To the guy on the first story about the I40 collapse, I know how it is to want to save everyone but simply not be able to. The fact that you were there to save anyone makes a huge difference. I know it's as simple as doing the right thing and/or doing your job because I work in medicine, but not everyone has that response of going to help and we all rely on someone willing to help when we're in need. All we can do is try to help spread the notion and the know-how to help other people should any of us come across someone who could use some help. Good on you! Also, even if you were able to save everyone, those emotions still come because of the intensity of the situation too. It's normal and those emotions are also exactly what motivates a person to go over and help.

Sorry but... which part is about Australia's rail nightmare? You know as in the title of the video.

Did you watch their video about the Sydney Tower collapse ??? - it was actually about Mascot Towers apartments foundations cracking, yet they made it out like it as the Tourist landmark ( formerly called centre Point tower). They just used sensationalist headlines to get your attention. Kinda Sleazy to me …

re: Arkansas river bridge collapse - Like the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore MD on March 26, 2024 (practically my backyard). At this posting they are just starting to clear the last of bridge debris off the MV Dal[ so they can move the container ship and finally finish clearing the shipping channel.

Love all the over reations about the helicopter pilot, dropping the bags to save the dam. He flies them for his job, if he couldn't do it, he wouldn't have a job, simple as that. Before you know it, they will hand out participation awards for simply being in the same town as that storm event.

These anthology program videos really ought to list everything covered. I was here for the train derailment too, but I've seen another of these & know the mistake you make titling them,, I was going the make the same complaint then, but I was half asleep. What's wrong with: Bridge Collapse, Train Derailment & More Disasters! As a title.

It seems like the drivers of trains or the pilots of tugs pushing barges should have a second person in the cab who can take over if the primary driver is incapacitated. That, of course, would cost the tug and train companies money, reducing profits. What is the price of safety?

The barge pilots ought to be restricted to licensed only. The one in Louisiana only had minimal training and no maritime pilot's license. What's worse is that neither he, nor the one who knocked a US railbridge (don't remember the location) out of alignment alignment causing a passenger train to derail into the river ever thought to check for damage or to call authorities.

@@Trapper_Creek_2024 Well in the case of Trains at least, we have technology that can do exactly that. In the video they mention various "Dead-man" safety systems, but in addition to that, there are things like Automatic Train Stop/Control systems that can regulate the speed of the trains without input from the driver/engineer.

I am a big fan of railroading and you bring up a very big problem for any railroad company. But I agree with you. You used to have a crew of five here in the states. But then you had a very big increase in the pay for the crews. Costing a lot more money. Obviously they came up with the solution to reduce the crew number. Nowadays you have only two, both of them in the locomotive. But a very good question is, does it cause overwork for the crews? You even have a move to switch to zero crew remote controlled trains. And yes, you run into the Same problem, just how safe would they be? Especially when you have driver less taxis trying to run over police officers and possibly pedestrian traffic!

I thought so too ❤

The piers at the passage should have been massive, or at least three times larger in concrete cross section. Poor design with no barriers!

I'm no railway expert, but I thought a dead man switch was not a continuously 'on' type thing but it had to be repeatedly activated, like every 30 seconds or something like that. Building a "She'll be right" pedal so when the driver falls asleep or dies on it things just keep on going is so astonishingly idiotic by the designers. It even opens the door to some bozo just dumping a brick on it.

@wacojones8062

In the US it was a foot pedal you had to keep your foot on, many bricks were used instead of feet leading to many accidents then to better systems.

Force equals mass times acceleration. And a cargo ship has a shit-ton of mass.

The first responders, They actually walked and carried their equipment for over a kilometre.

Open the car window before crossing the bridge

Only one guy driving the tug ?

Why wouldn't you make the "so called" Dead man switch an Opposable thumbs mechanism as this would provide definite release at the point of any incident, Dead man pedals are the stupid way of thinking, One's hand will release in 99% of time other than electrocution and this is less likely in Australia as we are smarter with Electricity than most of the world

Thanks for accustoming Americans to the metric system. Also: regulations are written in blood, often lots of blood.

All look like that there should apply a buddy system in the operation room instead of single drivers.

The fault lies on the design engineers. Failing to insist on crash islands on BOTH sides of the pillars. There are still large gaps a vessel could get bthrough at an angle.

The prime cause of these accidents is the crazy. American syst em of pushing long barge trains rather than towing them . They call it towing but it is in fact pushing huge barges which has caused several serious accidents, including loss of life, which coud havebeen avoided if the barges has been towed from the front. It will require legislation to alter this ridiculous system Please write to your Congressman to demand a safer system on your rivers!
