      Hello Hello From Canada!!! I'm new to the channel, but these construction mistakes series episodes are what got me to subscribe. I love your format, because you seem to really do some true fact research, which is a relief to see. I wish I could have smashed the like button a hundred times to show how much I like them. Other channels usually just go for pictures or videos that give a good thumbnail, but no they don't provide any substance. I hope that makes sense. I will be looking for the next episode in this series, while I check out some more of your videos, so keep up the awesome work. Stay safe, stay healthy and I hope you are as happy as you possibly can be.
      🤘😁👍

    A while back I read an article about the Vasa ship that said that part of the building mistakes on it were that 2 different companies built the left and right sides of the ship and their measuring standards weren't quite the same, so one side was slightly longer than the other, making the ship a bit twisted, which further added to its instability, beyond adding the 2nd gun deck without increasing the ship's draft, thus making it incredibly top-heavy as you mentioned here.

    I saw the videos the morning of the accident. I am a structural contractor and watched it many times very closely to form my own opinion. While watching, I noticed one of the missing workers running for cover and smashed between the decks as they fell. with in 30 minutes of its release, I attempted to call the police stations, the fire department and the news stations to tell them where one of the missing workers were. None of them would pass me on and said they have professionals covering it. weeks later as they dismantled the building, they then covered the area with blankets.
    look at 4:40 and 5:08 you can see the guy running from the patio deck into a door opening as the deck collapsed on him. I have been haunted by this since....

    The inspector not actually inspecting anything and just signing off happens ALL THE TIME. I've seen it in just about every jurisdiction I've ever worked in. It all comes down to whether the inspector has had past experience with the contractor overseeing the job. If so, they will just sign off on the work without even a glance.

    I was a civil engineering student in 1981. Yes the walkway was studied intently . As for the Vasa I toured it in 2018. 95% of what you see is what went down in 1628. The raising and preservation of the wreck is an engineering fete of its own.

      Inspector(s), there was another one but was qualified to inspect this building as found in a news investigation. In fact the senior inspector had layered up before the dust settled. If you saw any pictures before they brought it down there was a blue tarp. There was a body trapped in the debris for all the time until they agreed on how to bring the building down.

    9:55 "But they didn't get there fast enough" -- no, I believe you got that incorrect. They were trying to "fill" the growing hole with dirt, but the leak was coming from the base and the sides -- it would not have worked at all even if they had done it sooner/faster.

    The walkway disaster was NOT an engineering disaster GIVEN THE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS. It was NEVER meant to be used as a dance floor. It was NEVER meant to have that many people on it.
    It was DESIGNED for foot traffic between the towers. PERIOD. The catastrophic events were 100% the fault of the operators.

    • @williamheyman5439
      @williamheyman5439 2 місяці тому +1

      I had a house built in the Sierra Nevada mountains with decks on the first and second story. I designed it but had a registered architect do the drawings. I was anticipating our son being married and everybody on the upper deck, looking at the view. So what was the planned load? 100 lbs per square foot. So you cannot plan on limited transit but have to plan on maximum loads. And being a hotel they should have planned for maximum loads. They had a bad plan. It does not make any difference what it was designed for. It has to withstand actual loads.

      Russell, did you pay attention to that part of the video that featured the Hyatt Regency collapse? The collapse did had something to do with the nuts. It had something to do with the load that the nuts were carrying, which was the second and forth floor walkways and a lot of people at the time of the collapse. So, it was the complete opposite of what you said in the first sentence of your comment. Besides, you ignored what Regis said. They did research the Hyatt collapse and part of what you're talking about was already showed IN the video at at 15:09, so you were wrong after all.
