  • i prefer foz do iguaçu in brazil. the biggest in the world

  • This guy sounds like another mush-headed, Commie-inspired Brit. The environment is going to be just fine, with us or without us. Life ALWAYS finds a way.

  • @SunsetSix (50c) heres a "fitty" mail that to someone who would actually give a dam.

  • NCR AND PROUD!

  • someone should blow it up

  • @heeeeeeeyyyyyyyyy Are you insane? What would that achieve apart from mass flooding and property damage? Not to mention the resulting chaos?

  • @TheJonFawcett at least itll help release bacteria thats clogging up in the dam , no wonder the fish are dying downstream. you related to farrah?

  • @heeeeeeeyyyyyyyyy Yeah but are some fish more important that the needs of the human race? I know there must be some kind of balance but the Hoover Dam provides a crazy amount of energy. And no.. haha.

  • @TheJonFawcett yes. cause in some countries, fish are the needs of the people! their are alot of risks that are involved with constructing man made projects - throughout the world - and are affecting the balance of Nature, they have no idea to this day that affecting the balance in a slightest way will have huge consequences for instance the aswan dam, and youll hear alot about the uproar in the Amazon to come. lol :P

  • im thirsty i want some water

  • this is a dam boring vid

  • @JonnyB0YGaming, I've assassinated President Kimball, and ate him with Cannibalism perk for Caesar! Caesar's Legions are cool! In the Hoover Dam War, I don't use guns, I've only used a Machete Gladius to win the Hoover Dam War for the Legions!

  • @JonnyB0YGaming, I've assassinated President Kimball for Caesar! The Legions are the best. I beat the Hoover Dam War with the Legions by using only a Machete Gladius, no guns, no nothing, just only a Machete Gladius!

  • i looks just likke in fallout nv

  • Where is Megatron and the cube ???

  • I just have a question, is this a god damn? heh heh heh

  • I discovered this when I played fallout new vegas >.<

  • Where is the rest of the video?

  • Ave, true to caesar.

  • @xxxXdragonXxxx true to caesat legionary

  • i mean Caesar

  • Hoover Dam. A great place to take pictures of boring stuff. A great place to fight.

  • You guys know that a lot of the places in Fallout: New Vegas are real places, like Hoover Dam, even Goodsprings is real! :D

  • @OblivionZealot THank you now im gonna look up goodsprings too!! XD

  • @TheDarkie12 I think Prim is real too!

  • @OblivionZealot i looked up all those now XD nipton is real also.

  • @TheDarkie12 Aint that a kick in the head! 

  • @OblivionZealot XD Kinda...

  • I've been there last summer. It was great running around the dam... :D

  • That'ssssss a niccccce dam you got there!

  • Very nice dam.

    One question though..

    Will it blend?

  • Is it true that before Hoover dam was built ~it use to be a drop off for crime for guns to be dropped in that part of the water to cover up a murder

  • Now that's a pretty damn good structure

  • A pity the film ends so quickly... started off in a very interesting way!

  • @alanheath i lived in sask canada and went travelling through montana, s dakota, wyoming etc and down to hoover dam....it's quite amazing but i kept thinking doctor zhivago...:)

  • @merseywhogirl Brilliant film Dr Zhivago! However there is something that I do not understand. If Alec is talking to Lara before the war when the dam was under construction the first time then she should be in her late teens but why would Alec speak of the terror as though it had finished. Alternatively if it is in the 1950s after the thaw - which seems more likely - then surely she should be much older and he long since retired.

  • @merseywhogirl I'll have to think about that one Alan....when alec is talking to the (supposed) daughter of lara and zhivago I always assumed they were workers not builders of the dam and i think it would be in the mid 40s....as for continuity of time, I'm a bit lost on that one :) it IS a great film, haven't seen it for years - i think i'll watch it one late night on my own - it's a girl thing -

  • could it be possible for a extremely fit person run up the hoover dam

  • @DUBBST2900 Assuming extreme fitness, anything is possible.

  • Is this a God dam?

  • Is there a part two or something? It doesn't address the subject of the video

  • Bob the Builder and Chuck norris built that in 4 Norris Days (4 Years)

  • why is this tit trying to talk british i hate the wayl americans think we all talk like the bloody queen

  • WE SHALL SEE HOW BRAVE YOU ARE WHEN NAILED TO THE WALLS OF HOOVER DAM

  • fucking legion!

  • I JUST HAVE A QUESTION

    IS THIS A GOD DAM

  • @johnosandra GodDAMMIT That is what I was about to say!

  • don't worry about the environnement, it's all going to be destroyed in the nuclear war, na dthe legion is going to control the dam

  • @dominiclemagnifique you sir are an idiot.

  • Thats pretty dam cool

  • i know this sounds evil but i really would love to see the sight of that thing getting blown up

  • wanted to watch it because of fallout

  • Thumbs up if you found this video because you were genuinely interested in the Hoover Dam, and not from Fall out

  • I dont see any NCR :( 

  • @TheBloodmonkey123

    They were all crucified

  • If you really didn't know of or take interest in Hoover Dam before a game you are a sheltered moron.

  • Comment removed

  • The Allspark is hidden beneath the hoover dam

  • @MTERM775 so that's why the NCR wants it so bad...

  • i built that with bob the builder and hanny manny in 3 days

  • Patrolling the Mojave makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

  • Awesomeness! >:D

  • I went there before.

