Surprisingly , no mention of Bethlehem Steel , in Pennsylvania , the company that built most all of the pieces of the Golden Gate Bridge . At that time , there was no facility on the West Coast that could produce that much quality steel .
@@joseluisfernandez613 You are either a troll or know nothing. Bethlehem Steel made their own documentary film, it clearly shows they used freight trains to bring the fabricated parts to the Philadelphia harbor. It was then loaded aboard Bethlehem cargo ships , shipped through the Panama Canal, and up to the San Francisco Bay, where it was unloaded and stored at Bethlehem Steel facilities in the S.F East Bay at Alameda. The steel assemblies were barged from Alameda to the bridge construction site as needed.
I like watching videos on your channel. Unlike short videos on other channels, you can learn a lot of interesting nuances about the subject of the story. Thank you very much.
This channel should do a video about Hanger One at Moffett Field. It’s almost done being re-clad after being stripped 10 years ago. It’s more stunning now than the day it was built. .
The designers and engineers of the Golden Gate Bridge were fortunate that their design didn’t suffer the design flaw of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. The winds must be in the same range for both of these locations but the design of the Tacoma Narrows focused on making the deck structure lighter, if I’m not mistaken, and the harmonics of the movement caused by the wind were at a frequency that was self exciting and self amplifying, the deck structure with tragic results.
Great video Thank you, i heard many years ago that the painting crew starts at one end of the bridge and by the time they make it to the other end and finish, they go right back to the other end and start over, day after day, month after month, year after year
Unfortunately, the Golden Gate Bridge Highway & Transportation District uses it as a cash cow by endlessly increasing the bridge tolls. People are fooling themselves into thinking that money is only being used to maintain the bridge.
Sir no doubt Golden Bridge 🙂🙂pionner certainely but a mariage betwen engineering and natural beauty 🙂🙂tell us more about the widding, celebrated on the bridge in the night 🙂🙂no photos diffused 🙂🙂🙂
You never mention that Straus received his assignment after he headed the construction of the Oakland-San Francisco Bay bridge. The Bay Bridge project showed his concepts actually worked.
Sir on the Normandy & The island of Oleron bridges, 😅😅 the children singing quietely (sur le pont d'avignon) i realized that we need a college for knowledge😆😆 and architects engineers for bridges 😅😅😅otherwise we would be swimming to across🙂🙂🙂
It being in Commiefornia is the reason I will not be visiting and taking in the history of this great nation. I have seen a good portion of my country. That being said there are several states l have no interest in seeing until they become safer than the anarchy that is being tolerated now. These states hold much of the nation's history. A sad state of affairs.
Great day from Dangrek mountain capital hill of krung Preah Beida Sung Khmer Thai. The only future dragonfly capital hill independent 5000km2 with 333 long hill of Asia 🌏 that going to have largest airport & airbase for direct fly of Boeing & air force from all G7 countries members & Thailand Philippines Indonesia Myanmar & theirs people living up to a million people & working & business as their 3th country or continental in Asia 🌏 & the modern Khmer AI development center & argest theme Park & largest stadium for FIFA & largest shooting rang in Asia & the tourists going destination capital hill of Asia 🌏 up to 5 millions people per year
The pier was 6 meters under water? I'm sorry in that time period Americans didn't use metrics. You earn a thumbs down and I'll unsubscribe. Think in the future before you lose all your subscribers

Who cares
Bethlehem steel in Pennsylvania must of marched it over as well cuz they didn’t use boats or trains from the west coast right
Pennsylvania where 😂

Bc the documentary is about the bridge not the steel.
Stunning bridge and excellent documentary.
I moved to the SF area 11 years ago and learning about this makes me admire it more

Mind Blowing
Well put together, love the documentary beautiful and sad story at the same time, ❤❤
Excellent program thank you
Landmark'⭐,wonderful structures&engineering!!!!
I love this bridge ♥️🙏🏼😊
Interesting documentary. I found it interesting that the building companies (six companies) and of course Bechtel Corporation aren't identified.

Great documentary. Thanks for sharing this. Take care and God Bless.
Tremendous 🔥👍👏
Wow, Golden Gate Bridge is the largest bridge that I saw through the video social media.
The Sydney harbour bridge was just as important to sydney siders n was build around the same time.

1st from beautiful Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
🎉 congratulations 🎊
Wonder of the modern world, you say. 😮 P.s. second in line. 😅
incredible bridge, wonder of the world
❤❤❤❤ 😊😊 Thanks!
It is a great bridge I always wanted to go to visit San Francisco and go across that bridge 🌉😮
Great video Thank you, i heard many years ago that the painting crew starts at one end of the bridge and by the time they make it to the other end and finish, they go right back to the other end and start over, day after day, month after month, year after year
That’s not true five different crews tend to the worst areas year-round. Seven men on each crew.
@rrrobeltnest7295 for a total of 35 painting crew
Wow. The gravity point is center for flyings. A jet wings on high golden meltings. One time only please.

How much is the toll?
@@PjDurkin-m9sbelieve it's up to 11 now
@@flipmode916 Wow! Outrageous!
The maintenance money has to come from somewhere.
Ya taxes! North America's pay loads of them at every turn.
It goes all the way to Suisun Bay and Fairfield Ca I lived there for 12 years in the 80s when I loved the lady's 😊

Outstandind documentary, but I hate that metric system.
No...I love it. It is simple because it is decimal. All to do with 10.
And the scientific and engineering world use it throughout the globle

When I was a kid I saw a movie where a giant Octopus took it out..Think the movie was called It came from beneath the sea.
Protect the divers! Did they lose any people during construction???💞🇺🇸🙏✌
Looks nice from nyc

Nowadays, they have to worry about an altogether different type of smoldering piles in San Francisco!
@21:09 it is still standing.....huhhh I hear Elton John 😂🎉❤
Why are all of the statistics given in the metric system? This was the 1930s!
Cash cow indeed, so they can pay the bridge district 's executives BONUSES!!!!
I feel the Varazanno bridge in New York is bigger than the golden gate bridge.
39:33 UFO's? wtf?
Oof ohs?
The bay bridge was built around the same time. That’s 2 suspension bridges connected.
SUASIDE BRIDGE 😊
I still think the forth bridge is more impressive.
1:21
I really didn't need 'longest span' explained😂
Presidio
Obviously made for Canadian (metric system) audiences.
And a lot of the progressive Western world.
And Australia. 😁😃

"Really helpful". Yet over 2,000 jumpers lost. That is a catastrophe.
This *PLAGIARIZED* "video" *IS FROM THE EARLY 2000s.......*
Karen ?
So? And yet you watched it.
sadly, its known for its gay bath houses - not the bridge.
What's wrong with that?
What is New York known for? Asking for a friend
