This collapse seemed to have hurt a lot of people, Battlefield 4 fans, James Bond fans, Astrologists, and Puerto Ricans. Let us have a moment of silence for the most awe inspiring telescope designs in human history.
I want to thank you for this video. As someone from Puerto Rico who was sad to see the observatory get neglected until it collapsed, I’m glad this event has reached International awareness
I agree and as someone from the states I am sad that this happened and sorry too I'm just glad that far as I know no one got hurt hopefully and I also wanted to say going to aricebo was on my bucket list soon as my most of my debt was paid off but now I probably won't go but maybe I will go just to see Puerto Rico I heard it's beautiful down there.
@@bretthibbs6083 It definitely is. Thank you for those words. Also, it appears there is a light at the end of the tunnel, as last night there were news about talks for building a new and stronger telescope
Fantastic work, Kai. As always not to expect otherwise. Good to see that the BCB´s development does not stand still and that its functionality extends now from concrete to steel structures.
Congratulations to those ignorant idiots that ignored their maintenance crews and just let the thing fall apart. That central platform should have been able to be lowered to the ground on a supporting structure so the cables could be checked and/or replaced. The fact that there had been cable failure months before the collapse and no action was taken, goes to show the management didn't care.
I remember seeing someone say that it was beyond repair just becuase one of the cables snapped and thought “How would that be that bad?” I never knew it completely collapsed
The model stems from a scientist working there, but making it a stable physical structure was quite an effort as well. Check the dev reel to get an idea: ua-cam.com/video/OOYhG1-T27A/v-deo.html
Mira, lo que paso fue que nuestro gobierno no queria darle mantenimiento a los cables, y en una se rompio, nuestro gobierno es una porqueria Pd: soy de Puerto Rico Pd: use the google translate

It was around the time the first cable snapped in August that they started to check the other cables with man-controlled drones several times a day, taking about an hour each trip. It happen that on that day in December the drone was at the cable just before it snapped. The operator happen to quickly follow it as....Well, the world knew the rest of the story there.
Count on the top of the yeagers villains in my head and the eligibility on ads on the top row of letters.PRO and then okay with the city Winnipeg and his shorts are not the a great guy to play for you and I hope you can make get me ok

Astrologists couldn't care less because they are charlatans. You probably means astronomers.
And Just Cause 2 fans
jfc astronomers not astrologists.

@@texxon3355 woohoo that's great news hopefully they will start building it soon
@@bretthibbs6083 yes
It wasn't neglect it was too unsafe for it to be fixed with cable failures
The quality here is outstanding and it completely explains the demise of the structure without anywords. Bravo

Timestamps:
1:06 Cable M4N (Auxiliary cable from Tower 4) socket failure
1:40 Cable M4-4 failure
2:22 Cable M4-2 failure
Dude, this is a fantastic simulation, love this channel.
Those cables look small in the simulation but they probably weight tons per 10 feet or so...
Thanks for being a friend in need, Arecibo Observatory.
Everyone:Excellent work
Me: TELESCOPE!!! NOOOOOOOOO *UGLY CRYING*
This is actually kinda sad when you think about it.

Because they had plans to tare it down in 2021 so they let it collapse
Criminal negligence.
@filiphabek271 not enough money more like it.
I remember seeing someone say that it was beyond repair just becuase one of the cables snapped and thought “How would that be that bad?”
I never knew it completely collapsed
This is all a simulation? No animated stuff? How amazing.
Just like I remember From Battlefield 4
Gorgeous work!
The new battlefield 4 update is looking great!
не переживайте вы, построят еще один телескоп. лучше прежнего
Many thanx 👍
A GR8 vid of a very sad moment. 💔
how did you design the suspended platform so acurate?

Supreme work! Didnt know BCB, gotta check ut out
A sad day
Do the Champlin Towers collapse next!
So that's how they stopped Golden Eye
Dududo im totally not making explosion sounds with my mouth as the satilite goes down...
They just happen to catch it on video. Precisely at the moment 👌 👏
Could you maybe do a collapse of the burj Khalifa one day? Would be really cool
His simulations are based on real life events so most likely no
@@rlas her* i know but maybe shed like to do something diffrent idk
@@l.v1473 oh a woman. Thats even better. I apologize for my try to guess/assume the gender
you should make comparions to the actual footage
GREAT JOB 👍
Is it possible to have the model available for download???
Online video downloaders.
How long did it take to make this simulation from scratch?
Over 12 hours!
@@Piankhi_the_Greater just 12 hours?
@@mrpineapple3942I think he meant reader time
@@AidanLima-nt9qp if it's render time it makes sense
And the aliens sent their reply back to Earth 2 minutes after the collapse -- the signal forever lost. THE END.
Who approved this design, it looks so unstable to begin with!
Dude it was built in the 1960s
It was perfectly design wise, but old and neglected.
@@whatisausername99 "Duude we went into space in 1960's"
Its really sad. These kind of structures only benefit humanity yet its destroyed
Nice video.
Amazing man
They need to build another.

Good video.

@@eolgrillo NO, el gobierno de Puerto Rico estaba a cargo.
Someone already solved this problem with a full scale model.. :)
I was there a few days before the collapse
😭😭😭😭😭
Why did it have to go
Too many Goldeneye 64 missions did her in.
How can this observatory collapse? Was it sabotage?
It was old and the cables weren't in the best condition anymore.
What Kostack Studio said and it had been through a pretty strong hurricane and I think I've heard that there was an earthquake there too.
