7 Most Incredible Transpotration Operations of All Time

Subscribe ► goo.gl/WPKt5w
For as long as mankind has existed, so has the need for transportation. Before our ancestors had even invented the wheel, we used sticks and animal skins to make primitive stretchers, helping us to carry loads from place to place in a way that would be impossible to achieve by hands alone. As we’ve evolved, so has our ability to build. The superstructures we build today can be hundreds of feet wide or long, and weigh thousands of tonnes. As the load gets bigger, the means of transportation become more sophisticated, more innovative, and more exciting. Today we’re looking at seven of the most incredible transportation achievements of all time.

I know it’s not a single object, but something that always seems to be overlooked when compilations like this are made are trains. I work for BNSF railway in the U.S.A, and a couple of weeks ago I had to work on a train that was over 16,000 feet long and weighed over 18,000 tons. Trains like this transport goods across the United States every day and travel at speeds up to 70 mph! Not sure what the longest or heaviest train was or who holds the record but it would interesting if someone could make a video about it.

[@kimhohlmayer7018]

Enjoy your channel hugely!!! Do a list on famous old strip mining shovels. Sounds crazy but they were amazing, fascinating machines. They even had their own names like the Gem of Egypt. To move them across roads often meant closing the road to traffic then replacing the pavement after the move. The shovel was so heavy it tore up the road surface!

[@CastilloDelDiablo]

I have witnessed SPMT move a 110T transformer around a right angle corner that was no more than 15 ft, it took a lot of time but they did it 4 times over a period of weeks as one transformer was removed and a new one installed. I worked in Antwerp on the two substation rigs for the London Windfarm Array and they were lifted by SPMT's onto a barge. They had to be transported to the Thames Estuary where they were connected to the turbines which transmitted 33KV to the substation which then upped it to 150KV. Each platform is 20x20x22mt and weighed 1250T, when they arrived at their destination a floating crane lifted them onto the monopile.

[@rb3060]

It is impressive those wings are huge and specially on the curves those curves are very narrowed compared to the turbine wings ive never seen that done in real live but the videos ive seen are crazy they take awhile just to make turns and they have to be careful on doing those turns they have to stop and make sure every foot they accomplish is safe and at the same position that they left everything on

[@edgmp]

Not sure what we are arguing about. As a sailor who has sailed around the world, I was taught that in the old days they would throw a flout over board that was attached to a rope that had precisely spaced knots. By counting how many knots played out in a given amount of time they could do the math to calculate nautical miles per hour ( speed through water also today thru air ). If you know your nautical miles per hour and use a timer you can calculate distance traveled . Over time nautical miles per hour just got shortened to knot, a measure of speed . not acceleration or distance. ( now my head hurts ) :)

[@mystikmind2005]

Speed through water is correct, but Geezuz, that would be a horrendously inaccurate way of calculating 'distance traveled'.... especially in the age of sail where ocean currents can be just as fast or even faster than your ship!!! Are you sure your even a sailor???

i don't know why I'm saying this because i'm not Einstein but, nuclear energy is not harmful to the environment, unless their was an accident at the plant. If you wanted to compare, coal and gas are harmful to not only the environment AND takes away an enormous amount of our resources, but the way of extracting coal and gas is extremely dangerous. The plants require a lot of man work and when their is heavy lifting their is death so I just wanted to say that. have a nice day. :)

[@BestPlconEarth50]

Oh your hitting the nail right on the head. Nuclear power the green energy. Uhh that means everything surrounding the bitch after this said accident is glow in the dark green. Lets take a look at Fukishima Daichi for example. That is what you call a doomsday extinction level event. Don't believe me? Take your ass on over to google and look up how governing bodies are raising the envelope of how much radiation is "safe" or acceptable for the human to be exposed too. Thanks for not telling us Obama. The fact is that shit will never be cleaned up to the point that its not contaminating the pacific ocean, ever. THe reactors have melted so far down into the earth nobody knows where they are at in fact they don't have the technology to go in the building and safely look down the holes. My prediction is within the millennial generation humanity will start to see the effects which are horrible. The reason it will extinct the human race is birth defects and deformities! Imagine that can't have a kid that not so fucked up it won't be a still birth or live 10 days out the woom. On a second note, Nuclear clean green power was introduced to provide power as a secondary the primary reason we were force fed nuclear power plants is all about people wanting to destroy each other. For instance to make a large deliverable nuclear weapon one can not use uranium as it is too heavy whats needed is plutonium. The plutonium is a byproduct of a nuclear reaction and can only be collected from a reactor. And each reactor produces a tiny amount of plutonium. So in our quest to make a bunch of really big bangs we ended up banging ourselves the fuck outta existence. CHeers Mate.

[@gambaroja7813]

@@BestPlconEarth50 I can see the points that you are making, and they are all correct. I just wanted to say that we need to experiment. Nuclear energy could be a lot better in many ways, but we have to invest to see the outcome that we want. In the end either way if the don;t get our crap together we will all die anyways. I am glad you put your perspective, because conversation sparks change, and that is what we need in our world at this time. Thanks for your time and words.
