It would be great if the B1M team could do a behind the scene video. I would LOVE to see what happens, how you pick your topics, the people who are involved and how you put the videos together.
I’ve got to say, I’m not usually pro these kinds of large-scale construction projects out in the natural world like this, but seeing as it’s just a tunnel and will have very minimal impact on the surrounding area and will massively cut down on emissions produced by vessels and transport time, it seems like a really great idea and I really hope that the project is able to go ahead as scheduled. This truly is a thousand year endeavour in the making.👌🏼
I agree, but.......... What happens with all the engine fumes? If they just vent into the tunnel, with 5 big ships per hour running on marine grade heavy fuels, that's a hell of a health risk to anyone working in there or on board. Why not have electric mules (ala Panama canal) to pull ships through and cut emissions even further?
@@a.cyclist probably fans/ventilations. There are long tunnels for cars in Norway that need to have working fans/ventilation because of emition from all the cars.

@@sjoroverpirat It is, and the summers are great, but they're too short. I used to live in eastern Norway, and the summers were quite long, but here in Trondheim they are painfully short. Annual average sunlight hours are less than other parts of Europe and the world, and even fewer if we consider that a lot of those precious hours are wasted because we sleep at night while the sun's still up.
I wonder if there's been a study done on the overall effects of the tunnel on water flow throughout the region. For instance, would tidal effects produce an enormous current through the tunnel that could push/pull ships to a point where their engines couldn't compensate? Could massive in or out flow through the tunnel cause ecological issues in certain areas? Are there whales in the area? Would they start using the tunnel? Would collisions between them and ships occur?
No projects are ever approved in Norway without first going through many years of bureaucracy steps including all kinds of research. There is no way that they have NOT thought of all of that ;) Reports from the investigations performed in this case are by the public domain and published online.
I really like your more comedic presentation with all the puns. Have you seen a Mission Impossible recentlly or why these Tom Cruise .......... OMG ... Tom CRUISE!!! Or god, this whole video is one big pun, when you include Tom in it!! Great job mate!! Now I like this video even more!!!

Mission Impossible? One man. One pickaxe. ONE MONTH! Follow Tom Cruise, digging a tunnel... FOR CRUISE SHIPS! Inn the heart rasing new movie. Cruise Digging For Cruise Comming to a cinema near you.
In this case it will only be about 60km less travel. I think the main issue is that coastal ships can avoid the open ocean between Bergen an Ålesund. 16000 tons isn't THAT big though. Very few cruise ships will fit.
@@x1achilles99 Yeah but Hurtigruta will. Those are the norwegian cruise ships that travels the entire coast of Norway every day, and pretty much the only cruise ships in that specific area
@@mastertrams the Norwegian landscape is quite hard to get thru(or will take a long time) that tunnel is going to save hours on hours on that boat trip i guess
in pictures you show there are some small houses around one end of the tunnel, living all quiet and peaceful and stuff, and now a bunch of heavy machinery and big ships come along, I wonder what are they thoughts on the tunnel
I'd love to see you do a video on the developments in Leeds inc the South bank, Citu Living & Holbeck projects. The entire south side of the city centre is been redeveloped including new business centres, community spaces and a huge eco friendly housing district!
Norway: We've finished our incredible tunnel to allow cruise ships to pass under entire mountains. Global Warming: [sea levels rise 2 feet] Norway: Well bugger
1:33 "The tunnel will be big enough for ships up to 16000 tons to pass through". But not the ship shown in the video, which quite frankly, is about 10 metres too wide to fit.
When I visited Norway 11 years ago and talked to some of the children I found several wanted to be tunnel builders like their parents. For Norway has been tunneling for years since their west coast is the “Alps” at sea level. For Norway, tunnel building is an art form and solves many problems. This project just takes it to another level. Good fortune!
I'm going to go out on a limb and imagine that any engineering problem raised in a UA-cam comment, is probably something that a large team of expert engineers on a years long project, have probably considered.
@@justinbouchard You're Canadian. Why on Earth would you want a Norwegian infrastructure project to fail? This won't be just for the tourism industry, it will make journeys faster, safer and newly feasible for other forms of shipping too. If you think it will be a waste of resources in economic terms and won't pay for itself, then you're naive. Or are you just being pro-actively xenophobic on another nations behalf?
