Engineering gone wrong

[jaywyn022409]

don't trust civil engineers,, instead trust structural engineers

[lovelplants]

yea it's the engineer who's responsible to this but sometimes a phenomena will come and destroy..

[analyzingfunny]

lol at 6:19. wow what a driveway. Better have a fucking wench.

[analyzingfunny]

there were once a pair of towers 110 floors high. And just a bunch of jet fuel brought them to the ground and to dust. It even broke all the beams at exacting intervals convenient for hauling. All hail the power of jet fuel. Jet fuel is amazing.

[Serckep]

gone wrong? you are stupid or you dont know the meaning of "on purpose" or "photoshop"?

god damn these 2 IQ digit fucktards

[gekkeabt]

a life wihout engineers is nothing

[sophie58278]

jejeje that is only viewing of demolition of bldg. change to new one

[piqueret]

the title of the video is misleading - things failing due to earthquakes or landslides are not "engineering gone wrong". The engineers may have planned for an earthquake of a particular strength that was less than the fatal one.

[doh1959]

leaning tower of blocko land

[fonemesser]

look at 0:12 reminds me of twin towers!! wtf!!

[SilentHunter84]

Cool video, colleague! In July I get my master degree in civil structural engineering.

[1JjOoEe1]

did anyone die at 4:44?

[MaedaMoonie]

@1JjOoEe1 Don't know how many but yes, people died.

[GrounderTheRobot]

Makin Bacon!

[benw306]

3:16 why didnt they just push it over :-P

[lack76]

Oh hi load bearing wall

[Shirokinukatsukami]

That music is godawful. i hope your abilites as a civil engineer are exponentially better than your taste in music. And relax, i am just saying...

[Jerbod2]

as you can see... we dont control everything... nature always wins in the end.

[ThePixelChaos]

dammit, its the 21st century, where the hell is all the anti grav plating that could be turned on in an emergency n just let the whole building hover. ... ..yea ok that wouldnt work would it.

[ransom1wi]

well its also to to standards take the Autobahnen its alote thicker than the roads we have here and it lasts a lot longer and doesnt have the potholes etc our roads in the states have. pretty much what im saying is you get what you pay for.:)

[welshforever123]

you have got to see the state of the roads in great britain now that spending has been cut

[usayash]

Which song and band is that?

[Kobaganda]

Structural Engineers FTW! :D

[sanandreasboy2000]

theyre not projects... theyre nature fatals...

[michael9678727]

the one with the dance fall collapsing was due to punching shear failure.

[germensrule1]

lol

[Princeigor]

There's a spy creepin' around here...

[rkoliver1]

It's Bush's fault!

[ProfessorIgor]

that first implosion @ :11 was the Hudson's Building in Detroit. it went of very well with only some minor damage to the People Mover rail deck.

[bshupejr]

The comments about the stadium collapse due to wind stress is wrong. I grew up in Seattle where this happend (UofW husky stadium). The reason no one was hurt was because the collapse happened on a Sunday morning. It was planned, controlled and executed on schedule. The reason was that they discovered that the WAY they were building that addition to the existing stadium was not going to work out as planned so they had to start over. They rebuilt the stadium verbatium but with improved technique.

[gnapero]

whoa 4.43

[MrCheshireCats]

What is the music!!???

[novatodeguitarra]

urban laughter and carmina burana

[BoogsterSU2]

Truly, the last one doesn't lack common sense.

[Spanky00Cheeks]

Civil engineering (those who make bridges and buildings) is where you will find the laziest and dumbest people in engineering.

And they are still harder working and smarter than you!

Electrical engineering FTW!

[adrian5b]

Laziest engineers: industrial engineers... that shouldn't even be considered an engineering, and you don't need a whole engineering degree to be an electrician, you could easily hire an electric technician and be well suited.

Civil engineering FTW!

[amitk19]

The one in the last frame absolutely lacked common sense, what a stupid fu...k, must be one of those guys from Afghanistan.

[IamJacksColon4]

is the first pic real and is there a article on this anywhere?

[eddyolivares]

nice song!!

[TheAussiNut]

5:03 "Not always is Human Error - In Many Cases By Nature" ??? wtf its still human error, nature didnt build it there humans did, can't blame nature for doing it's thing like it has for millions of years, mistake is they built there & didnt see it comming

[nielsvdp4]

Factor 2.2 ??

[aidan76543]

What's the name of the song?

[casetalasort]

I forget the name, I think it's called urban laughter, but I'm not sure.

The group is called Bannanafishbone. I recomend it.

