I saw on the news that everyone survived!
@@KingOfDams ok good
Me and my fiancé were thinking of taking a trip here. So glad we decided to go to lego city instead. My condolences to those affected😢💔🙏
I am very glad that you escaped this horror ..
Stay away from the river there

Didn’t even hear about this on the news. What a shame. Thoughts go to the families affected
The authorities are hushing up..
@Delta4651 so said death himself. Man I’m surprised you’re not jubilant over this. Ya got more souls to reap.

Your sir are the analyst of the month
The fact that he is willing to do this is pretty crazy
actually technically the first 'out of dam casualty' is around 3:31 or so
That guy on the top of his house needs full credit. He survived the most smartest way. While everyone on the ground is going nuts, bro is chilling.
Yes, you are right :D
That kid, house and ladder woman survived too lol
@@sampletexthere7502 The chef on the house that got swept away probably survived too
What about the girl on the ladder?
The ppl on top of the dam tho💀💀💀
I don’t know if I’m ashamed of myself for being so interested in this, or if it is just legit scientific inquiry. Either way, that was awesome.
I am very glad you think so, my friend!
Despite the numerous efforts by the engineers to discover a safer material to build dams with, nothing has been found.
I’m interested too lol
Watching this as a teenager or either an adult should not be ashamed for
Ikr. I thoughr. What am I even watching, but yet I find it interesting
This video is an absolute masterpiece. Where do I even begin?
-It accurately demonstrates the dangers of water
-The music is just fire
-There was so much tension and suspense
-The build up of the water rising and then the climax of it destroying the town below was just phenomenal
Overall, a spectacular video. Am definitely watching more of your content. 👍
My friend, I am very glad to hear it! Thank you so much!
Water KILLS.
@@rupertchappelle1089 I... know? I did say that
“The great Brickmanian flood”
Brickmania City, July 17, 2023.
It was a normal summer day for the small, yet bustling city of Brickmania. The city has a population 27k, but it heavily increases in the summer because of people staying for the summer though. Most people were surprised when they saw that they couldn’t go to the dam reservoir which is the most popular swimming place in town. It was blocked of by authorities and was fully drained.
1:34 pm
The trouble first starts when the workers notice the sand getting a little wet, they new this was a sign of a breach but they hoped that the levees that they put in place to stop any major leak would save them. They did not.
1:52 pm
The water begins to flow in at rapid speeds, overwhelming the workers and causes confusion and making it hard for them to get up the dam wall. The first confirmed casualty of the flood is John L. Brooks, aged 25, at 0:37. The second at 0:54 who was in shock and didn’t have time to react.
3:14 pm
The water got into the interior of the dam causing a large crack to form and eventually fall, confirming the death of 13 people. This is when alarms are sounded.
3:18 pm
The crack gets even larger, causing Rebecca Lyman, Aged 53 to fall and drown.
3:24 pm/ 4:41
The water breaches the dam through a hold formed by the water. This immediately sweeps away multiple people along with debris flowing after them, this kills around 26 people. The water reaches a building carrying it away long with all the people in it ( 4:58 ).
3:39 pm
The water sweeps through the town drowning and sweeping people up along the way.
3:47 pm
The water rushes over the dam.
4:05 pm
As the water rises, the casualties do to.
At 7:06 authorities come to collect survivors, by the time the disaster is over, there are 567 confirmed dead, along with 863 injured.
R.I.P to all killed in the flood.
Remorse to the families that lost their friends, daughters, sons, mothers, fathers and grandparents. 🫡🫡🫡🫡
So cool my friend!!
@@KingOfDams Thank you!
"I still remember that day, that horrible, dreadful day...
It was like any other day, the city was bustling with activity, people were talking, shopping, minding their own business without a care in the world.
And why should they? The Mayor promised that the dam would be a great tourism spot, the landmark of Brickmania City, that it would bring fortune to the locals and basically make the city greater.
Little did we knew, the Mayor was cutting corners in almost every one of his projects.
