You forgot to mention that the Tower of Pisa is not only tilted, it's also slightly curved, because architects tried to compensate the tilt by making one side of the upper floors taller.
@ilanamillion8942 Yes... When I was a child... My father was stationed in Germany... We traveled too many places... One was the "Leaning Tower of Pisa"... We walked up to the top of it... Doing the Tourist bit... It was a big spiral staircase for sure... Round and round...

I saw a shopping complex built in a Chinese community in Los Angeles. It was a huge corner complex at a major intersection. Working as a telecom tech back then, I saw all the faults of the structure. Sub basement walls were never waterproofed, resulting in year round wet walls and floors in the lower parking lot. The first level floor didn't have the proper concrete reinforcement so it sank when tenants started moving in with their equipment. Then I found out that this was the first concrete building this architect had ever designed in his career and yet it still passed the local city inspections. Someone's pocket got lined.

It's not necessarily a big mistake, but my parents lived in an apartment building up in Halifax Canada that had an empty pool on the roof. The engineers had accounted for the weight of everything needed for the pool except the water so it had to stay empty.
It's a relief that they caught the mistake just in time. That's scary. Did you know that a reason most cruise lines have a very shallow pool is simply because of the weight?

I was a bricklayer for 25yrs, if you don`t get your foundation right you`ll chase the mistake all the way through the roof, it works the same with people too, raise em up wrong and they`ll be a mess when they`re all grown up.
I believe that according to Korean culture the 10yr sentence weighs much heavier than it would elsewhere,it’s the public disgrace and humiliation that is the real punishment not just for those convicted but for their families as well…even the children of those convicted will not have a easy time of it,school life,social life and possibly future employment could be affected, and it’s not just about their personal lives but their reputations that is at stake and that’s why the 10yrs sentence can be devastating to those involved….
Considering the officials were so heavily involved in the disaster to the point of allowing such thing by taking bribes, one has to assume the convict did his best to strongarm the law to not get jail at all and whatever final results happened (him, his son, plus some officials jailed) only happened as a result of public outcry to show they were doing something at all. And considering they resold it for luxury build instead of letting a memorial be built on the land, it seems like the corruption/apathy towards public still remained in the administration post incident. So yeah ideally it should have been life sentence but this seems like a sentence that was given under pressure to dust the matter under rug and get people to shut up.
Sometimes, you don't expect much from YT, but I was pleasantly surprised by how many different angles we were shown the famous tower in Pisa. First time I've ever seen a bit of the surrounding town. Nice touch, whoever chose the clips and photos. Did not know the area around the tower was mostly open. Not lost in a city, almost a rural setting.
Pisa is a small town of less than 100k inhabitants. If you ever visit I suggest to save your legs and instead of climbing the tower have a visit to the adjacent cathedral, baptistery and camposanto (monumental graveyard), much more interesting in my opinion. Also worth a visit to the neighboring town of Lucca. And if you want to relax, it's very close to nice beaches on one side and hills on the other.
I got two for you: the Tacoma Narrows Bridge which collapsed 4 months after it was finished and the San Francis dam that collapsed 12 hrs after Mulholland inspected it and 450 people were killed.
According to Seconds from Disaster documentary, Sampoong's cracks isn't just from construction failure, but also accelerated it via the air conditioners, instead of using cranes to move them, the management orders a cheapter roller system to easily move it on the roof, right on top one of the straining column, 5E. It also comes from the vibration of turning on also contributes to the failure until collapse.
They also included a traditional Korean restaurant on the top floor, which required a much thicker and heavier floor (because it needed to be heated because traditionally they sit on the floor to eat), which added even more weight.
The day it collapsed they thought if they turned the ac units off everything would be okay. So it was filled with thousands of people and it was very hot and humid. I believe when they looked they saw that a column had punctured the rooftop
They overestimated the strength of the plexiglass . They may also have underestimated the chance that a second oil/gas crisis would reduce heating in the surrounding atrium (this was the first winter after gas imports became problematic). A few details: 1. The acrylic construction details were kept secret by the specialist supplier . 2. Although surrounded by a hotel, the tank and elevated were both part of a general "fish zoo" next door, with a special route for paying zoo guests to visit the 1000 to tropical tank . 3. Fish zookeepers rushed in to save as many fish as possible .
Climbing the Tower of Pisa in 1989 was terrifying! It is made of the famous white marble of Italy. The years of wear from oh so many feet climbing had rounded the steps a lot. The mid level balconies had no railing. It did not feel like the tower would fall. It felt like the light mist coating the slippery marble was going to lead to falling off. That 5.5 degrees lean meant standing still on that moist marble felt like a huge risk. I love heights, but I was thrilled to touch the dirt again.
As someone from Alicante, I remember hearing rumors that the Intempo, or the M building, as we call it, was actually abandoned because the construction company presold many flats already and decided to run away with the money
He didn't mention a single construction mistake in that segment, other than than the lift mishap that injured the workers. I think it was only included in the video because the building is so interesting to look at.
