Juan,
Your stellar example of online citizen journalism is a high bar set at a time of great disruption within and without historical media. With your tools, skills and command pilot calm, you show us the way ahead toward larger truths. Steady as she goes, my Captain!
God Bless,
Br. David. :{D}
This ladies and gentleman is exactly why press and media stories need to be taken with a serious pinch of salt. Then again "hundreds of new cracks in repaired dam" probably sells papers better than "ultra high strength concrete guarantees long spill way life span and great long term value for the stake holders"
Adam Edward yes, salt. It's always mind blowing when one has first hand knowledge if an event or topic and then sees wildly inaccurate news reports. Even NPR is guilty sometimes.
Tommy Petraglia who is Ron Brown?
unfortunately he was the new governor of california u haven,t had good governor since arnold shwart
I spent 9 years in the redi-mix concrete business mostly in QC and sales. We had a saying ''ice cream melts and concrete crack!'' That's what it does when water hydrates and you lose volume and the mud shrinks up because the water looses volume in a particular space. Just like a drying river bottom. Your reporting is stellar as always Juan!
You must remember that Google is a poor company and it is expensive to start up a new television company and you are just the people who made UA-cam a success. Now Google don’t need you anymore. Thank you for sharing your amazing video, you have made Oroville understandable for us living outside USA
Carsten Andersen Excellent point!
It's just that UA-cam figured they could quietly pull money away from a lot of individual creators without much of a public outcry because creators are only small voices instead of one massive representative voice that YT would be forced to reckon with. Financially hurt creators will eventually find a more equitable and fair platform...
I think he forgot to use the sarcasm font.
On a separate note Pulizer nominations are open during December
Juan, I had a garage poured 10 yrs ago. I asked about a guarantee of it not cracking, the guy say's to me, "There's 2 kind slabs, cracked ones, and ones that are going to crack".
Eastern Woods :
Funny the CBS Sacramento channel on youtube people are saying go see the Jaun/Blancolirio channel for the correct comments. Go Juan.
It really is tedious how the MSM try to aggravate.Thanks for the sensible update Juan.
Thank you Juan for the mighty Luscombe views of the Oroville spillway rebuild and emergency spillway re-engineer and rebuild. Please always include shots of the *green spot* to welcome it's return (as usual) as a rain fed phenomenon.
Thanks Juan for another comprehensive clarification and 'to the point' report. Would not miss one after all these months since the beginning of the failure.
Sounds like some people don't have a concrete understanding of what's going on here.
JUAN, Twenty years ago I ceased listening to mainstream NPR. I value my time and intelligence. Greetings from Catskill Mountains, NY.
Wonder what it was that signaled so many 20 years ago to leave NPR. I did too, and know of several others.
National Propaganda Radio
DM I thought Trump would have defunded npr by now. It’s bullshit that we all support NPR even though half or more of the “public” can’t stand that biased leftist propaganda garbage.
Whens the last time ANY government program was shut down? Does not matter if they are R or D's, they won't kill a program, and even when they say they cut the budget, they don't really cut the budget they just lower the proposed budget increase, and to them that is a cut. The whole government is out of control with their spending, and they don't seem to give a damn.
Do you listen to any other radio now? What UA-cam channels do you like for news? One reason I like Juan's videos so much is that he doesn't poke any of my political sore spots!
Love you for not whiping out the white board! :-) Greetings from Germany
I'm watching the "no bull-schatt real news channel."
Excellent reporting as usual, Juan.
It’s amazing how main stream media try’s so hard to make a little thing into something huge. I’m glad you post these conferences for us to see how poor the media’s perspective is. I haven’t poured a lot, maybe a 1000 yards of concrete, but every slab had an insignificant crack or two in it.
The geese over the rice fields looked like flowing, splashing water. Beautiful.
And the main stream media doesn't understand why people don't trust them.
Thank you Juan for the excellent coverage.
Cheers Juan.
Where has NPR been all of this time? Have they been reporting on this in the past or is this their first time to cover this disaster-turned amazing feat that has happened in the past year. Thanks to you Juan for such great personal reporting on all of this. I always look forward to hearing your reports!
Thanks for another great and informative video, we all really appreciate your telling it like it really is.
Also, I seem to be one of the many who hadn't understood how the UA-cam policy worked, this helps. A lot of people don't realize how much work and expense is involved in these "free" videos we all enjoy. Seeing UA-cam and various "pirates" trying to hijack all the cream of the top is very frustrating. Please don't give up, you're doing a fantastic job!