I was enjoying my day-off, relaxing on the roof of the building closest to the dam, everything was great, temperature was nice for ice cream, music was heard around the block, all around I could hear the joy of the people, I could see the couples conversing down there, it was making me more impatient, for my wife was returning from a business trip and was already on route home.
Then I heard a scream, the supervisors who were inspecting the interior of the dam dissapeared in the blink of an eye, almost like magic.
Then, I saw with horror as the water started rising even more, I screamed with all my strenght to the ones on the ground, but the music was so loud, if anyone heard me they probably ignored me.
When the water broke the dam... it was like everything went in slow motion.
I saw the current sweep the people violently, throwing them like ragdolls and to my sheer terror, the water displaced a building, so those who were holding unto said building for safety were doomed.
I closed my eyes, I couldn't dare to see anything else, but even if you try to blind yourself from something, you can still hear.
And the screams, there were tons of them... children, women, men... all of them asking for help...
But the worse part of that? Is the silence that followed.
In the silence I dared to watch... and I saw that the reason the silence started is because everyone was dead.
I was one of the few lucky who survived, my wife's car was found under the flood, I never recovered her body.
To this day, I asked myself what did those innocent people do to deserve this horrible fate, a fate that could had been prevented, were it not for the greediness of the Mayor."
@@franciscoleolopez6050 man, I’m so sorry for your loss. It must be so hard for you to live through all of this. The survivors guilt must be insane.
Do you keep in contact with the other survivors? Because I heard most of them moved away and only about 200 live within the general area. And the recent death of the mayor has been very suspicious because they said it was due to old age but he was only 56 when he died.
@@franciscoleolopez6050 Luckily, as can be observed clearly, the population of Legoland consists of excellent swimmers, both backstroke and breaststroke . There was one poor individual encased in deep sand, he could be reanimated. Apart from that even the houses stayed upright, even whilst being dislocated. Fire hazard is a much, much more prominent hazard in the depicted community, resulting in huge amounts of highly toxic black smoke. I do foresee this from my youthfully experiments on Lego blocks.
6:48 Guy on the far left accepting his fate seemingly in slow motion is the most dramatic part.
Agree with you..
RIP
Oh NOOOOOOO!
What if you gave the houses foundations made of Lego bricks underneath and sunk them into the sand? I want to see how well they would hold up when the dam finally breaks.
Nice idea, I'll think about it
Funny i was just thinking this
The air in the foundations would just cause it to float earlier probably i think.
I was wondering that too .... I think we both need a life ...
@@mikeokeeffe4692gotta find a way to fill them blocks. Or vacuum seal.
I really love the fact that the initial parts of the sand falling into the water was very fantastically synced with the music. Improved the video quality by 1000%
I am very glad you noticed it my friend!
yeah man, gave me shivers!
Very much appreciated.
If the city adequately funded this dam, they'd have been able to build it with legos and this tragedy would have never happened! YET ANOTHER CASE OF GOVERNMENT INCOMPETENCE!
Yes, you are absolutely right!
The dam was constructed by a private corporation. We need to hold them accountable.
6 year old me is just loving this. I miss doing this in the old sandbox. Aftwr it rained. Dig a small ditch and let the sand slowly break away, and my 2 lego people would be washed away.
Cool story, my friend.. :)
Me too
Me to
Same when I was like 6 and 7 I would watch this all the time and I wish I did it before
Me too
Can we just appreciate that the camera man survived and was able to document this
Miracle..
@@KingOfDams , fun fact, when my sister and her husband were in Portugal some time back, they were fixing to check out of a hotel, but they forgot some things and then a flash flood hit where they were staying, he started to record the incident because they post all the time online, and then a news crew asked them if they could show the footage and their footage got shown worldwide when the story about that part of the world got that flood.
@@paxhumana2015proof why cameraman is the best job.
@@paxhumana2015 😅
Despite the weakness of the foundations, the structural integrity of these buildings is fantastic.
You are absolutely right
Coming from a country that experiences an average of 20 storms a year, this was a bit frightening. I had no idea you could replicate disasters using Lego this accurately.
I am very glad you like it my friend!
3:01 Rest in Peace Gregory, we knew each other since middle school, never thought it will ended in such a tragic way.
