    A bit of trivia: 96 men died in the construction of this damn. The last man to die was the son of the first man to die. Great video, thanks!

    The graphics are retro and minimalistic, while at the same time being extremely informative, clearly presenting each particular idea or concept. It's brilliant!

  • And 88 years later the dam is still working to perfection and hopefully will continue to serve America for years to come. Great video.

    Thank you. All the folks that created and produced this video of Hoover Dam should feel good that they provided a public good for all. A wonderful presentation.

    Please normalize audio levels, commentary is too quiet compared to the sound effects

    I am currently reading the 50 Anniversary book of the Dam and came across your work. All masterpieces in their own ways. All are first class and magnificent pieces of work from the dam, the book and video that each compliment each other. I will now dig out my books on I. K. Brunell…. Sincere thanks.

    Fantastic tribute, really, the the brains and brawn of hardworking guys. This video is fascinating in itself, but also recognizes the hard work and serious application of intelligence that gave us a much higher standard of life than our grandparents had. My dad was born in '24, so too young to have worked on the dam, but its engineering always awed him. And of course, to men his age, it was always "Boulder" Dam.

    I have been there many times and it is something to see in person you can't really appreciate it until you have been there amazing feat of engineering.
  • 300 feet of digging through millions of years of muck and rocks never seen by man ever would be kinda cool IMO. Amazing piece of engineering, I visited the dam twice and took the tour down inside, worth it.

    whoever edited this video did an awesome job and needs to be paid more
  • Special thanks for creating such useful video for us, watching from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
  • So convenient that the dynamite instantaneously blasted the rock into the perfect shape that was needed in one go. 😱 Haha. Nice video. Very good narration.👍
  • These animations are super useful to understand the subjects deeply thanks to your hole team

  • Very helpful , presents a lot of knowledge in very effective way. Being a structural engineer I always enjoy such videos.
