Whistle boy make a video on underground nuclear test
So what you're saying is that most European politicians are working for Vladimir Putin?
FYI, the conversions in the video are taking the measurements literally. Instead of a decimal, it’s taking it as a comma.. I’m at 2:28, 1,154mm is taken for 1.153 and shows 0,045in…😂
@@michaelsomerville6180 you
What was that sneaky frame insert during the US flag???
You should do an episode about the pipeline vessels!
Yes that thing looks freaking awesome
Spark have published a documentary on the machinery and the building of the pipeline
th-cam.com/video/XEFMgap6Ptg/w-d-xo.html
I'd watch that
I am pretty sure that someone got the graphic wrong @1:25 as 1,222 km does not convert to 0.75 miles. Excellent work chaps.
I think the editor probably used 1.222 in the calculator and didn't move the decimal. Also, @ 2:18, the diameter of the pipe in inches is listed as 0,045, which isn't wrong, but an answer you'd get if you entered 1.153 in the calculator. Don't know why they left the leading zero and comma there, and not @ 1:25. They did the same with the pipe wall thickness. Decimal in the wrong place on 2 out of the 3 measurements
The next graphic had a few errors as well. 1222m equals about .75 miles so only off by 3 orders of magnitude!
It might also be North America (US/Canada/Mexico) vs European nomenclature. 1,222 km in North America is shown as 1.222 km in Europe. Or the value of Pi is 3.1415 (North America) vs 3,1415 (Europe). This type of silly errors detract from otherwise good videos.
At the 6:40 mark while the American flag is waiving they added a flash of a red background with "Medla offline " written in 10 different languages. What kind of subliminal message are you trying to pulle here Simon?
Nah he just confused . with ,
A story about the ships that lay and repair international telecommunications cables would be good. The first ones but also modern ones.
Well, looks like the story continues :)
I liked (after I figured out how to look at it) the single frame of "Media Offline" message during the waving of the American flag.
Trump was right tho because as of today, russia is threatening Poland and Ukraine and using the pipeline as a means to control Germany.... apology accepted.
@@davidanalyst671 he's the rightist guy in the world
Nice little easter egg at 6:40 just for a few frames :D
I caught that to and it took me forever to stop and read what it says and it looks like it says "Medla or Media offline in 10 different languages with a red background. What type of subliminal message is Simon trying to send us here?
Meh, not an egg. It only says "Media Offline" 😂
The cats out of the bag.... we use Adobe Premiere ;)
I actually managed to screenshot it after a few attempts. No idea why I did it but…it’s there lol.
@@gilbertovega3976 HA HA! I did the same thing knowing full well I can't post pictures in the comment section of TH-cam lol. I think because it was my cell phone and it took me 15 minutes of play, pause, play pause, again and again and again, it was kind of my trophy for finally getting it! Lol. I even showed my girlfriend and she could care less! 🤣
Laying pipe has led to many huge controversies throughout our world, sometimes years in the future.
it already exists
Usually 9 months later is when things come to a head.
We all love layimg pipe tho
Despite unbearable pain
and it makes your mom happy, so lets let the pipe layers like me do our thing
6:40 there's a quick flash to a reddish screen that says "Media offline" in different languages XD
Had to look weeeeeeeery slowly to stop right that frame. Just a perfect spot for that as Russia and USA were mentioned in same sentence... I was hoping some eastern egg, but just a boring error message. :P
@@sasiuru Oh yeah I forgot you could slow the video down to catch it easier XD Took me 6 attempts to freeze it perfectly to look lmao. Wonder what it's from
It took me forever since I was watching it on a phone but I couldn't tell if it said Medla or Media Offline in 10 different languages. Was this a Subliminal message from Simon's workers as a cry for help? Notice he didn't give his coworkers any credit this video and he always explains Danny writes and I forget the person's name who sprinkles in the finest meme's.
