The Empire State Building withstood the crash of a plane, but not the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, which happened on a Tuesday, September 11, 2001. It was truly tragic but people learn from their experiences and mistakes.
Just want to say Building 7 was demolished professionally.
9/11 was an inside job
My grandfather was a postman in this building around wartime and told us he made more money in tips from grateful businesses at Christmas time than the postal salary.
Same with waiters, bartenders, and hookers
Sounds Lovely dood.
My daughter is a rural route postal worker and I can state it is the same today. People are surprisingly generous around the holidays.
There's no way a Channel of this quality can go down. Immediate member. Really hope you can recover 🤞🏻🍀
UA-cam needs to do whatever is in their power to promote free amazing education instead of dumb people fighting over nothing and making millions out of it.
cant agree more！
i think they should also start showing ads because very few people will be supporting. And that will keep it going for even longer !
BS with the amount of views he's getting. He's just trying to milk people for more money.
@@vitaminb4869 agree, channel with more than even A million subs won't face any financial difficulty and he has 6.31 subs
@@SaddamHussain-we9ecwrong, he has a big team of professionals who need to be paid a fair compensation. A vlogger with 1 million subs however is a totally different scenario.
I worked for this building for years. Never once was sick of hearing the history and its still my favorite building
Great video. One correction - the building getting narrower towards the top was not an aesthetic choice, it was a legal requirement. After the Equitable Building was built downtown, all skyscrapers had to have setbacks if they wanted to go higher. This was done so that the buildings would not block the sunlight from hitting the streets. More info here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1916_Zoning_Resolution
The zoning law states that the hypotenuse of a right triangle drawn from the opposite side of the street with a 25 degree angle or so can not touch the building which is why the building needs setbacks every few stories on the lower level. The exception to this rule is that 25% of the lot size can be built as high as technically possible. (This explains why developers buy air rights from neighboring plots.) The last setback the Empire Stare Building needed for the zoning law is at the 29th floor.
The shape of the building above the 29th floor was to make 8 corner offices while using exactly 25%of the lot size.
The floors above the 86th floor observatory were intended to be a mooring mast for dirigibles but the plan was put on hold and scrapped after the Hindenburg accident.
Yes, but they used that as part of there design element towards aesthetic. It was all thought about.
Your channel is extremely under rated!! I don't understand why people don't want to learn science even when it's represented as best as possible.
And for free !
Couldn't agree more. With all the available knowledge, people still choose to overlook them outright.
Too many idiots watching Hollywood and Netflix
with 6M subs ??
Because it is difficult to understand Indian English
"does this resemble something?" : my creative mind telling me something else
Fr 😂
Notice how it's a Volvo that got hit in the last seconds of the video and go no damage. This channel is really accurate on everything
Volvo's safety got nothing to do with the strength of the cars body.
Spare me….
I really don’t want this channel to shutdown; I would much rather have this content promoted.
Is that all you can afford?
Great work! I love the videos about bridges, buildings, and dams. The explanations of problem solving and construction phasing are top notch. You make me a better civil engineer.
You must be poor or unemployed if you can only donate $5. Damn

Now please do the Twin Towers!
They didnt survive 💀
@@generaliroh842 Very funny dude

Dude it's really a good civil informative video . And hats off for your effort on data collection ☺️☺️☺️
Thank you for your great science content. I learn a lot through your channel
The best channel award goes to Lesics from me ❤️
Thanks allot for the video after long time i was waiting
So happy to see a Lesics video!! 👏👏
Hope you keep making your incredibly awesome educational content and live on for many more decades.
Very Good Explanation with Clear representation

This is what I'm waiting for lesics, congratulations on your struggle
The quality of all things American built from the 1880s through the 1930s is amazing. From a pair of Levi's to pocket watches to cars to skyscrapers.
