The global “ pandemic “
Scamdemic.
I had crossed that bridge just two days before the disaster…scary
I dunno if I could ever drive on that new bridge
Dunno why the Latin peoples have so many problems with cables and wires.
Ever owned an Italian car, and been able to keep the electrics working?
I love Italian cars, if they will start or keep going…
And don't even get me started on Italian steel-work.
Rusts as you watch.
Thanks God for Italian food.
It's the best!
I remember the 5 star party claiming the bridge was done and replacing it was a waste of money. That was what, 2 years before the collapse?
Your voice goes loud then quiet then loud…why?
It's August 12
I missed this one! Needless to say, I will watch it now… as such.
"the now-iconic Volvo teetered on the edge" 10:22
You call that teetering? You should look at the Tasman Bridge collapse.. jesus they were given a hell of a scare
Well, technically it lived intended 50 years
14:10
Is it future John commenting?! Or is it only two years ago and not three?! 🤪😜
One interesting companion to this piece might be your take on the 'almost disaster' of the I-40 De Soto bridge that had a complete crack in one of its main load bearing members and that had been developing for years and was missed the entire time until one bridge inspector finally called 911 and got the bridge closed.
And that's why car-dependence is so terrible : it will never be financially sustainable
From the photo pryer, the bridge just looks so dilapidated and decayed. The distant shots you can just imagine where the stress is.
The most appalling is that is seems there are always these signs that something is wrong pryor to these catastrophies, sometimes there are many noted structural disrepancies and discussions but nothing is ever done. I believe we need better assessment of and these protocol proceeduers and why they are not being adheard to. If we can send rockets to space why are all our bridges falling down on the ground? I believe the amount of research and development that is put into the space program, should be a representative of our dedication to provide a safe way for the people on this planet to transport themselves as we currently live. Unfortunately it is not… Our government is ass backwards and they are so far into space they have their heads up their asses forgot about the now! I think they need to shove those rockets up there asses instead of out in space…lest fix our infrastructure before building roads on…the Moon, Mars or even beyond. I would have liked if you showed more of the new one and was that rust already running down it?
Nothing good ever happened in Italy since Pompey and the destruction of Roman empire!!
What I have to admire is just how quickly they got over it and got it back up. Instead of crying over it for years and the whole 'oh woe is us' they picked up the rubble, cleared it away and built a new and hopefully better bridge.
I was one of the last people to safely cross that bridge. I was returning from vacation in Italy with my brother. Dude is scared of heights and was mildly panicking, I distinctly remember him asking "what if this thing collapses?!". I laughed it off and tried to calm him down by talking about how it's essentially impossible with modern engineering.
Well, fast forward 11 hours, as we approached Poland I tuned into the first radio station we caught. Just to hear "new information on the Genua bridge that collapsed 9 hours ago, the death count is still rising"…
He still doesn't like highway bridges.
thankyou for the perfect subtitles. somebody noticed 🙂
The Romans would not have made these mistakes..
I'm 3:30 into this video, the engineer who designed the bridge believes concrete provides weather protection, I wonder what went wrong here then! Concrete is porous and absobes water, this is easily observable to anyone familiar with concrete and rain.
How did a man so clearly incompetent and evidently unqualified ever find himself entrusted to design a bridge!?
Chernobyl?
Politicians and presidents might be deluded into thinking they're great architects, engineers, and constructors.
Collapsing bridges and failing infrastructure projects prove otherwise.
I’m so glad that there are ft measurements cuz as an American, I literally don’t know the scope of how big something is when it’s in meters lol
I was watching a fascinating horror video before this, and was just wondering why so few of these disaster type videos were post 2000. Low and behold, this video pops into my feed.
I know you're just having fun in After Effects, but the sharp zoom transitions are really jarring
Your best yet
The only major earthquake I've been in (so far 😬) killed a child because steel reinforcement was inside concrete, and had rusted to nothing. The wall was just bricks loosely placed on each other by that point. That was 2018, too.
We drove over this bridge 3 hours before it collapsed. Wife wanted to go to Monaco but I missed the turn so we decided to just go to Rome instead. We were planning to stop only for a few hours in Monaco. I hate to think what could have happened if I made the turn
great work! Constructive feedback (hope you don’t mind): the pronunciation of nearly all Italian names is not right. I am sure you have plenty of native italian speakers among your fans and followers who would happily review your videos and help you get the pronunciation right for free (I volunteer). Thanks again!
It was amazing the bridge lasted as long as it did with the corrosion it experienced.
Moral of the story: Don't try to hide mistakes.
Um actually the Silver Bridge collapsed due to Mothman, I thought that was settled science but SOME people are still holding out
