HS2 4,500 tonne Viaduct deck slide

Dear Loyal Patrons
I took the opportunity to come and visit the viaduct during the deck slide. It was captivating and a memorable event. Interviews with locals to follow.

They don't use a winch, they use hydraulic rams.

@@fandangololo1855 James is correct, for this viaduct a winch was used (the HS2 website states 'for each push a winch is used'). Other structures are being pushed, as you state, with hydraulic rams.

Good to see you covering the HS2 construction. Your editing on this one is better than your previous videos but please please please can you slow down the spinning drone footage! Also, your script is too obviously AI generated, in previous videos this has lead you to narrate incorrect facts. It would be better for you to provide more of your own explanation. I hope you will do more HS2 content.

Noted! Given time constraints I do use Ai to help generate scripts. It sites its sources so it’s often hard to discriminate fact from Ai hallucination. I quite like the mathematically perfect orbits around the points of interest. Adds dimension and scale to the story.

@jamesmaclarnon yes orbits are good, maybe start them on a slow rotation, then do a super accelerated rotation and finish with a transition to a slow rotation at the end. This is what I have seen professionally done and it looks cool. This provides the viewer with a good view from 180° perspectives - the viewer just needs a bit more time to process what is seen. I can see what you are trying to achieve and you will no doubt nail it as your editing skills progress. Keep up the good work.
