2:36 Grady Hillhouse from practical engineering?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!!?!?! Dude that was so unexpected, its like seeing your teacher at the grocery store.

[@Emily_M81]

he's in a lot of these :D

[@grant9301]

Traveled the West Gate Bridge many times in my hometown. My dad used to be a tour coach driver and would always remind any people on the journeys of the collapse as they approached the actual span that collapsed on the very tall bridge!

[@damienberry7679]

Those colour photos of the West gate under construction are images I’ve never seen before. That alone makes this video well worth watching.

[@republicofluckteinburgpres1385]

yes

[@petergerdes1094]

It's so weird to go watch these and see Grady from practical engineering.

[@dlyle]

hahahah i thought that too lol

[@bobstuart2638]

The Latchford bridge is an arch, but it rests on abutments that take the lateral load, rather than using a roadway under tension to "tie" it together.

[@jollygoode4153]

My grandfather took me to the Westgate bridge many times after it collapsed, before it was rebuilt. He knew some of the 35, he would go there to remember them.

[@christhorney]

my grandpa was a crane operator on the westgate bridge, it was the largest crane in the southern hemisphere at the time. he was supposed to be working when the bridge fell but he had swapped some shifts with his work mate because his work mate had some family stuff on, and the guy died in the fall. 3 months later after pulling all his mates out of the water and staying on the job without a break, my grandpa had his first of 3 heart attacks that he had during his life. he was only in his 40s when he was building that bridge

Melbourne has lovely people. But a crappy beach! But, such a cosmopolitan city. I love visiting this city when in Australia. Visitors to Australia generally want to go to Sydney, but, Melbourne is better if you can spend time with the locals. If you're just a tourist, then go to Sydney on your package tour. If you're a traveler then go to Melbourne & get invited to at least one party, which will be a blast.

[@davidrobyn1532]

Of the hundreds of white sand beaches around Melbourne what is the crappy one?

[@melissasueh.]

Hydraulic Fracturing (fracking)is used in most gas fields and some oil fields. It has been known that wastewater injection wells can cause earthquakes for a long time, but the earlier wells were for sewage disposal and few in number. So, the effect was noted, but it was not thought to be a problem. Some of them were eventually used for fracking water disposal until the Pawnee earthquake happened and changed everything.

[@gandydancer9710]

Everything has changed? In what universe?

[@elainelott9644]

Very interesting video !!! The engineering marvels are very amazing !!! I learned a lot !!!

[@skbthoughtslearneveryday5579]

I would like to know what's the dia of those steel hangers & bolts in arch bridge

[@Bobrogers99]

Because each bridge is unique, perhaps it takes a failure or collapse to show what parts need to be inspected carefully. And then it's too late.

[@Emily_M81]

I got to see the Corvette Museum before this happened :(

[@richardmorrison2686]

Well done , just enough information

[@patmcbride9853]

Came to see the bridge collapse, saw car garage collapse. Voted video down.

[@NjK601]

Wasn't that bridge on an earlier episode? For a different reason

[@goedelite]

When I was growing up in Brooklyn, N.Y., I felt deprived because my father did not have a car. When I was mature, I realized we had something much better, subway. For 10 cents, I was able to ride from Brooklyn's Boro Park to the Bronx Zoo or Yankee Stadium comfortably, if not in rush-hours. Most cities of the US lacked such transportation, thanks to a General who became President of the United States to end the Korean War. He entered the White House in January of 1953. It took him until late in 1954 to reach a truce with Kim Il Sung. We never reached a peace treaty with N. Korea. All we have is the truce! We are fast to go to war, but on a slow train to reach a peace! Did God Bless Americans ?

[@gandydancer9710]

You're blaming Eisenhower and the US for the fact that North Korea hasn't signed on any dotted lines? And for a lack of US subways? That doesn't make any sense.

[@walterwilliams4354]

They were just cars. NO big deal!

[@m.moolhuysen5456]

Why did commercial traffic need special permits when the detour crossed over into another Canadian province? That seems an overly restrictive regulation to me, did it have something to do with the bilingual laws?

[@alantorrance6153]

Best way to avoid bridge collapses, is NOT to go on them or under them.

[@joakimportnoff1093]

It's like hiring an high schooler to do the Brookline Bridge ??? and doing several hundred's of millions to do an new bridge. And break down.

[@joakimportnoff1093]

I'm guessing the common people who is buying that extension is overwhelmed it cost like 3 or maybe 5 times what the community said..

[@anthonygallagher1397]

The floor looks flimsy,no rebar etc, or is it wooden.

[@gandydancer9710]

The explanation for the Melbourne bridge collapse made here is completely inadequate and confusing. I found a better explanation on the Brendan Hasty channel, "Westgate Bridge collapse how and why it happened 50 years on". That video is less polished, but it has much more detail and makes much more sense.

[@-Katastrophe]

Oh, this wasn't an official channel. welp! not my fault.

[@christinechurch8181]

Mistake calling it a synague, or a place of worship, when will people learn?

[@joakimportnoff1093]

Don't engineering still not know how to calculate slightest tremors and add +20% or so to make it safe or to hold when holding is concerned use 100% extra so no human life goes the way of the mayfly...

[@curvebuster]

😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@willdwyer6782]

Bullshit. The Crosley Hotshot made its debut 4 years before the Corvette, making it America's first sports car.

[@gandydancer9710]

Wikipedia: The first known use of ["sports car"} in the United States was in 1928.[9] Sports cars started to become popular during the 1920s.[12]" So, no, the Crosley (1951) wasn't the first, either.

[@rocketamadeus3730]

Hm, another guy saying "It's stranger than fiction" just like the oil spill guy. Kinda sus.

[@qbi4614]

boring i don't need to know the way people feel

[@Crazy--Clown]

Happens in China on a weekly basis

[@ronski499]

Clickbait.

[@joakimportnoff1093]

Need to say i love the Americans not the government.. of their country..

[@lengould9262]

But, but ... but ... GOVERNMENT REGULATION!!! Doesn't that just cause problems, not fix them? 😅😅😅

[@joakimportnoff1093]

USE FUNKING COMON KNOWLAGE AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW IT, LEARN!!!

[@gandydancer9710]

Learn to not type in all-caps. No one with any funking common sense does that.

[@GertjanZwiggelaar-mo4tz]

The Corvette museum was designed by a grade 9 student for a shop project methinks. What a total piece of 'architectural crap'. Ugly, and poorly designed.