Enjoy

[joparik228]

Bananafishbones - Urban Laughter

[totalyknz]

im going to be a freshman next year... i think ill stay with mechanical engineering

[sstephens152003]

Hahaha im a junior civil engineering student. maybe i should change majors after watching this??? jk i love it

[Messerschmit]

Naw, stick with it. I love my job, even though it puts me through hell and I have to put up with a lot of shit. But there is no better feeling then to say, yes I just build 8km of road and got it in way under budget.

[GBallaJ]

@Messerschmit do you make alot of $?

[vkgfx]

looks like being a civil engineer sucks

[ifaeverybody]

it does not this movie only shows things gone wrong ;)

[adrian5b]

only the best can handle it

[refluxie]

lol

[Bryan6446]

Whats the song that starts at 4:26 ?

[Messerschmit]

that is O Fortuna by Karl Orff

[mlke4258]

Cool Video!

[canunu1]

i would say that the majority of engineering failures are due to the contractors who make on sight decisions and try to cut corners to make the most profit because in engineering we are always taught to make something stand much more than it will actually experience, so even though boundaries and ideas are being pushed and set to knew levels, engineers design everything to the utmost safety at the most cost effective price for that factor of safety

[yourname240]

it was alright, the first pic was the best.

[transdrole]

slideshows are boring

[mapapeda]

awesome!! thanks messerscmit

[mapapeda]

who sings this song?

[Messerschmit]

Band name is "Bananafishbones" and the name of the song is "Urban Laughter"

[nelsonrow]

this aint boring dont watch it then. structual civil all kinds of engineering is a master mind in its self.

[ParkourDanGB]

i blame blacks

[Komosel64]

Nice job.

[fajadody]

5:40

[scdlbrdr]

Do you guys remember watching the WTC's collapsing? Perfect example of an engineered infrastructure failure.

[wwestyler95]

booooooooooring

[kurdtw0]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzz­ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[Daarriuus]

Hi guys,

Some of You were asking the name of the first song. It's BANANAFISHBONES - URBAN LAUGHTER

[hotusx]

yes it is because of the flutter effect

it is actually a classic example of flutter in the aeroelasticity course in almost every aerospace engineering faculty

[SlavaVB]

leaning tower of piza might give it some artistic value

[boy44412]

the one with the wedding hall collapse, was not just b/c there were too many people, but the owner of the hall had removed some of the support pillars so that the hall underneath would look better.

[brandon3678]

that guy at the end was very very lucky

[MasterChiefAgent007]

Also you had demolisions gone wrong, not engineering.

[Jesus45U]

Demolishion is also a type of engineering though.

[MasterChiefAgent007]

Well what can I say, your video is the worst piece of YouTube video ever. Do little research before postic epic fails.

[Z00mStrange]

So you've seen over 5000 youtube clips and this is the worst ever. You've lost your account presumably for being as annoying as you are here. What other brilliant contributions have you made to society, I wonder?

[langerCAN]

epic fail.

[twitcher64]

for the first one: POWNED!

[jjohn2k]

Was that Jim Henson by chance?

[brandon3678]

lol

[Ashcashcash]

haha the first picture is funny

[kdaveson]

Didn't this strike a nerve with the engineers? Don't worry guys, just do what you normally do - blame the architects.

[Furrowbrow]

I like to blame the contractors.. just to be different. :D

[oAdam27o]

haha, that guy at the end. lol.

almost killed himself

[JackJudo]

veramente bravi questi ingegneri in scienza e tecnica delle costruzioni!!!!!ma la dinamica e la statica e l'elasticità degli edifici non le hanno imparate??? ma ke bravi io sono qui al Politecnico di Milano ke mi faccio un culo così e questi sbagliano!!!

[bustacrab]

first photo is photshopped

[chulk607]

"bustacrab - first photo is photshopped "

obviously... why point this out?

The sky is blue, most birds can fly and humans are mammals just in case you wanted to know.

[rubicon705]

dude, what the fuck, of course it's photoshopped

[HamedMAX]

Thx :)

[ShionaProductions]

Yeh it does look it huh ! lol

[ANTALIFE004]

Well done captain Obvious

[woodydog123]

Audio on guy with sledge hammer..."If you want it done right, you gotta do it yoursel...WHOOHHH

[lewiswillingham]

whats strange about the highway 29 one is that somebody was their with a video camera at that time???????

[bedfil]

lol good video.

However we engineer work hard to stop these thing from happening. That why we work harder then any other program. It took you 7 min 25 s to show us our mistakes. Now make another clip for our success.