@@travisfinucane This is what I came to say. I have since done some more research and still, the only construction mistake I can find is that, they failed to make adequate provision for emergency services access during construction. So when that service elevator lift accident happened, there was a several hour delay getting medical staff to the relevant part of the site. Still doesn't seem sufficient grounds to include it in this video. I'm glad they did though, it looks like a pretty iconic building and I'd never heard of it before.
My wife used to work with a lot of Chinese businessmen. They won't go on the record about it, but the stories they told us about how/why they would have failed/bad construction were fascinating. It has a lot to do with their culture being expert on finding scapegoats and that being an acceptable culture with them, combined with one thing: executives above you in their culture, expect only one thing from you when they call: assurance that everything is going great. If you do not make those mouth sounds to them, they find someone who will always make those mouth sounds to them. They don't care about reality. They only care about the reports.
I've heard this sort of comment on modern Chinese culture many times. What I would like to know is: how far back does this go? Did this sort of attitude/custom develop under Communist rule, or does it go back to pre-revolutionary China, maybe to the 19th century or earlier?
That explains why so many projects and activities in China are built entirely upon fraudulent acts. I still can't get over all the ghost cities and green painted concrete chunks on top of pieces of rebar to fake growing plants.
Similar to America. Remember the Surfside apartments that collapsed in Florida not too long ago and several people were killed? Very sad and avoidable but to maintain buildings it costs money, and the American system values profits over people.
@@powertrip6426 Taking something that almost never happens, then saying it is similar to something that happens sadly way too often somewhere else, is not what I would call a fair comparison. There is a reason tens of millions of people in China desperately want to immigrate to the USA, and no one other than people with very specific job opportunities (which are drying up) wants to move to China.
I was shocked that the narrator kept talking about carpet being ruined and the hotel lobby getting destroyed. Weren't there like 1500 fish in that tank?
Great pics of the Pisa Tower which really is a monument to Man - for making the building mistake in 1173 and then for working on the Tower thru the many years so that it is still standing in 2023. Quite an accomplishment.
The Pisa tower started tilting very soon after construction started. I’ve always wondered why they didn’t start over and instead continued building a tower they knew would never stand straight.
I moved to Sichuan shortly after the earthquake in 2008. There was a building near me that was severely damaged. The concrete was extremely thin that supported the structure and there were cracks everywhere. I thought for sure it would be torn down, but instead after about a year of sitting silent and probably a lot of bribes they covered it with glass and said it was finished. No way it will survive even a small quake. Feel sorry for those who live there. Love Sichuan and the people but the graft is ridiculous.
I do not know a lot about some of the other construction mishaps, but I would point out that at least the Town of Pisa has made a fortune from its "building" misfortune! Would it be a tourist destination without that leaning tower???
Well the original builder and original owner didn’t think so and only earned ridicule from it when it was first constructed, and was in constant distress on how keep it from leaning more and collapsing.
My hometown also has a leaning tower and for the same reason; soggy clay bottom. Since they tried to correct while building, it’s also bent. When climbing the tower, you can experience what it feels like to be drunk without actually drinking any alcohol.
The Intempo Skyscraper in Benidorm, Spain (a city I've actually visited) and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy hardly seem to warrant even in the top 100 of "construction mistakes." Intempo was a financial management issue and the Tower of Pisa was more engineering. While it may not be a 'perfect' building, it is a success.
It’s called Tofu Dregs construction as the buildings are constructed with very poor materials without good foundations and pillars also they don’t use cement but mud and bamboo materials instead of iron rods and cement very dangerous to buy any properties in China now
If you haven't covered it elsewhere, I'd like to see a discussion of the collapse of the skywalks in the Kansas City Hyatt in 1981 included in a video. I had gone to school in Omaha in the years before that and was a frequent visitor to Kansas City so this had a personal resonance for me.
I've only known about that case because it was featured by Fascinating Horror. It's a very interesting channel as it dives in to the bad engineering and kickbacks etc.
The original design had long rods suspended from the ceiling. The upper deck was to rest on (large) nuts partway down, and the lower deck on nuts at the bottom. This would have required most of the length of the rods to be threaded, and the construction company didn't want to deal with it. So the design was changed. The upper deck was on a short rod, and the lower deck was *suspended from the upper deck* by another rod. The joint that was supposed to hold the upper deck was then holding the full weight of both walkways. The original design was substandard. The new design could barely hold the empty walkways. Add a bunch of people, the joints holding the upper walkway let go, and both levels pancaked into the lobby.
This started my interest in architecture. Then I got more interested in Victorian houses. I'll never forget when I first heard about the skywalk disaster, and they talked about the rods. Even though I had recently graduated high school without physics courses, I realized that would never work. It blows my mind that they were "too lazy" to thread a single rod.
10 years for causing the deaths of over 500 people? What a complete miscarriage of justice!! The perpetrators should have received the death penalty or life in prison without parole with hard labour. This is pathetic!!

