Hoover Dam Collapse from San Andreas 

Some people freeze in moments of huge fear or crisis. From outside perspective it looks daft but they can't help it and need a wake up call putting both people at risk if they can't snap themselves out of it

Where's her parents?

@@iverkjellkken6569 It's easy to loose your parents in a commotion like that. She was probably a little ahead sight seeing and before you know is everyone is running around in a panic. Kids get lost when shopping, in a natural disaster event like that theres always gonna be kids and even adults like that who get seperated

Where? Edit: never mind

She has an excuse. She is scared

Your DAM parents

LMAO

it's always a girl!

Shit man!

it was the kids parents fault. you can never get away from parents who think their kids are throwaways. i have seen too many movies where that happens.

this movie was filmed a decade ago

It was that high when the movie was shot

@@misguidedangel6550 lol it hasnt been that high since the 90s

Mom wasn’t very grateful was she?!

Ha

What really amazing is they all listen and do it.

Plus the " TIM HURRY!!!!!" like he was already running as FAST as he possibly could!

To be fair, there are people out there that just completely shut down when confronted with overwhelming situations. But yeah, in this scene all the people he is yelling at are already running haha

@@CugerBrant every damn time

adds drama

And at the end, once the kid's safe the crying parent comes & collects the child. Ffs where were you all along?!

@@GokulOnFire 3 years ago sooo…. Hmmmm… not sure probably dead

I remember watching this scene and thinking “oh good, he grabbed the kid in danger, that means he’ll live!” and then he tripped and threw her into his colleague’s arms. 😒 “well poop”

But could it collapse if the water went away? It's an arch dam after all.

@@patrickj1066 Of course it wouldn't collapse. It was made without water up against it. And it only got stronger over the decades as the concrete cured.

According to the government and the 9/11 commission, a little burning jet fuel and debris could make it collapse. just look at what it did to WTC tower 7.

@@waltersvg You're comparing apples and oranges. We weren't talking about an attack. Even so,, Hoover Dam has no exposed steel and concrete doesn't burn.

@@rogerbabson7221 You stated the same is true for concrete and steel buildings. Tower 7 wasn't attacked - it was hit by falling and burning debris.

Look it's a strong structure but that's just a load of arrogance.

Hmm…You know Giza‘s pyramid is already around for c 4600 years. Unlike Hoover Dam the pyramid is not constantly exposed to enourmous water pressure. And unlike Hoover Dam the pyramid is not relatively close to a tectonic boundary of continental plates, aka San Andreas fault. So while hopefully we we will never know, there is a good chance that you are wrong.

⁠@@TheOneMonk the Hoover damn is built more like a mountain it’s more wide then it is long and absolutely indestructible and it is true the Hoover damn will most likely be one of the longest lasting human creations the water doesn’t really mean anything I don’t think you know what you mean by water pressure. The Hoover damn was built to survive earthquakes up to 8.0 and more realistically it could handle a 9.0 the only Tectonic plate in the US that could generate that power is the Wan-De-Fuca plate off the coast of the Pacific Northwest And another thing is the Pyramids are ALOT closer to a tectonic plate boundary (the one right off the coast of the Red Sea) then the Hoover damn the pyramids of Egypt went through a 6.5 earthquake in the 1300s and were completely fine Egypt isn’t as large as you think.

It is built from man's hand. That means it will collapse over time. The only question is "when" but not "if".

TMoney521900 the child is obviously scared. Think of the situation. When you afraid, your often in shock, or stuck in place. And when you don’t have someone you trust or that can help, your stay.

Duo Damsel you might do that but when I’m scary it shock I run and punch 🤛....

Iafiv Iv, well they need to find a different way to end the scene, cause I'm sick and tired of seeing it in almost every feckin action or catastrophe movie!

Yes because the survival instincts over million years of evolution told us to cower in fear like that, ever heard of the flight or fight response. Also this could have been such an easy fix for the script writers to show how heroic the character is in a way that doesn't feel so contrived. I would have suspended my disbelief if the person the red coat was saving was disabled, had a broken leg hell they could have showed us that she was to slow and the red coat could have picked her up while they were both running.

TMoney521900 survival of the fittest says the child would die

If you actually went to hoover dam, thats where the strong good supports are at.

xD, Good doing indeed.

