The lady talking about her husband passing away on the bridge all these years later and still getting emotional about it is extremely sad and amazing at the same time. All that time and she still cries... wish someone cared about me that much!!
She was blessed with an extraordinary man. Not many men like that anymore! I pray for broken heart. Sad.
The aerial views of the collapse of the Baldwin Hills reservoir was filmed by a pioneer of aerial news photography and reporting, KTLA 5, Los Angeles.
17 Months built time for a bridge of this scale? WOW, nice work done!
I love how the bridge is the fault, seems to me you hire a better ship operator they'll miss the bridge!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ditto. When that woman said the "main question" was the bridge integrity, I just shook my head. Blaming the bridge instead of the incompetent fool that chose to navigate without being able to see it? Who in God's name is expected to build a highway bridge to withstand the collision of a freighter or a tanker? Aviation has a term for this reckless behavior; it's called 'get-there-itis'. This is NOT an 'engineering catastrophe, it is a tragedy of reckless stupidity on the part of crew of the ship.
the bit I dispute was the narration that said the bridge was on a collision course with disaster. I'm fairly sure the bridge did not collide with anything.
Blaming an innocent bridge! So wrong!
@@gravesclayton3604 You're definitely a landlubber
... and it *is* an engineering disaster. Any construction must able to withstand things which can easily happen.

We had the Sunshine Sky hit by a ship in the Tampa Bay that was off course. Several cars drove off the collapsed span into the water including a Greyhound bus. Everyone on the bus died.
Greyhound buses are death traps just going down the road. I just used one two years ago.i drove a pickup I was selling in Syracuse, and took a Greyhound back to Wilmington NC. . I had so many stops and three of them were 2+ hours, one one was in NYC and we got there at dusk.. there's no physical buss terminal in many locations, like NYC, and Philadelphia, don't let anyone you care about ride a bus alone, and especially a female... I would have flown for maybe $40 to $90 more...it really sucked...
@@kerrymarris4260 that bridge was the only way to get from St.Petersburg to Tampa without driving way out of your way because there was not direct roads between Tampa and St. Petersburg
My fil, mil and husband (2. yrs. old) were driving down a road in LA when the Baldwin Hill reservoir failed. There is KTLA film showing them frantically driving backwards to get away.
Th St. Regis Building in Chicago was actually something I watched while I was working in that area at the time. I always wondered on the design and this finally answered that question from years ago!
Please turn the music off for the hard of hearing, if you require music put the radio on while watching.
I second your motion!
The dude on the tracks is very lucky. It looks like rush hour given the number of people on the platform. The trains are just a few minutes apart.
only 17 months to build a new bridge from scratch . wow that is fast for it's size
Rumor has it that the floors are still BAM, hitting the next floor!
Hi, I'm Barry Scott. BAM and the deck is gone!
You mean you’re John madden BOOM!
What is a gareaje?
Wow huh..the first one with bridge collapse from a ship .remanisant ain't it of the Francis Scott Key bridge.in the nighttime too..wow Erie..
Sad thing about the Tjörnbridge catastrophe was that after the bridge had collapsed people were standing on the bridge trying to hinder drivers from crossing.
But the drivers didn't trust a person standing on the bridge and continue to drive - to their death...
Was not expecting to see the Tropicana Casino's parking lot collapse on it (I remember seeing it when I was kid (through TV and walking by the area a little after it happened)

How many of these experts read a script instead of doing their own research? I see a few convincingly reasoning outside their own expertise.
Nevertheless, this was an entertaining half-hour.
I see that too. Especially that guy using all the hand gestures, trying to sell something he doesn't believe. Very much like Nancy Pelosi.
We shouldn't be having the building mistakes that we are in the 21st century - mistakes we have already learned not to do in the past. It is amazing that these project plans that we know are wrong are still being approved to build in this day and age. I can totally understand structures built b4 we had the current knowledge but not afterward. The biggest thing is how these plans are being approved in the USA by the government even though even lay people can tell you they are wrong. What's the use of getting permits if the government is going to let obvious mistakes in design to proceed?
The purpose of permits is for the government to have control, to generate money and to get any improvements on the acessor records to raise taxes
I don't understand why they are not using more pre-cast and pre-stressed components, which have more strength and are not as heavy.