Reminders of why the recent explosion should not be at all surprising.. the opponents were quite vocal for many years.
1:20 - Chapter 1 - It wasn't going to be easy
2:40 - Chapter 2 - International borders to cross
4:20 - Chapter 3 - War debris along the route
7:20 - Mid roll ads
8:30 - Chapter 4 - Construction could start in earnest
11:35 - Chapter 5 - Double the capacity
13:25 - Chapter 6 - The controversy continues
15:05 - Chapter 7 - Was it all above board ?
The war grave parts was retarded. No one had any issue sacrificing those men to get fuel imported into europe during WW2 so why would anyone care 70 years later if moving or destroying their gravesites meant bringing in far more fuel
8:54 - Lucas Audley - UX/UI Designer
6:40 - Media offline glitch
Never stop with the content. Your vids have taught me more than any school could.
You won't be the first or last because I think this every damn video Simon does. He and his team on every channel really should be viewing that teachers would try and get students and pupils to watch as the content is second to none...
Preach brother
Thanks :)
why not just go on wikipedia? Wikipedia isn't afraid to tell you that Russia is currently threatening an attack on Ukraine using the Nordstream 2 as leverage to rebuild the USSR
@@davidanalyst671 and not a damn us president in the last 25 years has had the balls to assassinate high ranking Chinese communist party officials with polonium 210 which is the calling card of the Russian counter intelligence service. We should have turned those two against each other years ago.
if anyone was wondering what that weird thing that flashed on scree during the american flag section was, it was a red background with the words: "media offline" in 10 languages
Its a rendering glitch generated by Adobe Premier. Pain in the arse when it happens
Thank you
You should definitely do a video on the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station. It was, until fairly recently, the worlds largest nuclear power generating station.
You should do a video about New York City Water Tunnel No. 3. Construction was started in 1970 and isn't expected to end until at least 2030. There's sandhogs who will spend their entire careers working on only this one project.
Simon, I notice when the script spoke of potential reliance on Russian gas that it neatly sidestepped the fact there would be no reliance if Germany and the other European nations weren't closing down their coal and nuclear generation facilities which was increasing their demand for Russian gas.
I don't know why they are shutting down their nuclear plants. They have something that works so well, why scrap it?
It's possible to make minimal nuclear waste by making new power plants that can easily process the parts of the fuel that most plants cannot.
@@briannem.6787 True, but their closure is part of the EU 'Woke' Green Campaign which is part of the EU Climate Change Panic Attack political movement.
@@ernestbywater411 Yeah, I am not discouraging green energy. However, for proper electrical grid operation, you need base-load power. Only hydroelectric plants and nuclear plants can do that without polluting.
People just got spooked because the soviets built a shitty reactor 40 years ago, even that only blew up because of improper training and maintenance. These days, we have power plants that maintain safety by themselves!
With waste issues solved by advanced reactor technologies, and reliable safety systems, a nuclear plant is a wiser option than hydro in most countries. A nuclear power plant doesn't harm wildlife by blocking fish movements and flooding valleys!
@@briannem.6787 The saddest aspect of the current push for Green Energy is the methodology they're pushing for is completely wrong and it has a worse carbon footprint than the correct method would. It seems to me the push is the way it is due to corruption and payouts to the politicians because the proper approach wouldn't see them get the payouts from the big companies profiting from the current methods.
Wind and solar power is brilliant when done on an individual residence of building basis and linked to the use of low voltage direct current usage within the residence or building. Vertical Axis Wind Turbines with solar panels and batteries have a much lower carbon footprint than the huge horizontal axis turbines and the steel towers for power grids. But if the governments supported individual residences going off of the grid the big power companies would lose the majority of their clients and profits, and the nations wouldn't have any blackouts or the like.
@@ernestbywater411 I like your point. You have quite a way with words. Hopefully we can work out what we are doing BEFORE we do irreversible damage?
It would be really neat to hear more about the laying machines, and also more maps with completion dates, and the routes.
