The lowest stations on the London Underground have had huge flood doors for nearly a century, long before the Thames Barrier was more than a school boy project. The Prague Metro has had flood doors on the lowest stations for 20 years. New Yorkers have all the money necessary to jack the entire place up on stilts OR to abandon the lower floors with elevated road running past the 4th floor. With a building 50-80 floors high, who gives a tinker's damn about the bottom 3 floors ? As for building embankments, Hurricane Katrina revealed to us that American's are not very good at that.
Prague's metro was built in the 70s already with flood doors - their secondary purpose was however to serve as seals in the event the metro would be used as shelter for atomic bombings. Because they were never action tested, when the floods of 2002 happened, most failed and the whole endeavor became moot (though even if they didn't fail it would have had the same conclusion, since the Nádraží Holešovice metro was under reconstruction at the time, and was basically a giant open hole, directly next to the river). It is exactly because NYC's metro is so old, that retrofitting is much more complicated - the cut and cover method very close to street level, with ample side-walk grate ventilation makes installing flood gates largely a useless waste.
@@serebii666 Thanks for the reply. Just like the London "Underground", the great majority of which isn't "UNDER" anything, so, the great majority of the New York "Subway" is not "SUB" anything either, in fact, a lot of it is stuck up on stilts. As for Prague, as you wrote, in 2002 most of the so.called protection was useless, and I suggest, was never intended to stop flood water or the entrances would have been placed higher ... far simpler than flood doors .... and in the 1970s, there was still very little metro. The original plan had been to transfer some of tram lines in Central Prague underground to free up some road space but it was under Soviet pressure that the idea of a BOMB-PROOF proper metro was conceived. It was only after the 2002 floods that PROPER flood doors were fitted. There were some problems in 2013 but NOTHING like would have happened without those doors. As for New York, they will probably wait till there is a catastrophic disaster and THEN they will think about it.
@@terryhoath1983 ", in fact, a lot of it is stuck up on stilts." Not in Manhattan, and that was the point of the subway - the lower the trains from their existing condition as elevated rail, where they were noisy, hard to maintain and cast shadowed, under street level underground, to improve quality of life, ventilation and views.. "and in the 1970s, there was still very little metro." In the 70s already the city center sections of the A line(from current Dejvická to nám Míru) and C lines (from Kačerov to current Florenc) were completed. "The original plan had" That was the original plan from the 1930s that was revived in 1963. Under that concept the C line broke ground in 1966, but already in 1967 it fell apart, as it was determined to create a dedicated underground system due to the fact that the tram system was overcrowded, the frequency of stops made it very slow and it was fundementally incapable of serving Prague's future transport needs. A deep bored metro was already understood to be necessary, due to Prague's great changes in elevation - especially between the elevation change of the Dejvice Plateau, under the Vltava and again up to Vinohrady. This all preempted any Soviet pressure. What was however pressured by the Soviets was implementing the 81-709 (Ečs) carriage type, abandoning the ČKD R1 prototype, but that was also partly due to the fact that ČKD would not be able to deliver series production of the R1 in time for the metro openings in 1974, since its production capacity was being taken up by trams intended for export into the USSR that was prioritized. "that PROPER flood doors were fitted." No, you are wrong. The doors I am referring to, and which existed since original construction, are the large steel hermetic doors that are placed between the passage from the escalators and the lower concourse and again on the tracks themselves just beyond the station exits themselves. It is the Ochranný systém metra. You are referring to the movable steel slats that are put in place by firefighters at street level, this is an entirely separate thing. The original system called for basically sacrificing the upper vestibule and escalator tubes, while keeping the tracks and lower stations sealed off and pumping out any potential water. And the reason for that was exactly because from the early days of the Metro - the Stations at Malostranská, Staroměstská and Florenc would all be at risk of flooding. New York is thinking about it now, the issue is as I wrote above, retrofitting and disruption. It still has supremely outdated block signaling on much of its tracks exactly due to the damage having to have even small sections of the subway closed for upgrades for any period of time. NYC's great problem is a lack of redundancy to be able to embark on these upgrades.
@@terryhoath1983 Perhaps we could get a little of that Soviet style make~it~happen here in Dublin, a (more~or~less) comparable sized city to Prague, and maybe then we'll finally - *finally,* _finally(!)_ get our long~projected underground 'system' (one line)!

