Yeah I agree I like this, the stupid ones with music not only show a 3 second clip BUT also don't let you know / captions what Country / Region it is in
God, you said it about the annoying music. So many people posting videos that are interesting and captivating enough on their own, feel obliged to accompany their videos with that mainstream "cheese-eater" appeasing music.
We should give some recognition and appreciation to those people who saw the cracks and other indications of imminent danger and got people out of harms way!
The driver knew there was no way in hell that road was gonna stay open after that, so they turned around before everyone else got the same idea and managed to avoid getting stuck in traffic. Smart.
Seriously the only driver with any sense there. I've seen enough videos of chemical plant explosions to know that that could just be leading up to suitcase-nuke levels of blast.
And on top of that it is a country with a horrible buildingcode, very poor supervision, incredibly corrupt contractors, the worst safety reputation, a huge disregard for human life because of the caste system, etc, etc, etc. In this list there are four more situations in the same country.
Well, not only that, if you look at the last one as well the foundation wasnt going in that deep, look at 34:24, those foundations dont look to be going any deeper than a meter. Even when you look at the 35:06 mark it looks like some of the foundation has collapsed, however questions should still be raised about its construction and how deep those foundations were put in for a building that high. That building also looks relatively new in itself. So someone definitely cut corners to put it up

The last video looks suspiciously like a tactic that's used around the world. When large developers want to put up a new building and surrounding property owners refuse to sell to them, they'll do whatever it takes to get what they want. Including "accidentally" damaging or destroying property. They're willing and able to eat the fines and compensation as most new developments are done by enormous multinational trillion dollar companies who can easily afford it. It's a sad reality.
That happened in the town I live in. Developers wanted two areas and shortly after the town council meetings both properties and their building went up in flames. One was a historic barn that was over 100 years old. That is no coincidence.
I used to live near the Oroville Dam and Ill never forget having to evacuate when we found out that the backup spillyway might fail.

@@truthsRsung it doesnt matter. you see a helicopter or an aircraft spooled up, you stay the fuck away. you dont just drive up to one and pass it, you sit there and gawk at it. No, you approach a running aircraft, you better be prepared to be bitten.

Sorry dude, that makes you a darwin award winner.
@@utley ...Yes, absolutely. Noone expects a giant food processor sitting at an intersection. No lights, sirens, police tape, or anyone waving their arms. Most important part, ya can't SEE the blades whirling around when it's running. You assume the threat is obvious, then why does the Narrator insist the truck driver ignored all warnings that the copter was there? There was No Warning, No Perimeter, and he didn't accidentally drive into an airport. The bird landed where trucks drive, not the other way around. All vehicles for the road have to follow laws that the helicopter can't. Like marker lights within two inches of the corners. Ask Bell, or Sikorski why they don't put lights on the ends of the rotors. It's cuz they don't license them for the Road. This is why we draw circles around an H and tell the flyboys where to park.
It never ceases to amaze me that all over the world, people live in all kinds of conditions some good and some bad; but no matter where you go they all have smart phones.. I find that very perplexing.