I was surprised by how most of them have italian names. Castoro 10 and 6 implies there should be at least 10 of those laying pipes around.
What’s with the big UX/UI designer credit overlay on Simons face when talking about pipe construction scheduling? @8:53
Not sure how you would approach it, but I would love to see a video about the current gas to Europe situation and anticipated 50%+ increases! Great work across all your videos and channels! 🙏
Watch the fictional Norwegian TV series "Occupied". I believe it is still on Netflix. Worth a watch and is related to the implications suggested in this Megaprojects.
Nice piping comments here! Keep them flowing!
Watch where you are 'Putin' that pipe.
I'm seriously concerned about the quality of that control valve.
😆
I feel like every minute you could have Greta saying "How dare you!" and it would fit.
In case anyone curious about what it said during that flash at 6:40, it says media offline on top of a transparent red screen and a bunch of different languages
Only gay people are able to see it btw
What's the worst that could happen?
Question: How gas passing through underwear newer pipeline is more dangerous than the very same gas passing through the older (and presumably non-maintained) transit system of the countries that were openly threated blocking the transit?
The new pipe is not as deep as the old one. The main concern is that big ships may damage it.
Poland started building gas port before new pipe was even talked about. Then Russia and Germany decided to build this pipe which would block the biggest LNG ships from delivering to Polish port. The route of the pipe was forced to be changed. Now the main issue is political. Russia is transmitting gas through Poland and Ukraine but with this pipe they can have "accident" and shut the old one off while still using new one to deliver to Germany
@@SickPrid3 I mean its their gas, they can do whatever they want with it. Would you pay unnecessary money when you can do it for free.
Exactly.
@@overlord4404 They wont be doing it for free. The new line passes through different countries territorial waters. They have to pay them instead
@@SickPrid3 not territorial waters, only eez and eez only matters when you exploit resources there not transport them
Thanks
My father was one of the pipe fitters who connected the sea line to the station. He enjoyed the building project
Tell your father thank you for his skilled craftsmanship.
A huge fact is missing in this video: After Russia the biggest owner of natural gas reservoirs is Iran and even some studies assume Iran has more gas than Russia. There was a plan about 2 decades ago to build a pipeline from Iran to Europe to end the dependency on Russian gas but it was abandoned because of American sanctions.
Not to mention the fact that Iran is extremely hostile towards the west and Russia controls many countries in the region and will do anything to keep anyone from bypass Russia or their satellite states since that weakens the 1 successful part of their economy and their single most powerful bargaining chip when it comes to international politics: European dependence in Russian fuel. American sanctions are just 1 part of the situation and the reason America got involved in the first place was due to Europeans desperately wanting Iranian fuel and the soviets trying to disrupt that trade. There are other countries the Arabian peninsula nations and Iraq that could supply fuel via pipelines but they face the same Russian/Iranian meddling trying to block those pipelines. That's why so many nations got involved in Syria: the eastern Mediterranean is controlled by only a couple countries but is a prime location for the pipeline so if you disrupt them you can hold up the whole pipeline
@@arthas640 - Iran largely minds it's own business, it's the West/israel who have harassed Iran since 1979. Who has Iran attacked since 1979 compared to the US/NATO? Do make your reply juicy for me!
Lmao more propaganda. “Iran minds its own business” … they’re the largest sponsors of terrorism on the planet…
@@brandonvasser5902 name 1 country that isn't Iraq that Iran has invaded before, bRaNdOn
@@akk9196 Iran commits the greatest sin of all threatening the life blood of capitalism flowing through the straits . So you will get revolution eventually 👍
Anyone else notice the media offline at 6:40
Yes, I see it now.
@3:03 had me quite confused for a few seconds eyeing around the room
“Media offline” flash frame at 6:40.
Is this some kind of mind control Simon???
