This is great footage, i am the farmer where most of the silt is deposited. Why are they so slow to stop the flow, absolutely ridiculous losing 1000’s of tonnes of material for the sake of 50 tonnes of sandbags.
Horrible. It hurts to see it like that! I wish all those affected by this terrible event in the north west of England all the best! Greetings from a skipper from East Frisia/German North Sea coast
This is what happens when our rivers & canals are not regularly monitored and maintained. Years of underfunding whilst billions go on socialist projects..overseas aid and illegal migrants. Man made canals being destroyed by man made negligence.
The magnet fishing people get tons of metal out of waterways and can make a few quid but laws and bylaws can make it stop yet these are doing the job that needs doing, next is the Thames Barrier London will flood if local councils and a government don't act. Look at Spain after Barriers opened.
I used to live a few miles further up the canal at Timperley many years ago,and I now live in New Zealand,so this was really interesting for me Thanks for posting.Superb drone footage.
Devastation for residents and wildlife. I used to hang around and fish in the canal in Astley. I wonder if it’s emptied all the canal or if some sections have been saved by locks etc. How far does the devastation go. I hope you keep up with the progress of the repairs, if that happens. I suspect they might abandon it?
I believe the Chichester canal is due to empty itself, it wont be as catastrophic, because it will empty into Chichester harbor, but the canal gates are rotten and water is already seeping through the banks. fantastic footage btw, its incredible there's still water left to come out.
@markwoodward881 it's privately owned by the peel group so it'll come down to if they think they can still make a profit from the canal after a major expense
Earlier this year there was a leak in the Macclesfield canal embankment at Bollington. There was a small whirlpool in the centre of the canal - it was fixed with polythene sheet and clay!! The canal was boarded off whilst the repairs were made but could have caused something similar.
All the canals were lined with puddling clay, they laid a couple inches of wet clay and stomped it down with their feet, then another couple of inches and more stomping and more layers up to 3 feet deep. It must be kept wet or it dries and cracks so this will be hell to fix.
OMG, they will have to pump water from somewhere to fill that up. Gosh shocking, this UK weather system is fooked Dan what's next brilliant video mate. Tom in Derbyshire 73s Keep up the good work.
Thank you for doing this sweety. The Bridgewater canal was part of my history class at school, along with the Stockton to Darlington railway I pray they fix it 🙏🏻
Hard to work out what happened but looks like it breached and the rush of water has literally ripped away the canal bottom. The repair and damages bill will be 10s of millions.
Peel Holdings (owner's of the canal) think the Bollin flooding bellow the canal weakened the embankment causing it to collapse and cause the canal breach
One of them is a RUclipsr that streams their travels. They have videos of the night it happened and the chaos of their boats slowly getting lower and lower and trying to keep it from capsizing.
@freedomforall7003 it will come down to whether the owners "the peel group" believe they cam still make the canal profitable after what will be a costly repair
@steveminor9932 well let's keep an I on it them, But I'm 100% sure they won't repair it, all their do is make it a NO GO ZONE, & for those poor ppl who own those canal boats they will be left there to Root or hire a Crane to move them, but the Ground won't support such a big thing.
@freedomforall7003 watching a RUclipsr who lives on one of those boats. Peel group have told them they are going to attempt a coffer damn by the breach in am attempt to refloat the boats. If that fails then peel will pay for cranes to lift the boats out. But it "could take some time to do that"
Can be fixed with 6-12 months. Looks like access is achievable. The middlewhich breech cost £3m and was opened back in December. However they did need to build a road to get there
The excitement in the rural folk with this canal collapse lol Just picture the discussions they will all be having for years to come sitting with their afternoon T Spiffing🤣
It will be a huge civil engineering project to get that sorted. Depending on the local authorities budget, it could take years to get back up and running.
We had a dam wash out this past summer. I got to capture some Mavic 3 shots of the Dam, a home hours before it washed in as well as a passing ultra-lite who was orbiting. - thanks for the reminder to edit Great timing to get there you had 4:43 yikes 😬 good luck boats
The cranes and boards safety measure have always been there I would think since the canal was built , if not , as long as I can remember and I'm 75 , I live close to the canal and if you see them up close you will see they are very old

Excellent footage. Fabulous and tragic at the same time. Feel so sorry for any farmers affected by flooding. One of your best videos ❤
This is a great example showing how great Drones are. Big task ahead for its repair. Hopefully you can periodically show progress updates 👍
I live 5 mins from this canal, it’s going to take months to rebuild, thanks for sharing the footage, it’s my daily cycling route, heartbreaking
Brilliant work mate. I like when you show ecological stuff.