I learned elsewhere on TH-cam that paying off all the insurance claims ate up every penny of the Sampoong CEO's personal fortune. So at least they got the satisfaction of bankrupting the man whp murdered their loved ones out of sheer greed.

I stayed in the Radisson Blu in Berlin in January 2017 - it was ridiculously cold, so the heat differential reason makes sense... just glad it didn't happen a few years earlier.
I recall seeing a video on the Mall, saying it was due to the extra weight on the roof when they installed larger air units on the roof and there was no underlying support.
The original building was only for 4 storey, but the owner added a 5th. It’s already at it’s limit by then. When they added the new heavy machinery and cooling system, breaks started to appear. The owner called up Engineers to inspect and find a way to fix it. The Owner should have closed the building already and remove all stuff inside. The halting of machinery with their vibrations and the reduction of weight from people would have saved the building, since they’re in the process of putting more reinforcements and repairs. It’s really negligible murder.
A big reason was the construction method that left little room for error. If they had stuck with the original plans, the building would most likely still be standing. Unfortunately, they removed some support columns and made the remaining columns dangerously thin. The dragging of heavy air conditioning units on the roof certainly didn't help as it weakened the already doomed structure. The owner who ordered the changes did spend time in prison for it. I guess that sounds strange when you've grown to expect a fine at worst for people in similar circumstances.
May I add that from a documentary from Discovery, they said that despite all the warnings of the structure from Sampoong store, Lee Joon ignored every warning, except one. The department of fire told him that his building doesn't have any security meassure incase fire ebrupts. Lee Joon said: "no problem!" and told his workers to put safety. How they did it, he told them to carve out parts of the building columns to install security. That was the final nail of 500 coffins.
One you didn't mention is the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. The two towers were built 18 inches off and almost had to be demolished but was allowed to be completed with modifications. One that didn't get done was a skyscraper on Chicago's lakefront. In 2007 the foundation was dug and partially built but was abandoned as the investors went bankrupt.
In the 1980’s, a paper manufacturer discovered very fast growing trees in Brazil’s jungle. So they constructed a floating paper mill and sailed it deep into Brazil, because it was deemed impossible to build on the actual site. In the mean time, the company’s scientist reported back that the fast growing trees lacked the pulp needed for paper. So the trees were useless in paper making. The paper mill was left abandoned to rust and rot in Brazil. The equivalent of US$1 Billion was spent.
They said the outside of the Aqua Dom was below freezing. They said the air around it was below freezing. How could this be if it was located in the lobby ?
It was a inner courtyard with a glass roof, not actually the lobby of the hotel. The courtyard also was not completely surrounded by the hotel, the hotel was just the biggest part of the building.
On that day the outside temperature was below freezing. The Aqua Dome was inside the air conditioned hotel lobby that surely was kept at room temperature. So the claim made in this video doesn't make sense. There hasn't been a final conclusion to the cause of the collapse yet.
In Malasia in the 1980's an apartment building collapsed. Airconditioning recently installed was initially blamed but investigation revealed than,an engineer made a mathematical error to the power of ten (misplaced a zero) so the centre masswas never rated for this... In Adelaide in around 2010 a large restaurant collapsed. Recently installed airconditioning was responsible in this case, but not because of extra weight. The installers couldn't run the ducting so cut through two main support struts. Six weeks later the inevitable happened.
I'm not sure about a video like this, but I have heard and read in a couple of places that they do it to cover up a original music from stolen audio. I don't think it's the case here though I think it's just that they didn't watch the video before they posted it
2nd Narrows Bridge collapse during construction: On June 17, 1958, at around 3:40 p.m., two spans of the Second Narrows Bridge, then under construction, suddenly collapsed into Burrard Inlet. Seventy-nine workers fell. Among the 19 dead were 14 ironworkers, three engineers, a painter, and a commercial diver who died a few days later when he drowned trying to recover a body. Twenty others were seriously injured. The bridge was renamed Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing in 1994, to honour all who lost their lives during its construction.
Amazing how soon after the incident in S. Korea, the people responsible were held responsible. Wish justice worked that way in America, instead the wheels of justice grind ever so slowly and/or sometimes not even at all.
Millenium Tower in San Francisco, a 645 foot 58 story luxury high rise residential building with a worsening sinking and tilting problem that no one can seem to figure out how to correct.
There is a huge project underway to remedy the tilt, it involves additional pilings outside the foundation and even hydraulic pumps to actively stabilize the building. What a problem!
The tower in Pisa is actually bent. When they started building it again after a couple of centuries, they built straight up from there. You can see it from certain angles. I once watched a soccer game from the top of the bells. Could only see about half the field and have no idea who was playing, but had a good day up there.
It was supposed to be straight. The only reason it didn't collapse long ago is the fact it was delayed, giving the builders a chance to catch the tilt in time and make corrections.
When I was in Saudi Arabia in the 80's; there was a 40 story building that remained unfinished in downtown Riyadh. I later learned that the residential building was unfinished because the architect had neglected to include bathrooms.
The construction of the Pisa - Campanile is perfect. It was built at the wrong place. The stable part is standing on an anchient roman pier, but the unstable one is where the old harbour bassain used to be.
You know there's a difference between a construction mistake and an engineering mistake, right? There was nothing wrong with the construction of the tower of Pisa. It was an engineering issue, that they didn't know the condition of the underlying soil.
The leaning tower of Pisa is now fully stabilized. When they fixed the foundation with concrete they calculated how much it could lean and still be safe.
Neither the M building in Spain nor the Tower of Pisa are Mistakes. But you can add that "The Wall" building. Or that building in Florida which collapsed some time ago.
The Sampoong store cracks were also worsened by them dragging HVAC units across the roof instead of rolling them on dollies and that put strain on the remaining columns that weren't built for that weight.
Been once inside the aquarium, it was a wonderful experience. Or the big highway bridge that collapsed some years ago in Italy. Btw, wasn't there a collapse of some residential building in Florida just some years ago?
Lee Joon and his fellow murderers got off easy with ten years considering the 502 people who died from their greed. As far as construction failures and deadly greed, the Hard Rock Hotel here in New Orleans. To this day the site is a vacant dusty waste ground in the middle of the city. The right thing to do would be to turn this into a memorial park for the three men who died, and those two years that this abomination stood, half collapsed, with the poor bodies of two of those men partially exposed to street view.
@3:13 The Intempo Skyscraper may have been the highest building within the EU at the time, but now the Karlatornet in Göteborg Sweden is higher, 246 m with 74 floors.
Maybe he was trying to show how far it had to go to finish falling. Should be okay as long as some developer doesn't want to dig an underground garage next to it.

The Church steeple in Chesterfield, Yorkshire is a minor example of the sort of not-like-it-looked-on-the-plans-but-we-like-it-anyway mistake we see with the Leaning Tower. The tall spire is twisted (ie corkscrew-like), probably due to being built with unseasoned wood (but there are several theories) and very distinctive. It is quite a tourist attraction, and there are lots of local myths around how the 'twist' happened. Now that the wooden frame-work is approaching the end of its natural life, the question is "Do we put a fake twist in the replacement?".
There's another one in NYC (161 Maiden Lane). The construction was halted cuz it's leaning. It's a skinny 58 story building that doesn’t sit on bedrock. Very smart. LOL.

