The hidden story behind the international collaboration is what caught me by the most surprise. What a feat of engineering and historic achievement. Bravo Turkey 🇹🇷
The engineering was Danish and Korean. I think most of the management was, too.
@@peterfireflylund that's not a bad thing, getting some further help from friendly counties is a good thing so long as you don't overdo it.
yea most megaprojects and large scale operations are as such. Take for example a container ship, owned by a Japanese company, that is operated by Evergreen Marine (from taiwan), ship registered in Panama and technical management is the responsibility of the German ship management company. Pretty crazy how everything is international.
@Turtle Spirit 142 so you have an opinion on that matter.
@@peterfireflylund it is still 3 countries working together, something my country can't even do with the two political parties and the people living in America. Divided AF
Very impressive feat. Not only the sheer length and importance of the bridge, but also the fact that they managed to finish it ahead of schedule despite the pandemic caused havoc for construction projects across the globe.
Yeah usually you hear of these big infastructure projects having a delay after delay and being billions overbudget. Guess this one is the exception.
@Turtle Spirit 142 What?
And despite the awful economic situation brought about by turkeys leader
@@thecryingsoul The economic instability is overblown. There are a lot of things to hate Erdogan for but Turkey's economy was far worse before he took over.
@@salakast That's just blatantly untrue. Whilst it can be argued about how much of the economic downturn was caused by his decisions, it is objective fact that Turkeys economy is much worse off now than when he first took office.
Nearly three miles long and taller than most buildings. That's impressive
The "democracies" build faster than democracies when there is no wasting time on stuid things.
Bragging rights are very important for dictators.
The Mackinac Bridge in Michigan is still longer, at nearly 5 miles. Built in the 1950s
@@jeromewesselman4653 Is it a Suspension Bridge?!
That's the point!
@@wildone8397 Yes. The Mackinac Bridge is a suspension bridge, built in 1958
As an Australia .I have a lot respect for the Turkish people. Although we have different cultures, political views, we still have that mutual respect based on what our ancestors fought for that shaped each country. I visited Gallipoli back in 2019-I was impressed how the Turkish govt still protect and maintains a lot of the Australian/NZ war graves and war memorials in Gallipoli, Anzac cove after all these decades.
I may be wrong, but the money to pay for overseas military cemetaries usually comes from the country that sent those soldiers abroad to begin with. I think that's the case for the American cemetaries in Normandy, at least.
@@phoule76 I think that may be correct....But even the WW1 trenches used by Australian and NZ solders in Turkey are still well preserved and protected for tourist to still see today.
Not certain what your point is nor how it connects with this video?
@@j2174 my comment had nothing to do with you. Your point?
As a Turk, most of us have the same positive thoughts about the Anzacs brought to war, and the Anzac soldiers
they suffered similar pains with our soldiers in the war. Moreover, almost all Turkish news channels show the Anzac commemoration on every memorial day.
It’s fucking amazing that the bridge was completed 18 months before schedule.
learn to read between the lines! Old hates coming up!
Turks are good building things. Managing a currency and controlling inflation not so much. Turkey has the longest suspension bridge, largest airport and most arguably the worlds most popular drone(TB2) but most Turkish people live pretty modest lives.
That’s what am talking about
Testing will be done in the next major Earthquake in that region!

