    You forgot that one time the President, a gambler, and a Roman all fought for the Dam with the help of a mailman

    Was lucky enough to visit the Hoover Dam in 2006, when you could drive over it, on approach it doesn't look that big, when on it, it's so impressive, fantastic piece of engineering.

    I was fortunate enough to see it March 2022 as a stop on our tour from Vegas to Grand Canyon and it truly is amazing in person.

    I am from Kerela, A small state in India
    We have a Dam here called Mullaperiyar dam
    The engineer who designed that dam declared that its expiry will be after "50 "years, still now that Dam is alive and its age is "126 "year
    The people living in kerala are in trouble the authorities not giving their focus in this issue
    If that dam collapse more than 40 lakh people will die😭😭😭
    Give us some foriegn support everyone please... 🙏🙏🙏

    Those 4 circular apartment buildings @ 2:43 that housed the original dam construction workers turned out to be an excellent idea as water intake towers, and they took almost no time to convert.

    For the LOVE of Human Rights, thanks so much for not Glorifying the Engineering disaster waiting to happen. Damn...we love the Hoover Dam! We love the engineering of the document known as the United States of America's Constitution!

    So on one of the storm people they were showing the hurricane in a black tube come out. But also on one of the pictures or videos carving out a rotation hole somewhere on the other side do you think they got some of these plays alternated to to where it's going to cause us to have a misalignment

    Not adding up if the whole point of the dam was to stop the water from flowing how did they build it because that would mean the water still would’ve been flowing before they started building the dam 🤔

  • @stevenstair1068
    @stevenstair1068 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You better go see it before mead drys completely up and the dam shuts down.. I remember my grandfather telling me when I was very little that it was never meant to last forever that it would slowly dry and cease to work...

    Interesting lack of information about the current state of the dam given Lake Meads water levels... soon it wont even have enough water moving through it to generate energy at all. Fun fun fun!!

    "Every year 7,000,000 people visit the dam." 7,000,000 divided by 365 days = 19,178 people PER DAY visit the dam. Nice video but I'm calling BS. I would guess about 300 people per day visit the dam.
