I really appreciate how this channel does not over-hype itself with clickbait and over dramatise on commentary, and I especially appreciate that in the absolute majority of clips people were not harmed or killed. There are a lot of channels like this on YT but Underworld stands out in it's reporting, thank you.

#7, The owner of the apartment should be thanked for taking responsibility for their residents by housing them and paying for meals until the issues could be sorted out. You don’t see that often without a lot of resistance.

That guy pressing the fire alarm button is the real hero, not those who appeared in the front of the cameras, he is! Saved more lives than he thought he would by pressing that button

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="165">2:45</a> The structure is about to collapse, fire is raining down, but some guys are casually strolling around..😂

#2 "some cosmetic damage" "a few scratches on the hood" 😂🤣👌

I'm pretty sure a few people *could* have predicted the corn silo going up in flames, considering this is one of the dangers of using a corn silo.

Should not underestimate the power if a dust explosion

Moral of the story: don’t hire contractors from cultures that cut corners because of corruption and pocketing construction budget money.

Thank you for the update, Underworld..!! Amazing compilation of structural failure videos..!! Scary stuff..!!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="335">5:35</a> popcorn for all .😂

Wow. I wonder why most of these stores are from India, Pakistan, Iran, Indonesia… and not from Germany, Switzerland or England?

I was amazed and thrilled by these incredible scenes; the pictures and video remarks are excellent.

Those roof trusses look like they were made out of soft wood timber, also don't see any gusset plates jointing all mebers. I suspect some of that may be partially culprit for the collapse with such low load.

Thank you for another good video

Wait. They already had a fire just like it before? Oh, dear.

Wow.. unbelievable captures😯

Thank you for the update, Underworld

That corn one in Indiana was wild. I did not expect to explode.

i think underworld has always been the best i always have watched every time i get home ! :)

This is excellent journalism 👍

This video is unintentionally funny. That apartment foundation collapse, and that city flag had me in stitches.

Seems the Taiwanese demolition company just hired casual day workers to demolish the building and really didn’t take any steps to mitigate the risk of collapse PS - Most of these disasters could have been avoided.

*These unbelievable scenes made me very impressed and excited, the images and video comments are very good. LIKE a lot, guys*

My man at 5 minutes was making industrial popcorn 😅

Surprised the fire dept would let those people just wander around inside the burning building. I guess things are different in other countries.

Those students shouldn't have used lead paint on the wall mural 🤔😉😄

Keep the camera on the action

Those workers on the last one did a FAST rappel!!!👍

Actually, a lot of people could have predicted that silo explosion, and I'm very surprised that the owners of the silo didn't. Grain silos explode at the slightest provocation. People who fill and empty them ought to be aware of this.

And the most majestic word is... no one injured.. 😢😢

Damn I never even heard about the collapsed roof and I am from Czech Republic.

That's what you get when you order your silo from Wish...

If I had to guess, the number one construction building failure looks like it to be a new indoor basketball court or a new school. Maybe someone should make out the blueprints better than they should be.

Wow! So gravity works everywhere!! Who knew ....

Nice chanell, good filming and editing. 👍

As a welder, you have to be extremely carful that, before you start work, there is nothing around that might catch fire if a spark land on it. Even then, you need to keep your eyes open incase you do start a fire. You can never be 100% sure nothing will burn in range of sparks. I've started a few small fires, but in those cases the fires would have burned out on their own even if I had failed to notice. There was only one thing I set on fire that suffered substantial damage, but it was especially problematic as it was attached to my body. It was my brand new prosthetic leg. I'd asked them to put the foam rubber cover on with Velcro, not glue, but they glued it by mistake. I was pretty shocked how intensely it burned, I found out later that they were using untreated foam rubber. It was meant to be treated with fire retardant, but in this case it was either mislabeled, or they just lied outright about it being treated. The prosthetist repaired the leg for free, then I went looking for a new prosthetist.

I am surprised that the Champlain Towers North from Surfside, FL, didn't make this list

Oops there goes gravity, oops there goes gravity!!!😂🤣😂🤣

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="343">5:43</a> welp, at least they will have a huge supply of ready to eat Popcorn for movie night now.

saya sangat menikmati ini.. terima kasih

This is why you dont build buildings out of wood, styrofoam and plaster...

Goes to show, America is not the only place where everybody has a camera in their hand.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="325">5:25</a> That is NOT how you make popcorn!

I remember walking into the science classroom in high school. The teacher was sitting behind his lab bench and he watched until we were all there, chatting with each other. A huge explosion, and a column of flame from a gallon paint can on the desk in front of him. Scared the crap out of us. Paint can, some corn starch, a candle and a hose through a hole in the can wall. One puff on the hose, Kaboom.

Bet that the first one was deliberated!

Ever seen exploding custard powder 😊

at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="609">10:09</a>, the man in black looks like he never missed a meal !

On number 8, must be lots of popcorn

ER, da oben braucht nur einen Stinkefinger um zu antworten Und nur ein schwarzes Loch

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="876">14:36</a> Literally every car there is a total loss... Probably even that van with a "few scratches" on the hood

Maintenance on the three storey apartments was lax, the photo clearly shows a tree growing on the roof.

Damn! Was that grain or rocket fuel!!!😮😮😮

“They knew a lot about corn. How to grow it and how to store it.” But they didn’t know, it’s equally as combustable as grain and the smallest spark can ignite it? Nice. Glad nobody got hurt but hopefully next time they stand further away. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="299">4:59</a>

Back in the 60s in the UK, grain dust and cork dust were used in experiments to research fire hazards caused by static in silos.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="161">2:41</a> So they knew the dome was a fire hazard, yet in 20 years they apparently did very little to address the issue.

