenting?
Domo Arigato, Mr. Robotto. Thank you ever so much for your attempt to boost this channel's ratings.
I always wonder how many workers kissed their jobs goodbye after the demo errors, and the number of managers having panic attacks and who gets the blame!!
Big construction mistakes or small demolishing mistakes
10:40 Seens lots of these lift fails, but have a question, whay doesn't the Operator simply release the lift brakes and allow the load to fall in turn unloading the crane which may remove the damages involved in it collapsing, it's damage to surrounding equipment/structures/lives and the Operator going for the ride?

I have wondered the same thing. As soon as you FEEL the crane lift, measures should be taken to reverse that action to regain control.
And at 13:15, why don't they lift the load?
Nice video
The very last clip was Atlanta Braves Fulton County stadium being imploded, I was there on top of a building shooting pics when they did that.
I just gt a notification so i watched it LMAO😂
Woulda bin nice if all the failures were identified and explained.
The crane driver plus this company is liable for all costs
Never mind hey
Crunch! Excellent video.
20:45 Technically, the reflector dish didn't collapse. The cables holding the receiving the receiving anntenna and old control room in position at the focus failed. The debris fell onto the reflecting dish.
This was so well put together. You're a true pro at this!
18:35 Somebody is really showing off his stoic attitude! :D
This should be re-titled "Cranes falling over".
The current Carola bridge was built by the DDR in the 20th century.
I really appreciate that you give information about these events rather than just showing the catastrophe. It makes the videos so much more interesting.
Too bad it wasn’t accurate 😂
Every time I hear that "fortunately no one was hurt" I hear how financially hurt some of these people will be hurt lol.
The zilwalkie bridge in Michigan fell down not once, but twice. Which is a huge section of highway. It fell due to bad planning.
Incredible disasters!. Seems to be impossible. Great content!!!
How does this have a million views and only 235 comments 🤔
The stadium at the very end was Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. It's demo in ~1997 went as planned.
Some countries have no standards.
5:30.... Dafuq kind of bulldozer is that!? lol
Some big insurance claims here.
except some of the "disasters" went exactly as planed
Several old and wellknown clips.
.. 3:50 .. "hey boss...we have a little problem" 🤣
Hello, good moning fantastic and beautiful videos is fantastic thank 😊💯✖️💯👍🏼🆗️
That bridge over the Elba wasn't built in the late 19th century.
11:51 für alle, die die Carolabrücke suchen.
I'm no expert but I've noticed a pattern here...something to do with gravity and balance.
When a mobile crane topples without a ground failure, it's clear that the operators had not read the instruction manual.
Hold on!!! Three feet of topsoil actually weighs something!?
dude in the crane @11:04 someone needs to check his pants. . . . . Cause I know for a fact that my pants would need to be changed lol
A lot of these guys need to change😅😅😅
Ignoring or defying gravity is mostly dangerous....
And no, I am not Isaac Newton but I believe in him
Carolabrücke in Dresden was built in the late 20th century, not in the late 19th century, it's not quite historic.
Expensive OOPS !
Hey boss, are you sitting down?
상상하기도 싫은 일들이. 세계곳곳 어딘가에서 .매일 매일. 일어납니다.
I have so many questions. I hate when they over-explain on 1 video then give 0 explanations on others 🙄
Well, I’m glad we know cuz nobody cares. Thank you
Well I’ve seen enough now to know there’s absolutely no way I’m ever taking my car across that bridge in India. 😂😂😂
the biggest problem: gravity..
4:04 Great idea all that weight on a pontoon

14:32 Glückwunsch auch von mir😂😂😂

Wow!! Videos were awesome!!!! Loved every one of them. Thank u for such interesting content as always!!! ❤
