Oops. 100kg and 14.5 tonnes do seem a bit light! We seem to be missing a few zeros, sorry about that. We meant, and should have, said “Not ideal for around 14,5000 tons of marble on top.” And “Around 100kg of soil was removed each day over the course of the year.” What a different building it would be if it was only 14.5 tonnes!

14,5 tons??? 100kgs of soil??? they tied it to the ROOF of a nearby cathedral which probably is as old as the tower itself??? come on, i love this channel, but you have to check your numbers better

Excuse me! Who wrote the script for this video? They removed 100Kg of soil over 1 year (2:48). Are you serious? I could do that under 5 minutes. And what's that about it weighing 14.5 tons? (0:20). A few blocks of marble would weigh that much alone!

A bus with full capacity weights about 14 tonne. And 100 kilogram of soil is nothing for a construction worker even for a day lol. Jheni is quite new so don't be too hard on her. But i must say that this is bad even for a simple mistake. HeadSqueeze needs to do some clarification on this.

15 and a half tons? No chance in hell. I work in construction for a living. I've dropped piles on houses that held that much ALONE, and this is just a wood framed house. The tower of Pisa weighs a SHIT TON more than 15 and a half tones.

Are you sure about the "100 Kilograms of soil"? Because that's only a couple of sacks of dirt. Try to imagine that amount of soil being dug out in a course of an year... That's literally 5 minutes worth of work with a shovel for Christ's sake...

Soft soil, a river, and limited resources in the old ages, today since the structure is now historical, engineers are doing what they can to stabilize the tower. My speculation is there is still underground water flowing perhaps slowly, which is keeping the soil soft. Id say create a cylinder of cement as a damn around the tower add weights just enough to keep it leaning as it is. Hope to keep this comment positive.

It leans because this tower was meant to be 100 meters, but at 55 meters the tower couldn't last anymore and it leaned to south. saved 3 minutes of your life

thank you very much for making this video! my daughter had a project on the leaning tower of Pisa and this helped her a lot!

LOL. "Tie it to the nearby cathedral". Sounds like something out of a Chevy Chase movie where the whole roof of the cathedral will be ripped off.

I think 38 cubic metres of soil weighs more than 100kg.. Not to mention that they removed another 70 metric tons of ground in 2008 to stop it tipping over.

Wow at 2:56 5 degree angle looks like 85 degree. They should have shown 5 degree angle with the vertices line not with horizontal.

I'm surprised you didn't speak about the tower's center of gravity. Even though the tower is leaning its center of gravity still passes through its base.

Thank you for uploading!

I have a fact about the leaning tower of piza that will confuse 99% of you. The leaning tower of piza is at a 3.99 degrees angle whilst a tower of the castle in Wales (Castell Caerphilly) leans at a 10 degree angle. Each year the leaning tower of piza has 5 million visitors and Caerphilly castle 900,000. I also want to say that Wales has so many tourist attractions that are never recognised. Why is this then?

fascinating, thanks guys.

i love this channel!

This funny gril recommended this... do not regret it!

TL:DR the tower was built into marsh land and they piled things on the northern side then dig up the ground a little

I wonder how many tough guys push up against the side and try to stand it straight.

Who did the research for this video? The tower weight is 14.5 tons of marble? Are you kidding me? They removed 100 kilograms of soil and stabelized it with 10 tons of lead? Come on this is a joke, is it! Next time do your job a bit better, please

This was really cool.

It's kind of silly that they didn't just straighten it up completely and make it completely stable. I guess they don't think people will want to come see it anymore if it isn't leaning.

Its weight is estimated at 14,500 metric tons and not 100kg but 100,000kg of soil

y they no just jack up the low side and fortify the ground?

Please can you do this: How does a humidifier work ? Why does vibrating water turn it into mist ?

It's because bad construction made it lean when the third layer was put on and it leans a little more every year.

Pause at :56 The dotted lines don't follow the contour of the building. What is this?

guys chill your beans...i think that they only removed 100kg of soil in a year because if they removed too much at once, then it would have been too sudden for the tower to cope with!

You do realize that you can get more than 100kg of soil into a single wheelbarrow? That's a single guy with a shovel and about 15 minutes of his time. In other words, she's a talking head reading copy that wasn't researched. This is so amateur that I'm embarrassed for them.

i have personally shoveled hundreds of kilograms of soil per day while i was helping a friend renovating his house. literally with a shovel. 100 kilograms is not even a wheelbarrow full of soil. 100 tons would seem more fitting. thinking about it, every single number in this video seems to be off by 3 orders of magnitude. looking at wikipedia reveals that this indeed seems to be the case. the tower weighs about 14500 tons, not 14.5. ಠ_ಠ

But isn't the real question: Why didn't if fall over 800 years ago? How come it has only leaned so far and...stopped 'falling' back then? And why did it start 'falling' again.

@ThesanRep

to be honest it leaned very few till 1800... then an idiotic archeologist proposed to solve the leaning problem pumping away the water in the soil... and the problem got VERY worse... in 1990 the lending was at 4.5 degrees (close to the point of no return of 5 degrees) so the consolidation problems were no more deferrable.

