"The factory [Vehicle Assembly Building] was built in 1996 to allow for the proper assembly of the Saturn V rocket that was used for NASA's famous Apollo program". Apparently it wasn't famous enough for the scriptwriter to realise that the Apollo program occurred in the 1960s and not the 1990s! Several of these "factories" are actually warehouses.
How can they get so many facts wrong? The ignorance of saying the Vehicle Assembly Building was built in 1996 for the Saturn V rockets is mind-boggling. I had to stop watching at that point.
Take the measurements with a grain of salt. Example: the Chrysler facility is quoted at 330,000 sq meters/205 square miles, and the voice over says the facility sits on 280 acres. Huh? 330,000 sq meters actually equals 0.127 sq miles and 205 sq miles is 131,200 acres
The fact that the video stated three vehicles that plant doesn’t make along with saying the majority of workers are robots makes me question previous videos on this channel.
“Take with a grain of salt” 😂 They are straight up wrong. Says the #1 factory is over 4000 sq. Miles. 😂 the 6.5 million square meter warehouse is 2.5 square miles. 😂😂😂
As a small tacker I walked man landing on the moon for the first time which gave me a life long interest in technology. The NASA VAB has always been a place I’d love to visit along with Boeing and Lockheed Martin Skunk Works.
The first minute of the narrative about the VAB, says it was built in 1996. I think it was built in the early 60s. I've been there, it is an incredible building. It is HUGE
The NASA VAB was built in 1996??? So you are saying NASA’s vehicle assembly building didn’t exist during the Apollo program? Better do some research my friend
You are missing a few decimal points in your calculation of the size of these factories. For example, I live near the Chrysler/Stellantis Assembly Plant at Belvidere, IL. It is widely known the buildings are around 5,600,000 SqFt. That is 0.205 sq miles, not quite a quarter of a sq mile, not 205 square miles. Think about it ... you're saying the plant is 14.3 miles long x 14.3 miles deep. That also just happens to be the distance from Belvidere to Rockford! lol I was an engineer for a Chicago based 3PL and designed and constructed (as acting General Contractor) a 1.2 Million Square Foot high density storage facility (built in 4 phases) along the south side of the former CNW RR switching yard. This was in the early '80's long before the mega-warehouse was a thing. The facility was 40" high and featured temperature and humidity controlled space for perishable grocery and confectionary products as well as Dry Storage (which was the company name btw). The facility featured 252 dock doors and capacity to store up to 150,000 Pallets of merchandise. The building was sold to a REIT, subdivided and is still in use by multiple tennants for warehousing and distribution.
A 750,000 sq foot warehouse is super common now. They are everywhere, most major metros in the US have at least several 1 million sq foot distribution centers or factories. So many of the buildings in this video are hardly the largest in the world.
I like your videos but no fair. Distribution centers are not factories. Factories have machines that make things. Thus my interest in this world's largest factories. Distributions centers are just 4 walls and a roof with shelves. I'd be interested seeing the 15 largest distribution centers in the world. Also where each factory or distribution center is located and not just the country.
no, no it's not. it's easily confused, has the attention span of a gnat, and slowly over timer, is turning to mush and no longer able to tell fact from fiction. this episode has no less than 15 huge glaring errors, did your attention pick those up? but thank you for pinpointing just how gullible humans are. as for who created the "human attention," really? you're serious? omfg, godzilla, thank japan and godzilla, duh, everyone knows that!
1996 for saturn 5 ? Bit late I would say, expect it was built in the 60s. Aerium was build in 2000 on an old airfield, not in the 40s . This channel does not do research right
Your unit conversions are mostly silly - 1,000,000 m^2 = 1 km^2, which is only 0.36 mi^2, and since no facility exceeds 1,000,000 m^2 until #2, telling us that buildings are 100's and 1000's of square miles in size should be intuitively nonsense.
Pretty loose definition of "factory" and who the heck fact checks your data? Saturn program in the 90's and 63,000 square meters = 39 square miles? Sheesh
After watching several RU-vid tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses until Mr Jay started managing my investment now I make $10,567 weekly.
2:08 63,000 sq metres is not 39 sq miles, but is in fact about 0.024 of a sq mile and 0.063 of a sq kilometre. 7:38. 120,000 sq metres is not 75 sq miles. It is in fact about 0.046 of a square mile. ......... 9:39 330,000 sq metres is not 205 sq miles (which would make it more than 3 times bigger than Washington DC !) but is in fact about 0.127 of a sq mile. And so on. In fact your figures get quite ludicrous if you think that the Hyundai factory is 3,138 sq miles !! That is about the size of Puerto Rico. I am trying to figure out where you went wrong in your calculations ...
All these calculations are not genuine. Come to Nigeria. I will show Dangote refinery, Dangote cement factory cement factory is bigger than all of the above-mentioned factories
How the [bleep] can you get the math wrong so often? Not only are the conversions all screwed up, but even when you talk about math 4:48, you manage to screw that up, too. 800 bottles of wine every minute works out to 1,152,000 bottles of wine a day - not 6 million. Fire the person doing the math.
hmmm, a distribution center is NOT a factory, it's a building or complex of buildings that receive, store, then redistribute or ship those items to a vast network of businesses, or homes. sure, maybe one of them can be a big building, perhaps even the biggest in a country, but nope, not a factory. looking above, yep, says factories not buildings, not warehouses, not businesses but factories, top 16 largest factories. clearly the title of the show isn't what it says, sort of like your channel, top fives, but you do top fifteens, so there's that. heck, even the description says it, but doesn't elude to how a big storage building gets reimagined into a factory. i know you're "bringing new people onto the top fifteens everyday to bring us new and exciting content" every day, but i might suggest not doing that, cuz they're stupid. maybe cut the staff and go back to just the top fives.
