back in the 1880s when Big Ben was young, you could hear the clock for 20 miles, but when cars became more of a thing, you can hear him for about a mile.
The guy that says the bells should still ring isn't considering the welfare of the workers carrying out the project. It would be disruptive to the renovation project because the workers would have to cover their ears every 15 minutes to allow the clock to strike the bells. It would also be a risk to their safety.
@@lucindapeart6233 When I visited London, I hoped for Big Ben. I imagined it bigger. Instead I saw some medium sized, covered tower. Only Big Ben by theory, but didnt look like in movies and pictures. Not at all
Ma Xinne you probably replied to the wrong comment but to your question the answer is that the mechanism did not get damaged during the war so it kept on chiming even during the war
The bell signifies the survival of Britain. As long as it rings British people are free. Interesting that it's chime stopped at the same time as covid.
Of course, London can never, ever be the same without Big Ben, and the sound of the biggest clock, I've ever seen in my entire life, is music to my ears.
At 1890, it was even more high pitched because the tower was just built. At 1930, it might be rusting a bit but still healthy and loud. At 1990, it’s our tower

“London wouldn’t be London without it”
Truer words have never been spoken
I submit that the World would not be the same without it.

Of course, London can never, ever be the same without Big Ben, and the sound of the biggest clock, I've ever seen in my entire life, is music to my ears.
At the timestamp 4:59, three bells rang after the quarter bell.
Because it is the 3 quarter chimes
Yeah I watched a vid about it after.
Ok
The big ben looks great
2:13 BONG!!!!
To be honest Britain is just a great place don’t lie
Na it ain’t
Not anymorw
I’ve been hearing a lot of complaints especially about london and it’s pretty sad... I guess it’s just not as great as it used to be
3:14 POWERFUL
1:32 i noticed the music is like the clock chimes
Can anyone tell me when big ben is back chiming.
Sometime this year! I'm so impatient! 🥺
June 22, 2022
The bell itself has chimed more than 8.5(maybe even 9 million) times...
1859: Good clock cool!
2024: TITAN CLOCKMAN VS SININSTER
Yo Big Ben is a great clock and it’s almost done
0:00 :(
Aodhan Black Your right :(
You skipped 1960 to 2008, it would be cool if you also shown some footage between those years as well.
These people that disliked don't even know what is a big Ben
I want to see more about Big Ben looks like now
3:25 this was a few months after my sister was born
I like the first bell more than the second bell

3:57 quarter bells
wow
How come the sound of the bells changed over the year
I don’t know
because the pitch of them changes as the metal gets older for some reason
At 1890, it was even more high pitched because the tower was just built. At 1930, it might be rusting a bit but still healthy and loud. At 1990, it’s our tower
Thought it was the audio quality of the video? Like how old broadcasts and films sound off due to equipment available at the time and tape/film wear.
It’s just the quality of the old videos
Question to whomever knows....I see a Statue of an old man at 6:32 in front of he clock. Who is the statue of? Thanks.