@@UnknownSquid Honestly thank you for such a real response! Definitely far and few between in a comments section. I will accept the naive judgement. I'm not xenophobic, at least consciously. I am however going to admit to my completely uneducated comment. I guess I just didn't assume somewhere in Europe didn't have efficient logistics figured out yet. If it was just built for tourism, I would probably hold my argument of waste of resources. My firm belief of mass tourism is that it should not happen anywhere on the planet. It's hard enough to get local communities almost everywhere to be sustainable and clean. Let alone having a bunch of tourists just coming to hang out. This might be uneducated as well but, I feel like Norway is smarter than Canada. So I couldn't imagine it wanting a bunch of tourism to come and trample all over it.
As long as people don't vote left next election we will see a lot of projects like these come to fruition. The left wants to cancel most of the subsea highway unfortunately.
Ah Norway (Norge) My mother country,... family in Stavanger,... Oslo,... and a few in Holland.... Such a beautiful place. Will be heading back next year,... might just stay...who knows!
No Danger. The water isn't deep enough, the Ever Given will run aground just trying to approach the tunnel. As if that matters because the tunnel is planned to be less than half the width of the Ever Given.
I'd say this is actually much easier to fix in this project? Boats as big as Ever Given won't be allowed since the tunnel is not so big, and even if the crew makes a mistake and hit a wall, it's much easier to just bring another ship if needed and help it get out.
I know how the artwork is conceptual, but I cannot believe that the planners of this idea are going to let ships travel in this tunnel under their own power. I believe that there will have to be "tug locomotives" (like at the Panama Canal) to keep ships centered in the channel and to move them along safely. They are also going to need to think about how to control traffic arriving and accumulating at each end the tunnel for passage. Once built it's going to be quite a remarkable feat! Go Norge!
@@burger9997 Depth is not the only concern. From what I've gathered the main cause of the Ever Given was SIDE drafts. I'm sure the engineers at charge are quite capable to take that into consideration.
@@McRatinHouse The tunnel seem to be placed in a area with very little side draft problems. The tunnel is also only 1700 meters long so it's a short trip, but saving nearly 2 hours of travel.
@@scoobiusmaximus9508 except that it doesn't work that way. Not all water everywhere rises and falls at the same time at the same rate. Not to mention there are currents to deal with. The currents on the inner fjord might be lower than the outer and when connected, the water might force it's way through the tunnel at a rate that will render it useless. It might change the whole eco system in the area.

I have no idea what "dislike be from the suez cannal" means. I'll assume you meant to spell canal not cannal.
what a beautiful place. words, pics, video im sure give zero justice
If this “mission impossible” works
OK, You had my curiosity, now you have my attention
This is amazing !! Norway really is doing some pioneering work there 👏 Great video as always!
Now we just nead to build it all .......he..he(nervus laughter)
Thanks!
I love you Norway beautiful natural beautiful clean rich country Norway 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
Ja mannen
Psssh, the doctors across the Mediterranean sea will hear that and come look :(
@@PROVOCATEURSK Chill dude, Norway has very strict immigration laws these days ;)
I really like your more comedic presentation with all the puns. Have you seen a Mission Impossible recentlly or why these Tom Cruise .......... OMG ... Tom CRUISE!!! Or god, this whole video is one big pun, when you include Tom in it!! Great job mate!! Now I like this video even more!!!
So informative, don’t know why i’m interested but I am - I feel like this is the kind of reporting we use to get on the news back in the day. Subscribed 🧡
the humor in this video is just great! trophy for another super great B1M video!
I'm here just skipping my online lecture 😅
Me delaying my work due tomorrow 😂
The heart should not be taken as an endorsement for missing out on your education.
what class are you skipping?
Don't blow off too many classes; at the same time, "education" takes on many forms, and this channel is clearly one.
This was very informative, thank you. I love and appreciate all the puns, they were classic and fantastic!
Evergreen: 'canals are hard to cross due to winds'. Norway: hold my beer...
A new memes potential
*Hold my brunost...
Is that what caused the ship to be stuck in the Suez? Crosswinds? That's a huge ship, the winds must have been insanely strong.
@@olliefoxx7165 huge ship have huge surface area. Their side is flat perfect for catching winds
No no no its hold my dane axe
I'm about to eat coz it's break-fasting time here, but my fav channel just drop a new video so here I am
me too
where are you from? seems like from asia
Same
I am from Bangladesh.
B1M is the real Breakfast of Champions!
He said "burrow" the idea, not borrow. I caught that voice over man, very clever. 😂
Missed that. Thanks!
holy crap this sounds awsome
Now how many Tom Cruises would be needed for manpower with that big project
One, can easily dig the tunnel in studio with no time.
Mission Impossible?
One man. One pickaxe. ONE MONTH!
Follow Tom Cruise, digging a tunnel... FOR CRUISE SHIPS!
Inn the heart rasing new movie.

Comming to a cinema near you.
