    Erm, the first suspension bridge in the world WAS NOT in the USA, it was the Menai bridge in Wales, completed in 1826! The Brooklyn Bridge wasn't completed until 57 years later!

      You’re absolutely right and not only that the Brooklyn Bridge was not the first suspension bridge in the United States. The first one was at Fairmont, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was finished in 1842.

    • @matthewslaughter781

      But the Brooklyn Bridge was the first steel wire, suspension bridge, and at that time it was the largest suspension bridge in the world. I think that’s what they possibly meant

    I believe the Tacoma Narrows bridge had remedial cables, laid out, ready to be fitted. Unfortunately the person who was to arrange insurance which would have rebuilt the damaged structure, purloined the payment. The Brockland bridge incorporated secondary, cable stayed bridge secondary support, being German designed it had " belt and braces" philosophy included. Mister Robling had built suspension bridges all across Europe.the frame of the Empire State building was of Krupp Steel. When checking safety around 1990, it was found to be able to rise a further twenty floors. The foot of a bed is the entire forth quarter. The legs, which hold a bed above the floor, are sat in bowls which are filled with water so climbing insects might not climb into bed with the person. Used around the world.

    Global warming has been stalled at about 1°C since 1992. In 2022 global warming was officially reported at 1.06°C. No long term project should be built expecting the conditions at its build to stay static with no ability to except unusual situations or changes.

    This is such a bizarre concept for a documentary. Why am I watching this awkward man ask engineers foolish questions in a language they aren't speaking. Is the host overdubbed in real life or how are they communicating? What does the host adding to this? This is all really interesting but it's really weird that it keeps getting interrupted by these awkward question and answer sessions.

    Rising oceans? I took a 30 yr old tide chart to Newport beach California. In the harbor right next to the rusty pelican restaurant there is a tide level meter printed on a piling. Guess what, at hight tide it was 1 in low. So don't lie to me about rising sea levels. Despite what these half wit news casters tell you the ocean cannot rise in Venice Italy and not rise in Newport beach. ITS THE SAME BODY OF WATER. There only called pacific/Atlantic / artic ect. Can you fill up only half your bathtub with water? A little common sense goes a long way.

      Same observation here. We have a home on the coast of North Carolina with a boat dock we've had in the family for 65 years. We have pictures which show the water levels at the exact same level they are today. In fact, if the water levels did rise, mucv of our land would be submerged and we'd be able to claim a loss on our taxes. This hasn't happened obviously. But, you can't convince a leftist of truth, so I'm afraid they will remain in that cult .

Lots of pics at the dock unloading fish. There's thousands of coastal houses that were built just a few feet above high tide level in the early 1900s and before. They are still there. When people who live at the coast complain, then you'll know it's real. Until then, stop listening to doomsday cult prophecies. The greatest threat to man is leftism. Keep your eye on that.
