Undocumented. Each of these has a story behind it, and these stories would have made a much better video. Some are photoshopped jokes, many are from remodels or repairs, some (like the trees) are planned to keep the trees, some are in-your-face "compliance" with handicapped access rules, and some are angry or bored construction workers. All have a reason for existing.

Um engineers don't actually do the building. That would be the contractors, the architects draw the plans. All engineers do is tell you what you need to do the job or how to fix it. All of these are construction fails, not engineering.

I have been an electrical contractor for many years in the large commercial and industrial setting. Almost all of the serious/dumb things we have ran into have been designed by architects or engineers and when we send R.F.I’sTo get the problem redesigned since we don’t have the authority to make onsite changes, it takes an incredibly long time for such a simple thing. Usually we are eventually instructed to install by contract drawings and that’s where you get a lot of “mistakes”.

@pmhernane3903

LOL depending on the type of engineer we are talking about. Most if not all of the contractors I meet are engineers and they hire engineers to looak after the site. Besides, engineering is not exclusive dor licensed engineers just like art is for everyone and not just for pro artists. But ofc, engineers in their own field are expected to know better than non-engineers.

Many "mistakes/fails" happen when a building is remodeled & it's cheaper to leave it than remove it.

It just looks like a load of fake photos.

In one of the examples an exit door is obviously placed where a platform or floor once stood as you can see the exposed brickwork. Also in some old buildings windows get bricked up by the occupants, especially if it is a business. In England when you go along the canal tow paths you see lots of doors that seem to lead to death as they are on the upper floor. However, many used to have a hoist on them to lift cargo out of the barges and on the wall above you can sometimes see the remnants of the fixings. Also in England, windows were bricked up in many houses leaving just the outline with it's lovely shaped brickwork because at one time property owners were made to pay taxes for each window.

Thank you for explaining how trains, doors and windows work. What an amazing service you provide.

The second of the two low installed ATM machines is in my home city. It’s long since been removed and bricked up but you can see the outline in the brickwork where it used to be.

Exactly how can the workers on mis~aligned bridges roads and train tracks not see it coming before the problem ends get even close? Some of these are simply stairway doors closed off but the stairs remaining. Severe incline ramps perhaps for passifying ignorant inspectors.

Half toilet: When my house was built, the upstairs was left unfinished until I could afford to finish it. The plumbing and walls were stubbed out. When I went to finish it, the toilet drain was too short for the toilet to clear the wall. I had to build a recess in the wall for the tank and back of the toilet. On a later house I had built, the contractor built a concrete porch and its roof. Unfortunately, the roof missed the porch by several feet. We had to close on the house unfinished, because we knew the contractor was going bankrupt. He left at least 12 houses unfinished. My employer built a new building. To save money on electricity, they installed motion-detector lighting switched---with too short time on. Ive carried a small flashlight ever since. They also made rooms between rooms that would lock automatically, trapping you in with no phone. Misplaced-timey clocks hung over outlets to hide the power source, and couldn be relcated. School and office clocks grequently were wired such that they could be controlled by a central office. I once built a clock into a wall, with the battery and controls on the other side of the wall. Interfeeing trees: too close to the foundation or driveway and the roots will destroy your foundationeering trees, and the tree will prbably die soon anyway and have to be taken down.
