The Citicorp Center crisis shows why engineers must consider unexpected wind loads and challenge assumptions. Rigorous independent reviews and speaking up can be the difference between disaster and saving lives. – Dr. Sera, P.E., PhD>> <<@dozajfull says : Why didn't they rotate the skyscraper by 45° instead of moving the columns to the middle of the edges? This would have allowed the columns to remain at the corners, as usual, while also providing a clear, unobstructed space for the church.>> <<@scientificanalyser878 says : Great power comes with a great responsibility.>> <<@neilalexander8082 says : The shear forces he is describing on skyscrapers operate on the same principle as a lever and fulcrum. The further away from the fulcrum (in this case the ground floor) you apply force, the greater the force exerted on the lever itself, with the amount of force increasing as you head back toward the fulcrum.>> <<@FaceyourGiants1 says : There is a saying in russian “ measure 7 times cut once not vs versa”>> <<@3bonsai5279 says : 21:02 I would have called it. "Obstructing Ostensibly Problematic Situations" or Project OOPS for short.>> <<@Viridian-6 says : Feel like the press going on strike was a little good luck because he actually admitted to his mistake and was fixing it.>> <<@โดราเอมาหือ says : สตง>> <<@yukfaicheung7484 says : Note: Impressive building and material research. Implementation and verification not shown>> <<@CrypticNightHollow says : Named LeMessurier does measuring Kojima level writing :3>> <<@Ember-vw2ms says : Citicorp is the most generic evil company name possible>> <<@ChouaibChouaib-jf1ev says : i like it>> <<@velu_rajaretnam says : I love AI man. Instead of sitting around for 33 odd minutes to find out I can just ask it to summarise the video. Took me a whole of 1 minute to find the answer for the question>> <<@Amber-uh1iy says : Any time any expert in STEM says theres 100% probability, you know something is serious.>> <<@khanthtetaung8699 says : Hears 67 years : Goes to check comments.>> <<@AnhPhươngLê-n4z says : Cháu 7>> <<@micronut6082 says : I'm pretty sure they were talking about this way before that happened>> <<@macacodroide says : 18:50 excuse me, how many years?>> <<@whisperdeath says : That's why I always tell the architects to stick within the boundaries of a classic solution, but they never listen...>> <<@TheUnknown-mg8fv says : They destroyed an old church smh>> <<@toma2667 says : The old gothic church looked better>> <<@Raccoonwithab1unt says : "its was in the thousands" "the building alone held thousands" "it was in the thousands" keeps saying thousands when it adds nothing lol. just say tens of thousands maybe even 100. not hating but it just makes more sense. its not wrong saying thousands but its the shottiest estimate out of how many people would actually be effected>> <<@jacobmeyerson2420 says : He didn't le-measure the effects of quartering winds>> <<@JSTKSK says : Trying to save a quarter million of a dollars, they ended up paying almost an extra 5.>> <<@JSTKSK says : I don't like the idea of people deciding what news I should hear about danger I'm in. Especially if I am working in the building. To be fair, his original design would have been fine if they had originally welded the beams like he designed.>> <<@JSTKSK says : Good thing we replaced a historic gothic church with an ugly cube... I'm not religious, but that's still a cultural shame.>> <<@foundingtitan7 says : Someone tell this to our country's civil engineers and corrupt contractors.>> <<@mohamedaboubakr1758 says : This was almost gonna be a video on Mentour Black Box>> <<@QuaeriumLab says : Imagine living there 😂😂>> <<@Pabzr says : since watching this channel these guys have butchered every last names😅 they pronounce the name as 'leMeasure" when its not wenger which is germanic last name which means the w should sound like a "v">> <<@Jess-bf6xf says : To think thousands of lives were almost sacrificed over the location of a church. On a separate note, why not continue the cross bracing down to the floor in addition to the stilts. Instead of just the stilts alone. & they could have kept at least 3 corners supported. With only the 4th given an alt cross bracing/stilt design. This is also a reminder how important factors of safety are to any design.>> <<@JackB18903 says : The 10 block exclusion zone, they prepared for a domino effect. 1 falls down, on another, and another>> <<@josh116pep says : And they said you couldn't plant explosives in the twin towers without anyone noticing.>> <<@Damdebase says : Ok but if i work in this building and it's a stormy day, i might just work from home>> <<@yourmommashouse says : 6:59 Put the fries in the bad Derek 😂>> <<@yourmommashouse says : Money. Money. Money. The Church didn’t give it up because of the lands value…. In the future. However I would LOVE to hear the reason they didn’t sell. Lmg, the people need somewhere close to come hear the word of god blah blah etc etc>> <<@mikeyangelo31 says : How does anyone not consider quartering winds? I mean I'm not engineer and I didn't even know that term until this video, but before they even started talking about it, I thought "Wonder if it's any different if the wind doesn't hit straight on the side. Wind rarely cooperates." Seems strange to not even consider it. What a strange oversight.>> <<@morganu.canhandle7532 says : man nadir 👏>> <<@g-l8492 says : As an engineer, I find this is a real horror. Doesn't need to be a scyscraper, you hear so many stories of errors even in your company that cost other peoples lives some decades ago... they don't happen that often, very rare, but the stories stick -.->> <<@MK-mk2sp says : The fact that the peer review process did not catch this blows my mind.>> <<@3NILE says : Wow>> <<@sebastianherbst4748 says : ...and then 9/11 happened.>> <<@maximhollandnederlandthene7640 says : Probably the twintowers construction was wrong also. But thats already salved. 🤔>> <<@pretendaccount8578 says : They demolished a beautiful gothic church for that hideous monstrosity. What a crime.>> <<@gjfwang says : "They were able to save a lot of money">> <<@rrtttfthxg2143 says : Would've been cheaper to let it fall and deal with the lawsuits>> <<@BSCbtx says : Veritasium has become a boring documentary channel. Thanks, Private Equity AHoles>> <<@BSCbtx says : Yay religion>>