Iron is the god of construction, hats off for the iron metal 💪🎩🎩
Im a construction worker and a lifelong new Yorker and this building captures my imagination like no other and even with all my structural know-how it still absolutely boggles my mind this masterpiece was built in the middle of the great depression in 13 months...I mean really even with the superior technology of today it takes us much longer to build though I know this could be accomplished today .. regardless of when it'd still amaze me I mean what we can accomplish and create really is something absolutely worthy of awe...man I'm not afraid of heights but it'd take me a long while to be able to do what these guys did and even with much practice I don't know if I could ever be like them walking 1000 feet up as if they were on the sidewalk...im a major architecture buff and I gotta say overall this building is probably my all time favorite and it never ever gets old peering out a window at it or walking into the lobby..it truly is a masterpiece
You are Right. It was IMPOSSIBLE then. It is much Older. HIS-STORY is not Our-Story.
Excellent--SO---what is your opinion on the contraversial claims, that the Twin Tower's should NOT, have collapsed in the way they did, (without help?)
World trade center should have been built like the empire state building 🏢
@@cornell833 Yea if it the towers were built like ESB I think they'd probably still be standing right now... reminds me of Doc's line to Marty in Back To The Future II where Marty tells Doc to land the Delorean on top of Biff's car.."he'd cut thru us like we were tinfoil" as a kid I didn't understand it but as I got older I clearly saw what he said cuz so many things today are nowhere near as strong as they were 100 years ago and even though the wtc wasn't even close to New when they were destroyed and were built in the late 60s Early 70s even by then numerous things were built significantly weaker..sorry to yap..Im assuming Structural Strength is what u were referring to in your commen
@@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617 your so correct
Thank you team Lesics for continuity ❤
Easiest Subscription I’ve put in for. I can’t let this channel die, not after how much I’ve learned from it.
I'm sorry to hear about your financial problems--you make good videos! You don't need all of the fancy animation; simple graphics and good explanations would be fine!
dude shut up and donate
Yes we need this kind of animation. Some of watch his channel to observe how he does this kind of spectacular animations.
One of the best channel I have ever seen. Simple language with attractive graphics. Any one can understood easily about difficult things of engineering. Its very sad to hear the financial problem. Insha Allah, your problem will be solved soon. Hope for the best.
What an astonishing way to show the financial crisis. Wishing for the best to you- Lessics/Learn Engineering.💜
Such quality content, idk my UA-cam isn't promoting it to more people!
The animations are very illuminating.
The pencil comparison for example. But all the othe otherones are so great too.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Congratulations 👍
Unbelievable that this was done in 13 months even by today’s standards that would be fast incredibly fast
Informative and professionally executed. Thank you.
This video answered several of my life long questions pertaining to the Empire State Building.
10.9 thumbs up!
It sad that this thing was build during the Great Depression and we can’t get our act together now.
Awesome video!!!
Really awesome production quality - the building and the video!
Thank you Lesics for the awesome details and information.
As I remember back in the 70s, they had a glass showcase with a brick in it, and if I remember right it said they had ordered either 10 million or 100 million bricks for the building and had ONE brick left over!
Those terra cotta blocks used in the floors were commonly used back then in partition walls and elsewhere, they were why the gothic styled building at 90 West Street which had raging fires after 9/11/01 survived.
They still use these blocks to-day in home contruction in Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, and I imagine elsewhere in Europe. I saw google street views of a new house under construction in Hungary, it used those same terra cotta blocks which were then faced with stucco, while the roof was made with red terra cotta roofing tiles.
They are superior to the cheap concrete blocks we use- larger in size and having multiple cavities in them, they have more insulation value than concrete blocks, and since they were clay that was hardened and vitrified by FIRE, they stand up to a fire whereas concrete blocks crack and crumble because concrete is made into a powder by grinding up and burning limestone, adding water and sand to that chemically cures it into a hard form but it's not vitrified like terra cotta
You have one correction to make. Ironworkers assembled building by driving hot rivets. High strength bolts weren't used for several more decades.
High strength bolts made their debut in the early 60s. Temporary soft bolts were used to connect members for the riveters to follow.