Yes sir! I’m a swimmer Pool contract and the first meeting I have with a client I’m 100% sure they understand they during the curing phase there is going to be surface cracking of the pool shell . Scares some people off but it’s just the natural of the beast .
Nice grass side touch down. Late fall, early winter flying is the "best".
I remember one of your videos showing sheeting covering the new pours to keep the cure rate of the concrete consistent through and though. This keeps expansion and contraction uniform so that serious structural faults do not occur. Is this in reference to insignificant surface cracks, or, are these cracks going all the way through? There are test cylinders poured from every batch of concrete on every construction project I have seen to test the compression strength. When a bridge project is done in our state with concrete, these cylinders are compression tested to the point of failure to see the concrete has hardened enough for quality assurance. If compression testing fails to produce the desired results, the contractor has to do it over. I can't even imagine that they do not have certified test results from every batch of concrete that was poured on this project.
Thank you for your objective reporting, it is nice to hear someone speaking with a clear understanding of technology and risk.
Juan, thanks for the update.
Brilliant documentary as always Juan, nice to see the mainstream media behaving to type; any distortion to create hype. I love the presentations you create, it's wonderfully natural and the added issues like the geese over the rice fields that shows more of life in your part of the USA. The posts on your site provide such a rich view of the true lives of Americans. Long may you keep it up please.
Great Cross Examination of the MSM dolts, Juan. I poured a 14 X 18 concrete woodshop floor this past June. Thickened edges and rebar in the field. I kept it sprayed down with a mist of water for almost 3 months (overkill). Even then I recorded the beautiful spider-web like micro cracks in this woodshop floor. But the water I used, and the mats and water the contractors at Oroville used cured the beautiful concrete just as DESIGNED.
Engineering is a beautiful craft!
Brilliant structured report Juan - to heck with the MSM - we'll stick with you! :)
Thank you.
Splendid stuff! Well done, Juan. Greetings from the UK.
Thank you, Juan!
thankyou for the flight juan......beautiful views
Thank you for choosing to be a balanced truthful reporter
Thanks for the update. I appreciate your coverage and efforts.
Well said thanks for the update Juan.
Excellent as usual! Thank you Juan.
Excellent presentation and explanation, Juan. Keep up the great work (and fly safe).
Juan thank you for your level headed non conspiracy reporting. Common sense in people is a rare thing this days. Again thank you.
Thank you Juan!
Great job Juan as always .
Thanks again, Juan. That reporter you opened up with sure needs an education.
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
I've said it before, the green spot is caused by water runoff from Kelly Ridge. When the soil is saturated the water from Kelly Ridge will runoff onto the dam, during the middle of summer the soil is not saturated and the water will soak into it and the green spot will dry up. The soil is now saturated with water and the green spot has returned. The same thing happens on any hillside below a large community when you have dry summers and wet winters.
Thank you for the update!
Thank you again for your time and effort to bring us these videos. God bless you and I hope you and your family have a wonderful Holidays and Merry Christmas.
Amen to that for Juan and family! Have a happy and safe holiday season and Merry Christmas to you and your family Juan! You have a great family. This from a father of six and grandfather to seven now.
Hey Juan, another excellent and very informative video. It's appalling the way the shrinkage cracking has been misrepresented and you have done a great job of explaining it.
Jaun..I love this news speaker pushing the issue of concrete cracks..all cons will crack
Just would like to let you know I really enjoy your videos especially the Oroville updates. Thanks again...
It's another excellent update Mr. Browne . best regards .
Thanks for the great reporting Juan, I have been following the Dam's rebuild since February. You do have to deal with some strange people (Berkeley) Keep it up. We are in Sydney Australia.
Thank you for your love of the North State, your massive intellectual understanding of building, flying and the other topics you address - your discussion about the winds and other aspects of what brings rains, etc. I hope you continue through the years for we all learn and benefit from everything you put out here.
Juan, I retired from the fire service, TVF&R surrounding Portland Oregon and while part of that organization I was a team leader on the technical rescue team and part of our structural collapse rescue training involved penetrating and/or moving concrete to rescue victims. I recall clearly a comment by one of our instructors when being trained on properties of the material and that comment regarding the subject of this video was, "It ain't concrete if it doesn't have cracks". After laughter by the class he went on to explain exactly what you are talking about. All concrete has cracks to some degree or another and that process continues throughout the concretes life, at least, that is my understanding.