Hi there. I lived in Springville Utah in 1983 which is just south of Provo, or about 5 miles north of Spanish Fork Canyon. In 1983, a landslide took out an entire community named "Thissle" located in the Spanish Fork Canyon. It is now nicknamed "Thissle Lake" even though it's been drained since. When the landslide took place, it blocked off the Spanish Fork river causing the town to fill with water. It is now a national monument and still has the ruins that can be seen. Ive never seen any videos about this anywhere, just wondering if you can research it and do a video on it or involving it?
I remember my grandparents taking us up SF canyon to see the Thistle slide. Truly incredible to see. Looked like a glacier track if my memory recalls correctly.
The part where the guy drove the truck into the helicopter blades!!! How can you NOT see and hear the chopper? I mean when it’s fly above you you can easily hear it but it was sitting on the ground with its blades spinning which I imagine would be even louder… the truck drivers level of environmental awareness is shocking…. I’m glad nobody got Swiss cheesed up😂😂
I was visiting some family in the area during the Oroville Dam incident. It was pretty crazy to experience. Many people fleeing in fear. The hotel we were at offered to move us upstairs to avoid the water if it had collapsed. We opted to just leave.
24:10 Why the truck got so close to the helicopter? First ask why was the helicopter landed in an intersection with the blades spinning and the traffic flowing near it...
it was a stupid place for the helicopter, dangerous, there didnt seem to be any signs to prevent the truck, the truck driver may have thought why is there a helicopter left there and may not have seen the blades assuming who would be an idioyt to have them spinning this close to many vehicles....
@@neoaliphant The truck driver is the IDIOT, they drove right into the blade and caused VERY EXPENSIVE DAMAGE, the truck driver is a unmitigated buffoon.
Why does our narrator here play up signs, barricades, and a police perimeter, then crap down the medical waste haulers throat? Why the b.s. story when we have two eyes we see just fine with?
the stupid thing is having a running chopper at side highway, it only takes a truck to have a steer Tyre to blow out and chopper gone, and where was all the people protecting it i seen non as if they were the truck would not been able to turn there
@@stevekenilworth The failure here is the narrator to not be on the side of the truck driver, its the helicopter pilots, or more likely the local government who thought a helicopter landing there would be fine. There are no barricades or signs...
Regarding the demolition in Vordingborg, I'm a Dane and the guys who talked Danish to each other, talked about that when he asked the demo team, they told they didn't know how it was going to fall because something was too stiff and thus *very* unpredictable.
It's only rigid because it's a closed cylinder. They should've set charges or det cord to take the structure apart further up. There's a reason we use cylinders for chimneys!
The attached staircase would have had reinforcements. The doorframe should have been shattered/removed prior. You can see halfway thru the fall that these pieces are still completely inract
really interesting video! i love how you highlighted these crazy moments. but honestly, i think some of these failures could've been avoided with a bit more attention. like, are people really that careless sometimes? just something to think about!
Number 17 was not a sink hole. It's called an erosion on a bank of an overflowing river. Sink holes tend to be more circular in shape and are isolated from water bodies.
@@DoubleMonoLR I understand that, I'm a 70-year-old Vancouverite BC. All my life we Canadians here also call gasoline (petro) gas (the liquid) which is short for Gasoline... My point is it's the vapour of the gas that explodes not the gasoline. Catch my drift my Kiwi friend?
another great group of videos. i like the way you show where the event is on a map. brings a lot more to what is going on. you also only show events where people were gone - and only light injuries. thanks very much. it makes it scary, but not ugly. :) 🌷🌱
Locals could only watch in horror as all of the civil engineers, government officials and builders disappeared quicker than you can say how could this happen.
Thanks for yet another fascinating video! This must take a lot of work and editing. And, thanks for showing only those failures which didn't result in the loss of human life.
Minneapolis resident here. Metrodome collapse was in December 2010. We had two storms within 10 days when this happened. Around 17 inches one storm and another foot or so about a week later.
Something didn’t sound right to me about this, and I had trouble finding information. The dates in this video didn’t line up. Good to have a resident to clear this up!
That quick swerve at 7:15, pulling off that illegal turn and getting out of there, was definitely the standout moment. It’s rare to see someone with such quick reflexes and a sharp survival instinct in action!
wow, what an intriguing compilation! it's fascinating to see how things can go so wrong in just a moment. but honestly, I can't help but think that some of these failures might not be as catastrophic as they're portrayed. like, is it really a failure if people learn from it? sometimes, a little mishap can lead to even better outcomes in the long run. what does everyone else think?
On Tuesday, January 7, 2020, a few minutes before 12:00, at a railway crossing near Zbąszyń (Wierzchaczewo) Poland, there was an accident involving a passenger train and a truck with a low-bed trailer carrying an excavator. This recording appeared on the Internet, showing the moment of an attempt to avoid a lowered barrier at the last moment and its eventual damage, as well as the set entering a railway crossing, almost directly in front of an oncoming train. The truck driver explained that he was blinded by the sun. For this reason, he allegedly did not notice the lowered barriers, rammed them and entered the crossing. However, the PKP Management Board confirms that just before the incident, the crossing was fully operational and not only the lowered barriers were working, but also the warning lights. ua-cam.com/video/BOd2wR4-txw/v-deo.html
As said, he was driving too fast. There are multiple warning signs before a rail crossing for a reason. They are to warn you that you are coming up to one and to prepare to stop. There is ZERO reason for that drive to use the excuse of being blinded by the sun if he was doing the proper speed. More so when coming upto a curb before that rail crossing.
".....and a truck driver in Russia, who thought he could beat a speeding train"... Proceeds to show a Polish train and a Polish truck XD i know u are American, but c'mon..... its really not that hard to see that its not cyrylic alphabet, but a latin one... amazing journalistic talent
Thanks for not using super annoying music and talking over the entire videos like some other channels. You just give some brief context and then let the video play, that's how it should be done.
Correction No 17: That's not a sinkhole, that's due to severe river bank erosion. And its not in Capital Dhaka, it will be at the bank of big rivers like Padma, Meghna, etc. Those rivers come out with serious forces during the Monsoon in delta areas. Every year few hundred sq km goes under those rivers including hundreds of such buildings. Meanwhile bare land develops on the other banks.
This is awesome, very refreshing. I love that they added that I didn't just watch a ton of people die each time. I do wonder sometimes, why was someone filming in the first place? Before explosions I get, but why was someone filming the police helicopter sitting there?
the crane accident in Italy with the crawler crane lifting the viaduct, was not caused by the crane or the crane driver, but the engineers who calculated the lift, they negated to add the effects of wind to the lifting calculation for the load-centre radius in effect, and how wind generates extra lateral forces that will act at the height of the load as leverage, it was further not helped by the raised rearmost ballast moving towards the crane as it tilted