So dramatic..
Perfectly timed with the bass kick of the music when big chunks are falling; very well edited. -- Great choice of dramatic music as well.
Thank you very much! I am so glad you noticed it!
This is a very good representation as to how dams fail too. From watching the water absorbing into the ground and destabilizing it from the inside, creating a channel for the water to surmount the dam
Also gives humans some ideas where to start to help reinforce the dam to keep if from failing, as well as reinforcing the idea that when one is caught in any sort of flood, pull a Kenobi and claim the high ground.
I agree with you my friend
Interesting real life parallel, this is very similar to how the levee system in New Orleans failed during Hurricane Katrina. Really cool to see the dynamics modeled at small scale like this.
I am so glad you like it my friend!
Watching all these tiny lego people, paralyzed with no form of escape as several gallons of water caecade towards them, sweeping them of their feet and leaving them face down in the murky water as they get carried away while the sickest guitar riff plays is phenomenal
Wow.. :)
I actually thought about how creepy it was that the Lego people had all kinds of time to flee, but had no idea they needed to because the destruction on the other side is so quiet. You can't tell there's anything wrong until about 3 seconds before the whole thing goes. That's scary as hell.
I would love to see a few new things come along. Like a time lapse of you building these. Expo marker on the out side so we see how far the sand shifted!
Yes. He always does the same things
@@pedromello_rec and your doing what? complaining? how original.
@@seankingwell3692 relax bruh there is such a thing as a dialogue like chill
@@seankingwell3692 gonna cry?
Ok, I'll think about it, my friend
This is just an amazing, heartbreaking story. Now I need a film adaptation of it starring Harrison Ford.
P.S. The synchronization of the collapses with the music is amazing!
Thank you :) I am glad you noticed it!
i remember like years and years ago that i was so obsessed with these videos and had to beg my brother to watch them with me
Cool :) Welcome back my friend!
Even though this video was created 32 minutes ago people couldn't hesitate to start talking I admire that
Dude it was only 8 minutes
@@GoofyKitty_
I think Jennifer mean when the video was posted when they watched it and not how long the video was
I'm always happy to respond to comments :)
@@theunknown2418 Oh ok
I used to always imagine acting out natural disasters with lego cities! I always thought it was kind of dark but still so cool!
Cool! I am glad you like it!
WOW, this is extremely well edited! The music matches perfectly with the dam's collapse steps. Also, the cuts between the locations adds to the dramatic development. This is done either by a professional editor or by a natural talented person, who might wanna consider to apply for an internship in the industy. I'm a total amateur editor, but I'm just skilled enough to recognize that this excellent work.
Ohh, my friend, I am so glad you think so!
I love how perfectly timed the music is with so many things
I am so glad you noticed it!
There’s just something so poetic about seeing the sand splitting and crumbling and eroding away in the water
I agree with you..
Man, I used to watch this kind of stuff when I was like 8. So glad people are still doing them
Welcome back, my friend!
I was thinking that ladder was going to be a terrible place to stay, but that worker did alright!
That Lego person was on the ladder for far too long, so unrealistic. Chef was my favorite character in this short film. I feel the way he played his role really sold the scene. Chef certainly deserves recognition for this.
You are absolutely right!
Sending prayers from Lego city🙏
Would love to see one done where the sand is already wet for better compaction and would problem be a little more realistic as well
Good idea, thank you!
Except levees are built with clay not sand for this exact reason.. if you put water on sand it will find a path through it, even if it is previously compacted. But it was interesting to see, and I thank you for putting it out there.
Someone please explain to me why there’s multiple people with a grim reaper pfp in the comment section of a vid like this lol
@@CrankyAf well for me I watch all kinds of videos on yt
This is not even close to being realistic. Dams aren‘t just a bunch of piled up Sand.
There are multiple layers of multiple different materials + healthy and well cared for grass on top to keep everything together even tighter.
It‘s a whole ass science to build a dam.
I have to say... the pure sigma energy radiating from the person on the ladder is insane.
The river has fallen into the Lego City of a man! Start the rescue Helicoper!
