Nothing says Brooklyn bridge quite like a nice case of the bends.

Well done, Brother! Great presentation! I love documentaries! Keep up the good work!

@UpcycleElectronics 5 лет назад

Very well done sir! That voice-over was brilliant. The only point that really stands out to me, and wasn't mentioned is that the bridge predates the consumer use of the car. The year of completion 1883, is just in time for the massive bicycle revolution of the 1890's through 1910's which had a massive presence in New York. There was a World renowned velodrome in Madison Square Garden. If the bridge took "14 years to complete," it was started in 1869. The civil war ended in 1865, just to further the perspective timeline. Thanks for the interesting upload. -Jake

Thank you very much for the compliment and the esoteric knowledge of New York history. I enjoyed both!

Wow, thanks for the education! I truly wish I could go back and watch these times...

And it was finished by a woman since the designer died from Tetanus, his son got the bends real bad so the wife ran the operation

This bridge started from 1869 right up until its completion in 1883. That was a total of 14 years to build. It’s a combo of both suspension and cable stayed bridge in one. 1869 was where the bridge was about to build just four years after the civil war, and it was during the Old West where cowboys, Indians and horses lived there.

@phonotical 5 лет назад

They now put microphones on the cables to listen to internal snapping, once they've heard enough they replace the cable, worrying!

@BlueprintScience 5 лет назад

I did not know that. Very interesting! Thank you

Before moving to Hill Valley in 1885, school teacher Clara Clayton was heard to remark, "Children, the construction of this bridge is a metaphor for the rest of your lives. The decisions you make now will determine whether you're the guy holding the slide-rule or you're the guy mucking shit out of the caissons."

damn building those foundations must have been terrifying. Imagine whole thing was build pretty much by manpower without fancy equiplment for 13 years. Those guys kicked ass.

It could've been much much clear & easier if you had added the marker animation of the things you were referring to.

No mention of Emily Roebling, who took over for her husband when he became disabled from compression disease fairly early on in the project.

@lawrencetate145 Год назад

I wonder how much further the caisson excavation had to go before bedrock was reached? In hindsight, the decision to stop before bedrock was reached was sound.

@chance1986 5 лет назад

OK, it's not Ken Burns. On the other hand, I didn't have to sit through PBS fundraisers. I enjoyed the recount of the report about visiting the caisson interior. I've always found that aspect of the construction most interesting.

@dickfitswell3437 4 года назад

Same here. Pretty crazy to be digging that far down in those circumstances and eventually knowing that everyone os getting pretty sick. All for a 6 cents an hour too.

@danielginther4879 5 лет назад

Cables are not steel, they're structurally deficient iron,as the supplier cheated the Roeblings. Read; The Bridge by David Mcullough.

@BlueprintScience 5 лет назад

I actually was aware. The same cable was submitted for testing over and over while the real cables were garbage. I left it out because that wasn't exactly a "design decision" for the bridge's engineering - so I left that detail out.

@phonotical 5 лет назад

Is that Billy Murray I hear...

@johnallen7854 4 года назад

At one minute and 51 seconds, it is stated that the bridge was built in 1969. That should be corrected to 1869.

@BlueprintScience 4 года назад

Yep. I know 😢 Our narrator and editor are still in the timeout corner over that one

@Musicradio77Network 3 года назад

It was 1869, not 1969. 1969 was the 100th anniversary of building the Brooklyn Bridge.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

@Musicradio77Network 3 года назад

You got the year wrong. 1869 was the bridge where it got it began construction on the bridge. 1969 was the year the Brooklyn Bridge became a band with lead singer Johnny Maestro of the Crests, and one of their signature songs was “The Worst That Could Happen”.

@dickfitswell3437 4 года назад

Great video man. Came to learn about Cassions(however you spell it) and learned a bit more. So good on ya! As for the Bridge itself. Beautiful Bridge. Just sucks it is in such a shit city, NY City is crap and full of crap media and obtuse, irrelevant celebrities Also the father died from Tetanus during the initial start. The son took over but was sick so either his wife or his mother was mainly the person in charge
