The World's Deadliest Construction Projects 

I worked in machine shops for many years. Any day you came home with two thumbs and eight fingers was a good day.

Amen. ✌️

Gee...the most dangerous job I ever had involved medical records. However, we had to be sure of accuracy, because incorrect medical information could kill someone. My husband was a lab tech, and he could have blown up the hospital if he hadn't known what he was doing. Now he drives a school bus, where he's responsible for the safety of a bunch of other people's children. I agree - for those who work in construction, be safe out there.

@@cynthiasimpson931 Well, I am not making life or death decisions now(used to be in the Army though) but I have a perhaps surprising angle to what you said. I work as a Software Developer and GDPR data removal/safety officer (EU privacy regulation) and one mistake would shut our global operations down worldwide leaving 26.000 people out of work. The fine for one failure to comply with GDPR regulation is so high we would instantly be forced to shut down completely and fire everyone, it sounds perhaps hyperbolic but our profit margin is much smaller than the fine is in terms of global turnover.

My dad was a safety officer on an oil rig back in the 80s and had a guy fall off a Derrick and die. The guy refused to stay clipped to the safety line while up there and he ended up losing his footing which resulted in the fall. Dad said that was the worse death he ever witnessed while on the job. That guy had been written up in the past by my dad for not following safety rules too

Peter the great basically said that exact thing when he was in charge.

@@hasbrosbeforehoes yeah but he didn’t kill nearly as many people as Stalin. Also Peter is an extremely funny character to read about while Stalin was a paranoid asshole.

That was Einstein who said that,

Well done

Industrial revolution was just a tool to spread and solidify communist power.

Chapter. 1 is panama not suez

You forgot the great wall between Mexico and the US ;-))

@@MrAngry3232 No its not.

Comment is over a year old but I still really appreciate it thank you!

Well looked after by the locals. Good museums around town plus the one at Hellfire Pass. My father was there.

The sad part: it ain't an exaggeration 1 bit.

It's kind of funny how people often talk about how rampant capitalistic industrialization in the Victorian era was so rough and soul crushing but Stalin and Lenins socialist/communist industrialization was FAR worse. At least Victorian era child coal workers got a choice and got enough food to live, while stalin's slaves had to resort to cannibalism to get enough calories to finish their pointless prestige project for the communist officials ego

@@arthas640 Very true.

@@arthas640 i always see comments the other way around. People always exclaim in regards how many people died due to Communism but forget that Capitalism and Industrialisation cost many many lives - they tend to forget about the trans Atlantic slave trade!

@@jujutrini8412 Slavery was practiced worldwide until the Brits and Americans ended it, so it has no special connection to capitalism.

5? Don't think so small. 1. Top Tenz 2. Today I Found Out 3. Biographics 4. Geographics 5. Business Blaze 6. Casual Criminalist 7. Megaprojects 8. Sideprojects 9. Highlight History 10. Visual Politik 11. Simon Whistler Show Maybe more?

He is just reading, maybe comes up with topics. Others are writing and editing.

@@dedwardskbd Into the Shadows, xplrd

He's just a narrator and supervisor, he has a writer for each channel.

He has one in queue

Like Pan-America or Pan-Siuberia

That's more of a mega projects thing.

Yeah maybe some people in charge will see it and decide to actually fix these f****** roads.

Please*

LHC= no contest. Money!

This guy is textbook grifter

We've got hedgehogs.... 😊

Lol there’s tons of animals/wildlife m in the US. I live 30 min from NYC in Jersey the most densely populated state and see black bears regularly and deer all the time.

Yeah hiking in the mountains in Glacier National Park Montana, had it's fair share of bears, moose, mountain lions, mountain goats, rams, etc. Only got sketchy after a 15mile hike left my fiance and I in the dark for the last few hours. As if the sheer drop-offs weren't bad enough, i noticed a big cat stalking us about 50ft away on the mountainside. I was very thankful for buying my 9mm S&W right before the trip😄

I live in the VA Appalachian mountains, my neighbor had a black bear give birth in their front lawn...but tbf black bears are a LOT less dangerous than grizzlies or polars.

