Concrete is BAD ASS

Another bad ass concrete thing is the German flak towers! They were highly resistant to air attack and artillery, just like Fort Drum. 8 of them were made, only 1 was ever destroyed, and that wasn't until after the war, AND it took 2 to 3 demolition attempts to get it done. The other 7 still stand today.
(Note: I say 2 to 3 cause the main flak tower page says 2, but then the specific tower page, zoo tower, says 3 so... )
That is so sturdy stuff!
“I’ve never been shot at by giant naval vessels”
FINALLY a vtuber I can relate to xD
i am the MOST relatable hehe
It wasn't until 1992 during Desert Storm that the US created a bomb out of a gun barrel capable of penitrating that much concrete.
And yes, the chubby electron guy has a video on it.
It was sand concrete sand concrete sand bunker Iraqi design
Roof thickness is *20 feet* , walls are *25* to *36* feet wide, and turret thickness is *18* inches.
Boat is literally Yamato-proof before Yamato even came out in 1937
And had steel plates on top of the concrete to boot lol
Damn right,my man!@@cptmiller132
11:47 Concrete is just incredibly resistant to impacts, since it has so much compressive strength. Reinforce it with steel, and you can shoot at it all day.
the Concrete was also 25-30 feet thick
Reinforced with steel and then they layered steel plates on top* of the concrete lol
It's invincible not invisible 😂
There was another reactor who also thought it said invisible, instead of invincible.
@@emperorconstantine1.361 I've actually seen 3 in total make that error.
@@paddywop918 HAHAHA!!! If one just glanced at the title, I suppose I could see that being a thing!
More fat electrician, let's go!
Concrete gets harder and harder over time even if it's under water
FDR ordered Gen MacArthur to leave the Philippines. Otherwise he probably wouldn’t have left.
You can actually put wet concrete under water and it will "cure" or "dry"
My dude you gotta watch the story of America's greatest war horse ssgt reckless
The other thing you have to remember is generally speaking explosions from detonating ordinance tends to like to go in the directions of least resistance - which is in all directions except into where the concrete and steel is. You'd need specialty bombs and shells designed for armour-piercing that purposely direct all their force into your target in as confined a cone or beam as possible. Or you need bombs that are themselves heavy enough and thick enough for the whole thing to punch through the concrete/ground. With steel-reinforced concrete that is as thick as this fortress is, there aren't any bombs or shells created yet at this particular time in the war that CAN punch through, and directed detonations for armour-piercing has so far only been developed to deal with the pure steel armour of tanks or requires charges be manually placed directly onto the surface. And again, even these directed munitions are nowhere near powerful enough to punch through an absolutely solid 25-30 feet of steel-reinforced concrete.
It's easier to think of this fortress as the concrete protection akin to that of modern day nuclear reactors. And an entire jet aircraft was once crashed at 500mph into such a wall to test it's strength and there was barely a dent in the wall afterwards, whilst the aircraft basically came as close as it's possible to atomizing. They've also tested such walls with even the most powerful armour-piercing missiles we have today and the test wall survived with not much of a dent. So even modern-day munitions short of a nuke would probably have an extremely hard time taking out that fortress ... and I question if the nuke would be enough either unless it was basically detonated ON the damn thing.
21:30 The turrets had been sabotaged.
The Panama canal was also where the Army found out how people get Malaria and how to medically fight it.
The Panama Canal was built before nukes were a thing, so that was never a consideration.
Gasp! He touched the butt!
:o
Germans us a lot or rebar in their bunkers' design by Tot
Grape jelly!? Lmao! O'no...
Imperial Japan was on par in brutality with the Mongolians if not worse
So, is Rave like...actually kinda based? I mean I hope so I like him, big bottom energy but it would be cool if he were actually based.
I am the MOST BASED, I am like so basic....wait no not that! dang it
12:55 na this was military grade concrete baby XD
it's basically magic and much more dangerous than anything else and you can tell it's better because it's military grade and no amount of reminding anyone it's made by the lowest bidder will ever convince the people or politicians that normal concrete is better due to standards and regulations being higher than cheapest order/highest bribe. XD
this is sarcasm, XD is in fact a face meant to indicate don't take it seriously. alternatives could also be :D, :P, >= 3.
LMAO
Disturbing that the us hasn't reclaimed it.
Well, it was given to the Philippines, an the insides are fucked up, so unless the Philippines want to rebuild it, nothing will happen with the USS no go