Also worth a visit to the neighboring town of Lucca. And if you want to relax, it's very close to nice beaches on one side and hills on the other.
I got two for you: the Tacoma Narrows Bridge which collapsed 4 months after it was finished and the San Francis dam that collapsed 12 hrs after Mulholland inspected it and 450 people were killed.
Galloping Gertie..
According to Seconds from Disaster documentary, Sampoong's cracks isn't just from construction failure, but also accelerated it via the air conditioners, instead of using cranes to move them, the management orders a cheapter roller system to easily move it on the roof, right on top one of the straining column, 5E. It also comes from the vibration of turning on also contributes to the failure until collapse.
They also included a traditional Korean restaurant on the top floor, which required a much thicker and heavier floor (because it needed to be heated because traditionally they sit on the floor to eat), which added even more weight.
The day it collapsed they thought if they turned the ac units off everything would be okay. So it was filled with thousands of people and it was very hot and humid. I believe when they looked they saw that a column had punctured the rooftop
10 years of imprisonment for the loss of 502 innocent people's souls,is not a strict penalty.
The government is more corrupt than the contractor!
At least he got prison at all. In certain other first world countries, the most he would have gotten was a fine and bad publicity.
The least surprising was the Aquadom. People always underestimate water.
They overestimated the strength of the plexiglass . They may also have underestimated the chance that a second oil/gas crisis would reduce heating in the surrounding atrium (this was the first winter after gas imports became problematic).
A few details:
1. The acrylic construction details were kept secret by the specialist supplier .
2. Although surrounded by a hotel, the tank and elevated were both part of a general "fish zoo" next door, with a special route for paying zoo guests to visit the 1000 to tropical tank .
3. Fish zookeepers rushed in to save as many fish as possible .
Also not surprising... China
And of course it was built by a US company, as German contractors politely declined due to the high risk... 🙈