Wild hogs...

Sean Johnson is right!

@David Johnson is right about Sean Johnson being right!

we can't afford to lose some horses. Send the ________s.

@@EricDKaufman hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

@@EricDKaufman Dang, that was lucky. Doggone near lost a $400 handcar.

The seepage of The blaze...

@@rashakawa Keep calm and seep on?

Seconded

Maybe an epic blaaaazzzzeeeee video???

Maybe not Biographics but TIFO or even Side Projects.

I really want to know about that

edit: according to Wikipedia, We Didn't Start The Fire references 118 different events/people/etc That would be a seriously long video. And I want to see it. Maybe split into parts though. Because if you address every single event and person... Okay, now I need to go see how many topics that would be. But it should still be a thing.

Asheville?

What, no locks?? But surely they have bagels.

@@davidanderson_surrey_bc The Suez Canal is like Venice in a way, with the palm trees blowing in the breeze over the countless café's and 5 star restaurants lining the sparkling waterway and lush banks.

Yeah thought the same thing : sea level canal no locks. greetings from Panama.

I heard that too n was like, “... what???” 🤣

Aren't yous guys very clever

I was about to say the exact same thing... I listened to the same part a couple times make sure my ears weren't screwing the pooch

I can't say I was around for either year so no problems here 😅

@@y2keef well, if the project wasn't started until 1859, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have changed policies relating to that project in 1683..... Edit- unless they were pre-emptively changing policies because Nostradamus told them to.....

A brick for every man, as I heard the story.

I'm on mobile so I can't tag OP, but if you happen to see this, know that riggers are badass and keep people alive.

Your boss dosent wip you to continue working dose he?

@@fernandoqueirozpopovic7024 lol not quite, and I'm decently paid for what we do ;)

@@llamalord111 fair enough then

F

Safety first! Work second

I walked part of that in 2009, the suffering... Sgt USMC

My father never talked about his time there.

@@stuartmcpherson1921 I feel for anyone who had to go through that.

Hold my beer watch this.......

Loaded firearms.

But are afraid of a VACCINE shot, because, well you know, q-anus.

Whereas people who live elsewhere have more sense.

Lucky

Only slightly related to your point (drivers will pay less attention to roadworks they perceive as empty) are there safety reasons besides bad project management for miles and miles of road to be restricted either when no works are going on or works are only taking place in a single small section? There's a project underway on the M4 in the UK that stretches for about 40 miles, and 20 miles of it I can fully understand being permanently coned off because they've destroyed the driving surface to do their works, but at least half of the restrictions have what seems like perfectly driveable roads behind the cones and very, very rarely any workers or construction vehicles inside (I drive for a living so I often pass through the area multiple times a day at all times of day or night depending on my shift and route). I'm not saying it would be a magic bullet, but at least in the UK if people knew roads only get coned off if you're going to potentially kill someone (or at least do big damage to your car by driving it into a hole) by going through them people might take them more seriously on average. I get leaving stuff up overnight/for the weekend cos it's a pain to set up / take down, but this particular project has been months and months with no noticeable changes behind the cones for large sections.

I was barely missed by a car while setting forms for a driveway and I was wearing an orange safety vest

That's a shout. My grandad fought in Burma. lucky he wasn't captured survive the war. Defo More needs to be done to rember that part of the world and what happend we rember ve day but vj day is fading to memory we can't let that happen

That is a great movie based on real like events & some very interesting men.

"When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England." from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Lovely. I'm not the only one who caught it

Beautiful 1600s photograph, don't you think?

1800 not 1600 he said wrong

@@pozzowon Yeah that artist was incredibly skilled.

And the British road system

@@bjarulez we have a system? When did that happen? ;)

@@steelrat5563 Ok, the mess that we call a system

Well our Autobahn here got on most sections nooooo speed limit :)

Crazy to have photos from 1683

@@djm5640 It was the steamships that impressed me.
