00:00:00 Mega Dams & Channels
The need of new territory has pushed water engineers to design new technology to create or preserve land. On the one side, cutting-edge technology has been design to dry marshes or to protect cities from flood, like Venice. But water is also behind or the object of other great technical challenges: how do we use it to create enough energy? How do we build canals and locks to make transportation more convenient, faster and safer?
00:51:21 Bridging the Gap
To gain the other side, to cross the bay, a curiosity, then an obligation which pushed the Man, from the first times of its history, to develop techniques of construction to overcome these obstacles. From the first bridges in liana, through the Roman aqueducts to the viaduct of Millau which spans the valley of the Tarn to 270 m in height, the genius of the man was expressed in the civil engineering…These technical feats, traits of union between men, are, in the broad sense, true works of art. Thus man has developed, thanks to science and its applications, a way to get closer to other men and to become master of time, and space…
01:42:17 Higher & Higher
Which was the invention that propelled the construction of higher and higher buildings? Concrete? Iron? Not really… It was the elevator: as matter of fact nobody would have accepted to live on the 40th floor without it. From the Tower of Babel to the Kingdom Tower in Saudi Arabia, humanity has always searched to build bigger and higher. What are the scientific advance and technologies that have made it possible to « touch » the sky. Will there be any limits? From the field of physics, to chemistry, maths and all other hard sciences, scientists share the thirst of knowledge and curiosity. Combining dramatic specialist photography with innovative CGI, all set in spectacular locations across the world, this documentary is the pilot of a future series that will highlight the history of human ingenuity.

Those root bridges were really cool.
-
Erm, the first suspension bridge in the world WAS NOT in the USA, it was the Menai bridge in Wales, completed in 1826! The Brooklyn Bridge wasn't completed until 57 years later!
-
I believe the Tacoma Narrows bridge had remedial cables, laid out, ready to be fitted. Unfortunately the person who was to arrange insurance which would have rebuilt the damaged structure, purloined the payment. The Brockland bridge incorporated secondary, cable stayed bridge secondary support, being German designed it had " belt and braces" philosophy included. Mister Robling had built suspension bridges all across Europe.the frame of the Empire State building was of Krupp Steel. When checking safety around 1990, it was found to be able to rise a further twenty floors.

20:22 This is the strangest pronunciation of 'Nicaragua'.

To hold that much water back?? DAMMM!!

Now people can't come together to think of productive stuff like this instead still deciding which toilet to use

We built the Panama Canal. But we gave it up to Panama? What did they pay?
-
getting her to come off a watch is like survivng lethal injection twice
-
I wonder how all of the families that lived there for GENERATIONS really felt. I really hope that they were compensated for that progress. Progress is necessary, but at what cost?
-
I'm not going to watch this but I do have to say that the pic for this video is absolutely amazing
-
If they would just let Rivers do their natural thing by letting the sediment flow down all the rivers it would build land but they have destroyed that
-
2:32:15 wow!!
-
Woota?

Mase write the intro down and read it, simple.:finger-red-number-one::finger-red-number-one:

Create neiw islands to mild seawater level
-
It would take 30+ years to build anything in the USA of the magnitude shown here
-
Would you be comfortable working everyday in one of the tallest buildings in the world?
-
In the building portion of the video, I noticed that the twin towers were not mentioned, ya know the building that fell.
-
Steel is NOT made by adding carbon to iron. It is made by taking carbon OUT OF cast iron. steve