That’s a massive job to repair that damage
You reckon?
Absolutely brilliant footage mate, you could really see what had gone on 👍
Really interesting video and good luck to everyone who has the task of repairing this.
Wow I feel like DJ is a professional now
Amazing when you think canals were built by hand over 200 years ago. Hopefully this will be fixed asap
It had another breach back in 1971 and reopened 1973. The pics from 1971 do seem to show it was just as severe.
@@Mr-Steam Especially with the puddling undercut
That will take them 1 month or 1 year to fix.

@@ianturpin9180 But the towpaths, embankments and locks bridges are not.
@Daimler-b6h there are no locks on the Bridgewater canal. Period.
So right it fxxxxxxx stinks and this shit is what we have to deal with, imagine the lives its ruining 😢😢😢😢
Love love watching your videos Dudey honest hope you had a fab Christmas x
What a gorgeous and friendly cat. Great video.
Brilliantly filmed. Best footage yet with excellent choice of good music. Thank you so much.
You are welcome 🙏
FAR CANAL!!!!
Top video Dan, exceptional drone footage aswell 👏🏽
Unbelievable damage great drone footage dan happy new year cheers
Great work. Doubt that will ever be fixed real shame

Timperley got flooded too, you can see some pics at the Altrincham Today website if you'd like to float down memory lane ;-)
@@terrasoar9548thank you for this info…….I will have a look for those pictures……J
These are becoming increasing strange time we live in, you managed to do a video without having a row with someone! HNY :)
Tell you what bro I've followed you for a long while and you improve every day great footage Dan keep up the great work respect bro (GARBO)
The gentleman made good sense using drone footage over several days to create a model.
Goodness me, what a mess. How the devil are they gonna fix that ? 😮 Great footage Dan 👍🏻
The power of water is incredible.
Great footage Dan 👍🏼
Bloodyhell that’s gonna be one BIG job to fix
Perfect for magnet fishing now

They have tried to to block off both ends, but unsuccessful as of now.
What a mess & great drone footage
Love that drone footage mate! Do you still use the little mini in these kind of places or you got one of the bigger ones?
Used to live next to the Bridgwater canal in Altrincham in the 90’s……never seen such flood damage like this before

Morning. How will they fix that and when ?
It will take years to fix. I think it's the largest breach of a canal certainly in living memory.
There is a chance it may just be abandoned
Canals sadly aren't a government priority or of any interest to them , so it will take years to fix if ever.
@markwoodward881 it's privately owned by the peel group so it'll come down to if they think they can still make a profit from the canal after a major expense
How would they even get to the breach with machines to repair?will be a nightmare to repair
A hell of a lot of money. And even more hard work over about 2 years maybe longer
Proper citizen journalism.
Great video! Good to see something different

Can't fill it up without lining it, although a temporary fill may be used just to get the stranded boats out.
Canals all have naturally systems for filling them up. They would go dry otherwise.
@@rogerkangaroo6118 Basingstoke canal had at least one coal powered pumping station
My neck of the woods, they have blocked the Canal further back but i think it maybe flowing to relieve flood water from the Deluge of Rain we had
Thank you for doing this sweety. The Bridgewater canal was part of my history class at school, along with the Stockton to Darlington railway
I pray they fix it 🙏🏻
Great video 👏😉 going to take a long time and money to fix that ,,it's a big if ,, love your videos 📹 😀

Is this a personal opinion, or one given in your official role as head of The Minsitry for Stating the Bloody Obvious?
Peel Holdings (owner's of the canal) think the Bollin flooding bellow the canal weakened the embankment causing it to collapse and cause the canal breach
repaired in 71 but this is bigger?
Excellent drone footage 👌 that's going to take time to fix 😢
The poor people living on them boats stranded 😢
they are now living on solid ground 😞
The breach site can be dammed off and those unfortunate boats can be re-floated. To repair the breach will be a huge civil engineering project.
They will probably have to be craned out & moved to another canal.
One of them is a RUclipsr that streams their travels. They have videos of the night it happened and the chaos of their boats slowly getting lower and lower and trying to keep it from capsizing.