Thank you Juan , I have said this before and I will say it again , Without you we would have no idea what is going on there !
Hi. Great series on this project. Pity there are people who have NO CLUE what they are talking about and are just reading a question from a piece of paper for rating purposes. Generally speaking the only time they have had any contact with concrete is when they walked on it somewhere. Keep up the good work providing the world with sensible balanced reporting.
Thank you for the update, you do a great job!
Love the first white board.
the Spillway King......................thank you for the post Sir....
The view of the snow geese was beautiful! Thanks for sharing that.
Yup, YT biting the hand that feeds it! Great video Juan, I really enjoyed the view from up top, beautiful place you've got there. Love from Scotland UK.
Great info. Thanks Juan.
Juan, that was good info about the ads. I had no idea. I will be sure to wait a few days after I'm notified of one of your videos before I watch it.
Thank you...I needed a Green Spot update...I was really jonesing for GS information. BTW. Cracks in concrete are normally minimized by putting in control joints. The spillway can't have control joints in it because it has to be a uniform, uninterrupted, planar surface. Since you have no control joints, the surface of the concrete will crack, nothing out of the ordinary.
Wow! You've been a busy boy Juan. I'm impressed that you not only covered all of the recent concerns with hairline cracks and green spots, but also delved into some concerns that I've had for a while, namely how they're going to handle the water table below the emergency spillway, and beefing up the ogee weir at the parking lot. You even managed to get in a video of your first love,,,,the bike! I hope AA,s flight crew scheduling problems don't keep you and your family from enjoying a great holiday .
Thanks Juan!
thank you so much for the emergency spillway update and explanation. cool dino behind you on the rail.
Really enjoy your landings at end of your videos. Some of them look quite a challenge with winds like you get in your area,and summertime issues with heat and DA. Nice flying Juan much appreciated skills......... Jay
Once again, a professional, informative video. Love the goose flight interlude! Beautiful to watch and appropriate music. Thanks so much Juan for your hard work. Just don’t enjoy yourself so much in the mighty Luscomb. Remember it’s supposed to look like you’re working.
Thanks Juan
Hi Juan, Thank you for presenting something to really feel connected to, I sincerely appreciate your Work, and especially your grounded baseline, i am sure you´ll get what i mean, thanks! keep it up, i´ll be watching!!
I have placed quite a bit of concrete. I have also cut countless expansion joints. Expansion joints give a place for the concrete to crack.
Thanks for the update
Really enjoy your professional approach to the news. When you give up flying you have a great full time career as a news outlet.
Great reporting as usual, Juan. It looks like the new spillway has typical concrete shrinkage cracking going on and I think you did a great job explaining that. Yes, concrete can be poured with no resulting cracking at all. We poured a 12 inch structural slab on bay mud near San Francisco a year ago and there is not one crack in the slab. But the mix was astronomically expensive and the only reason it was used was to create a cosmetic result for the high end custom home placed atop the slab. The sort of expense on this particular slab is not warranted on a utilitarian spill way. We want successful function at the dam and don't care about the level of cosmetics resulting from a very expensive concrete mix and finish process. God knows this disaster cost enough as it is and I do wonder how the State of California will find the funds to pay for all the other many infrastructure emergency fixes that will be coming down the road resulting from the lack up upkeep along the entire water project. It is a shame that we have to address fear mongering from people who seem to just want to make trouble when we have some real problems that need to be addressed and that are not even being discussed. Keep up the good work, Juan!
So I will just what a few days to see your videos from now on or until you tell us it ok to see them when they first come out. keep up the grate work .!!!!!!
Thanks for keeping it Real and no Filler!
Thanks for the informative update "Blacolirio", haven't moved yet because of the MSM reporting of the "cracks". Keeping an eye on everything from down here in the City of Oroville , keep up the good work......
Got lucky in feb. and happened to stumble onto your UA-cam channel after the dam incident . I finally found someone who knows how to report the news . I am a water operator in San Luis Obispo and very interested on your topics about Orville . I donated to your PayPal account and know it was money well spent . We all should share our gratitude towards your efforts . Please keep up the great work .
Thanks Martin!
Nice to know. I have to wait couple of days before I watch your new interesting video.
Sadly the low standards in journalism mean putting reporters onto a story where they have zero knowledge of the subjects that they are supposedly informing the public on.
another great video Juan. Hope you have a Merry Christmas
This is way better than NPR. Thanks Juan!
thanks for the continued coverage Juan. i live in Indiana, but cant get enough info concerning oroville dam. i'm fascinated by this whole ordeal. ps, great landing. you have inspired me to take up flying lessons come spring.
