- A 66,000-pound fuel tank the size of half a football field was transported 16 miles across Los Angeles Saturday. The fuel tank will eventually be displayed inside the California Space Center. Teri Okita has more.
That will be a fat check for that trucker ❤️
Not really the fat check goes to his boss then he get a little cut
Putin
cost 3 million dollars to move it.
hax0rman1337 my dad paid 5k to start his private company, bought his own truck and trailer, and makes 156k a year
More like the entire team of truckers and security officers.
I thought it crashed down on la
RIP LA
Same lol
Me too I was like holy $***
oh yeah yeah
OH YEAH YEAH
"why did you come late?"
"oh a 66000 pound fuel tank fell"
I was expecting to be clickbaited.
Cassini Jr. New to youtube huh?
To be fair I know a lot about space exploration so I expected this to be real
It's a 1:41 video, if they even wanted to do clickbait, they would make a 10 minutes video just to tell that at the end

Its crazy how big these things are when they aren't on the launch pad. Truly a marvel of modern manufacturing and transport

yeah, if it *explodes*

Some married women ordered this from Amazon, too bad she wasn't an Amazon Prime member. It would be delivered within 1 day.

@@davidpaul8039 or might cuz of the truck was to small
Not a fuel “cell”. This is a TANK. (Technically, it’s two tanks - one for liquid oxygen, the other for liquid hydrogen)
It is called ET for "external tank". Space shuttle had 3 fuel cells, but they were inside the orbiter. Fuel cells were meant for making energy from cryogenic oxygen and hydrogen also creating water in the process. Journalists however are very unaware of the correct naming of the stuff. They always seems to mess everything up. Never give a Space Shuttle to a journalist ;-)
Imagine if this was today..
I can't even imagine in how many ways, it cud have gone wrong.
Yes it would've gone BOOM
could*
It's empty tho
@@shadowzz2623 no it's empty lmao
Still not possible for people to manage to get away with something that size i mean 66 thousand pounds you realize how much poeple it would take to carry that
Launch it again and this time. Put the people that believe the Earth is flat.
No, those people need to just die, they don't even deserve our attention let alone our effort in proving basic facts.
@@4gbmeans4gb61 the earth isnt flat but its not perfectly round either.
4GB MEANS 4GB exactly, give them to space x make them go to mars so they can die when one finally lives we send the rest of the planet there and leav the flat earthers on earth
@@zakiry8634 HAHA good idea.
@@MannyBiship Oh for sure, from tidal forces and im pretty sure it has a giant crater in it and its more oval then round.
I like how she says it’s the size of half a football field then puts it next to a football field yea I think that’s much smaller than u think
There is a difference between a football _field_ and a football _stadium._
The actual field on that shot is much, much smaller than the entire stadium.
Smh they mean the pitch not including the seats
she said a football field not a freaking stadium lol
Robbie Howe I wasn’t talking about the seats I was talking about the field
hey, she dumb bye
It’s gonna blow people away 🤔😹😂😭

A fuel cell produces power. This is a fuel tank (specifically the shuttle external fuel tank), which holds fuel. Get it together!
Nathaniel Roman they’re from California they can’t get it right
I believe the engine is what pro produces power. A fuel cell is just something that holds fuel similar to a tank but not quite a tank
According to wikipedia:
In some areas, an aircraft's fuel tank is also referred to as an aircraft fuel cell.
I also feel it's improper terminology. Especially because the space shuttle has power generating fuel cells.
@@Strewgle it's a tank. A tank holds fuel. Fuel cells convert fuel into electricity

Title is WRONG! It's a fuel TANK!
No it's the external tank

Imagine when you wake up and see this thing moving across 😂😂
That massive fuel cell travelled like a king.
Did any of you guys that went to school in 2012 watch the space shuttle fly over Los Angeles I still have that memory in my head from kindergarten.
Boss: where are you, you know you are getting late for the meeting

