I know this is going to be a really dumb question... But why do they have to rinse the cliffside afterwards? Is that to encourage smaller rubble that may have been knocked loose to fall? That just doesn't seem like it makes very much sense...
Because the Norwegian Rangers are doing their jobs. And not just them, also everybody else, as simple tourist, geologist, nature wanderer, bird lover or even a humble tree hugger, you report your observation and the authorities takes measures.
It usually begins with lesser rocks falling down on the road beneath, which leads to measures. Personally I think this would have been a job for an artillery piece, even a Bofors anti-aircraft gun could have done the job efficiently! :)
Same here mosher.What I thought was going to happen was the vibrations from the chopper would start the collapse.But what are they doing so close to a highway?
Hats off to the helicopter pilot and the brave team of guys who installed the safety catch fence . Cheers from a Fjord Free land Down Under in Australia .
Norwegian engineers don't do things half-arsed.... :) Nobody wants that, and nobody with any respect for their profession or other people would consider that. There's about 2600 dams in Norway as well. Haven't heard about any accidents yet... must be minor if any at all.

Great video and awesome maneuvering of that helicopter and the wrecking ball underneath! Being Norwegian myself, I feel proud when I realize how stunningly beautiful our fjords are. Our surroundings are truly exceptional.
If this was in Portugal, we would creat a comitee to study what could be done. First the comitee should choose it s members, usually from the political party in power. Than, the comitee would spend a few million years in studies for some years, but all the studies would need a post-check from a previously created comitee. Than some would start wondering why this comitee was working for so many years, spending public Money and would start taking legal actions. The comitee would break, it s members would move along to other comitees or back in politics and everyone would forget about it. Than the rocks would finally colapse and kill someone. This would be on the news for a month and we would reach the conclusion that it was actually nobody s fault and although something could have been done to prevent it we should just hope it wont happen again and pray to God.
In Brasil they would build a scaffold and use whatever pieces as iron are about to start banging and prying on the rock. When it collapses and kills most of the workers, it becomes the lead story after the political news and is soon forgotten.
That's pretty much the rest of the world pal, they're all corrupt because if they was all good, then everyone would be agreeing getting along and everyone would be having just wonderful lives living free from corruption control and terror
That pilot is superb. Accuracy beyond belief when the weight is hanging 200 feet below your airborne platform. When doe s he ever get a chance to practice that shit, much less do it for real as in this video - superb airman ship !
+Ian Turner Not sure what the weight of water is in that container but it would have taken no small skill maintaining the same height as it was dropped.
The funny thing about these recommended videos, is that no matter what the content is, they will always get a huge lot of views. Then probably the algorithm will think "Oh look, a video I recommended got lots of views, lets recommend something similar but not too similar now". And that is how you end up watching videos from 10 years ago, wich have nothing to do with your video interests.
It's one of YT most annoying algorithm - sometimes i watch from another browser where I have not created a profile (although even that is had to do these days... just log into your gmail or hotmail once from that device and they have you pinned - very annoying)
That-was-AWESOME! Absolutely the most impressive clip I have seen in quite awhile. Just the fact that the authorities there in Norway had the forethought to take the needed action to not only knock the loose slab of rock down but then to make certain the cliff face was not holding onto any semi-loose rocks they went ahead and washed the rest down with water that probably was the equivalent of a years worth of rain/runoff. Very cool!

