Howard Hughes inherited from his father and uncle, a business which developed, first, the rotating , triple head rock drill that revolutionised water, gas, and oil recovery. They leased them and further developed that. When he flew around the world he flew into the USSR without permission. He was worth more than that entire country.

@Ver Pacas, the main title that is advertised on the site (You Tube) that I was introduced to, spoke of large/long trains.... So there it is, something for all interests.... But this documentary program definitely delivered what it promised, large things that move objects.... One thing that was here, but probably should have been featured on an automotive program, is the Mercedes Sprinter van... My guess is the producers of this documentary gave MB a plug, because maybe they provided healthy funding for this program... That's fine.... That is how it is able to be shown for no charge.... But over-all, this was an intensely interesting program that gave some really cool footage and narration...👍

In 1996 I rode on an Amtrak train from Tampa, FL to Allentown, PA and back. The ride to Allentown was very nice and uneventful, but as my mother and I were traveling back to Tampa (while we were eating dinner in the dining car) our train was forced to lock up the brakes due to a father and his young daughter fishing off of a very small train bridge that was about 5' tall and 10' long with signs everywhere that said no trespassing, but the father chose to risk multiple people's lives to fish off of it and we had to evacuate the train because the crew feared that the rear cars had derailed. I don't honestly remember where that was, but I remember the police showing up and questioning everyone who was around at the time. My mom has always been afraid of heights, that's why we took the train...good choice Mom! 🤣🤣🤣

Please learn the difference between these transport systems before attempting to discuss them. Next, the video discusses aircraft carriers, which are also not cargo trains. The video discusses the HMS Illustrious carrier commissioned on 20 June 1982. It states that this was the last operational carrier in the Royal Navy, which 8is not true.

I saw a video about a land train sometime that failed. It's interesting that the mining companies only use road trains that are about 10 meters longer. I guess the legal limit is kinda close to the practical limit.

[@michaelmartinez1345]

@Anthony Pearce, yes there are definitely limits to length and weights to 'Road Trains' as they are called here.... Those limits vary between areas they are expected to operate.... Even in certain private properties, like mines, there are limits how large & heavy that equipment can be... In the U.S. , the MSHA will designate what those limits are.... Just saying, not all places can accommodate equipment of this size & weight.... It is very specific of where this type of equipment can operate, except maybe, for the MB 'Sprinter' vans that were mentioned here....

What's new? Well, the news is that now Germany plans to do away with all coal fired power plants by 2030! So, I wonder what the future holds for those by-then abandoned coal pits!

Overall a half-decent video but contains a number of glaring inaccuracies which serve to undermine it. Moreover, at 3 minutes and 10 seconds, the introduction is way too long for a 58-minute presentation. "The Royal British Navy"? Really!. It is fully "Her Britannic Majesty's Royal Navy" generally contracted to "Royal Navy." Moreover, I was serving at Ascension Island and then the Falklands in 1982. I was still in high school in 1976. The only 'war' of sorts that Britain was engaged in during 1976 was the so-called "Cod War 3" with Iceland.

Being so flipping cold and wet seems a bit pointless when the fun had finished 6-yrs earlier! Joking aside, this is one seriously bad, inaccurate video. Doesn’t anyone bother to check/proof read/watch their video’s before uploading them?

@@martindesrocher4528 The thing you’re describing sounds an awful lot like the film “Idiocracy”, but instead of it being a humorous film, it’s now looking like a prescient documentary. I don’t know what your feelings are regarding the times when Jay Leno used to ambush members of the public with simple questions which 90% were wrong, or the times when he or someone similar would ask people in the street whether they’d heard about some completely made up fictitious story and they’d heard about it or knew what it meant. Again they were totally gullible/wrong 99/100 and that’s scary. Whether they’ve just shown all the wrong ones and less of the right ones to prove the claim isn’t known. At my age, 61, as a retired Royal Marine (1978-2008) I’m quite concerned that the youth of today are becoming dumber by the minute - and I won’t start on about their inability to do simple mathematics such as arithmetic.
