Completed in 2014, the Shanghai Tower is an impressive monument to China’s recent rise to power. This 632 metre behemoth is built to withstand powerful typhoons as well as terrorist attacks. The chief architect behind the building is also responsible for the design of the Twin Towers and this is the story of how he designed this huge structure with this tragedy in mind.

I call click bait!! Minoru Yamasaki was the architect of the Twin Towers. He died in 1986. You haven’t explained how he could’ve possibly designed the World Financial tower, completed in 2008!! The later building was designed by the firm Kohn Pedersen Fox. Further, the building in the picture isn’t that building. It’s the Shanghai Tower. Get your facts straight.
You can’t call click bait if you weren’t baited
I don't believe china's works...
Someone who has Brain's
I was going to comment click bait also...for the fact that they used Shanghai Tower in their Image.
It isnt clickbait It's just sheer stupidity
This building is nicknamed as a Can opener.
The high tec crane with duct tape across the front windscreen :)
When I look at the top of this building I automatically think of a bottle opener 😂
Looks like tofu project.
Godzilla and king Kong would feel the same
Me too. Now we need an 85 story bottle of Old Peculier
A gaint bottle opener and corkscrew. Those architects are alcoholics
what good is terror proof if most foreign company's left and most chinese are jobless and starving. China holds the most nos. of vacant buildings around the world.
Same case in North America and Europe. It's a global phenomenon after COVID.

Architects design it and structural engineers sweat making the design work
....and workers risk their lives to build it.
@@Chris-ut6eq Well they do if they don't latch their harnesses on
And as a structural ironworker, I see these sweating engineers like I see 2 headed unicorns flying around the job sites.
@@bradleywalsh4103 I was a project manager in the UK They attended every site meeting
@keithadams1538 and so they should my friend. As a crew foreman I'm regularly in contact with Site Supers and Project Managers and very seldomnly see engineers whether its for GCs or a trade employer's in-house engineers, and thats generally hierarchy setup but that being said, in my experience, most engineers unless called to site, "sweat" the job from the office. I'm not saying their workload is minimal in any way, I'm sure they spend a ton of hours and work hard on a project. There's a classic construction meme out there regarding engineers "I don't know anything about building but my book says you're doing it wrong". I would argue engineers sweat far less than you as a Project Manager or Site Superintendent ensuring compliance, or than any of the construction trades actually realizing their portion of the vision. If I am wrong, you have my apologies, this is just my opinion. Construction is generally a tough job accross the board.
Beautiful design in streets combining in cities and villages around planet like concept and base could make miracle in humans quality life. For example it could be implemented not only in smart cities and smart villages but and in just cities and villages. Maybe basic concept for each city to have beautiful design in future
Correction: Shanghai is not the Chinese biggest city. The biggest is Chongqing with more than 32 million inhabitants distributed over 82,400 square kilometers.
Why did the channel use an image of the Shanghai Tower?

Export the Azure, 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.

Both those towers are overshadowed now.
unless concentrated thermite is used
Yup, it’s not gona be safe from controlled demolition.

Dank memes can’t melt steel beams.
40:37 No structure is safe when exotic energy technology is projected against it, such as what occurred during the 9/11 event. The designer of the Twin Towers constructed them to withstand multiple impacts from the mainstream airliner at the time, which was a four-engined aircraft. The weaponized aircraft used on 9/11 were two-engined. But proper research has shown that aircraft did not cause the destruction of the WTC. Evidence suggests it was something in the context of The Hutchison Effect, projected field-interference that deteriorated the material structure of the buildings on a 'particulate' level.

I am not sure anything is perfectly designed to be 100% safe there is always going to be risks and problems it's like when they said titanic was not sinkable there is always the unforeseen.
Chinese construction and engineering is mega impressive. ❤
Yes but many buildings are sitting empty

22:50 the ISS is NOT that high as pictured. Not even close.
They mined more than 700,000 tons of iron for steel to stand it straight up humans are so weird
Is it thermite proof?
Grow up. Nothing can with stand a nuclear attack.
2000 Chinese underpaid workers using materials that were allocated for the construction of the tower to be strong and secure by “foreign engineers, typically United States or Britain and possibly French or Italian”. However in most cases the corruption stems from CCP members who divert the funds to their prospective purposes, aka concrete, steel, quality control institutions that check the integrity of the reinforced concrete that is supposed to be used and all sorts of other aspects involved in the construction of a high rise building. Only problem is that the corrupt CCCP member buys lesser quality materials and lesser quality rebar “if any at all” and then the (under the table) laborers get paid less and less and all that skimmed $$ goes into the pockets of those corrupt CCP bureaucrats. I would not feel safe even a half mile away from any city in China with skyscrapers. They literally just fall to pieces. They are absolute garbage, just like almost everything else made in China.
Underpaid by US standards. At least they can finish projects on time. Meanwhile in the US basically every single public works project is delayed.
Did a Chinese man take your wife? Or did a Chinese woman you liked reject you? Your insecurities against the Chinese is evident. China has some of the world’s largest bridges and towers and dams. None of them are “literally falling into pieces,” like how you are saying.
I like the way you think & I love it when an American is still stuck on that idea until now. You think the way your government wants you to think.
Sadly our infrastructure in the US is way behind and look at all the crumbling buildings in NYC and Miami and bridges across the states we are no better. And our construction labor unions are just as corrupt you have guys listed on the job sites that aren’t even ever at work collecting paychecks
why would they build such a big building when they are actively knocking down other high rise buildings that went unoccupied after being built?, different region I suppose but still?
1999?
terrorism? least cause of death anywhere