(We are, We are, we are the Engineers.

We can we can demolish 40 beers

.....)

[DeathlyOrange]

Well it was alright, to be honest, a bit boring in bits. How could you not include a clip of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster in there?!

Btw, Engineering isn't all Chem and Physics, English is also critical to communication.

[imranmoodi]

This video is so over the top man. Like all these mistakes are due to engineers, yeah right. Do all buildings need to be resistent against earthquakes??? Why don't u pay the bill then, it's simply impossible!

The clip about the building that doesn't go down, maybe u should repeat it a few more times, i just saw it 100 times...

Last but not least: Errors can always occur, but it's not always the engineer's mistake, get a degree before making such rash conclusions!

Greetings

[bazzwkd]

Engineering gone wrong not engineers

[microchoc]

what is the song in the background

[MrValentine2008]

love that finale,

guess he never learnt physics or plain common sense,

a roof goes in one direction when its supports are removed,

if you stand below it when the supports are removed,

start praying,

guess thats what he did to walk away from that one,

and a tip, that middle clip was boring man,

but the rest was good,

and yeah those landslides are freaky.

1 more thing, I teach people english dont diss them its not funny why dont you try speaking their language before you laugh. im out.^-^

[popescu7]

Some of these buildings were designed in inch and feet, can you imagine in 2008 in USA they still use english system? It's like having 12 cents in 1 dollar. No wonder about all these accidents.

[astronutties]

I'm sure they are trained to deal with the Imperial system in place of metric...

[DeathlyOrange]

Yes you are correct, they are trained to deal with unit conversions. However, several mistakes have occured due to poor communicating. NASA and some other company were working together at one point to put a probe in orbit around maybe Mars or some planet. However, they were both working in different units (metric - imperial). The probe crashed into the surface of the planet, wasting millions.

[astronutties]

Yes I know about that...it was quite unfortunate. Both sides blamed the other as well for the fault.

All I was saying was that they can easily work with imperial. Just for us use to metric, it seems more complicated then it needs to be.

[cypber]

if u are civil engineer,never dont mistake...

[mattcrash1985]

Dude them landslides are fucking scary

[mtzLEXUS]

Omfg the end.

[hedeen]

dude I hope english your first language, as almost all of these slides have grammar and spelling errors

[hedeen]

I mean jesus, you randomnly capitalize words, even spell CIVIL and BRIDGE wrong

[chriso210]

"dude I hope english your first language, as almost all of these slides have grammar and spelling errors"

Irony at it's best.

[infamist]

"english your firt language"??? hedeen, I hope english is not YOUR first language considering that you can't even type a full correct sentence.

Dumb retard! Go back to school and stay away from youtube for a while. Please.

[ANTALIFE004]

Engineering uses Physics and Chemistry far more frequently than English. So really who cares if you make mistakes in spelling in the end its your application of Physics and Chemistry that counts.

[Furrowbrow]

It does help if you ever hope to actually get a job in engineering ;)

[jes21ce]

I think spelling and grammar are easier than Physics and Chemistry. If you make mistakes in spelling, your brains and intelligence will be questioned.

But who knows!

[Jamie3m0]

i aggrie

...

I'm joking.

But I agree with you.

[Liar999]

wut u sayin?

[mispotach]

@Aqua,

I think this video is not funny. It reminded us more carefully to design or engineer some constructions. For engineer, they should think many aspects such as strengthening the structure itself, safety during contruction and how it could be refrained due to massive forces by external forces such us earthquake loading, activity of people upon it. If they are careless about the design. It be sure the construction will go wrong. It result causalties to the people even dead.

[AquaBeauty101]

hahahaha thats funny

[brubakerj]

What did they end up doing about the driveway? The only solution I could think of would be to lower the garage floor.

[kdaveson]

Might be a bit cheaper to just regrade the driveway...

[mispotach]

thanks

[TheEvilCouncill]

any1 know what the second song is called?

[mispotach]

Hei anybody know who sing this song?

[yardy14]

lol I think they should kept the building slanted like that, it's funky.

[cOOn3y]

Wow that failed demo at 3 mins something is hilarious. Testament to the strength of the original building I guess, I thought it would crack after falling 20 metres.

[cOOn3y]

Wow that failed demo at 3 mins something is hilarious. Testament to the strength of the original building I guess, I thought it would crack after falling 20 metres.