@@MrJacobElias Hahahahaha
Dont know how many Tom Cruises but I know it would need one Chuck Norris..With one of his hands tied behind his back..🙂
The power of Scientology will carve a hole in the cliff
1:35 I live here and yet always say it: Norway is such a beautiful country, amazing scenery.
3:28 imagine all the impossible things you can accomplish with 108 million Tom Cruises
**106 million
:)
I believe that was the genesis of the movie Oblivion (2013)
@limpan if you take off the 1+ inch tall shoes Cruise wears and measure the actual height it LL be 108M.. hope that was a decent come back!!😅
1 Mission Impossible is more that enough thanks
@@whatnow9288 The measurement was weight (tonnes), not height.
Thanks to this video, I learned that one Tom Cruise is about 75.5 liter or 16.6 gallon.
Just making the journey through that tunnel in any ship will be amazing.
it's always amazing how small tunnels like these end up reducing travel distances for ships by thousands of kilometers
You are not the brightest bulb on the christmas tree, are you?
One word: planning
@@IIISentorIII Well the vikings dragged their boats so sometimes different solutions can be more pragmatic
In this case it will only be about 60km less travel. I think the main issue is that coastal ships can avoid the open ocean between Bergen an Ålesund.
16000 tons isn't THAT big though. Very few cruise ships will fit.
@@x1achilles99 Yeah but Hurtigruta will. Those are the norwegian cruise ships that travels the entire coast of Norway every day, and pretty much the only cruise ships in that specific area
Lets go Norway!! All luck from someone from Sweden!! You rock! :)
Yes we do🥰
Thanks
Well, Norway must be made of rock... What else would the Norwegians be digging through?
@@mastertrams the Norwegian landscape is quite hard to get thru(or will take a long time) that tunnel is going to save hours on hours on that boat trip i guess
@@okustupid8432 piss off. will never ever happen!
Please your the only one who can help me spread the message
Now this is truly interesting, it’s an over the top idea 💡
Cashier: "cash or card?"
Me: "Do you take Tom Cruise's here?
Norway is doing some epic construction projects. They really think on a grand scale.
Except where we really need it, like a better road through Oslo or bridge across the outer Oslo fjord where people actually live and travel.. :p
in pictures you show there are some small houses around one end of the tunnel, living all quiet and peaceful and stuff, and now a bunch of heavy machinery and big ships come along, I wonder what are they thoughts on the tunnel
They are probably crying out of joy knowing the value of their homes will skyrocket
@@joweydelanota7421 more likely crash down, nobody wants to live next to a busy street or a railroad, let alone a shipping canal
I wondered the same thing. Could be a farm ranch that has been in the same family for generations.
@@darius2640 according to who? You?
A canal is not a street and you can expect a port built in the near future to attract tourism
you do a great job bro keep it up great videos
I'd love to see you do a video on the developments in Leeds inc the South bank, Citu Living & Holbeck projects. The entire south side of the city centre is been redeveloped including new business centres, community spaces and a huge eco friendly housing district!
Now I have the image of millions of screaming, angry Tom Cruises being carried away in excavation trucks.. Thanks B1M
He's yelling at construction workers for not wearing their masks.
Norway: We've finished our incredible tunnel to allow cruise ships to pass under entire mountains.
Global Warming: [sea levels rise 2 feet]
Norway: Well bugger
Not necessarily. A clever system of shipping locks might save the day after all.
My thinking exactly, well maybe submarines can use it then.lol
They built the tunnels in reality; not in your leftist fantasy.
haha.. excactly my thinking.. also human smuggling crossed my mind.
Local sea levels change all the time, the weather and tides make sure of that.
Imagine the one guy trying to paddle through the tunnel, only to face a cruise at the end..
hahah xD underrated comment
1:33 "The tunnel will be big enough for ships up to 16000 tons to pass through". But not the ship shown in the video, which quite frankly, is about 10 metres too wide to fit.
This is 'Off the Chain', Epic Engineering!
Norway is my dream land i hope one day visit this lovely country 🌷
Puns were on point today haha !
Haha, you’re welcome!
Has anyone thought of the tides? I live near the Cape Cod canal, and the tide flow through that canal is brutal.
Everyone: This is awesome!
Ever Given Captain: *starts sweating*
Hold my beer , !
Good job👍👍
You: I can't wait to see the fjords in Norway
You on cruise: are we out of the tunnel yet?
When I visited Norway 11 years ago and talked to some of the children I found several wanted to be tunnel builders like their parents. For Norway has been tunneling for years since their west coast is the “Alps” at sea level. For Norway, tunnel building is an art form and solves many problems. This project just takes it to another level. Good fortune!
