@Roborav Japan also has great trains. Our politicians will not spend money on the US infrastructure, instead they bail out bankers and foreign aid which is the same group
We're adding millions of dollars in dept by the minuet because Trump and his palls get out of paying billions in taxes, if they paid the same tax rate as the rest of us, the streets could be paved in gold, well, maybe not gold.
It's a 30 second clip that is exactly what the title says it is: no filler, no buildup to the action, no clickbait... just a dam deciding it didn't give a damn anymore.
Engineer here, this is really fascinating to see. The Hoover dam actually has to have stress relived on it several times a year to prevent this exact thing from happening. Dams are built with incredible resistance but the pressure that builds is unbelievable. I don’t know much about this specific dam but I hope it wasn’t in place keeping water low for near by property or houses.
@@dakota227_4 good question, this is can be done in a few different ways but the most common and effective is using what’s called ‘uplift force’. Uplift force is basically something that is constructed under the dam to basically raise the dam relatively speaking. The point of this is basically so there is less water contact with the dams foundation effectively lessening the volume of water that dams surface area is holding. Other less effective ways but equally important for this process to work include spillways. These are essential just letting water down a predetermined path that is specifically engineered to keep the volume of water the dam is holding at a constant manageable amount relative to the dams official rating for what it can hold. The reasons uplift is necessary rather than just a spillway is for examples such as run off from melting snow where a large volume of water could quickly/unpredictably make its way to the dam at a rate the spillway cannot manage. Even if not entirely necessary uplift is still pretty standard as a security blanket and safety manager. I’m sure we can all imagine the possible danger of dams failing so engineering measures are ALWAYS over the top and the dam is typically rated for much higher strain than it is expected to actually hold.
I didn't like or dislike - but they could have showed more.... I was more interested in the expected fall in water level at the lake's margins, but the video cut-off too soon.
You're misusing the joke. and a camera functioning is expected so "this time" doesnt make sense. And why are you using "he" in reference to a camera the correct word to use is "it." Learn English if you want to use it!
@@wawanlapandua I could be so lucky as to have something to show him... Last minute phone calls and never anything on paper except my own inspections and logs, that's all there is. Then, after 18 months, it's "I need this tomorrow morning. Make it happen." "Parts are 2 weeks out, boss." "I have faith in you. You'll figure it out."
HELLO!!! I want to spend time with celebrities. Just kidding. GAGAGAGAGA! I only want to spend time with my two girlfriends and record RU-vid videos for with the 3 of us. OH YEAH. Don't hate me for living the best life, dear chuck
Come to Kerala; we are monitoring the Mullaperiyar Dam for a potential failure. The dam is expected to collapse within 2 months, and our government is not interested in decommissioning it. You can get good coverage here
@@303ks , I watched one video of a cute kitten and now youtube ignores everything else I used to like... well either that or they demonitized and censored everything I used to watch...
The electrical station: WE HAVE A LOT OF ENERGY (The comment is not correct since the turbines are located in the lower part where the water is filtered and generates energy through its force and impulses)
മുല്ലപ്പെരിയാർ ഡാം ചർച്ചാ വിഷയം ആയപ്പോ ഏതെങ്കിലും മലയാളികൾ dam പൊട്ടുന്ന vdo search ചെയ്തിട്ട് ഉണ്ടാവും അല്ലാതെ ഇത് recommendation വരില്ലല്ലോ... എന്തൊരു കരുതലാണ് ഈ മലയാളികൾക്ക്.... എന്തായാലും നേരിട്ട് experience ചെയ്യും മുമ്പ് ഒരു demo കാണുന്നത് വളരെ നല്ലതാ👌😬
ലോകത്ത് തകർന്നാൽ ഏറ്റവും കൂടുതൽ നാശം ഉണ്ടാകുന്ന 6 ഡാമുകളിൽ ഒന്നാണ് മുല്ലപെരിയാർ... ഹിറോഷിമയിൽ atom bomb വീണതിന്റെ 180 മടങ്ങ് അതികം നാശം സംഭവിക്കും എന്നാണ് വിധക്ധർ പറയുന്നത് 🤧
If it were me, I'd be filming wide panning shots of everything, and then stop filming 5 seconds before this happened like "wellp, I got dam shots, let's go!"
@@theo.g.441 , several hundred feet above the dam there is an alternate route for water to flow. Once the water has lowered, they place a temporary earthen damn to block the water and create an area to work. Look at same aerial photography of Lake Dunlap, Texas and you should be able to imagine it.
I don't know how old the gates are, but the dam is 90 years old. From what I understand, aging steel was the cause. I'd blame a lack of inspection and/or maintenance to the gate, not the design itself.
That's caused by the waves created when the dam collapsed, just like how the water pulls back into the ocean before a tsunami arrives. At the end of the video the water level is almost back to normal at the shoreline.
@@mylord4321 No - the water pressure is the same across the entire dam. Water pressure increases with depth, not width. The side sections may have different internal structures, or simply didn't have the flaw the center section had.
Honestly, they form many more smaller ponds of water. Water still flows downstream esp during floods. Trees are used but grow back. The perfect solution for water conservation.
OMG ... mullaperiyar and then Idukki dams are gonna be scarier than this....🥺🥺 Everyone in comments is saying dam breaking cool...but millions of people of Kerala is getting terrified for their lives
Massive respect for the camera man that stayed there for years waiting for this to happen so he can film it😂🙏 Just for those who say its a camera or whatever this is a joke u can all chill
I disagree. The dam fails at 0:10, the water level only drops below the level of the near spillway at 0:26. You wouldn't see any drop in the level at a far distance. What you see, is the change in the reflections on the water surface due to the disturbance caused by the breaking of the dam.
Yea, you got that right... Just to add, it's all done lapping on the lakeshore for awhile too. Fishin' gon' be messed up...No boating probably.... Taxed on lakefront property ? Hmmmm, mmm on that on cuz taxes gonna need to rebuild.
Lake Dunlap is a reservoir on the Guadalupe River near the town of New Braunfels in Guadalupe County, Texas, United States. The reservoir was formed in 1931 by the construction of a dam to provide hydroelectric power to the area.