Sleep on how dumb it was to land on the road, while their buddies got to their sting operation in place, not at a park or a rooftop, but a ROAD.
@@truthsRsung it doesnt matter. you see a helicopter or an aircraft spooled up, you stay the fuck away. you dont just drive up to one and pass it, you sit there and gawk at it. No, you approach a running aircraft, you better be prepared to be bitten.
@@utley ...It does matter.
The truck driver saw a stopped vehicle in the road. He didn't drive into it.
You don't see anyone directing traffic, like this voucover keeps babbling on about, do you?
@@truthsRsung do YOU really need someone to direct traffic to avoid a spinning aircraft propeller that is directly in front of you? if you had a lick of common sense, you would know to avoid the big spinning heavy metal blades that would whip you up like an omelet. Sorry dude, that makes you a darwin award winner.
@@utley ...Yes, absolutely. Noone expects a giant food processor sitting at an intersection.
No lights, sirens, police tape, or anyone waving their arms.
Most important part, ya can't SEE the blades whirling around when it's running.
You assume the threat is obvious, then why does the Narrator insist the truck driver ignored all warnings that the copter was there?
There was No Warning, No Perimeter, and he didn't accidentally drive into an airport.
The bird landed where trucks drive, not the other way around.
All vehicles for the road have to follow laws that the helicopter can't. Like marker lights within two inches of the corners.
Ask Bell, or Sikorski why they don't put lights on the ends of the rotors. It's cuz they don't license them for the Road.
This is why we draw circles around an H and tell the flyboys where to park.

It never ceases to amaze me that all over the world, people live in all kinds of conditions some good and some bad; but no matter where you go they all have smart phones.. I find that very perplexing.
Smart phones yes. Common sense and regulations not so much! I feel so blessed that I wasn’t born in the 3rd world!!! 🙏
there are a lot of companies who offer smart phones for really cheap! they're not the best quality, but they're affordable or under affordable plans. (most of them aren't sold in first world countries, either, or don't sell very well at all.) traditional flip phones or button cell phones aren't really commonplace
Hi there. I lived in Springville Utah in 1983 which is just south of Provo, or about 5 miles north of Spanish Fork Canyon. In 1983, a landslide took out an entire community named "Thissle" located in the Spanish Fork Canyon. It is now nicknamed "Thissle Lake" even though it's been drained since. When the landslide took place, it blocked off the Spanish Fork river causing the town to fill with water. It is now a national monument and still has the ruins that can be seen. Ive never seen any videos about this anywhere, just wondering if you can research it and do a video on it or involving it?
Google Thistle Utah landslide, also tons of videos on UA-cam and other sites.
yep, video sounds a good idea
I remember Thistle. Used to drive through there years ago. 😢
I remember my grandparents taking us up SF canyon to see the Thistle slide. Truly incredible to see. Looked like a glacier track if my memory recalls correctly.

