Do a mega project on Simon Whistlers youtube enterprise.
Simon is the only person I know that has 8 Channels and is active on all of them basically. that takes dedication
"How are we going to finish this?"
Lmao
Pre-1900, if you don't need a mass grave, is it really a megaproject?
1:50
I always wonder what the environmental impact was of suddenly letting Mediterranean species flow into the Indian Ocean and vice versa. Must have been a lot of invasive species, in an era when humans didn't have much concept of that or any good way to monitor it under the sea.
Simon a nice Megaproject would be the German Nucleur plan when they planned to use heavy water to build atomic bombs in WW2.
Great show. The context is some of your best (I never thought about the alternate routes)
A good idea for a mega project would be the Arctic Convoy’s during WW2.. they were pretty horrifying, especially PQ17.
I'd heard of the canal back when I was a kid in school but never really thought much about it other than its place on the globe.
A weak little statue holding a torch?!
Remember going trough it several times on Navy ships while I was in the Marines, always a tense moment.
Good video. Btw, the base of the statue that was planned for Port Said still exists. The citizens of Port Said are still waiting for the statue lol
the business blaze smirk came out for a second, but Simon contained himself.
Time went so fast that we just forgot that a damn container ship blocked it
Really loving your videos. Great in the background while I work...though somewhat difficult, having to look up every 20 seconds for an extra nugget of brilliant info.
I'm knew to your channel and I have been watching for about 2 weeks now and I have to say that I absolutely love your effin channel!! I have been watching the "Real Engineering" channel for a long time but you bring something to your channel the other one doesnt. Your awesome personality. Every episode at some point I'm laughing my ass off and in my opinion there's nothing better then learning and laughing at the same time! Now I'm not knocking Real Engineering at all I love that channel too, but he explains stuff in a much more engineering/nerdy way and I also very much enjoy that but this is now my new favorite channel. Military,Space and Submarine engineering are my absolute favorite and there is plenty of that on this channel. Thank you Simon for doing this and being such a hilarious and kick a$$ dude! p.s.. arw you going to do a video on the space shuttles?
The lesson to take away from ancient construction projects is that you don't need that much technology to build incredible things. All you need is an infinite number of human workers and a total disregard for their lives.
The explanation of future use in regards to cargo (oil) is appreciated.