It is hard to listen to those idiots in the mainstream press... Thanks Juan for doing your part to keep people informed.
Juan, I am pleased contribute to your reporting of the
Oroville dam and other subjects that you are interested in through PayPal. Your
link included in the description made it simple and I hope others will do the
same. As a columnist to our local paper I appreciate informative and truthful
reporting and have followed your videos for months. Keep up the good work Juan
and I look forward to your future reporting whatever that should be. - Canada
Thanks Juan, for posting a video in regards to the hairline cracks at the Orville dam.
I was sure that id get the correct answers from you, in a way that most people can understand. Thanks again!
Juan, it is so nice not to listen to a reporter's personal opinion on the subject they are reporting on. I raise my cup to you sir. Thank you for doing what a good correspondent is truly expected, reporting the facts. Thank you once again.
I only got to 14:00 before I had to pause it to say that the music and video of the geese flying opposite your flight path was dare I say, stunning. What a beautiful view on a late Autumn day! And once again the ahem, media, proves their lack of intelligence and agenda to create trouble where there is none. Thanks for your level headed and objective reporting. You rock!
That footage of the geese was amazing!
Nice "DC3" approach, Capt. ( Low & Slow )
Made a few in the 3 myself.
Video is very calming and peaceful. The geese resemble foam on shallow wave's.
Always looking forward.
Merry Christmas, Juan and Family !
Hi Juan, long time no see! I saw signs for Oroville when I went to Quartzite, AZ in Jan.; however, I was in a hurry so didn't get to check out the dam. As usual, you give a concise explanation about what is going on with the dam on a level someone with no engineering knowledge can understand. I really appreciate it. More than anything, I'm SO RELIEVED that dam didn't fail altogether! Nice to hear your voice and see you so elegantly and clearly explain current events surrounding the Oroville Dam! Take Care
Thanks Kathryn!
Great, thank you Juan for the really factual update. Maybe we should make it a point to wait a few days to watch your videos that way you might get your payments.
Juan, I’m doing a current events write up for one of my high school classes about Oroville Dam and I gave you a shout out for doing a great job at simplifying all of the complicated things that DWR have put out, so I thought that you would like to know that I quoted you in a government class of mine.
Excellent! Thanks Dane
Love to go flying in the Mighty Luskom, and it was a great ride today! It's a shameful state of affairs at GoogleTube. I will be donating. Thanks, Juan.
I've worked with and around concrete my whole life,it always cracks. The bond to the rebar and other reinforcements is what's important . Npr? not pro reality. Great video Juan!
Great video love your updates
Juan. Sometime in the last 2 weeks I was unsubscribed from your channel.... Not my doing... I'm subscribed with the notifications again. (I haven't "lost" any of my 71 subscribers. yet....)
Great job again.
Thank you for your informative videos!
Amazing as always!...Love those landings! 👏🏻🙂🦉
AAahh...Chico Ranchero! I used to live in the dorms right down the street from this secret little airport hidden out in the orchards. Never landed there myself. About fell outta my chair when I saw that at the end of this post. Thanks Juan!
OUTSTANDING: Thank U for the explanation about the cracks, because some of the explanations we've been getting have been really cracking me up no pun intended. 🐢🇺🇸🐢🇺🇸🐢🇺🇸. Thank U also for the UA-cam explanation. I watch several gun channels and they're getting the shaft.
I don't think I've ever seen that many geese in my life.
As always, a good and very informative video.
Thanks again.
Regards from North Wales UK
Thanks juan you are the best
I look forward to your updates
On the dam spillway I know I can
Depend on you I live in Linda just
South of Marysville so it is inporent to me
Great Video of "The Geese Migration"!!!! And Great Little Crack Rant to go with the Low Dam Water Green Spot: Juan !!!! Now I just wonder what the Woodstock View from the Mighty Luscom would be from a Christmas Tree Farm? Tis the Season & Happy Christmas Tree Hunting Juan. Thanks for another amazing DWR & Keiwit Update.
After you said "...the folks at Public Radio don't have a fundamental understanding....", you could have ended the video, and the majority of the population familiar with Public Radio would have given this video a "thumb-up". I often watch clips that PBS posts on YT, and have yet to watch one that espouses any perspective to the "right" of Bernie Sanders.
