There are so many engineering marvels outside USA.
Name one Mike

True
I personally LOVE his modern and timeless designs
Pretty sure the Salesforce tower isn't a kilometer tall!
That was cool. Thanks for the video post. Best of luck 🍀
Great 👍 video excellent video 📹
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!
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.
Hahah
The Panama canal was a monster of a project 😎
you mean top engineering Marvel of US
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.
Awesome vid 😍👏
I think you should also include the Hadron Collider.
Chrysler building’s design is easily one of the top 3 iconic architectural accomplishments of the twentieth century.
"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 😂
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!
the large hadron collider in france/switzerland is the greatest of all, and not even on this list.
totally
Love it
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...
yeah, that freaked me out .... jesus, a kilometre tall?!?,,, can't even imagine that
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️ 🎀
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.
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
96 People died building the Hoover Dam.
OMG lot's of love northeast India
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
So where's the building shown in title? Did I miss that one somehow?
I think that's an oil rig.
You guys should look outside USA also,
Bored of seeing the same thing 10 times
How about "The Rarimu Spiral", rail section on New Zealands main trunk rail line.
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.
That Dubai tower doesn’t have a wastewater plumbing system, so toilet waste is hauled away by trucks.
Why the pyramids were not in this list? Specially that it was done by hand. They didn’t even have steel.
人間て凄いもん作るな～秀樹感激Goodです=3
Interesting, most of these are old, Engineering came a lone way since then
Ya but that's all the yanks have.
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.
These giants took years to create And some of them are some of them
Are the tallest creations ever made
By human hands
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
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.
The background music is most enjoyable.
Moist. Enjoyable 😉
I live near the evergreen point bridge and when you bike across it you can read about its construction. Plus it's so long that it takes about 30 minutes to cross by bike.
You’re slow af
Salea force tower is not 1070 meters tall. Its 1070 feet tall
That’s quite a difference.
I was thinking the same lol
9:43 this is how $120 million Marsian probes land on Mars at 1,458 mph instead of 4mph.
Was this able to be done in 1873? i.e. the International Railway Bridge in Buffalo NY? Niagara River current there is between 7-11 mph constant. This was prior to the installation of the ice boom. Also levels of River vary w the wind off of Lake Erie, this increases flow & there pressure exponentially. How were caissons sunk in 10 mph current, in 1870's? I am currently researching this, help & insight welcomed & most appreciated 🙏💯.

The bay bridge is the life line for the bay area.
Do you guys ever do, oh, I dunno, a top FIVE video instead of 15? Just curious...
Fifteen is a multiple of five 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
You guys have no idea about off-shore oil rigs…
From 1:46 to 1:54 going from right to left, you can see what looks like a UFO flying across the Bay Bridge
what do you think, you can slow down the video because it's moving pretty fast.
That is totally freaky. It looks like a square box sets spinning in a Gyro by its motion and moving and pulse is faster than the frames of the camera I watched it at a slower speed for you to definitely shiny like a metallic structure what dose the rest of the world think
it is a bird...you see the reflection of the sun on the water reflected back up under the birds wings while it flaps...so the lighter feathers underneath light up a little and reflect while the darker feathers on top deflect...
so you get that flashy effect...its just their wings flapping...physics man lol and the bird is a lot closer to us than the bridge is which explains its speed
@@kickassandchewbubblegum639 it's a bird, it's a plane, it's a UFO... oh, yeah, it's just a frigging bird.
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
80,000 miles of cable? That could go around the earth like twice or so ...
They are marvels.In time,marvels will need repairs,Etc..This is Life.
I am an engineer.
You missed CERN and Milleau Viaduct, surely two of the most impressive engineering projests
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.
The Bay Bridge portion doesn't even show the actual bridge he was talking about. The spans he showed is the western section. The eastern section is the one he talked about. The two sections are separated by an island with the road passing through a tunnel. And they look nothing alike! If the author can't even get that right, how can we trust anything else he talks about????
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.
Why only mostly america?
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.
Playing with dark matter - I think it’s best the lab is 5000ft below the surface!
Missing Delta Werken and great pyramides
80,000 miles of cable
Salesforce tower is not 1070m tall but 326 m tall which is 1070 ft
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".
100 years old. You did not cover Japan and China.
Did i miss the channel tunnel
They literally say that about everything until shit goes Murphys Law.
Engineering monuments will last/survive/exist until the day mom nature decides its time feed some humble pie to humanity
Is that Charlie Sheen narrating?
🌻
More like 15 insane enginnering marvels in the USA
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
The Salesforce Tower. It’s sinking.
Title should say American Engineering Marvels LOL
You guys showed video of the wrong bay bridge!!
Concrete pontoons huh
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......
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was about pork pies
Matatan ◇ Ribirin HS¡¡¡¡👈👀
They don’t show the portion of the Bay Bridge they talk about.
Where’s Space X Dragon?
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.
Too much concrete. Clever but the co2!
What was the thumbnail pic?
So Chicago didn’t worry about raw sewage running into the lake, just moved the flow out further from land? Nice. Go Chicago city.
Colorado is one of the biggest states. Shows Hollywood sign. geez
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
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!
Doesn't show the click-bait picture...
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
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.
geeez...
6:07??
Saleforce tower got extremely long🤣 it's not 1070 m
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.
Wtf, is this a sci fi movie that happens in usa only? This is LAUGHABLE
Does the guy that narrates all these videos have a real job ?
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.
Hello
Namaste, Hello to you. Hope life’s treating you well. May peace be with you.
I've never seen a Frank Lloyd Wright buildings that I liked
And most of them were environmental disasters with all that building materials used.
Take the music off the videos would be a much more enjoyable video!!!!!!!
Chris Kane is considered an engineering Marvel by the ladies in the bedroom.
Ok lol
Just talk normal. So many TH-camrs voicetuning themselves into Batman.
Thats his normal voice robin
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
You mean the 25 de Abril Bridge? Because that was built decades after the Golden Gate Bridge.
Actually you got it wrong way around