You are wrong! Safety never comes first it may not even be second as MONEY is ALWAYS first and easy is often second. Safety only come in if it will affect money.
What's an infrastructure expert?
Here and idea for bridge collapse. A WARNING SYSTEM AT BOTH ENDS RED FLASHIBG LIGHTS OR GATES THAT BLOCKS THE ROADWAY. not hard just put a continuity wiring so when the wires breaks the warning system come on. Sometimes i wonder in 2024 that this is not used to prevent Bridge user to be killed by a catastrophe. Of course if your on the span at that time your screwed.
This happens all around the world, it could be eliminated with robust surroundings at the base of these structures, but it would cost a lot more money, human life or $, guess who wins every time.
Re: the Tropicana disaster-#1- I'm not blaming the victims. How many of the construction guys brought up the problems? I bet a lot of them. Construction workers with experience can spot problems faster than engineers. People like to say things like "they're just blue collar workers" as a slam. But they're some of the smartest men I've met who have a wide pool of knowledge. I bet quite a few of them were asking hard questions & were shut down. I still think about the men that died there.
Gotta suck to get hit by a bridge. How do you explain that to insurance?
It would have been (and is) SO simple to create an automatic warning system for traffic for in case any part of a bridge deck would get disrupted! It only would take one double electricity wire bonded to or integrated into the deck (preferably done at one or two places for every lane for a good redundancy factor) and run electricity through those wires, every separate set capable of facilitating two separate electricity circuits so that one can be run fourth and back from and to the onramps on both sides each having their own circuit. It's would be used through a continuous so-called (dis)continuity check: if the flow of electricity through such a simplest-circuit-of-all would get interrupted, that would automatically trigger a relais (electromagnetically controlled switch normally held 'open' continuously by the flowing electricity) to 'flip', causing a set of contacts to start touching that'll constantly activate whatever equipment you'd want to use as a warning. Of course the trick being that any disruption of the bridge deck would cause that (double) electricity wire to mechanically break which would cause the flow of your 'signal' (electricity) to stop
These are mostly incompetence not mistakes, no redundancy's built into design the obvious is going to happen and does.
How come changes in approved plans are never reviewed properly b4 being approved by peers who don't have a conflict of interest? We'd have a lot less disasters due bad planning.
Thats was the conclusion of investigation structural deficiencies??
It was not structural deficiency rather the design, where the arches starts drooping to their footings and leave a very narrow space right in the middle for the vessels to pass.
I think, the government realised that and built a suspension bridge.
The Tropicana in Las Vegas was sadly destroyed to put a stupid baseball stadium in... They love to put history in a landfill and build crap.... Hell they moved in the Oakland raiders in....
That is why it's called history dummie out with the old in with the new.
@@jase4270 Dummie historical buildings should be PROTECTED... Tear down history for a silly baseball field on the Las Vegas Strip is nothing to be proud of... there is a lot of land south of the strip they could have placed it....
aeronautical engineer commenting on how a ship that rams a bridge was able to bring the bridge down.
Nice.
I assume a toilet expert will be able to fix my computer as well.
"i am an expert in rocks. I study rocks. I have been studying rocks for my entire life. I know every little detail there is to know about rocks. And so, the reason Apollo 13 had problems was because......"
it's not just me then? I was going to make the same comment. I'm guessing the producers saw the word 'nautical' and thought "he'll do".
What this programme is really lacking is an American historian who, for no apparent reason, wears a bow tie.

There's always something going on in California RPS 111
Today I learned that buildings are masculine, unless they're pyramids.
Goofy! Immature! That is something a good superintendent would never allow.
The title of this video made me think this was all California Disasters. It's NOT! OLD & Recent news stories around the World. Bah!
27 million and 1 reasons I dont want to be in LA. 27 Million people and earthquakes.

Can't watch this with that stupid noise in the background all the time. Gave up 1.26.
Two things in common ?. We will learn from the mistakes , and nobody faced prison time .or charges . Whitewash .
22:25 did this dude really just try to say that Atlantic City is a small town. It's got a population of over 38,000 people. That's not small. I live in a town of 3,000 people and that's not even the smallest town near me. 15,000 people isn't even considered a small town.
chicago skyline is not very impressive.
Your hairline isn't that impressive
The story about the Chicago tower and how they fixed it sounds like a BS band-aide. Democrats doing what they do.
they do make good beer in california
and??
Who give a dam?
@@atvheads whoa! in just two comments, that's a world record!
@@nowgoawayanddosomethinggoo8978 Well. Dam or damn. Where's your sense of humour!
Why do you narrate in English and then in foreign language for volume, speed and distances? It makes my viewing a WASTE of time. I'm NOT going to sit here and convert French to English or convert speed and distance to feet and miles per hour because it is the same trouble.
I live in the UK this is a USA PROBLEM.
Lies! 33:05 LA water needs wasn't taken care of by other dams, the water came from Northern California. 1.6 trillion gallons of water per year from Northern California. Its stupid.