Gray car on the right: hmm.. on second thought, maybe I shouldn’t go to work today.
Aaahhhh things exploding...... right... im not going that way anymore
*"I'll say I was sick today."*
The part where the guy drove the truck into the helicopter blades!!! How can you NOT see and hear the chopper? I mean when it’s fly above you you can easily hear it but it was sitting on the ground with its blades spinning which I imagine would be even louder… the truck drivers level of environmental awareness is shocking…. I’m glad nobody got Swiss cheesed up😂😂
Very good video with casualty information and without annoying music. Keep up the good work 👍
A huge ball of fire down the street is a very impressive stop sign.
Even turn around sign. 😅
Ain't no one running that stop sign. Not even around here.
I was visiting some family in the area during the Oroville Dam incident. It was pretty crazy to experience. Many people fleeing in fear. The hotel we were at offered to move us upstairs to avoid the water if it had collapsed. We opted to just leave.

2:20 Kudos to the video guy for risking life and limb to keep the disaster in frame!
And pretty darn stable.

24:10 Why the truck got so close to the helicopter? First ask why was the helicopter landed in an intersection with the blades spinning and the traffic flowing near it...
it was a stupid place for the helicopter, dangerous, there didnt seem to be any signs to prevent the truck, the truck driver may have thought why is there a helicopter left there and may not have seen the blades assuming who would be an idioyt to have them spinning this close to many vehicles....
@@neoaliphant The truck driver is the IDIOT, they drove right into the blade and caused VERY EXPENSIVE DAMAGE, the truck driver is a unmitigated buffoon.
Why does our narrator here play up signs, barricades, and a police perimeter, then crap down the medical waste haulers throat?
Why the b.s. story when we have two eyes we see just fine with?
the stupid thing is having a running chopper at side highway, it only takes a truck to have a steer Tyre to blow out and chopper gone, and where was all the people protecting it i seen non as if they were the truck would not been able to turn there
@@stevekenilworth The failure here is the narrator to not be on the side of the truck driver, its the helicopter pilots, or more likely the local government who thought a helicopter landing there would be fine. There are no barricades or signs...

Thank you for not click baiting and actually having the thumbnail video be real ❤

Regarding the demolition in Vordingborg,
I'm a Dane and the guys who talked Danish to each other, talked about that when he asked the demo team, they told they didn't know how it was going to fall because something was too stiff and thus *very* unpredictable.
Should have made something more flexibly flaccid.😮.
And then he said "Shut up, that's going to be expensive!" 🤣
It's only rigid because it's a closed cylinder. They should've set charges or det cord to take the structure apart further up. There's a reason we use cylinders for chimneys!
The attached staircase would have had reinforcements. The doorframe should have been shattered/removed prior. You can see halfway thru the fall that these pieces are still completely inract
I've experienced a landslide. It's sounds like bombs exploding.
really interesting video! i love how you highlighted these crazy moments. but honestly, i think some of these failures could've been avoided with a bit more attention. like, are people really that careless sometimes? just something to think about!
Your 'instant regret fails' video was awesome! Thanks!
Number 17 was not a sink hole. It's called an erosion on a bank of an overflowing river. Sink holes tend to be more circular in shape and are isolated from water bodies.
#18: The gas didn't explode the vapor from the gas exploded.
@@BonyFingers1969 "gas" IS a vapour, Americans just call petrol/gasoline "gas"
@@DoubleMonoLR I understand that, I'm a 70-year-old Vancouverite BC. All my life we Canadians here also call gasoline (petro) gas (the liquid) which is short for Gasoline... My point is it's the vapour of the gas that explodes not the gasoline. Catch my drift my Kiwi friend?
another great group of videos. i like the way you show where the event is on a map. brings a lot more to what is going on.
you also only show events where people were gone - and only light injuries. thanks very much. it makes it scary, but not ugly. :) 🌷🌱
i find it funny the way the car just slowly turns into the other lane when the explosion happens
Your video is amazing, I really like it and I'm sure many others will too 👍
🤩 This video is beyond amazing, I’m incredibly impressed!
Oh damn, I thought the thumbnail was just supposed to be clickbaity and photoshopped but holy hell I was wrong. That is genuinely impressive
I agree.