My wife and daughter will be in Turkey next week - great country to visit.
Did you visit?
The relationship between Aus and Turkey has become a really beautiful thing. Our national day of remembrance(ANZAC Day) is on the anniversary of the landing of Gallipoli. They named that location ANZAC Cove, and each year they hold a dawn service. I loved how you added that at the end. The bridge is a terrific feat for Turkey, and it genuinely makes me happy thinking what an amazing symbolism of Turkey’s history, and peace between nations.
You're kidding right? You can't be that blind and ignorant.. I mean turkeys history is filled with genocide and oppression on other ethnicities and creeds, but because they send a couple of flowers and a few fake words you people eat it up and turn a blind eye to the war crimes and ethnic cleansing they are doing. Turkey loves to play nice with those who can fight back, but the moment they think they are capable to win they will hold nothing back.
Butter smothered
Although Australia and Turkey are thousands of kilometers apart, they share a common history. Here we commemorate both our own soldiers and the Anzac soldiers. From Turkey with love ❤️
Don't forget about New Zealand.
ANZAC means the Australian and NEW ZEALAND Army Corps… but obviously aussies are too far up their own arses to remember that.
Congratulations Turkey brother country from S Korea
We are a good team
♥️
brother country xaaaxaxaa
We are not a brother country just because of 5000 poor Turkish souls have been sent to the Korean War, we don't have anything in common, other countries were involved in this war too with a larger number of troops, but I don't see the same occultism from Italians, French, Australians or Americans nobody talks about brothership, this myth is the result of pseudo patriotism in turkey, which has crossed the line of absurdity long time ago. Instead of talking about the military coup in the 60's by the hands of western anglophile imperialists we are talking about how "great" we were in Korea? Oh please
It's kind of impossible to convey the true scale of this on video. To me, it looks like a regular ol' suspension bridge, as the design is pretty much the same, but enormous. Overlaying it over central London certainly helps to visualise the incredible scale of this bridge, but video can't convey it all. Truly insane engineering.
Was looking for a comment about this
it looks regular sized in real life too because there is not much around to compare sizes
The shot at 3:51 conveyed the scale for me. Not the surrounding landscape or even the passing freighters, but the tugboats surrounding the 'little' platform slightly right of the middle. Tugboats aren't that small, but they look absolutely tiny here.
As a future engineer and worked as an intern in this project, i am so proud that it's accomplished before the deadline. İ was checking the cables and their twist between two tower. Took about 2 hours to walk in catwalk and climb to the other tower. then wait for elevator and boat and elevator again to go my workplace. By the way work in cables are still going on with traffic.
thank you for your work! 😊

Living near the Golden Gate Bridge in America, it's truly incredible seeing mountainous cargo ships sliding easily under the bridge. The new bridge is beautiful and breathtaking, congratulations to Turkey on this achievement.
Fun fact: The Golden Gate Brigde is named after the Golden Horne of istanbul at the bosphorus strait
Weren't you going to mention the Bay bridge? It's so much better
@@purpleflower506 nope, it's named after the golden gate, which is the strait connecting the SF bay to the ocean. And that's (unsurprisingly) where the bridge is.
Man I love Turkey, Istanbul is such an amazing city.
come again..
an absolutely amazing engineering feat
That bridge is enormous! Makes me wonder what the limit on suspension bridges is.
Allah is ready for war, what is this BIM community understanding? MAD HERE!

