Most retarding-force actions have now been exploited into ‘energy’ saving or regeneration systems.

Ive crossed this brigde multiple times when headed to my grandparents , when earthquakes hit , you dont feel anything , but when the wind blows it is scary crossing that bridge , ESPECIALLY in a bus ... Buses tend to come to a full stop and turn in an angle when winds are at their peak speeds that can scare people who arent used to it . I was a child when this was finished but the amount of joy this structure brought to all Greeks is insane . Firstly it really helped with travelfor people who for their own reasons do not want to touch boats and also it was one of the most spoken builds of its time so a lot of fame was brought to it even if the Olympics were to be held in Greece at the time .

"That is the feeling of engineering." So true! I feel I was never able to adequately explain the immense satisfaction in designing something, and later seeing it work as intended. I wish everyone could have that feeling at least once in their lives. As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing more human. Do you think a cow, dog, or cat ever had the feeling of engineering? Perhaps, I shall direct ppl to this vid next time I need to explain. People say nature does not seem as wondrous after you learn how works. Those people are deeply mistaken. Knowing how this bridge works only adds to its (aesthetic) beauty. By knowing how it works, you touch the bridge not with your eyes, but with your mind, an incredibly deep connection.

There is no such thing as EQ proof. They can only tell it will resist upto 7.4 or something. There is no known limit to the size of an EQ so saying anything is EQ proof is a lie. The same thing goes for "bullet proof" nothing is really bullet proof. they are rated for specific size bullets. So those are also Bullet Resistant.

You're right, eq proof is not that scientific but that's kinda ok for a documentary in this level.

But "practically earthquake proof" isn't rigorously "earthquake proof", right?

You likely don't live in an earthquake prone region of the world -- and frankly, you're lucky if that's the case! Greece experiences a heck a lot of earthquakes every day, and every so often we get really big ones. There really is nothing as EQ "proof", only resistant. Nothing can completely negate the power of these quakes and the best you can do is get as resistant as you can and pray.

Defo nothing is a 100% earthquake proof so yes "resistant" would be a far better accurate description.

The bridge looks stunning and strong, and it is a great video to learn how it built 👍