First of all, who do you think made the rocks loose in the first place? Second, they only accept porridge as payment, and the amounts they demand are too big to cook up!
trespire yeah i kinda agree. Mountain trolls would have been perfect for that. Unfortunately with the modern overy politically correct laws of norway, it became racist to hire them just for that.
This rock is actually a troll! They turn into stone as soon as the sun shines on them. This one forgot to hide in time, as the sun is almost always hidden behind a thick layer of cloud.
2:20 Wow, that rock fall net really works! Legitimately impressive stuff... the energy that boulder has is hard to comprehend. edit: also this looks like an absolute blast to do lol
_There are many nice jobs around the world, and being the helicopter pilot who help to maintain the people's safety by nocking down rocks in the norwegians fjords is one of the best jobs._
A long tunnel have now been built past this area. The road you see in the video is now closed for all traffic. I drove through the tunnel just a couple of weeks ago. During my childhood we drove a lot on this road. Sometimes it was closed because of rock fall or avalanches. It is risky driving along Norwegian fjords during heavy rain showers because of the unstable hillsides.
My god man i came looking for the reason why they threw the water at it and the description has this gem in it: "The helicopter then displays its dominance of the Fjord by urinating all over the rock face". Well done lad, well done!
I was just thinking to myself yesterday I’m getting tired of the same “hold my beer” and “am I a joke” comments plastered EVERYWHERE. So I click on this video and first comment I see? “Hold my beer” Stop being followers and learn to be leaders, sheep are boring!
An amazing display of physics. Definitely rewatched 1:31+ at .5 speed. I've lived next to crumbling mountains my entire life and never once got to see such a spectacle. It's happened and it will inevitably happen again. Fingers crossed I'm not in one of the unfortunate Volvo's or Saab's below when it does.
@@manormoose89 Yeah. To be honest I never even heard of a Saab before reading the video description but we definitely have Volvo's in North America. I was trying to be funny.
This makes perfect sense! Route 299 in Northern California has those metal screens to keep boulders off the road. You can look up and see the heavy weight of rocks the size of large cars! Still, you have to swerve to avoid the medium size ones that escape. Very risky during winter/ early spring. Cal-Trans needs to do something like this!
+TMIDiva Why a large car is your measurement unit? Cannot be a small car? Perfect sense, isn't? I will swerve just for you! Mbwaha, heh, heh, heh, heh, heeeeh! Bwaaah hahh, hahh!!!
The helicopter pilot has some amazing skills. This isn't like swinging a rope by hand to hit something. You have to make sure you stay level and at altitude while also making the helicopter sway the rope.
The description mentions concerns of "small rocks that may fail at another time and cream a Volvo or Saab on the road below." A large rock could probably smash a Saab, but for a Volvo if the entire mountain came down on top of it, it would be a nuisance as the driver would have to wait a while for the rescue crews to dig him out before he could resume his journey in his turbo brick. Might need to get some scratches in the paint fixed, that would also be a minor nuisance. We can't let that sort of hassle happen! Great video though, first time I've ever seen a helicopter with a wrecking ball - great idea.
I was thinking an Apache helicopter with a full weapons loadout would've been efficient - but resulting smaller stone frag would be propelled to unknown velocities & trajectories. Very cool vid.

This clip is approximately 3 and a half minute of pure info with only relevant visuals and no redundant sounds. If this was any US TV program/show, the relative length of this clip would be around 74 days long, and explaining in-depth how hurricanes almost toss the helpless helicopter around who was just adopted by an orphan who won the local award at age 23 for master engineering in the esteemed Angola university and ear piercing super dramatic free sample audio trying its best to overpower the presenter who is trying his best to scream despite his 10 000$ theatre classes and voice cord operation to sound like the Hollywood trailer presenter who was his dad's idol but sadly passed away when he was 9 and that left him with a will but first he had to go on a super dangerous expedition to the local mountain top at 200m with lethal obstacles like a fallen tree stump in the way and let's not forget about the fantastic engineering that a helicopter is, of which the pilot has trained for YEARS for this VERY task (like it's not his job) and if this rock wasn't forced to fall down it would actually FALL DOWN and cause the deaths of millions of people and might have caused a tsunami that could reach the shores of CALIFORNIA and in California right now there's a shortage of water but did you know that sea water is salt and you can't really drink it it has been scientifically proven by TOP SCIENTISTS and before I go on for another 72 minutes before showing a 5 second relevant clip we will now cut to a 15 minute long commercial break where we show you all our new shiny new products that nobody needs but you have to buy for the money you don't earn and mind you the 15 minute breaks are every 5 minutes and ... Oh yeah. Obviously I'm joking/taking a jab, but the worst part....... ..... is that despite a joke, I'm not so sure I'd actually be that far off
pfzzzer The pendulum forces are nullified as soon as the ball hits the rock. There are techniques the pilot can use to minimize the pendulum effect. You’re right, it is very dangerous.
fire wire That’s why they were striking towards the top of the rock column- breaking off smaller pieces. Slower, but safer. Hey- is that a Kaman helo in your picture? One of those (something) MAX models? Those things are cool!!!
Wow! Those rocks have been there for millions of years! Plenty more where they came from though, got to make things safe. 👍 Brilliant piloting from the chopper man, definitely done that before 😳