Yo Mama it's a movie

GET BEHIND THE BARRIERS GOD DAMMIT

The barriers are put into place to take advantage of the hydrodynamic law path of least resistance. In case of a catastrophic failure, the middle of the damn is destroyed releasing the water pressure and allowing the sides to stay up. Chances of survival are greatly increased when people are able to escape to the sides as opposed to the whole thing being destroyed. It has nothing to do with where the earthquake hit but how it was constructed.

Tell me about it.. I used to work there, lol.. The exterior shots are VERY accurate CGI. They even captured the employee parking lots and several of the support buildings.. Now they filmed this before I worked there, but the Public Affairs officer told me that Bay used 'guerilla tactics' to film and scan Hoover as they didn't want to obtain the permits/reserve the dam for the little amount they needed.. They sent up a drone and did their scan, then dipped lol. It's not like when he did the first Transformers movie.. He did Hoover the right way.. and no there's no museum with old ass weapons in it, lol.. But, often when leaving for the day, tourists would ask what I did there and I'd respond with 'Megatron Maintenance Crew Charlie'..

Ikr that scene in Penn Station from Armageddon freaks me out, I'm like I stood there before!

i love love love, my special trip to hover! it was awesome!!! i paid one of the guides (some money) that brought me in after hours and WOW WOW WOW!!!! they had a turbine down for maintenance and i got to go into the shell area where the gates were holding back the enormous pressure and yes, THEY WERE LEAKING - LIKE SIEVES lol - but beautiful!

Where is CJ ?

you're supposed to turn your brain off watching this stupid stuff....especially the past decade or so of this hollywood drivel

dear you dont use physics brain when you watch a Hollywood or any movie, specially the mass destruction and hacking related ones

@@cypher1133 Oh, right, because Hollywood totally doesn't want us growing up daft and such. I get it.

NNNEEEEERRDDD

So true

Right said. Dumb girl spotted in movie

It's called shock and panic.

After someone tells her to run off

She was scared...

I'm fast as fuck BOII

XD

Narukeuzchiha good for you “BOII”

Lol and he’s a fat too

death motivated him

copy paste

David. These jokes are so old and boring

And i am the camera man

Booooo

i glad your internet survived

Bad parenting examples

No thanks

I thought she was a joke.

he asked her to close her eyes so she wouldn't be able to witness his horrible death

Jeff Stein pokemon go didn't exist when this was made...

Jeff Stein or did it

omg bruh im crying

No, this movie came out in 2015 and Pokemon Go came out the year after.

Didrick Namtvedt what is the movie name?

Girls shouldn't be there, they should be shopping for Christmas women's apparel at Banana Republic...👗👜👚👢👡👠👒

+Kevin Warthunder Shut up weeb.

Kevin Warthunder Virgin? Lol.

There's virgins on the Dam dam

BECAUSE WOMEN ARE WEAK *grabs popcorn*

😔

How about the my little pony movie?? No one dies.

my birb memes are awesome King Storm dies

I'd rather die than live with a hole in my foot. That brave guy took the right decission, and so becomes a real man!

You dude, I was being sarcastic...

A lot of dumb things happen in movies

+motografo Lol I read that as "I'd rather die than live with a foot in my hole" xD

good child, m.A.A.d urban area you know how much it would hurt to pull thy out plus not only would you bleed out but pulling that thing out would be super hard in real life plus your ass would be on the ground crying your eyes out in pain

Yeah they designed that thing to stand through a lot

How does it make sense to you, the dam is built on the mountain so if the mountain collapse, what can hold the dam?

@@mako4203 . You’re not meant to think that far or it spoils the Elmer Thud joke. The dam would likely fall like a sandwich board in a gust but the question is would it go first or second?

@@anomamos9095 that's the question xD

hoover dam is actually key-wayed into the mountain on both sides in addition it is at least a quarter circle shape towards the water so the more the water pushes on the damn the more it is wedged into the mountains.

She can always make another one... At least in theory

@@R-T_BK79 Actually, she should just sterilize herself to end her miserable DNA just there.

Ayiseri. 😂😂😂😂😂

@@AliAli-im6xy pinnalla 😂 😂

what a shitty mom for running if without her kid

If only the mother had been as concern for her child as the guy was of his equipment!

mom sue the guy for kidnapping attempt.

You really are that thick aren't you

The Action Brick hell yeah wtf

😭 mee

StayCalm Starz so what is your comment..

Maybe you don't know it is a part of a movie not real

Damn it's a movie....why be sad.

Correction: 99% of comments: People mad at either the mom or girl 1% of comments: Someone saying the dude in the green is sonic

I'm ded

Seriously under-rated comment

To show you the power of Flex Tape, I sawed this dam in half!

