Sweden Stadium Collapse Chaos - Massive Engineering Mistakes - Engineering Documentary

[@Robert08010]

A whole 45 minutes of video with about 5-10 minutes of worthwhile content.

[@sarnobat2000]

thanks for saving me the trouble. I was only interested in the stadium.

[@georgevavoulis4758]

Typical useless CLICKBAIT BS

[@1trschaefer78]

Agreed. Big disappointment

[@hansdegroot652]

Yeah it did not colapse did it?

[@jorgevillavicencio427]

@Robert08010 indeed! After the first sequence of the crane crashing on the bridge being referred to as a catastrophe I just fast forward to the juicier parts.

[@j.a.n.7519]

"Sweden Stadium Collapse Chaos" -- bogus headline. No collapse. No chaos. I don't know about anyone else, but when a channel uses false, sensationalist headlines as bait, I take them off my list.

[@bohviden6430]

I was at the famous Springsteen concert in 1985 on the field jumping but did not realize that the whole stadium was moving. Anyways Springsteen have been back 10 times after that and the stadium is still there maybe because the fans are so much older that we cant jump so much anymore. There is another fotballstadium close by that can take aprox 18000 people and during the first season the crowd was jumping so much that the city center was vibrating and they had to do similar concrete reinforcements on that stadium.

[@Robert08010]

This reminds me of those quick clay landslides and seeing several hundred acres of land just start moving side ways until they emptied themselves into a nearby lake. One of the key triggers was vibration. Can you imagine if that happened in a city center?

[@williesnyder2899]

Very informative!! Thanks!!

[@kevinducharme1263]

Bruce Springsteen; yeah, we were really rockin' the house in Gothenburg. Gothenburg civil engineer; you have NO idea how true that statement is...

Typical of the Americans to repeat what had been just said - as if we are stupid idiots. I hope the vast majority of Americans are *not* stupid.

[@larrysorenson4789]

We were in the stadium when the California Angles won the division pennant. Even at the start of the game no one was sitting down. As the game neared the end and the win was assured the crowd went wild. I noticed the movement in the upper deck of seating. It was going up and down rhythmically, just as described here. I estimated that the edge of the structure was moving around ten inches. Earky in the game the movement was noted by facilities workers. A half hour later engineers, architects, fire department crews and many police were on site as the engineers analyzed the stresses. Ultimately they determined that while concerning, the movement was within the design perameters.

my dad, when he first got married (1948) lived in an apartment, landlord wanted an enteanaa sp to be taken down. It had four guide wires on it. He thought, 'well, i can clip one, that would be fine" (not) fell over, off the side of the house, and almost hit a neighbors brand new Packard, lol

[@angelachouinard4581]

A tribute to those who worked on the Tappan Zee that the crane collapse did no serious damage. Other crane collapses have brought down the whole show.

[@JohnnyBean78]

I enjoy these engineering docus. Keep posting these. Thank you for the videos.

[@davidanalyst671]

these arent engineering documentaries. Its "here is a disaster" and then "here are 4 people saying it is the worst disaster in history" nobody even explains what they did to fix the busted pipe. this is a bad documentray

[@patrickbuick5459]

Re Boston water pipe... Calgary had their main supply pipe burst earlier this year and just this past week, Montreal had the same. Yet, every one, they think they are unique.

[@jimmeade2976]

In the Texas tower collapse, the "creative" lifting mechanism was blamed, but loss of a single guy wire should not have collapsed the tower. It's hard to see in the video, but it looks like the current tower has more guy wires, providing redundancy that should have been part of the initial design.

[@d.l.d.l.8140]

The guy wire would have been out of sync with the rest of the guy wires as soon as the microwave unit started riding it down. The extra force could have overwhelmed the others, and things in motion have multiplied force when they contact resistance, in this case a guy wire perhaps made even more critical because of instructions to do the bare minimum number of supporting guy wires. Bean counters and greedy companies.

[@kevinducharme1263]

just thinking out loud here; as the tower section slid down that wire (which eventually broke, thus weakening the tension on that side) could it have loaded the wires on the opposite side of the tower, then when the load was released recoiled to the opposite side. or is this even plausible? kinda the same effect as the bridge pile ripping off the piling pipe maybe? maybe someone smarter than me can keep me honest here?

[@tntfreddan3138]

ABBA was one band with not a lot of influence, but a lot of success. The Stockholm Metal scene didn't evelolve much past its underground stage but has influenced a lot of other Death Metal bands to this day. On the east coast, their Death Metal was influenced by Thrash Metal (Slayer was one of the larger influences) and Hardcore Punk. Entombed, Dismember, Tiamat (formerly Treblinka), etc, were among the most successful bands, even if none of them ever became as widely known as most of its west coast counterparts. On the west coast, the Metal scene became HUGE. West coast Death Metal was more influenced by Black Metal, Symphonic/Melodic Metal and, funnily enough, Classical music and in some cases even Folk music. Gothenburg style Death Metal became known and Melodic Death Metal, oftened shortened to Melodeath. In America this type of Metal music is often called "Swedecore". Bands like In Flames, At the Gates, Soilwork, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquility, etc, all evolved past its underground stage and became known worldwide. At a relatively small festival in Gothenburg, In Flames played their biggest hit "Only for the Weak". The crowd started jumping so hard and in such good synch that it measured on the eartquake sensors

[@CB-fn3me]

At the 2017 Bruce Springsteen concert at Ullevi he asked the audience: 'Shall we test the repair of the stadium?' I worked at the show and was on the field. It bounced up and down about an inch but the stadium held up. Oh, You included that at the end. I'm in that picture at the stage left delay tower.