Just like New Orleans... even when you have a chance to move it above see level... they still to rebuild below sea level... What drives people to be so stupid?
what does drive them indeed. i mean in the 70s they told us new orleans would be under water by 2020 and that our grandkids would never see snow. every few years they come out with the same crap. some of us have lived it literally for decades lol. also its crazy how much luxury housing is sold ON the coast of all these states, while the news tells you its gonna go under. it didnt go under by 2020. we still have snow. and the homes are still selling like hotcakes. seems the media..is what makes the people so stupid.
They are port cities. They are strategically located where they are for trade purposes. This is where good engineering is supposed to mitigate flood risks
The answer is in the first minute of the video. The threat of flooding was basically nonexistent until very recently when we started getting hit with hurricanes.
@@nuggets0717 you poor thing, then why in the 60s and 70s were they telling us the same stuff they are telling you now? if it was supposed to happen by now and didnt, what makes you think its gonna happen when they say it will this time.
New York will not be saved in it's present globally prominent position, because that will not be cost effective for the corporations and politicians who have the power to protect it. Money rules New York, and profits will determine what is done year by year. Developers will continue to profit from building in threatened areas - and then leave town with their profits when sea level rise floods those areas. Corporations will abandon New York and move to cheaper cities on higher ground when floods make it uneconomical to stay - many have already prepared or are preparing new locations for that future. Politicians know this, and so will not raise corporate taxes to the level needed to fund permanent solutions. Yes, they are taking steps to slow the destruction of New York while New York remains a cash cow for the politically and financially well connected - but they're not going to prevent its eventual downfall, that would cost too much. In a hundred and fifty years it will be a much smaller, much less important city on the high ground currently covered with cemeteries, on high ground in the outer boroughs, and on floating neighborhoods taking advantage of the increased water surface area - but it's former glory days will be just a footnote in history.
You could expect similar with London and Tokyo and other waterfront cities in general. Everywhere there'd be a retreat inland and the blossoming of reefs and potential tourist attractions. Would be interesting to see NYC in 200 years
As for downtown New York City, I could see it moving to the Palisades in New Jersey and to Staten Island's high ground (although contamination from the Fresh Kills Landfill might be an issue). Businesses might simply move upriver to the Catskills.
There's precedent for this in drier territory. Look at Bunker Hill in Los Angeles... That was a new "downtown" built near the "original" one. (It turns out that even DTLA isn't LA's original downtown - the honor belongs to the "Pueblo", a neighborhood near Los Angeles Union Station.)
Humanity will not last 150 years! Do you really thing at some point nuclear weapons will not be used! When have humans ever not used the weapons the have made!
That's actually funny considering that NYC people get taxed 55 percent lol they go to work and get more then half there check taken and given to crack mother's and there drug babies
NYC is technically an island with exception of The Boogie Down…out of the “5 boroughs,” The Bronx is the only borough that is connected to mainland America!
Thank you. Very interesting. Lived in NY for over a decade, but was in Africa during Hurricane Sandy. Thankfully my apartment was in upper Manhattan which is at a higher elevation than lower Manhattan so no damage.

I just watched the movie The Day After Tomorrow that depicts a plausible extreme scenario of the future for NYC. I’ve had many nightmares over the last 2 years of people drowning in the underground garages.
@@Aisha_Davis trust me most of this video is click bait. Now enough about city to know future flood areas. This video mostly talks about Manhattan and barely the outer Brough locations.
12:37 💦 Every🌪️ few years according to meteorologist predictions we need to drop the bay sea levels open the gates and start a countdown for that water that will be coming to the city 😢
This documentary was released in 2019, as mentioned in the description. The challenges it highlights remain as relevant as ever. Nothing stops you from diving deeper into the topic - the internet awaits! 😉
Love this video- I noticed though that most of these protections were for manhattan, I live in brooklyn, most of nyc is in the boroughs, where is our protection?!!
Ridiculous. The problem with New York is that it’s the only major coastal city I’ve seen without a proper ‘sea wall’ or flood embankment. Go to London and see the difference. And somewhere like Amsterdam is several metres below sea level. Just get some proper engineers to look at it
The models always show NYC under water--that's the highlight, but when will the Palisades overflow or will water flood through the tunnel infrastructure and inundate NJ? And, what's the impact looking like for the remainder of the US Eastern coast? Washington DC? Boston? Philadelphia? Baltimore? Richmond? Norfolk? Charleston?
The auto tunnels have huge gates to close off the island from Long Island and New Jersey. Doesn’t include the train tunnels though. I’m thinking about the rest of the cities: they don’t form a right angle like NYC that forces the water in. It’s kind of unique in that regard. I think the other big problem will be Miami… South Florida will be underwater long before NY.
The Chinese are over fishing or rivers so think of another project as people tend to go fishing in our rivers then leaving their fishing lines not only in the rivers but in or on the sidewalk where birds get caught on these fishing lines and die
What a strange video. When i can hear the narrator's voice over the 'music', she sounds oddly chirpy, annoyingly so. True, NY needs to put in place robust flood barriers etc. The ones they use nowadays seem ineffective re recent floods.
Sea level rise is global problem, and no one can reverse. The solution to protect New York from sea rise are simple. The New York State must find new ways for protecting themself, or let find me for solution, then they will fund the project to protect themself with the most effective technology (undisclosed).
I love living in NYC. It really is the greatest city in the world. Good thing we don’t get a lot of storms. There are a lot more USA states that have worse natural disasters risk. Look at poor California’s catastrophic apocalyptic fires. The other states that get so many dangerous tornadoes every year. The ones that get earthquakes and are waiting for the big one to strike. I love Greenwood cemetery. It’s actually 216 ft above sea levels at the battle field. It’s an absolutely beautiful view of the Statue of Liberty. Yes the man in this video is crazy and has a lot of wrong facts.these two are a bunch of New York haters. Haters from France lol. Be careful what you wish for….. Floods, landslides and storms often occur in France. In summer times, heat waves, forest fires and drought are getting to occur more and more frequently. South-Eastern France also experiences earthquakes and volcano activities.
There building a replica of Manhattan in long Island gueens no joke all the middle class who cant afford rent are moving there leaving the rich behind not because of flooding but because of rent
Manhattan will only have rich people no middle class no poor people all 20 miles of Manhattan is soon be moved to higher ground long Island city buy the 100 bus stop
Don't panic, didn't you hear what Trump has been saying; "The sea levels will only rise maybe 1/8 of an inch over the next 300-400 years". Don't forget, he is an expert on all subjects. BTW, tone down that music; gesh!!
This is the biggest contradicting video I have ever seen towards climate change. Heaven forbid did our quest for economical expansions destroy some natural habitats?
Interesting/informative/entertaining😉 Thayer If this presentation is more then speculation😴.