Amazing Channel! Looking forward to visiting Norway 🇳🇴
I hope that they have checked that the tide level is the same at both ends of the tunnel.
I'm going to go out on a limb and imagine that any engineering problem raised in a UA-cam comment, is probably something that a large team of expert engineers on a years long project, have probably considered.
@@UnknownSquid I honestly hope not. I truly hope this is a huge failure. Major waste of resources for stupid global tourists.
@@justinbouchard You're Canadian. Why on Earth would you want a Norwegian infrastructure project to fail? This won't be just for the tourism industry, it will make journeys faster, safer and newly feasible for other forms of shipping too. If you think it will be a waste of resources in economic terms and won't pay for itself, then you're naive. Or are you just being pro-actively xenophobic on another nations behalf?
@@UnknownSquid Honestly thank you for such a real response! Definitely far and few between in a comments section.
I will accept the naive judgement. I'm not xenophobic, at least consciously. I am however going to admit to my completely uneducated comment. I guess I just didn't assume somewhere in Europe didn't have efficient logistics figured out yet. If it was just built for tourism, I would probably hold my argument of waste of resources. My firm belief of mass tourism is that it should not happen anywhere on the planet. It's hard enough to get local communities almost everywhere to be sustainable and clean. Let alone having a bunch of tourists just coming to hang out.
This might be uneducated as well but, I feel like Norway is smarter than Canada. So I couldn't imagine it wanting a bunch of tourism to come and trample all over it.
Really hoping this comes together.. As i live in norway lol.
As long as people don't vote left next election we will see a lot of projects like these come to fruition. The left wants to cancel most of the subsea highway unfortunately.
@@fireborn2nn bs, SP is for making more roads just as much as frp. The left coalition would win anyway this year so I would have voted for sp
Ah Norway (Norge) My mother country,... family in Stavanger,... Oslo,... and a few in Holland.... Such a beautiful place. Will be heading back next year,... might just stay...who knows!
If you thought the Ever Given sideways on Suez was bad; then this will be a whole other level 😅
No Danger. The water isn't deep enough, the Ever Given will run aground just trying to approach the tunnel. As if that matters because the tunnel is planned to be less than half the width of the Ever Given.
I'd say this is actually much easier to fix in this project? Boats as big as Ever Given won't be allowed since the tunnel is not so big, and even if the crew makes a mistake and hit a wall, it's much easier to just bring another ship if needed and help it get out.
@@VanganPL Tunnel walls???
Check the size of the ship vs the tunnel. The ship dwarves the tunnel (makes the tunnel look tiny).
I know how the artwork is conceptual, but I cannot believe that the planners of this idea are going to let ships travel in this tunnel under their own power. I believe that there will have to be "tug locomotives" (like at the Panama Canal) to keep ships centered in the channel and to move them along safely. They are also going to need to think about how to control traffic arriving and accumulating at each end the tunnel for passage. Once built it's going to be quite a remarkable feat! Go Norge!
The tunnel will be deep enough that an evergreen incident cant happen
@@burger9997 Depth is not the only concern. From what I've gathered the main cause of the Ever Given was SIDE drafts. I'm sure the engineers at charge are quite capable to take that into consideration.
@@McRatinHouse The tunnel seem to be placed in a area with very little side draft problems.
The tunnel is also only 1700 meters long so it's a short trip, but saving nearly 2 hours of travel.
This channel is so awesome.
The water level has to be in a range for the ships to go through. Curious how they maintain the water level ?
Presumably they just build the tunnel at a water level that works during low tide and put the ceiling high end that ships don't hit it at high tide.
@@scoobiusmaximus9508 except that it doesn't work that way. Not all water everywhere rises and falls at the same time at the same rate. Not to mention there are currents to deal with. The currents on the inner fjord might be lower than the outer and when connected, the water might force it's way through the tunnel at a rate that will render it useless.
It might change the whole eco system in the area.
Greetings from your neighbor Finland !

Video from 1:30 is from Kotor in Montenegro (South Europe) :)
This is simply amazing. Once again Norway is leading the world.
If anyone can do this, it's the Norwegians!! Amazing people!!
Thank you sir
dad jokes, puns AND science! the definitive channel for all things :)
i have now added a Tom Cruise as a unit of measurement in my CAD package.
I noticed that AutoCAD has astronomical units, one of these days I'll have draw a scale model of the solar system!
I love how he use Tom Cruise as comparison
I live in the middle of this route and this is the first I'm hearing about it lol, sounds pretty cool though!
I wish i could get a heart from b1m