I’m proud of this Splendid Bridge ! Congrats 🇹🇷
You forgot about New Zealand, its role in the Gallipoli campaign, and its importance for New Zealand as a young country.
The history and importance of this battle for all three countries (Turkey, Australia, and New Zealand) is fascinating.
Turkey celebrates the WW1 battle of the Dardanelles campaign on the 18th of March, when Turkish forces, led by Mustafa Kemal, stopped the Allied naval invasion of Istanbul.
This battle made Mustafa Kemal a hero, leading him to become a revolutionary leader, the founding father of Turkey's modern-day and secular Republic, and its first President.
Mustafa Kemal was later given the surname 'Atatürk' by the Turkish Parliament, meaning "Father of the Turks."
Stopping the naval invasion necessitated a land invasion by the Allies, which occurred over a month later, on the 25th of April.
This is the day that both Australia and NZ celebrate national days of importance, ANZAC Day, as remembering those who have fought in wars and as the 'coming of age' for both countries.
There is a large memorial on the battlefield, featuring a beautiful quote from Atatürk, dedicated to those who lost their lives, reading:
"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives...
You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore, rest in peace.
There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours...
You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears.
Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace.
After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well."
Also of note is that Winston Churchill, the First Lord of the Admiralty at the time, was, at least in part, responsible for the terrible failure in tactics and leadership of the Gallipoli campaign. It could have/should have ended his career.
Well explained mate.
And that naval victory date of 18th of March (03/18) is used to set the height of the bridge's towers.
They are 318 meters in height.
Thank you, I'm not. Churchill was the big proponent for the invasion at Anzio during WW2 contrary to the counsel of all other military leaders. That unmitigated disaster cost 45,000 Allied casualties. Churchill simply 'windbagged' his way forth after that disaster, as well.
It's only because Australia provided the cranes. And New Zealand did not. That's the reason why he didn't mention New Zealand 🙂🇦🇺🇹🇷🇳🇿
I had goosebumps upon reading this, very well explained
Please, don't confuse secularism and laicism, they are too different! Türkiye isn't a secular republic, it is a laic republic. May be same concept, but they are too different application in fact; in secularism the state has a religion, but in laicism it doesn't connect to the any religion.
Wow Congratulations Turkey 🇹🇷
It was designed and built by Koreans...
@@rock3tcatU233 don't spread lies, dummy
@@rock3tcatU233 It was built by Daelim, Limak and SK Yapı Merkezi. Only Daelim is Korean. Limak and SK Yapı Merkezi are Turkish.

@@rock3tcatU233 Yes you are right. SK is Korean I added it in front of Yapı Merkezi accidentally.
not just the current economic crisis of Turkey, but the fact that they finished early during a pandemic where movement of goods and people was so restricted is quite something
To me it's that fact that this huge and important Bridge is built to withstand earthquakes in a region that has some pretty big earthquakes is what is most impressive. Way to go Turkey!
I loved the significant meaning behind the bridge. Its not just an object, but a testament to unity!
I live in a 30k populated small city. This Bridge is longer than our City from one end to the other, thats massive.
As a student who lives in İstanbul, this bridge made my life way easier especially on holidays when I travel. Thanks everyone who contributed this bridge
construction.
Having crossed the bridge several times as a tour guide, it is always such a strong emotion seeing this peace of engineering wonder!
We are proud of this bridge.🇹🇷🇹🇷💪
And so you should be, Australian cranes for supporting construction are symbolic of the gap finally closing, and the tragedy at Gallipoli a distant memory. Lest We Forget. . . . . I grew up in Auburn, Western Sydney, an easy walk to the Gallipoli Mosque on Anzac Day, our Turkish diaspora are a loving, welcoming part of a suburb where 171 different languages are spoken, on one side of our home were Greeks, I would listen to Era sing every Saturday morning as she washed down their concrete driveway, yard and paths irrespective of water restrictions 😑 , the other side our Turkish neighbours Fatima, Mehmed ( RIP ) Suleiman and Serayah.😍

An engineering marvel, a historic achievement for an economic boom Turkey built a beautiful bridge which bridges Europe and Asia. Bravo Turkey.
Economic boom? They're under crippling inflation destroying the economy but maybe I am missing something
Engineering marvel though, I hope to visit one day
@@andreatommasi3287 he said for an economic boom. Turkey has so much potential but Inflation is a issue rn.
Very impressive. Superb engineering and it looks amazing. So practical yet so beautiful. Well done Turkey and well done those who designed and built it.
The two towers look so tall that by comparison, the height of the deck above the water looks small and not nearly high enough, even though 72 meters is like around the height of a 20-story building. It's hard to fathom how big this bridge is!
I was 2014 there the last time and we had to take a ship to cross the sea. Now, I have to visit Canakkale again - this place is magic, because so many souls leaved this world there, fighting for an independent Turkey which we know today. Many testaments and monuments are located there, its really worth a visit.