Flex tape

I fucking knew you were going to say Flextape.

Not old enough to make sound decisions and likely in shock.

My point exactly

Some kids will automatically try to hide or huddle away where they feel safe. Watch some vids of children reacting to a fake fire or safety situation. Some parents think they’ve taught their kids to “do the right thing” in a dangerous situation, but when it actually happens, kids sometimes follow their instincts to hide instead of getting out of danger.

and it shows our greater humanity to rescue the helpless. beasts save themselves. tribes look out for each other. it's also why we're still here and the sabertooth s aren't.

and that kid will grow up with a need to serve, a passion for it. and enough survivors guilt to float a yacht.

Mohsin Majeed correct

Dairy?

People need their milk (We know you meant diary)

filipinordabest DIARY

Mohsin Majeed In real life situations too my dear

true, so does her shit mother

OH SHIT EARTHQUAKE, FUCK THE KID RUN

so did her mum.

I was about to say the same thing.

agreed

True

Alex is a great granddaughter! Granddaughter Savannah and I made biscuits today. Life is good.

Wallaby the and

The Noobiest Gamer whoa

The poles were like: "That's it Mr. Earthquakie, this far and no further. I am gonna have to ask you to move back, Sir, if u fail to comply I will have to call the manager"

Comedy gold

It's supposed to represent the mark where you won't fall if the damn collapses, it's basically the end of the damn. It's put there so that people know when they're safe.

It's a fucking kid if you wanna talk "nature": nature intends for adults to save them lmao

I was thinking the same thing, I would have probably left her thinking this unless I was the parent or I would have kicked her in the ass so that she runs to her mommy

What if i said the same if it was your kids or you, have you.ever even been in a dangerous situation in real life, ok i know this is just about a movie but if in real life something like this or any disaster happened would you like people to think the same about you or your kids. Because when a person panics more then likely they freeze up block themselves and don't think can't think even if they wanted to really bad.

@John Peric i was talking to Astro but neither would I

Yeah 😂

Samurai Dsy ha

Samurai Dsy But dad, your story was about how you met mum, but most of it was about that kid!

So basically our "mother" gave birth to 4 million children? Wow.....

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Wow

This just made my day xD

It's only a movie 🍿🎥

Good to know tho.

It is hundreds of miles from the San Andreas, loo.

Shut up

_egas calybird yeah your right

People who edit comment later to thank for like need to die

The San Andreas fault is near the Hoover Dam.

This movie is so inaccurate anyways haha it literally has a tsunami in it that shouldn’t exist 😂

Apparently it has been hit with a 7.1 before, with little to no damage, although I don't know far away the epicenter was. That said, it is still not completely cured and won't be until the 2050s. Thats how much concrete they poured when they built it in the 30s. Crazy.

Ik this is late but it can hold up to 8.2

+Barbas the Daedra ikr

he's not aisian

I agree shit parents not carding about there Child if they helps there daughter Jim the man in the red coat would not die so I wood stab my parents with a knife if they left me there

+Barbas the Daedra That's racist.

+Gavin Rox yet accurate

Mark Kingston btw i Just realised that earthquake was like 5 sec, then it dissapeared and noone give shit about it

Why should they get wet? the road surface on the dam is well over 100 feet above the water level.

I love this actor.

Dear First !! But Green Tea please learn you're grammar thanks for reading my comment so I'll leave you alone.

@@northvanguy621 lol!

I totally agree 💯👍

There are no towns downstream of Hoover dam for about 70 miles. Laughlin is the closest town and it is at the base of the next dam on the river just below Mojave Lake.

@@dclark142002 realistically that wall of water would move at hundreds of miles per hour so it would reach that pretty fast

Totally unethical a stranger can grab a little girl like that. Move creators should know better.

Its a wood a small dam

a _very_ long time

Sebastian Jarquin about 33.65 minutes

too long and now their pissed lol

Sebastian Jarquin a dam load of time

Called dramatic tension.

That's the joke... :/

Its just a movie bruh

Hahahahahha

when I so the movie it almost made me cry and also it made me sad because the old man and the old lady there where hugging because the tsunami was coming 👫😢😖😞

Guitarfollower22 It's not the kids fault as when kids are in danger they usually hide as a natural instinct, blame the mom as she should've been there for her child.

Right? When I was her age, I'd take off running if I seen another person running. My number one rule is "If you run, I'm running". Sure it can be a little awakward having people staring at you while you run down hospital hallways and such, but it could save your life. So worth it.