Make the best preparations humanly possible. If the catastrophe takes place/plan to greet & meet " King 👑Neptune "😲.
не совсем понятно - NYC конечно крутой город, но никакого смысла в его существовании нету. затопит там - будет то же самое в другом месте. чемодан без ручки
I don't know about you but there is a question keeps going back and forth in my head ... Why do new yorkers focus only on Manhattan??? it is a pretty crowded very congested island why don't they build in Brooklyn, or Queens or the Broncos they are all within New York and they could hold as many skyscrapers as they wish to build why dose it all have to be on a vurnable surface in Manhattan because it might be drawn due to the pressure on the land even the streets are so damn narrow and traffic is killing them and they are still building skyscrapers in Manhattan 😂😂😂😂
Like the same bs they said thirty years ago would happen in fifteen years or this different? Hard to believe anything like this. May be it will happen. Live your life and enjoy it.

WHY DO YOU THINK THEY BUILT PYRIMIDS. GO TO HIGHER GROUND DURING HIGH FLOODS
The pyramids are on a plateau and are actually tombs of dead pharaohs. They are not living apartments.
Block the channel of flow and build up the surrounding structures to help slow the rise.
When rebuilding cities people only think about small time and economy .where they supposed to thing long time and people .
Don't panic, didn't you hear what Trump has been saying; "The sea levels will only rise maybe 1/8 of an inch over the next 300-400 years". Don't forget, he is an expert on all subjects. BTW, tone down that music; gesh!!
This is the biggest contradicting video I have ever seen towards climate change.
Heaven forbid did our quest for economical expansions destroy some natural habitats?

Interesting/informative/entertaining😉 Thayer If this presentation is more then speculation😴. Excellent still-motion photography pictures 📷/animated map drawings/guest speakers sharing personal information pertaining to the possible flooding of the ( 5-boroughs ). The planet is 🌎 as the plant does🌎😲. Before the Egyptians started keeping records😉. 👌. Allegedly California is scheduled to fall into the Pacific ocean one day. Make the best preparations humanly possible. If the catastrophe takes place/plan to greet & meet " King 👑Neptune "😲.
Thank you for sharing these intriguing thoughts. 😉

Your projections are flawed and your maps are incorrect as all hell. Try again with proper data rather than scare tactics.

I don't know about you but there is a question keeps going back and forth in my head ...
Why do new yorkers focus only on Manhattan??? it is a pretty crowded very congested island why don't they build in Brooklyn, or Queens or the Broncos they are all within New York and they could hold as many skyscrapers as they wish to build why dose it all have to be on a vurnable surface in Manhattan because it might be drawn due to the pressure on the land even the streets are so damn narrow and traffic is killing them and they are still building skyscrapers in Manhattan 😂😂😂😂
Like the same bs they said thirty years ago would happen in fifteen years or this different? Hard to believe anything like this. May be it will happen. Live your life and enjoy it.