@@toasterstore8031 actually i copied this comment from a video in which instead of fuel cell they were transporting space shuttle in the same manner
fuel cell? those things in the payload bay of the orbiter?
its called the external tank, or fuel tank.
@@someidiot4311 just go and study the basic parts of space shuttle mr know it all
@@fpshimanshuyadav171 sure thing. after 10 seconds of "studying", i found out what the fuel cells are! nasa.gov states
" Fuel cells are used in the space shuttle as one component of the electrical power system. Three fuel cell power plants, through a chemical reaction, generate all of the electrical power for the vehicle from launch through landing rollout.
Before launch, electrical power is provided by ground power supplies and the onboard fuel cell power plants. Each fuel cell power plant consists of a power section, where the chemical reaction occurs, and a compact accessory section attached to the power section, which controls and monitors the power section's performance.
The three fuel cell power plants are individually coupled to the reactant (hydrogen and oxygen) distribution subsystem, the heat rejection subsystem, the potable water storage subsystem, and the electrical power distribution and control subsystem. The fuel cell power plants generate heat and water as by-products of electrical power generation.
The excess heat is directed to fuel cell heat exchangers, where the excess heat is rejected to Freon coolant loops. The water is directed to the potable water storage subsystem."
to me, that looks like fuel cells are for electricity generation, not for powering the RS-25 engines.
This video made me picture ants carrying a water bottle back to their nest.
Yes, this comment is deep.
We are ants.
i remember seeing this in 2012-2013 around there and then seeing it again. it was so damn cool
I laughed out loud when they measured it in football fields
MURICA 🦅🇺🇸
Fun fact: They stopped an sinclar on the way to California Space center so that they could fill up at a discount before they continued on their way.
Legend says there still transporting it till this day, the estimated arrival, is in 2022.
I never knew fuel *cells* were so big...
Lol that's not a fuel cell, it's the tank.
If you already knew that and were just joking, forget everything I said

Of course she compared it to a football field xD

I remember being in first grade at school seeing this all the kid’s were out on the field
anyone get this randomly recommended ?
That truck must have some serious torque
This IS NOT the fuel cell, this is the center tank which will be filled with hydrolox and powers the shuttle's three rockets. The shuttle has 3 fuel cells for "power" and 3 APU's for hyraulics. Does anybody know that the space shuttle weighs 4.4 million lbs. A fully loaded hercules c-130 weighs "less" than just the center tank.
*THANK YOU!!!*
Fuel cell... who’d call this a fuel cell...
@Mr Sunshines If people were thinking that way when they built the Space Shuttle, it would have had much bigger problems.
@Mr Sunshines They still have a responsibility to report the facts.

it looks small but when you see this you realize how big it is
Whoever wrote the title, earned himself a slap in the face
Ha fuel cell
Could you imagine if it was though
What’s so wrong with the title?
Darius R its a fuel tank, not a fuel cell. Those are vastly different thing s
Buzzmas that’s strange, I suppose it’s different in rocketry, but in motorsports the only difference is that fuel cells are custom-built fuel tanks that can withstand high-level impacts whereas fuel tanks are just factory tanks
Till today I don’t see the space shuttle and the propeller on display?
From the thumbnail, it looks like it crashed on the road.
It’s the size of half a football field

The shuttle is so nice looking.
That just shows how big those rockets and shuttles are. From a distance and on video they don't look to big but in reality they're huge. I saw that massive shuttle a while ago and it seems a lot bigger in person. Same with planes. There's a museum at an old airport in my city and the propellers seem massive and the actual plane is super chunky.
Can't believe I am just seeing this in 2021!
Scrolled down the comment list and thank god no disgusting jokes
Sorry, looks like you're early. Look up.
hey pls shut up pls
To space giants we must look like ants moving an enormous sausage
They are brave for driving over the bridge
The supports are thick enough and based on where they're placed there few weak points, also the tank was empty which makes it VERY light

It's been a year since 2019, and the fuel tank and space shuttle are still on the floor. Maybe the idea to make them vertical was scrapped.
But it is cool to be able to walk around the shuttle