Terribly EXCELLENT video! You made me feel so connected to it.
wow, this is super amazing, the best video in the youtube i ve ever seen. thank you for posting this educational one . really love it
You should compare this building to the Twin Towers which went down on 911. They were built quiet differently.
Bldg 7 too.
It's a shame you didn't mention the bricks used in the foundation. They were called Accrington Nori's and they still are the strongest brick in the world. They come from Accrington in Lancashire England. There name comes from Iron being backwards on the mould by accident. They are so strong because the amount of Iron in the clay.
Ohh, thank you for this information. We will add it in the next video of Empire state building.
Noris. No apostrophe.
Shame on you? Lol jeez get a life
bull shit!
🤓
This is one example of old school engineering provided the best results 👍.
Thanks for the story about this incredible building.
Nice knowledge 👌
I really love your channel, I hope people stop watching stupid tikto videos, and spend their time learning from your channel! Love you lesics team! 💪💯🔥 Stay strong
This video is very professional
the only thing i can do to help my fav channel still affloat is by watching all ads no skipping. to donate i dont have money. thanks for all your hardworks lesics team. i learn alot
I knew a guy who redid the HVAC in the building. He said there were still burn marks and small aircraft parts behind the finishes.
That plane also wasn’t a Boeing 767 headed from Boston to L.A on a full tank of gas…
What an amazing and high quality video! Thank you guys so much for posting it. It really made me appreciate the design of the Empire State Building. As for the design, I'll admit that the Chrystler Building looks more like a pencil shape than the Empire, but I get the idea of what the architects were thinking. Both are amazing skyscrapers!
the animation just makes me want to donate
crazy how in 8 years this building will be 100 years old
Yes. Amazing!
If this channel's founder doesn't get any rewards or awards. I'm gonna lose faith in humanity
Excellent animation, particularly for some new to Steel Structures.
Well explained.
73 elevators. Well the elevator repair and maintenance team got job security hahaha
It was built in 13 months around 90 years ago, no computer aided design, none of the technology we have today. It also was built ahead of schedule and under budget. Compare that to the 6 years with all our modern technology it took to build the new Wembley stadium, which ended up way over schedule and much over budget. How is this possible?
It was also built during the Depression years
dont believe this garbage lie about 13 months .... you know its impossible , plus there is NO foto or video evidence of construction
I personally think corruption. In Soviet Union, any project deemed important bypasses bureaucracy, building begins without funneling funds, etc
created by space creatures in 3 days so end of discussion, gold gate bridge san fransisco either,
I really enjoy watching your videos
Wow... clearly explained.. 👍
The amazing thing is the lack of comments with the obvious observation that the World Trade Centers could not have fallen at free-fall speed because of an airplane crash, given their improved structural rigidity over the ESB
Size of the airplane is very different my guy. This is the size comparison - www.physics.smu.edu/pseudo/b767b25.jpg
Improved rigidity? Look at the structure of the ESB in this video and compare it to the WTC. Likewise consider how the I beam and clay pot floor would stand up against fire compared to the WTC steel truss design (aside from differences between plane crashes).
Also please make a animated vedios on related electronics telecommunication engineering
That was incredible!
Thx for video u answered alot of my questions.
Would be interesting to know if the building was bent after the aircraft crash, even if only a few millimetres or so.
It was not
It's been said that the stepped design of the buildings is due to air rights regulations in New York city but I saw no mention of that in this video and instead it would seem that this video suggests it was a purely aesthetic choice. Please explain
All tall buildings in NYC had to adhere to a 1916 zoning law, that allows light to infiltrate the streets, as the tower gets taller it gets setbacks
Krpp the videos coming. I really enjoy them. Great work
I don't think anyone today could do what these workers have done back then. Such perfect engineering. Something not seen anymore. We give our thanks & gratitude to those hard-working Americans.
