Every Bridge For Every Situation, Explained By an Engineer | A World of Difference | WIRED

Dr. Nehemiah Mabry, PE, knows a lot about bridges. Nehemiah is a structural engineer and an educator; and he builds bridges for a living. Dr. Mabry sits down with WIRED to talk about all different kinds of bridges from around the globe. What's the difference between a cable-stayed bridge and a suspension bridge? Are bridges in China different from bridges in the United States? Why do they decide to build one bridge over another type of bridge?

Not to sound repetitive or anything... but whoever was in charge of lighting here shouldn't be allowed near a light bulb ever again.

[bashbashbash]

bruh i just watched a 20 min video about bridges 💀💀💀 this dude is amazing they did him dirty with that lighting

[tinab]

They need to do a follow up video with him just so he can get better lighting and he can talk about whatever he wants.

[L.O.Hammmm]

Can't believe nobody else has pointed this out, but the lighting is amazing!
Great job, really digging the whole "witness protection gotta hide this dude's identity" vibe

[히끼히끼-ve]

This dude must have honey in his voice how tf did 24 minutes of bridge talk look like 5

[GalileoCap]

This guy is **really** good at explaining, I'd love to listen to him talk for longer!

[openingband]

This is like How It’s Made. I don’t care but I can’t look away.

[LashanR]

As someone who studied Civil Engineering with Architecture, thanks for reminding me what I actually did during my degree.

[TheEvox]

I love watching smart people talk about something they are passionate about. There's such a subtle happiness on his face as he talks about something that a lot of people would find dull.

[Sinaeb]

narrator voice is too strong compared to the guy

[DackxJaniels]

Wired: "Do people usually want to see the eyes of someone they are listening to?"

Also Wired: "Nah"

[KnigthMare]

Ok, i wasn't expecting to watch the whole video and be so drawn to bridges like that

[sagnikpradhan]

Dude, those shadows on him arent great. My eyes are painful.

[everestlee]

Love how casual he sounds with this. He explains it so well with a great voice.

[Yorknew]

This guy loves bridges so much he even has one on top of his eyes

[melinapiccolo]

ok great I came to read the comments and i'm glad i'm not the only one complaining they could have done a better job on lighting his face. poor guy, deserved a lot more.

[NohStar]

the poor guy looks like he’s under a bridge with that shadow on his head

[TheDudeSon]

The female sounds too much of a voice over (instead of an interviewer) for me to not be annoyed with it. Also the ligting is throwing me off

[dougwoolery]

As a third year civil Engineering student in Jamaica. I really enjoyed it, these are the people who should teach ppl, get them motivated and interested in the world of civil and structural engineering

[FingeringThings]

This is an amazing answer to a question I never thought I had
