"GET ON WITH IT!,. per Monty Python. The 1st 4 minutes of this vid, made me wanna sail across the pond , to slap the chit out of you.🙂

Yeah..... a "Pilot" was onboard the Dali when it took down the Key Bridge too. You should check into the ship owner and the incentive to build bigger ports for larger ships. Much love from Charm City - where nothing happens by accident.

I meet The driver of The truck that stopped. Anordning to him The road was pretty much invisible in The dark night, even With full Breams on. What made him stop was that he NO longer could se The railing. It wasnt untill he jumped out and walked to The edge that he relized The bridge was out. Also The bridge wasnt really that old when it colapsed

I love that you use the word balls whenever someone's done something wrong😅

Are you planning on selling sticker packs again? I was just going to purchase one recently and noticed they aren't available anymore 😕 are any left??

Oooh, it has to suck when the humans involved didn't do anything especially wrong. I have dreams where the brakes on my car fail, I can only imagine if I was piloting a massive cargo carrier instead. In a narrow s-bend channel like that, the bridge design was a pretty awful choice.

"Today we will be talking about a ship running into a bridge. No not that one. No, not that other one either!"

They should have named the ship the Bridge Clipper.

"Maritime-induced unintended deconstruction"

Mybplainly difficult civil engineer dad was in college in 1960, but still would not have approved this bridge 😂. He had no faith in humans and would have expected this crash. His genetic report was half Swedish and the rest English so maybe his pesimisstic outlook was genetic as well?

I was wondering about the light... and for good reason -- sometimes it's light all the time in sweden. (Part of the 'land of the midnight sun') this is a sad story, and I feel like the swiss cheese model applies. Mistakes were made that made other mistakes more likely, that wound up in catastrophe. Nobody really saw it coming -- my bet is the guy had done the run a bunch of times before (even at night), and was confident in his abilities, but didn't realize his abilities were irrelevant because of the ice in the rudder that nobody knew about. I think it's actually the bridge and the designers that made it that are most at fault here. This was an accident waiting to happen, and just like the recent one in Baltimore, losing the ability to steer was what killed the bridge. This is sad and I don't think anyone other than them could have prevented this from happening at some point.

first 4 minutes is an ad

there is police radio traffic that says police had the bridge shut down prior to the bridge hitting and the only vehicles on the bridge was construction

1980 was a bad year for Bridges versus ships

Seeing the photo of the bridge with a ship passing under, my immediate reaction was that they should have built a suspension bridge to give greater clearance. How any engineer could have thought that an arch bridge in such a tight channel was a good ilea is just incomprehensible.

Here, have another sub.

some people in the navy were doing HARD drugs in 1990. the bizarre narrative they tried to substantiate and their inhumane methodology. it is kinda strange to name someone who you have a strictly platonic relationship with as beneficiary of a high payout life insurance policy but trying to build a terrorist plot off of it is crazy. especially when that fact is all you have. the NIS was obscenely naive to think they could cobble together such a slapdash story to cover the asses of the naval brass and have the public believe it. every other disaster of this magnitude where the military was potentially liable, was examined multiple times with an excruciatingly thorough and critical eye by official inquiries and private investigations. the NIS story wouldve always been subverted. The NIS mustve found leftover stockpiles of dexedrine from vietnam and started hitting it hard.

Lemme guess, “omvänd” is Swedish for “b****”. Here’s another USA viewer who thought this would be set in Baltimore. I have a cousin who lives in a Baltimore suburb.

6:15 - Just to help you a little, the ’gju’ sound is pronounced more like ‘zyou’ and then the rest - te-ri-et. Therefore the whole phrase is ‘Skan-ska Ce-ment-zyou-te-ri-et (Scania Cement Foundry) I’m not Swedish but have a love of languages and sounds

I remember it happening, seeing it on the TV news. It was ghastly. IMHO, the bridge was a disaster waiting to happen. The way it was built, it was only a matter of time before such an accident would occur. The blame should be on the constructors.

So what's that now about 10 bridges suffering from maritime deconstruction?

Superb video John

Lol I thought you were doing the Baltimore Maryland USA ship that just knocked down a bridge

I do hope you make something for your work. I enjoy it.

This particular disaster piqued my interest because my nephew is ready to be trained as a pilot in Galveston/Houston. He’s worked on pilot boats for several years now and I believe he’s currently a first or second mate. I truly fail to understand why anyone would ever pilot a ship in declining visibility conditions in the middle of the night! Was profit margin so important that waiting a few hours for daylight was going to make or break the transport company or the companies having their goods transported? Because if that was the case, they immediately went bankrupt when the ship was destroyed and the surviving cargo couldn’t be delivered. Which obviously didn’t happen. All they did was kill 8 people and cause suffering for their surviving family members and friends.

Been watching the Bali deconstruction since it started. Really good and fast work they do

Me and death, love your disaster bingo card! Please keep this feature. 😃💀

If I had a nickel for every time I was aware of a cargo ship crashing into a bridge, I'd have three nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened 3 times.

You’ve got yourself a new subscriber here! Great video!

Let's get this Brit his million subscribers!🎉

They built a bridge that could be hit and took no physical precautions to prevent it. Seems I've seen this before.

Well, this feels eerily familiar.

Do Sandöbron next, the worst bridge dissater in sweden that saddly few know about.

9:35 - I recommend that you either use checked sources or leave out translated terms altogether. The term _omvänd_ means "reverse", "turned", "inverted" or "converted," suggesting that they should make a 180° turn or flip the boat on its axis. The term you looking for is _bakåt_ ("backwards") or _backa_ ("back up, reverse").

Hi John ~ This is kinda like a pre-production glimpse, of the episode you're going to do about the fairly recent Key Bridge accident in Baltimore.

If you wonder how to pronounce the letter Ö, look at the Coughing Cat meme. :P

I’m not a big fan of heights & a much lessor fan of high bridges. I avoid high bridges whenever possible; there’s one nearby I reasonably tolerate & a second nearby I avoid like the plague. If I’m forced to travel over one, I hold my breath & try to think pleasant thoughts until off of it.

Greetings from Uddevalla! As others have mentioned this was a huge accident here at the time. To add, Uddevalla had one of the biggest ports and dockyards in Sweden at the time, and much of the Swedish merchant marine were holed up in the area outside Tjörn and Orust during WW2. The dockyard went out of business in the 80s.

I have just subscribed today. ☺ In cases like this, I would have liked to have seen what the replacement bridge looked like, if different, and how long it took to rebuild. Thanks! 🙂

If only I could subscribe again

as a Swede, i didnt know about this! thank you for the interesting video! and got a good laught out of the "oh blimey" before having to pronounce the Swedish company name!

Used to work in garment manufacturing back in the 90s, where China was a country with no laws no protection technology no nothing. Kinda relieved that I didn’t get to see this video, or I’d have been working and living in morbid fear every day for 3 years! Living Hell! Ignorance is a bless!

Full forward speed is that anything like "ramming speed" boom boom boom boom???

Lol fart I adore your dodgy cartoons sir ❤

If you want to hit 1,000,000 don't forget the ballz! Lol good luck hope ya make it soon!

Babe wake up. Plainly difficult posted a new video!

Love your videos! I like to read the bingo card at the end. In future videos it may be helpful to leave it up just a little bit longer and then people who want to read it have a better chance to pause and compare. Congrats on getting close to 1 mill! I know you’ll make it soon!

Of course, the ice built up at the most critical part ... if it hadn't built up, then no disaster. We wouldn't have known.

Been with you since just after you passed 100k. Good work

I love your videos but I wish you would discuss your choices in terms of the disaster scale and effects, directly.