They were not steelworkers: steelworkers work in the plants that MAKE the steel. The men who erect it are IRONWORKERS
Let us all write to UA-cam CEO Neal Mohan, and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, and Education Departments to provide some financial support to this channel. We should also help as much as we can. There are a few excellent educational channels on UA-cam. Lots of strange people talking trash, making fake news and political statements have raised millions. And here is a channel that helps us understand technology--about computers, internet, electronic devices, AI, current and future technologies, etc. We need to support it.
Nice illustration ❤
nice work as always
Here come the 9-11 conspiracy theories
The 9/11 commission report was a sham.
Nah it stood strong because jet fuel can’t melt steel beams
Amazing spectacular engineering. ✌️
Seriously 3 months thats huge 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Meanwhile the Twin Towers 💀
💀
It helps when there isn't thermite attached to the columns. Like WTC 7. Also known as building 7.
lol thermite
It also helps when the explosion, amount of fuel, and sustained heat in combination with the overall penetration into the building is not the same, Russian bot.
I love your videos. It's very easy to understand
Thank you so much for making the video for free. I will consider supporting you once I start earning. Thanks

Fun fact: zero feminists were used during the construction of this structure
It might not be fun for you but at this point you are more obnoxious than those feminists

This is one of the most amazing channel. Keep it up
Should have tried again with a bigger airplane. I wonder if anyone ever thought of that...
What about World Trade Center 😂

Remember when two planes took down three buildings
Airliner's
Trying to tickle the algorithm, awesome video man!
Thanks for sharing
More than 20 years later and they're still trying to explain why 3 building on fire with minimal damaged just collapsed into their own footprints.
it’s not that deep bro💀💀💀newer building uses less material for cost and efficiency because computers were used to avoid unnecessary over engineering to save money, unlike older buildings when not computer aids were available, no one designs a building for taking a hit from an airplane 😅
@@lyteness859 It's pretty deep.
@@lyteness859shut up they lied
@@lyteness859the building was steel not wood, and hit at the top not the bottom
@@lyteness859nobody designs a building for planes to hit it
4:14 “…until 1971 when the World Trade Center overtook the record by 83 meters”
Then by 2001 the Empire State Building reclaimed the title of tallest building in New York due to the size of the World Trade Center dropping to 0m
Now, the New WTC is the tallest in NY and in the USA. NY deserves the titles because it is America's #1 city. I'm happy you didn't mention the Sears Tower. I'll stop right there.
Well explained 👍
Great animation!
Wait, an airplane crashed into the empire state building and a building down the street didn't fall at free fall speeds as a result? Weird.
It was a quite small and slow plane lol...
@maddiekits4998 not true, it was an US B-25 Mitchell Bomber, eleven people in the building and 3 crew members were killed.
Empire State building also had a lot more steel holding it together. WTC 1 & 2 were almost hollow so it could flex in the wind.
@LorainPsycho if steel melts from jet fuel, what difference does it make if there was more? The steel would have been melted at impact...but it wasn't. Besides we all know buildings hit at the top don't fall from the bottom at free fall speeds.
@@singerkgreen jet fuel doesn't melt steel, only softens it. That's how blacksmiths are able to forge steel. Since the twin towers were close to hollow, there wasn't much steel holding it together, causing the site of impact to eventually collapse. The Empire State building could burn for a lot longer without collapsing because it had a lot more steel holding it together. The Twin Towers started to collapse from the top, and everything that was falling would've been heavier (Newton's 2nd law) and crashed right through each floor below it because the floors weren't build to hold that much weight.
Very glad to see your videos
I enjoyed that thank you 👍
The secret is not having charged explosives and weakened beams and needing to enter a profitable war
The aircrafts that hit the Twin Towers would have done the same minimal damage. The buildings were filled with explosives.
ahahahahahah
OMG another conspiracy theorist with no evidence or intelligence. No, the tiny blow-outs of debris when the levels compacted is just the air being forced out and expelling debris. People adding SO MUCH explosives inside would have been easily seen beforehand.