Climbing the Tower of Pisa in 1989 was terrifying! It is made of the famous white marble of Italy. The years of wear from oh so many feet climbing had rounded the steps a lot. The mid level balconies had no railing. It did not feel like the tower would fall. It felt like the light mist coating the slippery marble was going to lead to falling off. That 5.5 degrees lean meant standing still on that moist marble felt like a huge risk. I love heights, but I was thrilled to touch the dirt again.
As someone from Alicante, I remember hearing rumors that the Intempo, or the M building, as we call it, was actually abandoned because the construction company presold many flats already and decided to run away with the money
😮
He didn't mention a single construction mistake in that segment, other than than the lift mishap that injured the workers. I think it was only included in the video because the building is so interesting to look at.
@@travisfinucane It looks like a pair of pants to me.
@@travisfinucane This is what I came to say. I have since done some more research and still, the only construction mistake I can find is that, they failed to make adequate provision for emergency services access during construction. So when that service elevator lift accident happened, there was a several hour delay getting medical staff to the relevant part of the site. Still doesn't seem sufficient grounds to include it in this video.
I'm glad they did though, it looks like a pretty iconic building and I'd never heard of it before.
They are advertising flats to rent to tourists in the benidorm building
My wife used to work with a lot of Chinese businessmen. They won't go on the record about it, but the stories they told us about how/why they would have failed/bad construction were fascinating. It has a lot to do with their culture being expert on finding scapegoats and that being an acceptable culture with them, combined with one thing: executives above you in their culture, expect only one thing from you when they call: assurance that everything is going great. If you do not make those mouth sounds to them, they find someone who will always make those mouth sounds to them. They don't care about reality. They only care about the reports.
I've heard this sort of comment on modern Chinese culture many times. What I would like to know is: how far back does this go? Did this sort of attitude/custom develop under Communist rule, or does it go back to pre-revolutionary China, maybe to the 19th century or earlier?
Same in Russia? India as well potentially
That explains why so many projects and activities in China are built entirely upon fraudulent acts. I still can't get over all the ghost cities and green painted concrete chunks on top of pieces of rebar to fake growing plants.
Similar to America. Remember the Surfside apartments that collapsed in Florida not too long ago and several people were killed? Very sad and avoidable but to maintain buildings it costs money, and the American system values profits over people.
@@powertrip6426 Taking something that almost never happens, then saying it is similar to something that happens sadly way too often somewhere else, is not what I would call a fair comparison.
There is a reason tens of millions of people in China desperately want to immigrate to the USA, and no one other than people with very specific job opportunities (which are drying up) wants to move to China.
I would say that all the fish dying is more tragic than the hotel's floor getting destroyed.
Yes. Sigh. 😐🙏
I was thinking the same thing. What a loss of living creatures that were left to die. Was that something that anyone even thought of or considered?
Horrible
THANK YOU.❤💔
I was shocked that the narrator kept talking about carpet being ruined and the hotel lobby getting destroyed. Weren't there like 1500 fish in that tank?
Great pics of the Pisa Tower which really is a monument to Man - for making the building mistake in 1173 and then for working on the Tower thru the many years so that it is still standing in 2023. Quite an accomplishment.
The Pisa tower started tilting very soon after construction started. I’ve always wondered why they didn’t start over and instead continued building a tower they knew would never stand straight.
I have also wondered why they didn't just start over or at least dig a little deeper and add support.
Hubris. They tried to correct it and sent it the other way!
It is kind of like Brexit.
But it is still standing
@@arribaficationwineho32- Thanks, Sherlock. Got the fact from Captain Obvious.
I moved to Sichuan shortly after the earthquake in 2008. There was a building near me that was severely damaged. The concrete was extremely thin that supported the structure and there were cracks everywhere. I thought for sure it would be torn down, but instead after about a year of sitting silent and probably a lot of bribes they covered it with glass and said it was finished. No way it will survive even a small quake. Feel sorry for those who live there. Love Sichuan and the people but the graft is ridiculous.