Awesome footage mate. Good to see your journalistic nose leading you as always 🕵️♂️
There was a similar, catastrophic canal breach in Falkirk in August 2020 and that canal was reopened less than a year later in April 2021.
Brilliant footage, Thanks Dan
You do a great all round job well done m8 love all your videos
Great footage. Cheers!
That's crazy, great footage
Great video
Oh lastly very professional drone footage 😊😊😊
Thanks for an informative video. We live about five miles away.
Free kitty content my day is made ❤❤❤❤
good job trying to fix that one
Wow that's major. It'll take years to fix.
happened before in the 1970`s. That`s when they put the metal sides in place that have collapsed so I heard.
I'm reading alot of comments saying big repairs ect, they won't repair it
They have to,, its a major flood
@freedomforall7003 it will come down to whether the owners "the peel group" believe they cam still make the canal profitable after what will be a costly repair

All the wildlife affected too. Such a shame.
You’re on it you brother ! That whip must Fly 😂 awesome video
Lots of available clay from hs2 , could have that open by the summer if they really want to easily
YES this is a good post THANK YOU
The excitement in the rural folk with this canal collapse lol
Just picture the discussions they will all be having for years to come sitting with their afternoon T
Spiffing🤣
How do you look at a canal with water in it and say it’s totally empty🤔
How many years will it take them to fix ?
1 year if we use the foreign aid money, if not at least 10.

It's privately owned, so, likely never. They'll just fill it in.

How do you even start to fix that??
it wont get fixed
Fantastic footage and so nice to not see any jumped "not allowed" bafoons.
Dj please do drone footage of durham cathedral il love 5he way tou do it
The cranes and boards safety measure have always been there I would think since the canal was built , if not , as long as I can remember and I'm 75 , I live close to the canal and if you see them up close you will see they are very old
Horrific damage. I hope no one looses their life. Water terrifies me.
I had a feeling that you would be on your way to see this.
Water that we desperately need in Portugal!!
Ask peel holdings they will probably sell it to you 😊
What good pillow take this old couple must have 😂
I disagree with a lot of your videos but this one of your best this is what most people want to see at people arguing all the time
Not
I disagree. The people. ‘arguing’ are being educated!
Epic fly 🎉
Those people are stupid standing so close to the edge, could collapse suddenly.
How much do we spend on foreign aid and what is it used for?
Great journalism Dan!
MAN AND WOMAN ARE VERY NICE. Very informative. but did he say it was his job to work on the bridge or canal?
There are locks on the canal at the Barton aqueduct swing bridge!
Caused no doubt by lack of investment. Private owned. It will never get fixed. No profit in it for owners.
This is going to take years
If I remember the bridge u walked under at start of the video collapsed too about 10 years ago
It’s crazy to see this, How will they compensate the people whose boards are now stuck there??
Do you get compesated when stuck in traffic on the roads?
What the heck. The power of water
Fantastic drone footage. Thank you
i up the road from here and guess its going to be closed for over 1 year or 2
Never seen this before
Looks like old, work ING,,mines in, that area, need council,it, looks mes
Be yrs before anything is done ,,,took them over 2 yrs here in Scotland to mend a small bridge ,,damaged in the 2005 flood 😮
Only took 9 months to repair a similar breach a few miles down the road.
Was hoping you’d come up here.
Apparently owned by Peel Holdings. Last breached in 1971.
That's gonna cost the Peel group a few quid to repair
They are not short of a few quid. A similar breach about 10 years ago a few miles away cost about £2mill
Useless Georgian era engineers. They really dropped the ball on this one.
I hope someone does a proper investigation into this because something isn't right about it