[@rocknrollnichole1071]

The fact that the field survived The Rolling Stones says everything I need to know.

[@d.l.d.l.8140]

At 34:00 the building in the background is blurred out. ? Now I’m curious.

[@Godsrocker1970]

So he engineers being civil. That's completely useless. Good job 👍

[@robinbinder8658]

35:35 anyone know why this building in the background is censored/pixelated out ??

[@Ksiaz]

I think it is (or at least, was) used by the police. I think it is where Gothenburg's passport office is/was. But why they censored it here, no idea...

[@kazuhikoriku]

​@Ksiaz if it was used by the police then its classified as a security objecy i believe whoch means its not allowed to be phorographed or videotaped, you can often find signs of it outside the stations

Why is there an entire building blurred in the Sweden piece? Very curious!

[@hampus.jerkfelt]

Its a police building, so thats why. They have to be blurred for "safety".

[@sagebrushalan]

I caught that too...very strange to see that in a video with no context

[@hampus.jerkfelt]

Its a police building. Sweden has a few weird laws about drone-footage, you aren't allowed to film police and military facilities for the countries "safety".

[@AsdfCableGuy]

I couldnt find the exact moment when it was blurred, but right next to ullevi is a police house, red brick building. That’s probably what’s blurred

[@JohnShields-xx1yk]

That pipe collar was way to thin with little bolts for that size pipe with that much pressure, I'm a Boston resident, you have to over engineer certain parts and that was one that was under engineered

[@PahatRout]

Hudson River is at the widest 5 km and nearest at 1.2 km near the "mouth". It isn't that wide for a the modern engineering to overcome.

[@Robert08010]

In the last story, I am curious why ONE building in the background had to be blurred out. So what if it is a police station. That's no reason to imagine you'll get in trouble for showing it.

[@cathythoman]

A lot of facts wrong, the Ullevi stadium was not collapsing and it was old. Also Gothenburg is not a small town as you mention, it is the biggest port of entire Scandinavia, it have no half million people as you said, the inner part is near 600000, but total in the metro there is around 1 million people.

[@htopherollem649]

the narrator's statement that the completed antenna stood as a tribute to the five men who died is disingenuous at best. the replacement antenna stood as a monument of capitalism, plain and simple.

[@mikes7639]

No greed and lack of common sense

[@cme98]

Capitalism didn’t build that bridge & no monument represents capitalism more in New York City than the NY Stock Exchange. The bridge represents socialism & how your social structure can use govt to cough up the funds they have been promising for years but were always short on funds to be committed. At least after all this time of struggling to build a project it was government (a form of socialism) who financed & contracted out to get the brumidhe started & completed. Calling that capitalism is soooo wrong & pathetic. The construction firm had to bid against others to land the project before a socialist committee awarded the firm work on the project. But that firm could lose their contract for multiple reasons. They got out easy here & most do.

[@cme98]

I have seen and worked over 1,000 + concerts in total and Bruce Springsteen was the only one I walked out of because it sucked ( DC Capital Center 1984 ) , I had 2 free tickets and was not working the show , I gave my used ticket and the unused one to 2 girls in the parking lot who went ape shit because they could not get tickets for the show , on my way home back to Baltimore I was "T Boned" by a jeep that ran a red light then took off after plowing me through a intersection , it was a hit and run leaving me in Washington DC with a totaled motorcycle and a lot of bruises .

[@cme98]

Trust me… Bruce Springsteen is a remarkable musician but sorry, he doesn’t “rock”, never has never will. 😩 Crane Collapse: out of all of the colors in all of our planet New York had to pick painting that bridge one of only 2 chauvinistic colors, “baby boy blue” which i call gay-boy-blue simply is a passive color that signals weakness, where strength isn’t needed. Pink is the next weak & chauvinistic color on the list, labeled as a “troublemaker color” but as for that bridge…This is a doublespan construction site with 8 lanes. You’re damn straight strength is required. Who picked such a weak color? Why not pink? By painting it baby blue you’re also labeling it a BOYS BRIDGE. I get that. Women refuse to accept high paying dangerous construction jobs because they prefer easier lower paying jobs, or higher or equal paying engineering jobs so they can sit at a desk a day. But just picking the wrong color sets a presidence of things to come. You picked a weak ugly color, you might as well pick pink to paint all your bridges. Funny you have no pink bridges in New York. Why not? No girls working to build them. In fact why not ignore all the women & praise the men that built them by painting all bridges baby boy blue? Here’s a plan… try “clear coating” the structures instead. Or try using the natural color of concrete: GRAY or… if you pave with asphalt: black, make the whole friken bridge black, anything but that pansy color y’all chose. You dont paint a bridge above water blue urnless you could care less about aesthetics in having your man made object shine out as the art work it was built to be.
