For part two of this I'd start with a diamond pick axe with the following enchantments fortune III, unbreaking III, efficiency V and mending.
"the Hibernia builders must do better than the builders of the titanic" OceanGate: " hold my beer"
The building of the Hibernia was an extraordinary undertaking. Man has accomplished incredible feats since the advent of the Industrial Revolution and the Technological Revolution.

"The assembled GBS was towed out on May 23, 1997, and installed in position on June 5. First oil was produced on November 17, 1997, four weeks ahead of schedule."
GREAT THINGS ARE DONE ✔️

As amazing as this video production is… It’s 33 years old !
Surround the place with tungsten steel rods and come to a point and when they come in contact with the ice the rods vibrate like crazy and break the ice up
The first two projects were really great and amazing for man kind the first one seems like one way to help destroy it.
My brother just retired from EB Quonset on Friday. He was there 46 years 2 months and 2 days. His retirement party was yesterday. I’ve been to many launches including the Seawolves. We were just talking about the Seawolf and how much harder it was to build than the Trident. EB changed the way they designed their blue prints when they created the Seawolf. It was incredibly hard to build but groundbreaking in every way. Columbia Class are the new all in one subs on the block. They are going to be way beyond anything ever made to date.

Nobody noticed this is narrated by Luke Skywalker. So much more entertaining then the sequel trilogy
At least Ocean Gate learned.
Nice
Great Movie
I already see a major design flaw in that oil rig mounting base, I literally can't believe they don't see it.

I worked at EB for six months between when I got out of the military and starting a 2 year technical college. I did electronics wiring which was pretty boring. I did the main communications panel on the submarine Groton, it took two months and I was told I did it in half the study time. I also hooked up and tested sound powered phones. A Navy guy had to sign off on my work. This was in 1976.

When an iceberg is headed to such an offshore structure, controlled demolition seems like a smarter method to weaken it, reduce its mass and break it up.

Export the Quantum, Chat GPT, Revit, Plant 3D, Civil 3D, Inventor, ENGI file of the Building or Refinery to Excel, prepare Budget 1 and export it to COBRA. Prepare Budget 2 and export it to Microsoft Project. Solve the problems of Overallocated Resources, Planning Problems, prepare the Budget 3 with which the construction of the Building or the Refinery is going to be quoted.
Considering this was about 1991, the oil field was worth about 24 billion in today's money
They said the same about the titanic and look what happened to it lol
This is impressive beyond beliefe
Nuclear subs power stations after watching these for years seems safer than what we most fear its all about maintence and watching them dials . for a submarine never having to refuel for years and you never hear of them blowing up Straya shud buy a few not oil burners time to grow up and quiten the greenies a bit
7:15, and ocean gate
They missed probably the biggest mine. I told our government where it is. Anybody want to know? =)
when was that documentary made ?? they talk about replacement of the periscope by liquid plasma display. this is so behind technicaly !
I bet thry never gave the road builder any of the millions tbey saved sure they gave him a weeks extra pay or some crap like that but that man deserved major comp for saving so much
Well that comment about the Titanic and her engineers aged well. R.I.P. Titan Sub #oceangate
Tallest skyscraper is what??? Must be 20 years old this documentary
Why don't they hire me and I'll use submersible drones to push any ice burgs out of the way
Crazy how they just visited places looking to exploit their goods
#one people that work offshore are there for the money # two human beings will panic I have seen it first hand and it's unbelievable mayhem!! people are frighted to die
Very well done documentary. However, a submarine is referred to as a boat not a ship.
The sea wolf part was .....well, lacking
I know this footage is about 30yr old and technology changes but that slide, netting thing they had to get I to the life rafts are really slow..
Magnificent.
The submarine technology touted in the video is old school stuff...nothing was mentioned of the all new paddle wheel propulsion system.

> truthforjustice4366 Perhaps nothing was mentioned of the "new paddle wheel propulsion system" that you spoke of because it didn't exist back then? I reckon the submarine technology featured in this video that you referred to as "old school" was what they were using when this video was made. Nonetheless, I thought what they did was incredible.
Did I hear correctly a cost of 4.5 billion dollars to abstract 3 billion dollars that doesn't sound economic

Normally, I belive that would be chalked off to a "leadership failure" based on what an old retired USN Master Chief taught me and that would also align with what the materials in the PMI Project Management program reflected as well from what I remember.....
They forgot to refer to the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster, south of Louisiana in Gulf of Mexico which destroyed the wildlife of the entire Gulf of Mexico.

First oil isn't a fossil fuel it created by heat and pressure where carbon is available not where dead plants and animals lay. The only places animals remains have been found is the the tar pits where the animals were trapped. If some idiot says oil is a fossil fuel how much other stupidity are they going to spout.

We need the fuel, and mineral resources to be able to build and power what is required to supply water people where there is not enough water. You need energy, metals, concrete, great machines to bring water to some places. Mining and oil extraction are needed, but the global warmists aim to end that.
nice documentary, but quality is below the mud lvl :(

Your narrator said a lie! talking of H M Hunley contact interaction with Housatonic! Narrator said, " "Housatonic was undamaged"? Not from the history book I read. It sank from the explosive, sinking killing 5 crew man. Get your fact Streight. It is the first time a submarine interaction sank another vessel.

While an amazing creation, it seems also a colossal waste of human endeavour all just to drag up oil from the depths, and that... just to BURN IT UP! We burn it just to make heat (for power to transport, by land, sea or air) and supply direct heating and electricity. By electrifying conversion and using ever advancing mechanical or electric batteries, huge megawatt wind turbines and solar farms can finally store all surplus energy and transport is more and more electric, indeed the Solar Aptera runs up to 1000 miles on a charge AND add up to 40 miles per day,... by the sun only!

I can imagine how much more this country would be messed up under socialism/communism with only the elite born and corrupted doing as they please without the little guy ever having the opportunity to better their own lives. And imagine if whatever country you live in actually did or does what you seem to imply? JMHO, but unless you are a US Citezen, I suggest you tend to your own country's issues and also point out, that without the technological advances and inventions of the US, you most likely wouldn't currently have the tech that you're using to throw shit at the US from wherever you live? Have a day!

Addison. Go look at the factory workers that build those cars and the wealth that is created by building those cars. 40,000 people a year die in car accidents. Nothing compared to 350 million US population . Sports car engineering technology transfers to more affordable car over time. Focus on getting rich. Taxes should take car of those problems you mentioned.