[Masterace89]

who was the idiot that checked the slope on the driveways

[kit9547]

Pretty cool vid. I am a senior civil engineering major so I can get kinda geeked by this stuff. There is a video that they showed us where a bridge was swaying like crazy because the wind was forcing the bridge to vibrate at its natural freq. bad luck but very cool the road looked more like ocean waves. I guess thats why ASCE 7 has all those saftey factors too bad you still cant fix stupid.

[ANTALIFE004]

Is not the bridge vibrating due to flutter rather than resonance?

[Furrowbrow]

Do you mean the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (or 'Galloping gertie' as it was known)?

I think the stupid comment is a bit unkind. A lot of big engineering failures early on were more to do with a lack of knowledge. Before the first failures related to fatigue or constructive oscillation, people simply didn't know that the problem existed. Fatigue has only comparatively recently been understood.

[BTPossum]

Yep. And that bridge has now been the topic of study for countless engineers since.

Bet it doesn't happen again.

[elemento1991]

Whats the song?

[vsuach9090]

I like it. This shows engineering is very important.

[Freedom122112]

disturbing material ?

are you kidding us or youre simply stupid.. lol

[KeganBryanOCarr]

that guy got lucky at the end

[maxsilk1]

What happend to the people who fell through the floor?

[hhh5hbk5dx54]

this was on tv once

and it said that they all survived but they had severe injuries.

theyre all Ok now

[ComradeLynx]

Only In america.

[ivioivey]

alot of these pictures aren't in america.

[ivioivey]

P.S. You're ignorant, ComradeLynx.

[scolen3]

you are a faggot mother fucking bitch.

[ivioivey]

Whatever you say, illogical bitch.

[stickris]

- xSTEVExDB yea I was waiting for that to come up too, I was expecting it to be the last clip.

[sam3d]

Damn, the WTC towers fell down so straight to the bottom almost as if they had been demoloshed by bombs.

""""

[Partspare]

You're forgetting about all the other past cases where buildings have fallen down due to being on fire.

[youtubfool]

lol none fell down after burning for less than 2 hours

[xSTEVExDB]

I Think the Tahoma Bridge need a mention here.

[dveenendaal]

Tacoma

[saltydog45]

Mmmm,always remember the sentence we were told in trade class ( Boilermaker by trade )" A material will go from tensile deformation to yeild point,then plastic deformation to the point of failure" ....In layman terms,it goes from one piece,to fucked!

[BebopVox]

wheres 911 footage? that was well organized controlled implosion

[sunlitstormclouds]

Because including 911 footage would change the whole nature of this video. It was meant to educate about engineering fallibility, not about outright conspiracies against humanity.

[D5A5V5E]

Nice vid. Its sad how much money the engineers get to design these structures only to have them fail for reasons that most people can see.

"TrueLoveQuotient" this is a video about engineering......not a music video. Its not like someone is making you watch it.

[TrueLoveQuotient]

Yes bla bla - U removed the original sound, putting in your geek-ass emo noise instead, making it a half-assed 'wish I were a music video producer' throwaway instead of something that could have been really interesting if U kept the original sound - like someone with a brain would :)

[ByFife76]

Wow, look at the big brain on TrueLoveQuotient!!

[thatloser88]

everybody point at the fascist ! *points*

[TrueLoveQuotient]

Racism & fascism R 2 different things. U hate white people, idiot.

[Bloodmoney921]

KNOCK OUT

[weinmarr]

lucky guy with a hammer

[straighttwoyou]

that last guy had it coming

[ivioivey]

HAHA 02:54, the new leaning tower!

[fudoodled]

Looks like most of the jobs I've worked on as an engineer.I still have n't been found out.

[278371]

Excellent collection of events. Thanks!

[blackboxtv]

The first one looks like what happened to the WTC 1,2 and 7 Hmmmm....

If the WTC was not a controlled demolition I think it would look like the buildings that toppled over instead of steel and conrete completely pulverized into dust.

[snakebandit]

good video, thanks!

[Schmondr]

OK since you say so. I'll go and listen to R.Kelly then.

[Schmondr]

Why did you have to use this stupid song?

[lacollll]

music is good u raping hiphoping and rnbing piece of crap

[DERrockigeSUPPY]

This demonstrates why Engineers don't become well-known by achieving something, but by fucking up on something.

[hk1997die]

seriously, dont always blame engineers. Thesse problems come up more than just purely engineering problem. Sometimes, it's lack of funding but still upper management gives pressure...

[saltydog45]

People always remember the "Fuck up's" and the saying "It's only a fuck-up when it goes out then door" is commonly used in engineering.Scuse the language,its kind a hard to clean the saying up.