Not trying to be mean but that's a whole hell of a lot of popcorn

Morale; get proper contractors

Pop corn. 😂

TY 👌

#3. I remember this kind of thing happening in New York City when some buildings were torn down, what likely happened with the hole where the blue tarp was. The foundation of the shop probably wasn't undermined, but the whole building was probably only standing because the removed building was the only thing holding it up. Note the disconnected/ piecemeal brick construction of at least the first floor and the likely added and much heavier-looking second floor.

I had to keep checking over my shoulder after watching those scary moments caught on camera. They felt too real

Anybody handling fine grains and dusts should be aware that they are basically fuel and oxygen mixture

Every cloud of dust (no matter what it is made of) is highly explosive. Because the amount of surface contact with air is enormous.

If a mosque needs renovation every 20 years it is a bad built

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="372">6:12</a> they were very lucky, grain dust is quite explosive and it could have easily kill them

At least it didnt have a plane crash into it 😮

About incident in Česká Třebová. 10 inches of snow is completely fine amount of snow for Czechia, according to our building codes the building must withstand way more than that! It was completely new sporting hall. It collapsed under minor snowfall, of course it was shady construction! By the way, there is 2nd video of it-but with the sound. And it is terrifying-the screeching of the wood, it is unbelievable! That is why they all run.

ERROR: <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="386">6:26</a> The town, 'Samut Sakkon', is in SOUTHERN, not Northern Thailand. (Thailand is located in the northern hemisphere)

If a corn dust cloud that size corn was enclosed in a mostly empty and structurally sound silo when it got ignited it would have literally detonated. It being out in the open saved them. I saw video of a silo explosion where you could see the shockwave flying through the air making clouds like in weapons testing footage or something.

You really know how to catch someone’s attention with you’re sentences 😄

Flammable organic dust from stuff like flour can cause immense explosions if it all ignites at once inside a structure. The corn fire was outdoors so that didn't happen.

Iow quality construction in Asia 😨😱

The building dry up maybe, not understand what. 😲😲🙂✨

"Cosmetic damage" on those cars crushed by the wall? HAHAHAHA! Most looked totaled to me!

you sure play a lot of videos you have already shown us here.. But except for that I really like this channel.

Uh, there's a bit of an error about the Mumbai Goa highway, no? It really doesn't look like an old viaduct failing but rather looks like the viaduct is currently being built with a launcher (not a crane), with the right side being completed but with its compression cables probably improperly or not yet tightened. And the left side simply being still in the assembly process, with all its segments not yet attached to each other. Numerous bridges and viaducts are built like this, and the launcher assembling the segments (a kind of giant metallic square gantry) normally takes support on the viaduct's piles only. Launcher gantries have mobile "feet" to transmit downward forces to the piles, they lift all viaduct segments of a given section between two piles with cable pulleys. Once all segments are aligned correctly, they are fused together with cement, and cables running through all segments are tightened to form a solid, compressed and strong block. That's how elevated transit lines and highways are built in China or Europe, like the viaduct of the Grand Paris Express. This technique is extremely efficient, fast, and sturdy. So here, they either loosely or plainly forgot to tighten the compression cables and tried to take support on the section that wasn't strengthened. Which led to the failure of the previously assembled section and the fall of the gantry.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="502">8:22</a> The Czech republic is in NORTHERN Europe. So, ten inches of snow is no big deal, and certainly NOT a valid excuse for a roof to collapse.

Benchmark for the world ISLAMIC

What about the Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse?

Raise your hand if you knew China was going to be on the list ! At least this time mother nature couldnt be blamed. How the heck does a concrete wall just fall over ? Smh

Timber!! 👋😲

All the firefighters were alternately safe. What does that mean? That's what you said.

10" of snow is not a lot at all. There must be some other reason for the roof collapse.

That pastel colored apartment building was hideous, it looked like a small jail or by the hour motel

Great video, but at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="602">10:02</a> that's Surat Thani Thailand, not Surat India =)

Just watch the first 22 seconds and you got all the meat and potatoes without all the extra time investment.

Is Samut Sakhon in *Northern* Thailand? The map shown at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="388">6:28</a> surely looks like it's in Southern Thailand.

Please learn the difference between a beam and a column.

Collection is appreciable HC ARORA VAISHALI GHAZIABAD UP INDIA

Why isn't the Champlain Towers collapse included? It just happened in June 2021 in Surfside, Florida.

No10 was really funny

*nother fire like this already happened? Oh man, that's not good.*

At. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="504">8:24</a> the gym collapsed. 15 inch of snow at the time. Unfortunately the roof was flat so the snow have NOWHERE to go. Snow can weight a lot.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="495">8:15</a> Almost certainly it had to be torn down. The building fell off its foundation, and though it may not look that damaged, all of the structural supports would have been badly damaged. On top of that, the building would need to be lifted back onto the foundation. It would be cheaper to knock it down and start again from scratch.

Um I think the dome should not be rebuilt it obviously doesn’t want too.

This video could be shortened by 2/3rd’s without all the talking. We just want to see the pictures.

Thank you for mentioning that Karachi is neglected, nobody in the country (apart from people of Karachi) accepts this fact. The mayor at the time was the most powerless mayor anywhere in the country.

I hope they didn't have to pay for that background music.
