The salesforce tower is 1070 FEET tall, not meters. If it was 1070 meters tall it would be the first skyscraper over a kilometer tall and would be abt 600 feet higher than the Burj Khalifa
The Three Gorges Dam required such a significant portion of the world's supply of Portland Cement that the price of concrete went up about 3 fold. It's never gone back.
Wow - didn’t know that Salesforce tower was taller than Burj Khalifa. Proof read your copy! Oh - and like how they didn’t actually show the new SAS portion of the Bay Bridge. Get it right folks!
You are off with your stats. The Salesforce building in San Francisco is 1,070 feet tall, not meters. That is 326 meters. if it was 1,070 meters, it would be the tallest building in the world...
Uh.... For the Bay Bridge which links San Francisco to the East Bay, I think the stock footage is all wrong. The footage shows the western span of the bridge. The Bay Bridge is actually two bridges: The western span which is a suspension bridge that runs from San Francisco to an island in the middle of the bay (Yerba Buena Island). The other "bridge" is the eastern span which runs from Yerba Buena island to Oakland. The eastern span was a cantilever bridge. That's the portion of the bridge that suffered the roadway collapse in the 1989 earthquake (which occurred during the world series baseball game between the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland Athletics). The stock footage in this video is of the suspension portion of the bridge. The part that was replaced by the "Engineering Marvel" was the cantilevered eastern span.
"If it wasn't for the Colorado Aqueduct cities like San Diego and Los Angeles wouldn't be able to maintain agriculture." Funny I didn't know Metropolitan Cities were a cluster of mega farms.
At the Guggenheim Museum, which is a huge ramp, you take the elevator to the top and walk down the ramp, 6 stories, rather than walk up a 6 story ramp.
The i-90 floating bridge in washington just south of the sr-520 bridge is way more impressing. 4 lanes eachway and now a light rail nearing completion in-between the eat/wastbound bridges that connected the 2 sides. I drive both every week depending on traffic and the i-90 floating bridge is cooler to me.
Why don't you include the Mackinac bridge? It's a lot longer than the Golden Gate bridge, was constructed in the 50's and connects the upper peninsula to the rest of Michigan. It was quite an undertaking at the time and is still used today.
my great grandpa was a steel beam worker for the empire state building...he came to america from ireland and was a iron worker at the ports in ireland working on big boats...he was trying to find work and got that building to put the beams on it...he was one of those guys way up having lunch on a beam looking at the city...he went to war 3 times too...ww1, 2 and korean...died a little after korean war of a heart attack...a great man indeed and my other great grandpa worked on the panama canal...my grandpa was born while my great grandpa was there doing that...so my grandpa is french panamanian...im an irish-french mut lol
He described the new Eastern, self-anchored suspension bridge but NEVER showed it to us! He kept showing the old Western (the Willie J. Brown bridge) section. PUTZ.
The image that made me click on this video is NOT featured in it !.. It looked like some huge cylinder shaped ship or platform was being launched into the water... Whatever that was, it is NOT here, and that is called "click bait".
Well they haven’t been out of America very often. And now the world is in such a mess that you may have your head chopped off if you go to the wrong country. Or Riddled with holes from machine guns at the valley of the Kings Egypt. Optimist or pessimist, how about just trying to stay alive.
Wow, I never realised how many 'Insane Engineering Marvels' occurred in the USA. Maybe one day the rest of the world will copy their example........wait......
There are several bridges that are longer than the Bay, or the Golden Gate. Some are in the U.S., but the longest are not. I'm an American, but videos like this embarrass me because they disproportionately highlight U.S. accomplishments when greater feats exist outside the U.S.
this is ridiculous. everything is in america. and i love how when it an non US one you raise loads of negatives (three gorges dam, China), when talk of the US structures is only positive with stats. hoover dam, empire state building, san fran bridges and guggenheim should not be on this list.
yeah i'm french and when i visited america, i visited New York and San Francisco. Coincidentally, i visited almost all of these engineering "marvels". And its not like those washington state bridges sghould be included anyways.
He should be putting stuff like the Great Wall of China, The Eiffel Tower, maybe something from the USA, the Suez Canal, the Sydney Opera House, the Dubai Palm Islands, and maybe the Akaishi Kakyo Bridge. (if i didn't include other stuff, pls don't take any offense because i have rlly faulty memory)
Almost every picture of the San Francisco Bay Bridge are the wrong section. The section talked about has only one very quick peek and you can't seem much at that.
The vid should have mentioned that the 3 Gorges dam is already falling apart....and BTW the Salesforce Tower in SF is 1070 FEET tall (326 meters) . The vid displays the number of feet as meters, and then converts THAT figure to feet, so it shows 3510 feet. Compound error! lol We haven't quite gotten to buildings that are a km high, yet, but what interests me is...How did the producers of this vid miss that? lol
Just to mention, that Golden Gate is a copy of the bridge in Lisbon. In fact the Portuguese has gifted US by building a replica of they own marvel. Also there are plenty of marvels across the globe, not only US, US, US, US, US, China and Dubai
It is interesting in this age of "green energy" nuke and dams are taboo. Yet wind killing birds is good and solar that requires heavy and rare earth mining is good.
I'd like to have believed all the figures quoted had been fact checked before making this public but the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco is NOT over 3000 feet tall, the actual height in feet is quoted as being in Meters making me question every other statement.
Mentions the bay bridge and shows the old western span that hasnt had any issues. This video kinda clip bait. each marvel has a elementary amount of info.
You spend a lot of time talking about the new part of the Bay Bridge, but except for a few seconds you show the older part, completely different from your dialogue.
I have to say, I'm surprised that neither Chernobyl sarcophagus is on this list. Both of them were remarkable building protects that should have been included.
Wow basically downs the China damn and points out its bad points then right after ofcore use damn is so goldy in statue and was so hard people died there to and fucked up the life in that water to
The Morton salt mine under Lake Sinclair in Ohio is the largest salt mine in the world that's 14,000 employees all underground giant City it produces 90% of the world's of Mind salt not the stuff from Salt legs the stuff Underground
Everything you said is a lie. It is not the largest salt mine in the world , it is the 5th largest in the US nevermind the world, the 14000 employees is just a ridiculous thing to say. And its 5 million ton yearly production is for US domestic use and is OBVIOUSLY NOT 90% of the world production since it is an insignificant amount an is dwarfed by other US or Canadian mines without venturing to the rest of the world.
you mean top engineering Marvel of US
There are so many engineering marvels outside USA.
Name one Mike
@@taylorguinnip5887 akashi kaikayo bridge, Japan. Three gorges dam, China.
True
Pretty sure the Salesforce tower isn't a kilometer tall!
I think you should also include the Hadron Collider.
I'm a civil engineer. I love what we do
I love what you do too!
@@bernicemerryman366 I love you to
don't try to take credit of elite people.
Thank you!
it takes a special mind, that’s awesome
Great 👍 video excellent video 📹