Thought crossed my mind, what if climate change happened because impossible to find who is owner for plants which are produce carbon print on planet. And what if to make this property environment clear for each country, ciry, village,buildfing, owner around planet. Think after audit and recommendations to this plants will be easier reduce carbon print and climate change by itself, just by finding and talking with owners how to modern all industry buildings.
And what if create intelligent system for regulate temperature first of all for health, sanitation, food production, pleasure, business and other important things through intelligent regulation through buildings around planet. Counted for best conditions in real time though sensors, detectors, messages and calculations. And to make it highly stable and safe regulation.
Detailed for each city and village in real time. And I have seen that quantity of fish is changes with time, control underwater world with detectors and sensors could also help to keep attention on population different alive creations(include coral riffs) and regulate them :)
The thumbnail for this video is misleading. 😢
Only in China would they duct tape fix a crane windscreen thats half a km in the air. Also the thumbnail pic is not the building this is about.
Did anyone say it was?? Please look at the title again and then give it some thought.
@@dougholliday467I can’t think of a good reason to use a completely different building in the thumbnail and I’ve read the title again, don’t see your point.

Has the Twin Tower architect ever explained how BOTH towers sequentially, systematically, and SYMMETRICALLY deconstructed themselves from top to bottom, even though the top of one tower tipped off to the side at the start of collapse? The top section was tipped off to the side, and the tower beneath it still deconstructed itself SYMMETRICALLY.

Gravity is a downwards force. Did you expect some cartoon instead?
@@FEMADEATHCAMPCONTROL You completely failed to understand my comment. I'm not going to waste time on you.
It's true. The plane also could never bring down that building on it's own. The most damage it could do is maybe 3-5 floors.
"Promo SM" 😪
Can History defy Physics? How do you make a structure 300 or more meters tall support its own weight? The Eiffel Tower is 10,000 tons of wrought iron. The distribution of that iron is obvious since it is only a structure not a building that has to keep out the elements. The distribution is exponential. Has Physics been History since 9/11/01? The 5th level of the North Tower had to support the weight of 105 levels. No ifs, ands or buts. Level 105 only had to support the weight of 5 more levels. So did level 5 and level 105 contain the same amount of steel? Where is the data on the distribution of steel down the Twin Towers, including the 6 basement levels? When and where have any "experts" discussed and demanded that data in Two Decades? If it happened it should be history. If it never happened it would still be history, just a very different kind. Physics does not give a damn about history however. The Laws of Physics cannot be broken.
Derp.

@@psikeyhackr6914 yes l agree this isn't rocket surgery Can you provide me with a link to data of WTC core column dimensions, their bracing, manufacture and installation ? I'm not adversarial just curious if redundancy standards were effected in construction
@@davepowell7168 ROLF This is one of the ridiculous issues. The core was 85 by 135 ft with 47 columns. There were horizontal beams in the core bracing the columns. I have NEVER seen a layout of those beams. I do not know if they varied in thickness down the buildings. Years ago I communicated with Lon Waters PhD in applied mathematics. He told me that he could not find any data on the horizontal beams. In May of 2008 Richard Gage of AE911Truth gave one of his dog and pony shows at Chicago Circle Campus. I drove into town to talk to him. I got in line after the show and asked him about the distribution of steel down the towers. He looked at me like I had grown a 2nd head. He finally said that the NIST was not giving out accurate blueprints. There are 100+ skyscrapers around the world over 300 meters. Gravity works the same way everywhere. At least that is what I have heard. There are people who know how to figure this stuff out. This silence varies from hilarious to scary. I downloaded the entire NCSTAR1 report by the NIST in 2007. They do not even specify the total amount of concrete in the towers. How weird is that?
China recognizes every pagan godless powerless spirt there is But not the KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS.
until it starts leaking all over due to tofu dreg construction practices.
There's no such thing as terror proof,, fuckin reporting...