Lol :D
I can't decide what I like better... just the experiment itself, or the music that sounds like it came from a training montage scene in 80's action movie.
Lol :)
What a unfortunate series of events to happen to a little town, my condolences to the family of those who died.
Yes, so dramatic...
The soundtrack had no right to be that killer🤘🏻
Sorry :)
I will totally rebuild that flood car when it comes up for auction.
Cool :)
This is what i used to watch as a 5 year old
Welcome back :)
Why didn’t UA-cam warn me that some audience found this disturbing. Sheesh I wasn’t ready for that brutality.
Sorry! :D
@0:55 the firefighter is just standing there!!!! Run buddy. Run!!!! Hilarious 🤣
Lol :)
Look at that legend on the ladder. Survived AND kept the ladder.

4:45 Watching this at 2x speed makes it the most metal dam-beak of all time
Lol :)
This was a cinematic masterpiece
I am very glad you think so :)
when the dam ripped open and the music changed... felt like I was watching AOT ep1 all over again
Such a very sad tragedy!
Hope their souls rest in Peace
😭
♥️
Yes.. It's so dramatic..
It’s not that deep bro
@@The_Huddle. yes it Is 😢
The fact that this dam breach coincided perfectly with the music was amazing, what are the chances.
Hahaha :)
Even the music sounds better at 2x
This is basically what happened here (UK) during the boscastle flood in 2004. A surge from a deluge of rain came from high up in the hills washed down the valley destroying half the village and washing everything out to sea.
It's horrible..
Would be interested to see how a dam made of like stones packed with sand would hold 🤔 would it collapse faster or slower? What about the aftermath 🤔
Nce idea! I will think about it
Do it
Great your video i'm your big fan. I subscribe without problem because i love your video
I am so glad to hear it, my friend! Welcome aboard!
You could play an electric guitar to cells dividing and it would be epic.
Wow.. :)
this is actually a good informational and educational channel on weathering, with the addition of legos which can appeal to a younger audience. the music is fine, overall i give it a 9/10 for scool use.
I am very glad you think so!
The girl on the ladder was simultaneously the closest and furthest from death the whole time.
Agree with you :)
Okay so this one weirdly made me wonder what would happen if all that water was acetone, besides possibly causing brain damage from all the fumes.
It could still be a sewer break from a city of millions..
I remember getting a rash because I’d wash motor oil off my hands with acetone so it would definitely mess you up quicker than water. You’d go into cardiac arrest before brain damage because the fumes would definitely displace the oxygen and your diaphragm would give out. I had another job where I accidentally pumped chlorine into a carboy (15 gallon jug) of hydrochloric acid! It basically makes mustard gas 😬 it literally smoked out of the top hole I was pumping the hose to because of the chemical reaction and it puffed right in my face as soon as the chlorine made contact. When I breathed in that little itty bitty bit on accident I almost passed out right there. It was so hard to hit the shut off valve on the hose and get my bearings straight. chemicals are hardcore! NEVER WORK IN AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT REGARDLESS OF THE PAY. There can be dangers to jobs obviously but I’ve seen some major osha violations that I’ve just worked around bc I got decent pay
that beat drop was nasty 💯
Sorry
If I ever have to go out in flood like this, I want it to be to a blistering guitar solo too. 🤘🤘🤘
Hahaha xD
This song slaps at 2x speed.
I loved this channel and I still do
Oh my friend, I am so glad to hear it!
@@KingOfDams the king actually replied!
Imagine the guy on the top of the dam doing a sick guitar solo while the city is being wasted
Lol :)
You should make a town, with a dam set up ready and operational.... then have a landslide in the dam reservoir and cause a mini tsunami to topple the dam.
Would need to be a fairly big set up...but if i can think it im sure you could build it.
Salute !
Hello! It looks very difficult, but I will think about how to do it..
That brave ginger woman. Smiling thru all the pain and hurt. What a trooper
Agree with you! :)
The child in me is laughing right now! As a kid, I built houses out of pranks of wood we had for fire kindling.
Make small towns and villages, took my sister's doll house furniture and got all my action figures together to create a scenario.