China known for its, fast, efficient, record-breaking construction - exactly what is wrong with their building!!!
Thank you. Cool video
I do not know a lot about some of the other construction mishaps, but I would point out that at least the Town of Pisa has made a fortune from its "building" misfortune! Would it be a tourist destination without that leaning tower???
But it is still standing
Well the original builder and original owner didn’t think so and only earned ridicule from it when it was first constructed, and was in constant distress on how keep it from leaning more and collapsing.
My hometown also has a leaning tower and for the same reason; soggy clay bottom. Since they tried to correct while building, it’s also bent. When climbing the tower, you can experience what it feels like to be drunk without actually drinking any alcohol.
Yes, there's other things to see and do.
@@kellydalstok8900 ...since they don't make Quaaludes anymore.
The Intempo Skyscraper in Benidorm, Spain (a city I've actually visited) and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy hardly seem to warrant even in the top 100 of "construction mistakes." Intempo was a financial management issue and the Tower of Pisa was more engineering. While it may not be a 'perfect' building, it is a success.
The intempo skyscrapper must be a building of a freemason.
The shape is M.
Yeah, I thought the same thing. "A major financial collapse happened during construction and things stopped for a bit..."
Anyone familiar with the great cathedrals are familiar with construction halting for very prolonged times.
China is known for its amazingly fast construction process. That falls apart amazingly fast also
It’s called Tofu Dregs construction as the buildings are constructed with very poor materials without good foundations and pillars also they don’t use cement but mud and bamboo materials instead of iron rods and cement very dangerous to buy any properties in China now
China is known for a _lot_ of shoddy things. "Made in China" is not necessarily a badge of honour.
At the same time z India crossed their population
Though yes they built a hospital in record time during the pandemic
Name one famous tower that has fallen.

If you haven't covered it elsewhere, I'd like to see a discussion of the collapse of the skywalks in the Kansas City Hyatt in 1981 included in a video. I had gone to school in Omaha in the years before that and was a frequent visitor to Kansas City so this had a personal resonance for me.
I've only known about that case because it was featured by Fascinating Horror. It's a very interesting channel as it dives in to the bad engineering and kickbacks etc.
The original design had long rods suspended from the ceiling. The upper deck was to rest on (large) nuts partway down, and the lower deck on nuts at the bottom.
This would have required most of the length of the rods to be threaded, and the construction company didn't want to deal with it. So the design was changed. The upper deck was on a short rod, and the lower deck was *suspended from the upper deck* by another rod. The joint that was supposed to hold the upper deck was then holding the full weight of both walkways.
The original design was substandard. The new design could barely hold the empty walkways. Add a bunch of people, the joints holding the upper walkway let go, and both levels pancaked into the lobby.
This started my interest in architecture. Then I got more interested in Victorian houses. I'll never forget when I first heard about the skywalk disaster, and they talked about the rods. Even though I had recently graduated high school without physics courses, I realized that would never work. It blows my mind that they were "too lazy" to thread a single rod.
I was coming down to the comments to see whether anyone had suggested the Hyatt Regency hotel walkway collapse.
"A number of columns were removed to give way..." Yeah, that says it all.
The remaining columns were made thinner than originally designed to make even more room.
@@foxymetroidthey also cheaped out on the rods :(( there were supposed to be 16 around each column, the CEO wanted only 8
They also put heavy air conditioning units on the roof, the spinning motors of which caused vibration that weakened the structure.
Ten years in prison was too light handed for that greedy Korean dude. I mean, over 500 innocent people died. Prayers for them.
That Intempo build looks amazing!
10 years for causing the deaths of over 500 people? What a complete miscarriage of justice!! The perpetrators should have received the death penalty or life in prison without parole with hard labour. This is pathetic!!
Public execution for him and his entire family. Only by making the consequences of such corruption completely intolerable will these tragic events be averted!
I agree.
I learned elsewhere on TH-cam that paying off all the insurance claims ate up every penny of the Sampoong CEO's personal fortune. So at least they got the satisfaction of bankrupting the man whp murdered their loved ones out of sheer greed.

