Moving An Entire Town Before It Collapses | Huge Moves | Spark 

Its admirable how the ppl have love & respect for their lighthouse that has been primary to the safety of its village.

Love the Hymn at the end! Awesome, seeing a lighthouse move! Even more impressive seeing an entire town being moved! Great documentary!

It makes me so proud, what a group of intelligent and motivated individuals can do! It's simply amazing!

This is absolutely amazing engineering and completely fascinating as well. Fantastic to witness. The first time i ever heard of something like this was in Old Exeter in Devon, ( in England ), where they have an Elizabethan building that was repositioned from the bottom of a hill to the top and its called "THE HOUSE THAT MOVED", it was moved in 1961.

Awesome moving lighthouse. Have always loved lighthouses. They have such character.

I dont see why they needed the crane. A few good sized boys should have been enough depending on how far it was being moved. Its very bulky but not all that heavy. Why do you think its called a light house?

We amaze oursrlves with this. The Egyptian people must've seen amazing marvels.

I think this program used to be called Mighty Moves. The graphics are the same. I watched it on SBS here in Australia & have missed it. Glad to have found it again.

Is it just me... or do some of those houses look more in danger of falling off the cliff than the lighthouse

The cruelty to Whales being revenged, Karma for the abyssmal treatment of these beautiful mammals.

These men are doing the impossible! It’s a beautiful thing and such an amazing video…

I love it how the kids were invited to participate in the ideas of moving the lighthouse. Some are clever, some are funny but all had a share in it.

36:54 thats a pro at work. this man is "in charge" but yet hasn't done crap

The tower in Dorset UK is at Kimmeridge which is also the site of one of the oldest oil wells in the UK.

Amazing to move a town shame they lost their original address. Imagine each group of houses from each st had been kept together and remained the same. It would be so quirky to have one rd with multiple streets on it and the corresponding numbers. It's not like it's a major city or that the locals would get lost

For the mining town, I get people would lose the "1st" floor of their house, but wouldn't it have made more sense to just move the upper floor of the home and put it on a new basement with the same floorplan if they wanted it the same? Especially after finding out the basements are part of the bedrock and the floors and walls aren't attached to each other, it seems like more work than necessary. Really, those are all 1 story houses, built on exposed basements with walkout garage and entrance.

If that were a Robert Stevenson lighthouse built from interlocking stone a few degrees tilt would mean nothing. No doubt built on a dry cliff bricks and mortar are good enough. Nice looking lighthouse.

We have a lighthouse in eastbourne on beachyhead called belle tout and it’s been moved back, but unfortunately it’s in need of being moved again as beachyhead is crumbling away quite quickly now

🤣 this is hilariously fascinating and completely insane at the same time - the lighthouse move was impressive, but looked easy compared to taking a little drive with the enormous house down the high street and just “hoping” it would squeeze through … ah humans, what will we think of doing next?! 😝🤪

Will they put in a retaining wall to further protect the light house?

Does anyone know how many of the houses got moved in this orginial stage?

Thank you for sharing this, very interesting…….as always 👍

My deep n great respect to ALL the teams doing this amazing work, the Lighthouse for me was the greatest as I was shivering almost wishing everything goes well till the end, I know absolutely Nothing zero about our amazing work guys,but as the lighthouse was oving I was wondering whyit didn't have a steal sheathing on the outside n the inside since the shape is cylindrical the outside with edges with bolts n the inside also with bolts the inside pushing out n the outside squeezing that might have kept this lovey lighthouse a little safer when it was moving? sorry guys is probably a totally stupid Idea but I didn't want anything to go wrong with tht lovely old lighthouse, all in all a trully Great job guys

The alternative is to remove the energy from the sea waves that will hit the base of the cliff by establishing long weed on the seabed and bobbing generating ducks at the surface. This will improve fish environment and generate energy.

really thanks for valuable information . I was learn more from this video . human can do anythings if they're unity can achieve any thing

That was absolutely brilliant 👏✅👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 yippee ‼️‼️‼️

Did anyone notice the rego on the big house moving lorry spelt out Jeff Boi slang for Jeff Boy (JEF 8OI) propper Essex Boy talk..lol Love the engineering behind all the content in the videos though - held me captivated for a while, thank you - Ian, North Essex .. UK

I hope they checked they're not putting Mrs Peterson's house on more iron ore.

Great job

I live on Nantucket!

Bob Felch correctly called it a bluff.

nice vid

Call me silly but if they engineered half a dozen or so floor plans to choose from and built them with "Structural Insulated Panels" (SIP's) which means they could be prefabricated at a warehouse in the new town and they would weigh a fraction of the current houses with insulation 'R" values probably 3-4 times greater than they have now for less than the moving The current homes and all the associate's hassles, and nightmare problems. The cinder blocks and cement driveways could be reprocessed for foundation, road and driveway materials and the town would have all new structures with modern standards of energy efficiency

Could you please explain why light not get out from black hole even it doesn't have any mass. And also about equivalence principle of Albert Einstein

You gotta love RICH people, huh? They're just so cute. They raised 4 million dollars to save their beloved lighthouse. They have their priorities straight. "So, here here"!

Here in Australia they cut the houses in half to move them

cool!

Cheaper to build a new one,but reuse the light structure and steps?

Dont think the light house is the main concern check how close the houses are to the edge 😵🤣

Strange that the song at the end is in English, for a Swedish town?

Love

I would never trust my lighthouse moving project to a man who pronounces "height" as "heighth". He's better as a lighthouse painter than a mover. DU-oh!!!! WTF???

Awsome,

the guy at 21:32 : whos a good boy

Better move those houses near the cliff

Cool

hey

pride is mans greatest of list of greats earth wind fire thank you all for being here to see the majesty of the human spirit, the pyramids still get all the credit 80% brain 20% baron three second rule, peace love honor

I understand moving an historic lighthouse, but how does it make financial sense to move dozens of generic looking houses rather than building new ones?

this make me remember about gorilaz video clip

Men: We can move an entire town Women: We can move mens butt up and down 😂

Only moving it 100 yards, get on with it, we haven’t got all day you know.

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

She still see use today?

💙

Hmm dangerously close to falling but HEY lets let kids near it for a hug AMERICA insane people. I.e WHY move there DOH

Eeeeeeeeeeee

Maybe the idiot's will leave the whales alone.. They could have built a new lighthouse for half the price.. Man some folks are not to bright..lol

STOP THE SINGING 🤮