I think that's an error from Adobe Premiere
We learned about Pluto as kids on the Isle of Wight! 🎉
Could you do an episode about the advancements in dentistry? (Looks like you had some work done around 2-4 recently. Good on you for working with those sorts of things under construction... bin 'der dun 'dat.)
Episode suggestion: the Little Big Inch Pipeline. A pipeline that stretches from Texas to the north east. Was built in less than 1 year during WWII to prevent u boats sinking American tankers n the Gulf of Mexico. The pipeline is still in use today. Also other infrastructure wonders would be appreciated.
Despite PLUTO, Patton ran out of gas.
Love,
David
PS., Look up the Red Ball Express of WWII
There goes that project
6:15 Wow, a hint that the employment was a bribe.
7:47 paid streaming services have no ads you say?
I see one right now.
That's a nice pipeline they have there, shame if someone dragged an anchor over it, or one of them old sea mines blew it up, right Tony?
Yes
Be sad for Europes gas supply too! Better stock up with warm coats.
nice job on goosing the imperial conversions
Are the number of unit conversion errors and "what Simon says" vs. "what appears on screen" errors going up? This one had a lot.
Maybe an episode about „Projekt Hummerschere“ (project lobster claw). The Nazis wanted to build a Harbour that was so huge, even they planned on a 30-year construction time.
I think video on the P-8 Poseidon anti submarine aircraft would be hella cool
6:39 there is flashed image which seems to be something in Russian. Anyone else see it?
LONG LIVE THE TSAR.
Brainwashing his followers?
@@megaprojects9649 Simon the Tsar
The info graphic showing pressure to pipe thickness is upside down
Thanksgiving=a harvest festival
Someone slept on the job in megaprojects 😂😂😂. Those faulty unit conversions gave me serious ocd 🤣
That "subliminal" "message" at 06:40 :D
I caught that too and it took me forever to stop exactly on it and it says "Medla or Media Offline" in 10 different languages. Was this a Subliminal message by one of Simon's workers as a cry for help? Notice he didn't give credit to Danny or the other person who sprinkles in the finest meme's!
at 6:40 theres a very short clip of a screen that reads: media offline.
Anyone see what that flash of a frame at 6:40 ish said?
I miss my nuclear power plants
What's with the frame at 6:40 that has the phrase a Media Offline in several different languages? 🤔
Not ready Europe better now but still a little magical thinking around
What's up with the creepy background music? There's nothing scary about a pipeline.
That was well explained.
I see what you did there. Thank you.
Gazprom wanted to have security troops in Karlskrona, which is a naval base. So that's f*cked up
Nobody has ever pointed out Simon's shirt game.... they're not fancy or flashy but damn they're always perfect.
Brain boy, you gorgeous beast.
For how long after this video was dated was it still the longest pipeline, I.E. when, relative to the video date, did it become two pipelines each longer than half the length of the longest?
Kerch bridge next?
What's up with the "media offline" thing in the video? it flashes really quickly? did anyone else catch that?
Did anyone notice the blip on the screen at 6:40 when the American flag was up
Relying on someone else to provide leads to power over providing "said thing." However the days of self sufficiency are for the most part over (personally and nationally). Just be careful who holds something you or your country cannot live without.
Angela Merkel was pulling on the valve wheel not connected to anything.
Great video. @ 2:30 the pipeline diameter is 45 inches not .045 inches
Your channel is wonderful.. There are beautiful stories such as:
1. The story of the Tapline pipeline
2. The story of the largest water desalination project in Saudi Arabia
3.The story of the tallest fountain in the world King Fahd Fountain in Jeddah
Or future stories that have begun to be implemented, such as:
1. The story of building the world's largest solar energy in NEOM, which will equal half of the world's nuclear and solar capacity
2. The story of building the largest living museum in the world in the city of Al-Ula, across a line that passed through the ancient Arab civilizations
3. The story of building Oxagon, the largest floating industrial city with clean energy for the robotics industry
4. The story of the start of the largest cultural city project in Diriyah
5. The story of the start of the project of the largest theme park in the world, which will break some records
6. The story of building the Linear City in NEOM
7. The story of the start of the Makkah Path project to improve the quality of life for the people of the city
8. The story of the beginning of the expansion of Al-Jibel Industrial City to be the largest industrial city in the world.