Always thought who would succeed the Japan's Akashi Kaikyo engineering feat. But after 24 years, here we are with this marvel. Thats why engineering is so fascinating!
Exactly. 24 years as top crown. That’s how big that bridge was and still is
While the 1915 Canakkale Bridge is a marvel indeed, I see no major advancement in engineering. Consider it took 24 years to exceed the Akaski Kaikyo Bridge's mainspan by 32 meters, that is just 1.6%. The Akashi exceeded the previous record holder, that being the Humber Bridge, by 581 meters, or just over 40%! Also consider that the two towers of a suspension bridge are integral in holding up the side spans. The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge's three spans total 3,911 meters while the 1915 Canakkale Bridge's three spans are considerably shorter at 3,563 meters. The three span total of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is a 72% increase over the previous record holder, that of the Mackinac Bridge. The depth of the water at the tower foundations of the 1915 Canakkale Bridge are 37 & 45 meters, while the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge's are 67 & 70 meters. The Akashi Kaikyo has been tested via earthquake - having its mainspan lengthened by nearly a meter during the Great Hanshin Earthquake. The bridge was designed with a 1,990 meter span, but now has a 1,991 meter span. Also the Akashi Kaikyo has experienced typhoons with winds of 160 kph. The 1915 Canakkale Bridge will never see storms like a typhoon.
@@Triplecenturies And the Akashi Kaiykyo bridge still has additional (currently unused) capacity for rail.
@@Triplecenturiesi am sure if japan were to rebuilt it they could lengthen the suspension span easily. Sadly there is no bike path yet, I need to ride ferry to awaji island for cycling there. Well considering the wind speed, a bike path would have to have some kind of barrier
Always exciting to see international cooperation on a project of so massive a scale. Large but elegant in design utilising the aerodynamic features for this windswept passage. Inspiring video! Thank you.

@@overdose8329 Controversies are about the financial costs of the project. It's claimed that government over promises to company about the number of vehicles to be passing, which is 45K per day, and this will impose a burden on the state treasury.

@@krashdown5814 Thanks
Building a giant bridge using the pinnacle of technology and international collaboration is the most positive symbolic thing humanity can do I think.
It was built because the concept represented a challenge to the intellect of man. Mankind needs these challenges to grow and learn and connect to other people. The benefits (prestige, commerce, intellectual growth) warranted the expense and the efforts involved. I'm glad it was done. Thanks to those who conceived it and those who labored to complete it.
OUTSTANDING, and many thanks for this video.
Thank you for getting me through this wet & dull day
Greetings from Turkey and very thanks for the impressive video. There is also an anectod: 318 meter refers to 18. day of 3. month which is the Gallipoli Victory of 18 March 1915. 🇹🇷
Victory was later. March 18th was when it started.
Those shots from the ends of the bridge I think give the best idea of its scale. You can barely even see the end of the bridge from the other side.
Final message is beautiful. Bravo!
What an engineering marvel! I hope it improves Turkey's economy. Nice presentation, B1M Team!
Amazing........ We love it.
Beautiful engineering achievement,very suitable and important topic for Fred today
Beautiful bridge and sunset! Great video! Thank you very much for sharing!
l crossed this bridge on the way back from vacation. I had a hard time keeping my car on the road before the bridge. Canakkale is usually very windy. I entered the bridge with a strong wind warning. thanks to the panels on the bridge sides, I hardly felt any wind along the bridge. they did a great job. .
Tremendous video - very informative. I didnt think that the tallest ship could get under it though...
What an incredible accomplishment!
It was breathtaking to drive through this bridge. It is like you don't want this to finish.
I've been waiting for this video to drop and it didn't disappoint! It could be truly amazing if more world powers could collaborate on super projects such as this . If the best minds came together, I'm sure asteroid mining in space could happen alot faster! Now there's a dream project !!!!
So Disappoint Panda is, for once, not disappointed. That's an achievement in itself.
And a space elevator…
Can't wait to pollute the heavenly bodies after finishing with earth.
From the headline alone I have to say, that’s one amazing bird.
