Historic Bridge Collapses - Massive Engineering Mistakes - Engineering Documentary

Sometimes when you're in a dark place, you think you have been buried. But you've actually been planted

[@drfranks1158]

This made for tv format of 10-15 min of information drawn out in a repetitive slog 3x longer (4x when commercials are added) is why we ditched TV.

In Naples, the entire city and surrounding area is riddled with volcanic cones and calderas. It appears now, that Campi Flegrei, a large caldera in the western part of the city, is showing signs of unrest and possible eruption. There are residential and commercial areas within the crater and a substantial population that is at risk. Typical of Italian cities, the streets are not designed to carry large volumes of traffic to the main highways. Evacuation will be difficult unless the authorities begin soon and permanently relocate the people to safer areas. Whether the Italian authorities have the will and the foresight to do that and whether the volcano will allow them to have the time remains to be seen.

Dear Pennsylvania. winters are bad. water/flooding/ice is powerful. - YT. Michigan.

Prison for incompetent Engineers!

The walnut street bridge was closed to vehicular traffic after damage from the 1972 flood after that the west shore no longer maintained their side

[@gazman50s]

so what was the underground room that collapsed

[@Chevaucheese]

Does this still hold up?

[@SmartStructuresTV]

These engineering documentaries sound like they're gonna be a real nail-biter... or maybe a rivet-loosener? Here's hoping they don't give me nightmares about my next commute over the local bridge! 🌉😨 Also, side note: can we talk about the dramatic music these channels always use? Like, a bridge collapsing is pretty dramatic on its own, thanks.

I Never Thought explains the error

Can you imagine how pissed you would be if you woke up dead to realize that you had died just doing your regular ass job? Not risky behavior, not doing some dangerous hobby that you knew was dangerous but made you feel alive and excited, not even some drunk driver to haunt into suicide. You just went to work one day with millions of other people but you didn't get to go home. You'd better believe I'm finding someone to blame and torment, if I leave this world quietly I'm showing up screaming to the next!

18:38 Hey, my eyes are down here! 😅

[@CajunShrek]

Ppl who is "surprised" by power of water apparently hasn't seen or read about destruction of hurricane season

[@ChuckyMcNubbin72]

What happened to the contractors of the building that collapsed at Brighton Beach? Was anyone charged? Was anyone jailed? Another question: wree the workers experienced enough to work on that building and, if so, why did no one question the construction directions?

[@cammos]

I find it hard to believe a hose being connected ti the buildi g had anything to do with it booms only go so far then u have to go pump n pipe!!

[@AngelWJedi]

So if one screw is bad and two is good. then would 3 or more be even better or worse?

[@georgestone1485]

Who would have thought a bridge, made of steel, would possibly collapse after 100 yrs??? The bridge was extremely lucky to stay standing, even though rust should have been considered, along with foundational weakness!! You build a bridge and sooner or later mama nature will knock it down!!

[@JohnnyBean78]

My question is, why would they build another city on top of the old by a very "angry" volcano to begin with? If it becomes "angry" again and they can't evacuate in time, many more people will lose their lives and destroy yet another city. Everyone will be left to blame, not just the city or state officials.

[@johnhanson1st]

Nearly all big cities are built in areas at risk to nature. Many are built on shores of water or at the confluence of waterways and silt in historic floodways. It is all about transportation and natural resources. The vast majority of modern humans don’t even contemplate the risk level in the places where they live. Why does anyone live in Florida when it gets hit by hurricanes every year or in the Mississippi Rv regions where houses and re-built houses get washed away by floods regularly? The chance of a volcano destroying one’s home has to be tiny compared to natural and human-made threats.

Severe weather in 1996. When’s the next weather crisis?

[@davidroth4514]

Thay sold pieces of the bridge to raise money to rebuild the bridge . But they never replace it ! I don't know what thay did with the money ?

[@CamCrazy5-92]

Caused by Mother Nature? Or by excessive human exploitation? Don't confuse concepts.

Obviously it was "they".