We had this huge metal bucket that I filled up and just splashed down on my town, I don't know why but was enamoured by how everything collapsed and washed away carried by the water. 😆 it was also fun to try and find all my toys and props later on where the water left it.
Thank you very much for such an interesting and kind comment, my friend!
@@KingOfDams it looks more like a tsunami then a flood😮
This moment was crazy, I used to live there, I lived in the house on the top right and for years people said I was crazy, years after moving there my house would be one of the last standing and I had a ocean front property.
Wow.. :D
The music for this video was freaking sick!! 😎👍🏻🎧🥁🎸
our prayers go out to those who lost their lives I still remember where I was when this happend🙁🙁
It is so dramatic..
this mans water bill must be in the millions
Zero :) Rainwater
@@KingOfDams how much rain
@@loser_account4995 a lot apparently
This is actually invaluable as a demonstration to civil engineering students.
I was so invested in ladder lady's survival.
Me too :)
I'm actually impressed by how long the dam just made out of sand held up.
Me too!
That day, everyone fell into the river in Lego City.
So dramatic day..
Props to the girl on the ladder who survived the whole thing
Agree with you
loving that guitar music at the end there.. Gonna check them out
Who would've thought the buildings nearest to the dam would be the safest.
I was surprised by this too..
Water flows downhill and seeks to level. They’re not save because they’re closer, they’re saved because they’re higher up.
lego minifigures in this video: this is fine
Lol xD
I love how the beat is synchronized as the lego falls
I am very glad you noticed it!
my heart goes out to all of those who lost thier lego lives! :) great vid Thanks
Thank you very much!
Destroy!! Destroy!! Destroy!!
Yesss! :D
O-oi, yee!
I have been informed through the news that all individuals managed to survive the devastating tsunami. In light of this distressing event, I wish to extend my heartfelt love and care to those who have been impacted by this natural disaster. My thoughts are with the affected communities as they navigate through these challenging times. May they find strength, support, and solace in the face of adversity, and may the assistance and aid provided by various organizations and individuals aid in their recovery and rehabilitation efforts. Let us stand together in unity and compassion during this difficult period. ❤️❤️
So cool! :D
It was a dark day indeed for the city of Legopolis, may the survivors go on to live long happy lives.
I agree with you..
Awesome, how the transits of music fits perfect to the happenings.
I am very glad you noticed it my friend
turned out like lego tsunami🌊
Yes xD
You know the blue house with the green door the only one that didn’t get flood insurance lmao
Lol xD
YOU SHOULD ALSO MAKE A FULL TIMELAPSE STILL CAMERA! AWESOME VIDDD
Thank you! I'll think about it my friend
I absoliutely love the music transitions sycd with the event timeline lol
I am very glad you noticed it!
Legend has it that she's still on that ladder.
Lol :)
I love how some sand is just falling on the dam in the background.
I am glad you like it!
What do u expect? Sand has a natural repose angle of around 30 degrees. That dam is like 85 degrees - it was held together likely by capillary waterr pressure (aka suction pressure) as it was a bit damp, inducing high effective stress. But when fully saturated in water, all the capillary effect is lost and the hydrostatic (aka water ) pressure increases, inducing a lost in the effective stress that keeps the sand matrix together, once the effective stress reaches a limit lower than the bearing load, the sand matrix breaks apart and the sand slides down to a more stable matrix. That's science of soil mechanics for you.
At least aquaman will have some houses to buy now
Hahaha xD
Only king dam can like this cuz comment cuz his king
Like :)
Uh thnx bro
:)
Yeah another amazing upload
I am glad you like it, my friend
Omg that one guy out front that just laid down when the foam took him was a genius!!!
Agree with you :)
Somehow satisfying and sad at the same time😢
The way they get hit
Agree with you..
what a nice looking town...I sure hope nothing bad happens to them :>
Hahaha :)
Lol, the water was so strong it moved some of the buildings! 😂 Great videos as always!
Thank you so much, dear friend!
Interesting to see this, I lived in an island a city under sea level that would be destroyed like this eventually due to rising sea levels
You know what breaks my heart, lego boats not being able to float
Hahaha :D