There are several good topics here! :) Don't know about most of them, but would sure love to hear Simon the ones his research team can think they can make a good episode on.
What was that text that briefly flashed up on the American flag? I couldn't quite stop exactly on it. Oh and the perils of passing through everyone's backyard...too many palms to grease and too many bodies to dispose of (Russian style)
It's a media encoder error. It's says media offline in a number of languages.
@@Xan-Asmodi Thanks, thought it was subliminal messaging 😂
@@dc-4ever201 I did too! That's why I wanted to find out what it said.
6:39 or 6:40 Anyone see what that graphic was that flashed for a fraction of a second?
Yup. You just need to slow down playback to the lowest point (0.25 times) and then you'll see it. But it's underwhelming, really. I was disappointed.
Media Offine @6:40
So what was that flash I saw while the American flag was shown around 6:39?
@ 6:40...the flash is only saying "Media Offline" in a multitude of languages.Everyone can breathe easy. No subliminal messages here, folks.
9:00 Hi Lucas
@6:40 Mmh 1 frame with a "Media offline" message appearing .. now i wanna know what was offline...
The US withdrew sanctions saying they could put sanctions on later if Russia did something else wrong. So the sanctions, which were partially meant to prevent Europe from relying on Russia for its electricity, we’re withdrawn with the idea that after Europe is even more dependent on Russia, that more sanctions could be placed on later?
Does this seem backwards to anyone else? Pull sanctions to give your adversary more leverage and say you can put them back on later after your adversary has even more leverage?
It's a policy of the Biden administration. Of course it doesn't make sense.
6:40 media offline for a split second. :)
CAN YOU AT LEAST DO A SIDE-PROJECTS!!!!
Pease do the YF-23 vs the YF-22.
There is plenty of footage and this competition helped shape the modern Air Force.
this is the only good video I found about YF-23 but it does not compare the two jets

Eh, the Csanadians have a Thanksgiving as well. And its basically a harvest celebration from way back. Gather your family and enjoy a nice big meal giving thanks for the harvest's bounty for there will be lean times ahead.
Two Germany Videos in a row!
Bar doesn’t make sense to power plant operators in the USA. We use PSIG
It is amazingly positive about a basic political project.
It seems like land routes is still more environmentally sound.
"Vladimir Putin stated that the ecological safety of the pipeline project would be ensured by using the Baltic fleet of the Russian navy" - wonder how that will pan out in light of today's news about possilbe saboteurs.

check pipe thickness
What is the yellow background picture that flashes at 6:40 when the American flag is on screen?
megaproject but also megageopoliticalquagmire....
well, this story is about to get complicated
At 6:40 there's an odd frame in the vid
Just imagine the personal touch of brain blaze in this video. Simon talking about "laying pipe" then a rare snippet of his past and university times involving a "friend" laying pipe!
I spent about 6 minutes trying to catch that one red frame with red text at 6:41, hoping it to be some kind of hadden message or joke about the subject.
Imagine how dissapointed I was when u finally got it.....
Um... whats up with the text that blips up at 6:40 ? Media offline?
You should do a video on Russian fisherman flooding our king crab market

Btw, what is that "Media offline" in 6:40?
Do the tram network of melbourne australia
Why lol
2:35 you might wanna check your graphics. They seem to suggest that the internat diameter of 1153mm equals 0.045inch. Or maybe i am reading it wrong?
SBHALLA 🤯How is possible that 4 month ago you predicted the future? And also proof that it’s all manipulated by politicians and economic interest. Masha Allah 🙌🏾