Thanks for yet another fascinating video! This must take a lot of work and editing. And, thanks for showing only those failures which didn't result in the loss of human life.

Minneapolis resident here. Metrodome collapse was in December 2010. We had two storms within 10 days when this happened. Around 17 inches one storm and another foot or so about a week later.
Something didn’t sound right to me about this, and I had trouble finding information. The dates in this video didn’t line up. Good to have a resident to clear this up!
Shameful taxpayers money waste...
Bangladesh is in South Asia not Southeast Asia, and that was an example of riverbank erosion (quite common in Bangladesh) not a sinkhole.
My thoughts exactly.
Amazing video as always.
A channel reporting on disasters motivates me thank you
18:20 Correction: Medellín isn't the capital of Colombia, just the capital of Antioquia. Unless I'm misunderstanding?

That quick swerve at 7:15, pulling off that illegal turn and getting out of there, was definitely the standout moment. It’s rare to see someone with such quick reflexes and a sharp survival instinct in action!
I adore every humorous minute of this video.
I live in Minneapolis and remember the exact day when the Metrodome's roof collapsed. it was terrifying to see that on the news.
Yes it was.
And the I-35W bridge collapse
The collapse was in 2010, not 2013.
Better title for this video: 20 Catastrophic Failures Caught in India.
wow, what an intriguing compilation! it's fascinating to see how things can go so wrong in just a moment. but honestly, I can't help but think that some of these failures might not be as catastrophic as they're portrayed. like, is it really a failure if people learn from it? sometimes, a little mishap can lead to even better outcomes in the long run. what does everyone else think?

On Tuesday, January 7, 2020, a few minutes before 12:00, at a railway crossing near Zbąszyń (Wierzchaczewo) Poland, there was an accident involving a passenger train and a truck with a low-bed trailer carrying an excavator. This recording appeared on the Internet, showing the moment of an attempt to avoid a lowered barrier at the last moment and its eventual damage, as well as the set entering a railway crossing, almost directly in front of an oncoming train. The truck driver explained that he was blinded by the sun. For this reason, he allegedly did not notice the lowered barriers, rammed them and entered the crossing. However, the PKP Management Board confirms that just before the incident, the crossing was fully operational and not only the lowered barriers were working, but also the warning lights.
ua-cam.com/video/BOd2wR4-txw/v-deo.html
As said, he was driving too fast. There are multiple warning signs before a rail crossing for a reason. They are to warn you that you are coming up to one and to prepare to stop. There is ZERO reason for that drive to use the excuse of being blinded by the sun if he was doing the proper speed. More so when coming upto a curb before that rail crossing.
@@Ryanthusarthe sun still blinds you regardless of your speed, though.

I love the background info on where the disaster took place
Thanks for not using super annoying music and talking over the entire videos like some other channels. You just give some brief context and then let the video play, that's how it should be done.
@17:02 the smartest one in the group is the child. She turned to run as soon as there was a hint of trouble
Correction No 17: That's not a sinkhole, that's due to severe river bank erosion. And its not in Capital Dhaka, it will be at the bank of big rivers like Padma, Meghna, etc. Those rivers come out with serious forces during the Monsoon in delta areas. Every year few hundred sq km goes under those rivers including hundreds of such buildings. Meanwhile bare land develops on the other banks.

The crane operator's balls of steel were not factored into the load limit. This allowed him to both cause the accident and get away without liability.
Or the crane started moving while not commanded to back up.
That changes the CG, limits, and any reason make wild accusations.

the crane accident in Italy with the crawler crane lifting the viaduct, was not caused by the crane or the crane driver, but the engineers who calculated the lift, they negated to add the effects of wind to the lifting calculation for the load-centre radius in effect, and how wind generates extra lateral forces that will act at the height of the load as leverage, it was further not helped by the raised rearmost ballast moving towards the crane as it tilted
