Переглядів 86813 років тому
News coverage of a spectacular pier fire on the waterfront.
Unwatchable
Built in 3.5 years!! Today you couldn't get it engineered in 3.5 years.
Historic
Men that built this were God fearing men. Today it wouldn't be so.
I couldn't get past Minute #4 because the audio cut out every 45 seconds = Unlistenable and Unwatchable.
Whoever uploaded should have mentioned about the sound track or other issues to us re loss of audo 50/50% of the time and not go off and hide into obscurity!.
I wonder what these men would think of modern tunnel boring machines.
THE AUDIO CUTS IN & OUT
Great film; I love stuff like this. However when you get a chance find a way to correct the gaps in the narration. It takes away a lot from this great documentary. I could think of a few ways to do it. If you don’t have the skill set find someone who does or UA-cam it. I look forward to seeing the next new and improved version of (bullhorns at the ready) “Conquest on the Hudson”. Love it.
Beautiful video, wonder if anyone will get offended and have video removed.
I'm watching this as I sit in traffic on the Lincoln Tunnel at this very moment. Great engineering
Great video. I wish the audio didn't keep cutting out.
How cool is this awesome .a lot of people think the tunnel is in the water not under ground lol.
That's the way the Holland tunnel is constructed
WOW ....IS EXCELENTE VIDEO . Un trabajo de alto riesgo .....!!!
I drove under that tunnel so many times. I have to watch thr video, thank you so much.
16 bucks it cost to through it........that tunnel got paid off years ago. The port authority are a bunch of crooks.
wtf is up with the audio?
When men were real men
@2:00 sounds like the music from the little rascals
This was really interesting, too bad the audio keeps cutting out. Wish there were subtitles. Very amazing feat of engineering 1
It seems NYC has stopped building bridges and tunnels.
Because we don’t need anymore and plus nyc is broke af rn
It has a leak!! Careful !!!
How come that first guy through the shields after meeting was Micky Rooney?
Are all the workers chosen over 55 and grossly overweight like the guy in the pressure chamber?
What;s with the sound dropping out for 15 seconds twice a minute?
And it was done without computers
My respect for that generation of hardworking Wao very strong 💪 and smart..!! In America we are the best..!!
This was amazing and makes me feel proud about being an American. The birthplace of the Ford..Dodge..Chevy..and Chrysler. The beautiful minds of those that built this country.
You oughta see the film about how they built the subway in the first couple of years of the 20th Century. Makes this look like a making sand castles.
One day people will figure out if we stop making so many new people we won't have to constantly "grow." I do love seeing the city as I enter the tunnel.
Thank you great video
They had that original story telling accent back in those times 😂😂😂😂😂
Actually the microphones were just bad
@@loopje No, there’s some other reason.....
Tube made from cast iron. How long before it rots out and leaks water?
Too bad the sound on and off...otherwise an amazing documentary
Why build it under and not on top of it?
That you Bob Moses?
Dogshit audio it dogshit
wtf is with all the sound cutouts, i can't watch this like that.
Bruce Merrill Jesus it’s a video from the 1930s suck it up you inconsiderate a hole
They worked in regular street clothes without any face masks, etc. Wow, incredible how these guys worked so hard and such risks they took. Thank you men for your hard work.
Pussies now a days won’t go to work if they get their feelings hurt..
@@ENJAYALLDAY57 I won't work in unsafe conditions. A lot of these brave men suffered long term health affects due to these working condiuton. That's the reason why we have organizations like OSHA.
OSHA didn’t yet exist. Flirting with danger had been running rampant since they built the pyramids. Thank God for OSHA
Low pay to
i believe the narrator is speaking the truth when talks about the number of cars traveling through the holland tunnel looking at those cars from the 20s 30s that's all most a hundred years this film looks like it was made about 1930 something the sound quality appears to be fading with age in those days that camera was the newest technology available
fix the sound!
OLD ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE
How many comments on bad audio did you encounter before you left this comment?
just drove through it, had to see how its made, fantastic
This is incredible! These men worked so hard!! It looks so dangerous and it is tedious work, an hour and half to inset one segment of each ring!! Ugh, God bless them
No and hour and a half to do each ring...not each 4 foot or so segment.
i was in the lincon tunell like añ hour ago
That opening date for the LT's first tube was in 1937!
Increíble pensar que pasé por ahí
hussein obama said, "You didn't build that. Somebody else built that."
That's some damn hard work
What's up with the AUDIO?!
This came from a VHS tape that had the film on it. Due to the age of the film and soundtrack, as well as damaged/lost frames and/or audio transfer issues (whether it be from film to videotape, videotape to digital, or possibly both; maybe a corrupted audio file?), some parts of the audio portion are silent, while some parts of the video portion may freeze up (eg. the opening titles).
have to admit with the equipment they had back then was ancient...but the tunneling cutter was pretty neat....amazing stuff...thank you for posting this....
This audio soundtrack has much to be desired. It keeps interrupting.
its from fucken 1930....
@@stevewill1940 Would have been interesting to hear all of the audio.
Did you ever think that I'm those areas where the sound goes out there certain information didn't want you to know look for the original video try the history channel
@@EddieLopez711 I was thinking the same..
This is when America was doing amazing things. In the midst of all sorts of social issues, they did some wonderful projects back then. Sad that our nation has been sold off to the highest bidder, as well as our government. The only way to save this nation is to renovate every single bit of the infrastructure, and hire whoever wants to work at Union wages. No federal BS on who can and who cannot work, let every man and woman work their way out of their financial and social status.
E. Geno Speight Trump will change that!
This is when the mega rich in America paid their fair share of taxes.
America still does amazing things. Don't claim ignorance look around you the civil engineering projects we do are insane. Look at boston big dig, seattle's big dig, two small but massive examples of mega civil engineering projects America has done.
Nothing gets built today. The NIMBY gang protests, crazy work and union rules make it too expensive, and everything is studied to death and by the time they get through with the red tape the costs have gone through the roof and there's no funds to build the project.
Of course it's ok to raise taxes for all that work and pay people decent wages right? First we can get rid of big government and the first place to start is the military, right?