@ThesanRep

"Why didn't it fall 800 years ago?" Because the construction site lasted 200 years... in so much time you can "correct" the problems of the leaning (at least... a little) that's why it lasted 620 years with no maintenance.

@Head Squeeze, are you sure they fixed everything by removing 100 kg of soil? You know that's just a couple of bucketfuls.

Only 100kg? I don't think so xD

lol 100 Kg = 220 Lbs of :-P not thrue it was by removing 38 cubic metres (1,342 cubic feet) of soil from underneath the raised end. The tower was straightened by 45 centimetres (17.7 inches), returning to its 1838 position. After a decade of corrective reconstruction and stabilization efforts, the tower was reopened to the public on December 15, 2001, and was declared stable for at least another 300 years.

if you're leaning on the leaning tower of pisa, are you actually leaning?

They took 4 bags of compost worth of soil out from under it (100kg)? The marble in the tower weighs 14.5 tons? This video is not correct ignore it Edit just seen retraction. Still how did they mess up 2 times

Hmm. 14,5000? Did you mean 14,500? We'll get there eventually :D. Enjoying all the videos though.

What's even worse is the fact that the tower is now leaning right towards the cathedral it was built near, if the tower ever falls over, it could not only destroy the adjacent church but also kill hundreds of people inside!

14.5 tons of marble? 100kg of soil? Was checking it this was released on 1 April. Anyway, it is not the first time a Head Squeeze vid is factually incorrect. The one about paper sizes states that A0 is 1m x 1m...

Its weight is estimated at 14,500 metric tons

So is the tower open to the public now?

I didn't know the walls were made of mobble and rubble. But yeah the quantities of weight of both building materials and earth removed seem a bit puny. I assumed there were a few digits missing. So 14 kg each day for a year would equate to approximately five thousand, one hundred ten kg or eleven thousand, two hundred sixty five pounds, or 5.6 tons of earth. Sounds more plausible. Now I have to go find out what mobble is.

Could you explain how the Statue of Liberty was built?

As the others point out it is an attraction. It attracts many tourists. Tourists put money in the local economy, they sleep in the hotels, they desire to go out on dinner. They might even look at more old stuff while they are there. Guess what that is allot of money going round. I definitely would know it if I had something like that in my town. I would do my best to keep it. Tacoma Narrows bridge was different. it might be saved.. if they had though of cross beams or other structural improvements by then. But they hadn't. And if you fix Tacoma Narrows Bridge.. really how many people would go there? Or in GTA san andreas, there is a small town with the biggest cock. Oh yes that rooster is huge! Actually that defines that town. In the end it is about money.

actually that is probably the only think that makes sense in this video. this technique is used in other construction sites too. they freeze the loose soil, which also contains water, making it totally stable and capable of holding the weight

The Ratneshwar temple near Manikarnika Ghat located in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India, leans by 9 degrees, which is 5 degrees more than the leaning tower of Pisa.

Y not just fix it completely and make it stand straight up?!?! Duhh!

Interesting. By the way it is spelled as 'rubble' not 'rouble'. Rouble is the russian currency. Rubble are the rocks and debris etc

Well I do get Eiffel tower, but Pisa is just some product of poor foundation. Only reason it's still leaning is because people have put so many hours in keeping it that way with temporary fixes... I guess it's landmark of human stupidity? Tough tbf it's nice land mark on it's own. Just the leaning part is useless. Granted I could make up bs like "Building itself was such a fine piece of architechture that people working on it couldn't just left it unfinished. And to this day Pisa remains leaning as appreciation to architecht even with it's flaws. As no one is perfect.". Though I'd still think straight would've done the thing. As showcasing the biggest flaw as it's defining feature is a bit off from original intent in that case. Or either or... idc really. Most likely better tourist attraction this way. Anyways... Yeah as noted in comments quite a few times already. Please do your homework with measurements. To be frank you should double check your video. It doesn't fit for this channel if you just babble on about for a while, graphics team slaps their part on and finished. Well sure if that works, but doesn't look like that's the case. Trying to make informational videos and ending up with so much misinformation ain't most ideal of results. By sound of these "engineers" I wouldn't be too surprised if it was 100kg at time. Well that's still quite an operation. Though weirdly missing a person who knew about forbbidden art of math. Wire solution would've been fun to see as it would've been grabbing for help from it's fellow building. (Poor as a solution. Just fun to think of.)

It's an obelisk and national monument at the same time.

Trade me for this and bertoli olive oil factory , if Shakespeare was the architect then , I too can do something like this at Mars 😔

so what happens when an earthquake hits

The architect's name is probably not on the structure because he wasn't a real architect or else he would have known not to build a foundation on top soil not because he was ashamed of it because it took years for it start leaning. and this is a science channel?

100 kilograms is only 220 pounds. They removed a fat man from the soil?

You lost three zeroes in the tower's weight.