So how was Intempo a construction mistake? Bad management, certainly, but I didn't hear you mention any mistakes.

I stayed in the Radisson Blu in Berlin in January 2017 - it was ridiculously cold, so the heat differential reason makes sense... just glad it didn't happen a few years earlier.
I recall seeing a video on the Mall, saying it was due to the extra weight on the roof when they installed larger air units on the roof and there was no underlying support.
yea. i think i saw it like 10-15 yrs ago on discovery or natgeo channel
This was caused by a dozen deadly causes. Every reason can cause collapse😦
The original building was only for 4 storey, but the owner added a 5th. It’s already at it’s limit by then. When they added the new heavy machinery and cooling system, breaks started to appear. The owner called up Engineers to inspect and find a way to fix it. The Owner should have closed the building already and remove all stuff inside. The halting of machinery with their vibrations and the reduction of weight from people would have saved the building, since they’re in the process of putting more reinforcements and repairs. It’s really negligible murder.
A big reason was the construction method that left little room for error. If they had stuck with the original plans, the building would most likely still be standing. Unfortunately, they removed some support columns and made the remaining columns dangerously thin. The dragging of heavy air conditioning units on the roof certainly didn't help as it weakened the already doomed structure.
The owner who ordered the changes did spend time in prison for it. I guess that sounds strange when you've grown to expect a fine at worst for people in similar circumstances.
May I add that from a documentary from Discovery, they said that despite all the warnings of the structure from Sampoong store, Lee Joon ignored every warning, except one. The department of fire told him that his building doesn't have any security meassure incase fire ebrupts. Lee Joon said: "no problem!" and told his workers to put safety. How they did it, he told them to carve out parts of the building columns to install security.
That was the final nail of 500 coffins.
Rich people have been proving since time began that money does not make you smart.

One you didn't mention is the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. The two towers were built 18 inches off and almost had to be demolished but was allowed to be completed with modifications. One that didn't get done was a skyscraper on Chicago's lakefront. In 2007 the foundation was dug and partially built but was abandoned as the investors went bankrupt.
Have you covered Quebec bridge ? I don't remember if part of it still sits in the St Lawrence river...
In the 1980’s, a paper manufacturer discovered very fast growing trees in Brazil’s jungle. So they constructed a floating paper mill and sailed it deep into Brazil, because it was deemed impossible to build on the actual site. In the mean time, the company’s scientist reported back that the fast growing trees lacked the pulp needed for paper. So the trees were useless in paper making. The paper mill was left abandoned to rust and rot in Brazil. The equivalent of US$1 Billion was spent.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Talk about putting the cart before the horse...
They said the outside of the Aqua Dom was below freezing. They said the air around it was below freezing. How could this be if it was located in the lobby ?
yea it sounds strange
It was a inner courtyard with a glass roof, not actually the lobby of the hotel. The courtyard also was not completely surrounded by the hotel, the hotel was just the biggest part of the building.
They why do thay say it was inb the lobby ?@@T0MT0Mmmmy
They never report how many fish died.
On that day the outside temperature was below freezing. The Aqua Dome was inside the air conditioned hotel lobby that surely was kept at room temperature. So the claim made in this video doesn't make sense. There hasn't been a final conclusion to the cause of the collapse yet.
Sad and Scary 😨 Disturbing and Dangerous 😢Shameful 😮
In Malasia in the 1980's an apartment building collapsed. Airconditioning recently installed was initially blamed but investigation revealed than,an engineer made a mathematical error to the power of ten (misplaced a zero) so the centre masswas never rated for this...
In Adelaide in around 2010 a large restaurant collapsed. Recently installed airconditioning was responsible in this case, but not because of extra weight. The installers couldn't run the ducting so cut through two main support struts. Six weeks later the inevitable happened.
And what’s the point of add music so loud that it’s difficult to understand the voice?
I'm not sure about a video like this, but I have heard and read in a couple of places that they do it to cover up a original music from stolen audio. I don't think it's the case here though I think it's just that they didn't watch the video before they posted it
so obnoxious
I didn't notice any obtrusive music. Are you one of those people listening with headphones instead of proper speakers?