  • Where's the rest of the video? 

  • i hate ppl asking for thumbs up.. faggots

  • @chinbnm

    I agree. They care more about getting thumbs ups instead of typing a decent comment that actually has to with the video.

  • @chinbnm ikr every time they do i always thumbs down

  • @chinbnm That's a bad word.

  • @chinbnm cocksucker lol

    

  • This is where I kicked the legions ass;)

  • Those who do not know that cross bridging in the middle need to replace an hour back or forward depending on where it really come to an amazing site ..

  • Thumbs up if you found this video because you love the colorado river and the amazing high canyons of arizona

  • I was there 270 years later, fighting for the ncr

  • @darrenc349 How weird, I was there 270 years later too, except I was slaughtering the NCR in the name of Caesar's Legion.

  • @darrenc349 I remember that war! I was patrolling the Mojave when it happen!

  • @darrenc349 I was there protecting the president

  • Did Chuck Norris help build the dam

  • @EBHERNANDEZ7 No! He built it by himself!

  • Fallout - New Vegas

  • Three Gorges > This

  • @Zeronieo - yeah, use Imperial, the measuring system invented in... err, England.

  • any one got a giant wrecking ball?

  • This is where i kicked Caesars Legions ass!

  • wow wow thats very goood goood

  • @horrorsven same here CAESARS LEGION SUCKS NCR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ahah i swam across lake mead in fallout

  • On fallout new vegas it only has 1 generator? apologies if im wrong

  • The Hoover Dam could never be completed in modern times. Could you imagine all the bitching and moning comming from the Al Gore worshipping libtards? They hate it when America does something amazing.

  • dam now that a cool dam lol

  • @Pinguin857 me

  • @Pinguin857 No I'm not an idiot I didn't need a video game to tell me about one of America's greatest engineering achievements

  • @vampov I looked this up just because of New Vegas too. That doesn't mean I'm stupid. I already knew a ton of stuff about it but I just wanted to look it up again because of New Vegas. Same with Las Vegas, I read about it some more because of New Vegas as well. I do agree "thumbs up if you..." comments are extremely annoying though.

  • @vampov wtf have you smoked something really aggro i just was making a comment to thise video cause i play fallout new vegas and i nerver saied you are a idiot but now i think you are one a really big one

  • this is a scene of "Aftermath Population Zero"

  • @lahij someones jelous

  • WTF.....is there a commercial here too? Just let me watch the movie for Gods sake.

  • wow i didnt think this dam would be real cause it was in san andreas, loool

  • @philip075 You didn't know the Hoover damn existed? SERIOUSLY??

  • @salemcripple na hahaha never seen it anywhere esle xD!

  • @philip075 And the rock you've been living under is how big? Sorry i don't mean to sound rude, but it's just odd that someone has never heard of the Hoover dam. I mean it's one of our greatest national monuments, AND one of the greatest engineering accomplishments of mankind.

  • @salemcripple Why are you so suprised ppl might not know? i mean i know many American's dont know it eather...

  • @MeMrJust again I don't mean to sound rude, or "holier than thou", but to me, never hearing of something like the hoover dam (especially when you live in the us). Is a little like never hearing of something like the mississippi river. Or never hearing of something like the sears tower. From my point of view you'd have to be blind (or ill-educated) to not have. But like I said, that's just my point of view. And I in no way mean to put anyone down.

  • Hello! Doesn't anyone find the 50 ft. drop in Lake Meads water level a little alarming? Its not normal to see the bleached limestone rising out of the water. Something is very wrong with the water useage of this lake. We are using more water than mother nature can put back......

  • I am your dam tour guide Harold, please take all the dam pictures you want. Now is there any dam questions? "Where can i get some damn bait?"

  • yeap san andreas (sherman dam)haha!!!!!!! but i hate dams..the dams are sucha monstruosities....OMG!!!Hoover­ Dam is soooo bigger....

  • cool

  • you suck complete the thought of the vid

  • does this place look femililer too any one if you guessed megatron from transformers u r right if u guessed Black Mesa u r right too.

  • Wonderful. Just Awesome...!!!

  • I have been to Hoover Dam! Cool place!

  • p.s it hides megatron and the all spark lol

  • @hellboymankey i see u watched transformers i did too. but also the place in which megatron is in is called Black Mesa research facility.

  • @videoman362 oooooooohhhh thats awsome

  • @videoman362 Nice half life reference!

  • @aintmybabyfour yes im a gamer and i references to my games i always point out.

  • Your adverts are no match for my f5 button

  • i would make it into the worlds largest half pipe lol

  • I've always wondered.. How did they manage to build it when water was flowing through?

  • @Lucruza They put like temperary barriers on half of the area then build it then block off the other part and build it while the part they built before is pouring water from the flood gate.

  • I drove on this!

  • Hoover Damn.We have in romania dams who hade 366 meter of hight.this is for kids ,

  • @Parakiosu2 shut the hell up no one cares about ur romanian dams.

  • shouldnt the clock in Arizona be an hour ahead?

  • @BuzzyFredrick Depends what time of the year it is. Since Arizona time does not change, the clock will be the same from Apr to Oct.

  • I saw a BBC TV-program (funny program) about Las Vegas. In that program they visited the Hoover Dam, and the water level was about 35 meter (scary) lower than before. That mean, that if it will not snow/rain enough, in 8-9 years from now=close Las Vegas. Big problems for Arizona and California. Is that the truth?