I'm curious as to how someone actually noticed that piece of rock was unstable.
Because the Norwegian Rangers are doing their jobs. And not just them, also everybody else, as simple tourist, geologist, nature wanderer, bird lover or even a humble tree hugger, you report your observation and the authorities takes measures.
Otto Weber i wish there were people like this in my country, what they are doing there is outstanding

It usually begins with lesser rocks falling down on the road beneath, which leads to measures. Personally I think this would have been a job for an artillery piece, even a Bofors anti-aircraft gun could have done the job efficiently! :)
jan using high velocity impacts is not the best idea. This results in long ranging shockwaves, potentially weakening more material.
Trully amazing to see a rock that size caught by that fence. That was also some great flying. First time I've seen a chopper with a wrecking ball.
Same here mosher.What I thought was going to happen was the vibrations from the chopper would start the collapse.But what are they doing so close to a highway?

+SweetMooch Lots of nice jobs out there but if I could pick then I reckon it would have to be an F1 driver.
Ludovic hahahahaha yet to each his own. Do what you love for work and it will never feel like you are working. Not everyone loves tires or Porsches. 🤔

Was Harrison Fjord the Pilot?
VancouverCanucksRock Boooooooo!
It's so satisfying seeing something so massive and destructive float so elegantly for a few seconds in midair.
This is a perfect example of a video not needing added music.
I just amazed by on this video . Such accuracy and Road management is Impossible in India

Where is Myles Cyrus when you actually want to see her.

Chuck Norris did that EXACT thing once with his fists & a water bottle, i think he called it the Grand Canyon.
Chuck Norris did this even before that. The only casualties that time were the dinosaurs.
@@mrjack8849 Oh yea, I totally forgot about that. Good call.
This clip is approximately 3 and a half minute of pure info with only relevant visuals and no redundant sounds.
If this was any US TV program/show, the relative length of this clip would be around 74 days long, and explaining in-depth how hurricanes almost toss the helpless helicopter around who was just adopted by an orphan who won the local award at age 23 for master engineering in the esteemed Angola university and ear piercing super dramatic free sample audio trying its best to overpower the presenter who is trying his best to scream despite his 10 000$ theatre classes and voice cord operation to sound like the Hollywood trailer presenter who was his dad's idol but sadly passed away when he was 9 and that left him with a will but first he had to go on a super dangerous expedition to the local mountain top at 200m with lethal obstacles like a fallen tree stump in the way and let's not forget about the fantastic engineering that a helicopter is, of which the pilot has trained for YEARS for this VERY task (like it's not his job) and if this rock wasn't forced to fall down it would actually FALL DOWN and cause the deaths of millions of people and might have caused a tsunami that could reach the shores of CALIFORNIA and in California right now there's a shortage of water but did you know that sea water is salt and you can't really drink it it has been scientifically proven by TOP SCIENTISTS and before I go on for another 72 minutes before showing a 5 second relevant clip we will now cut to a 15 minute long commercial break where we show you all our new shiny new products that nobody needs but you have to buy for the money you don't earn and mind you the 15 minute breaks are every 5 minutes and ...
Oh yeah. Obviously I'm joking/taking a jab, but the worst part.......
..... is that despite a joke, I'm not so sure I'd actually be that far off
Much better than ASMR videos
With the wrecking ball swinging the pendulum forces on the helicopter must make this job scary as hell let alone how dangerous must be!!
pfzzzer The pendulum forces are nullified as soon as the ball hits the rock. There are techniques the pilot can use to minimize the pendulum effect. You’re right, it is very dangerous.
pfzzzer . I think that the sling or chain that carries the wrecking ball absorbs most of the impact force.
United Nations:
Please both sides must show restraint..
Norway:
No they started it..
Mountains:
We are being oppressed by these devil's..
seems kinda dangerous if that huge rocks fall and stuck/hit the sling.. could effect in unbalance and drag the helicopter down
fire wire That’s why they were striking towards the top of the rock column- breaking off smaller pieces. Slower, but safer. Hey- is that a Kaman helo in your picture? One of those (something) MAX models? Those things are cool!!!
I was wondering what the water was for, I'm glad I read the description. Also gave me a laugh.
Wow!
Those rocks have been there for millions of years!
Plenty more where they came from though, got to make things safe. 👍
Brilliant piloting from the chopper man, definitely done that before 😳
