How skyscapers became lighter: The Empire State Building compared to the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower.

The Empire State building also had to withstand the stress of being climbed by a a giant ape

This has the feel of one of those educational videos from the 90's.

I'm not a big engineering guy, heck i don't know the basics, but i would listen to this guy explain atuff about engineering for an hour just because of that soothing voice

Jimmy Carter is an expert on architecture.

Took me over 30 years to realize that skyscrapers sway in the wind. I was a high rise window cleaner, and i was on the side of a building when i realized that the building was swaying. Because, you know, I wasnt scared enough already!

I wish I had the internet, you and similar youtubers back in 1999. Kids today are lucky to have access to all this information, able to be inspired, see what they like, make decisions for their lives and plot their career.

Empire State Building is one fine looking building, inside and out.

"Less and less heavy."
"You mean lighter?"
"I'm an engineer. Not an English major."😂

I love when he says "be creative, be an engineer"

[DiggitySlice]

This guy's voice is amazing for explaining things.

The empire state building was also originally created to be a refueling station for blimps. So it had to be sturdy enough for that too

Its great to see you back on youtube sir ❤ Love your stuff

[outlawblack]

I live in Chicago and still go up top the Sears Tower twice a year. The views are breathtaking and I am still fascinated with this architectal that was made 50 years ago!

[briangman]

I love how engineers are so skilled and we get paid half or less of the management team that does everything randomly without processes or standard methods

[Dude-yoec]

I love random algorithm videos YouTube gives you. This gentleman deserves a subscribe

[techmaster]

Every time this man says "Willis Tower, " another digit is added to a Chicagoan's blood pressure.

Dude! Where you been? I've been having to rewatch the aluminum can episode to get my fix. I hope this means we get to continue learning from you! Great to see you back my dude! Thanks!