The Bay Bridge part of this video has a pretty big disconnect between the footage and the span the narrator is actually talking about.
Right? They didn't even show one part of the self-anchored portion of the bridge.
1000m tall building? In SF ? Wow there I thought there was no 1000m building yet.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salesforce_Tower It isn't nearly that high.
That’s what happens when Americans work with metric lol

yeah, that freaked me out .... jesus, a kilometre tall?!?,,, can't even imagine that
the large hadron collider in france/switzerland is the greatest of all, and not even on this list.
totally
I personally LOVE his modern and timeless designs
The Panama canal was a monster of a project 😎

"If it wasn't for the Colorado Aqueduct cities like San Diego and Los Angeles wouldn't be able to maintain agriculture." Funny I didn't know Metropolitan Cities were a cluster of mega farms.
Half of the pictures were from the California aqueduct. Also, Los Angeles hardly uses any water from the Colorado river. This video is hot garbage 😂
Salesforce tower is 1070 feet tall, not meters. (9:44 mins)
Yup, 3510ft is about 800 feet taller than the tallest building in the world.
This should be pinned
Awesome vid 😍👏
So where's the building shown in title? Did I miss that one somehow?
I think that's an oil rig.
Chrysler building’s design is easily one of the top 3 iconic architectural accomplishments of the twentieth century.
96 People died building the Hoover Dam.
Why the pyramids were not in this list? Specially that it was done by hand. They didn’t even have steel.
At the Guggenheim Museum, which is a huge ramp, you take the elevator to the top and walk down the ramp, 6 stories, rather than walk up a 6 story ramp.

Salea force tower is not 1070 meters tall. Its 1070 feet tall
That’s quite a difference.
I was thinking the same lol

That Dubai tower doesn’t have a wastewater plumbing system, so toilet waste is hauled away by trucks.
OMG lot's of love northeast India
They are marvels.In time,marvels will need repairs,Etc..This is Life.

These giants took years to create And some of them are some of them
Are the tallest creations ever made
By human hands

How about "The Rarimu Spiral", rail section on New Zealands main trunk rail line.
Title should be 15 Insane Engineering Marvels in USA
He described the new Eastern, self-anchored suspension bridge but NEVER showed it to us! He kept showing the old Western (the Willie J. Brown bridge) section. PUTZ.
Title should say American Engineering Marvels LOL
9:42 The sales force building is 1070’ tall (326m), not 1070 meters. The tallest building in the world is just 2717’ tall.
Correct! They should check the facts first! There is no building in the world yet that is 1 km in height!
Was just watching the video and found that is kinda stupid mistake - nothing taller than 1 km yet as of today.
Playing with dark matter - I think it’s best the lab is 5000ft below the surface!
80,000 miles of cable? That could go around the earth like twice or so ...
Consider the fact that just one SpaceX Starship will have more habitable interior space than the entire ISS. AMAZING!!
Consider the fact I've been trying to.contact regarding your warranty claim

Love it

The bay bridge is the life line for the bay area.
Missing Delta Werken and great pyramides
100 years old. You did not cover Japan and China.
1070 meters tall. Now that is a tall building in San Francisco, actually that makes it the tallest building in the world by far. Not!
80,000 miles of cable
Did i miss the channel tunnel
You guys showed video of the wrong bay bridge!!

The Salesforce Tower. It’s sinking.

Doesn't show the click-bait picture...
So Chicago didn’t worry about raw sewage running into the lake, just moved the flow out further from land? Nice. Go Chicago city.
Too much concrete. Clever but the co2!
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was about pork pies
They don’t show the portion of the Bay Bridge they talk about.
Colorado is one of the biggest states. Shows Hollywood sign. geez
Take the music off the videos would be a much more enjoyable video!!!!!!!
geeez...

Saleforce tower got extremely long🤣 it's not 1070 m
The floating bridge actually partially sunk during bad weather and there were no small compartments to stop the water I could be wrong
That was I-90 not 520 and the reason was due to contractors leaving the top open during resurfacing. Get it right!
@@danjberg ohh thank you for correcting me sir lol and I'm sorry for the confusion

Actually you got it wrong way around
No real big bridges… no Big Mac, just a couple of SF CA shorties that combined are still getting you wet if in the straits of mackinaw