2nd Narrows Bridge collapse during construction: On June 17, 1958, at around 3:40 p.m., two spans of the Second Narrows Bridge, then under construction, suddenly collapsed into Burrard Inlet. Seventy-nine workers fell. Among the 19 dead were 14 ironworkers, three engineers, a painter, and a commercial diver who died a few days later when he drowned trying to recover a body. Twenty others were seriously injured.
The bridge was renamed Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing in 1994, to honour all who lost their lives during its construction.
Amazing how soon after the incident in S. Korea, the people responsible were held responsible.

Millenium Tower in San Francisco, a 645 foot 58 story luxury high rise residential building with a worsening sinking and tilting problem that no one can seem to figure out how to correct.
There is a huge project underway to remedy the tilt, it involves additional pilings outside the foundation and even hydraulic pumps to actively stabilize the building. What a problem!
Go ask Trump. He has a solution for everything. Some good, some bad, some outright ridiculous even stupid.
Thanks, Top Luxury.
The department store collapse was the direct result of greed by the building owner rather any of the construction companies.
The tower in Pisa is actually bent. When they started building it again after a couple of centuries, they built straight up from there. You can see it from certain angles.
I once watched a soccer game from the top of the bells. Could only see about half the field and have no idea who was playing, but had a good day up there.
Tower of Pisa isn't mistake... It's just ICONIC tower.
That became ICONIC by a mistake.
It was supposed to be straight. The only reason it didn't collapse long ago is the fact it was delayed, giving the builders a chance to catch the tilt in time and make corrections.
When I was in Saudi Arabia in the 80's; there was a 40 story building that remained unfinished in downtown Riyadh. I later learned that the residential building was unfinished because the architect had neglected to include bathrooms.
The construction of the Pisa - Campanile is perfect. It was built at the wrong place. The stable part is standing on an anchient roman pier, but the unstable one is where the old harbour bassain used to be.
A gigantic aquarium inside a hotel full of people. Brilliant. What could possibly go wrong? Oops!!!
You know there's a difference between a construction mistake and an engineering mistake, right? There was nothing wrong with the construction of the tower of Pisa. It was an engineering issue, that they didn't know the condition of the underlying soil.

But you can add that "The Wall" building.
Or that building in Florida which collapsed some time ago.
Good presentation despite shortness.
The Sampoong store cracks were also worsened by them dragging HVAC units across the roof instead of rolling them on dollies and that put strain on the remaining columns that weren't built for that weight.
Been once inside the aquarium, it was a wonderful experience.
Or the big highway bridge that collapsed some years ago in Italy.
Btw, wasn't there a collapse of some residential building in Florida just some years ago?

Lee Joon and his fellow murderers got off easy with ten years considering the 502 people who died from their greed.
As far as construction failures and deadly greed, the Hard Rock Hotel here in New Orleans. To this day the site is a vacant dusty waste ground in the middle of the city. The right thing to do would be to turn this into a memorial park for the three men who died, and those two years that this abomination stood, half collapsed, with the poor bodies of two of those men partially exposed to street view.
And the worker who warned management about unsafe shoring was deported as he wasn't here legally. How convenient for the company!

The Church steeple in Chesterfield, Yorkshire is a minor example of the sort of not-like-it-looked-on-the-plans-but-we-like-it-anyway mistake we see with the Leaning Tower. The tall spire is twisted (ie corkscrew-like), probably due to being built with unseasoned wood (but there are several theories) and very distinctive. It is quite a tourist attraction, and there are lots of local myths around how the 'twist' happened. Now that the wooden frame-work is approaching the end of its natural life, the question is "Do we put a fake twist in the replacement?".
