Did anyone see the other windmill burning ???? Kinda hard to miss !!!!

The circles it’s making is kind of mesmerizing

It's not "papa" elephant. Bulls are solitary beasts and not part of the herd. They are a matriarchal society with the bulls only in attendance for breeding purposes. The cows with calves are, on average, far more dangerous than a bull except when he is in musth.

4:27 two signs on the camera's side of the railroad tracks say "No Trucks Over Railroad Tracks" and "$1000 Fine". Wow, crossing the tracks there must be part of one heck of a shortcut.

Geez! The dude filming the windmill was very good at keep his camera on the action...... until the critical moment when it finally fell apart!!! What the actual????

why not mention the other windmill on fire in the same picture

Naww Papa elephants teeth 😢 Protecting his family’s privacy Thank you Kudos on the fact checking also Great content always on Underworld ✌️

Awesome video Also I live in Ketchikan and remember that clip of that family's porch being taken away. Our storms can get pretty insane =>

I don't think I'd be standing there filming my deck being washed away by the waves knowing that my home could be next.

I’m glad the narrator keeps telling us what we’ve just been watching, because I would never know otherwise.

The wind turbine turned too fast because of high winds. They actually have a brake on them to disable spinning in high winds, as you can see the others are not turning. This one the brake didn't work, the turbine turned too fast, overheating the oil in the electric generator, causing it to burst into flames. This is precisely why they have brakes.

I like to learn and you do a pretty good job of showing random things to us. I liked as usual, but subbed as well. thanks for the knowledge.

Elephant tusks are actually teeth and on African elephants keep growing throughout their lives. The tusks grow from the root so if the tip is broken the tip won't reform. However if the root is undamaged the tusk can keep growing in length.

Love your narration of these wonderful & exciting videos, especially after the set up you stop the narration and we watch in silence! Very effective! Keep 'em comin', my man!!

I can't believe yelling at the flood didn't stop it.

That wind turbine made some huge smoke rings. It eventually resembles a Slinky.

I believe you'll find your 'Burning Windmill' is actually a burning Wind Turbine!

Question...what about the 2nd windmill burning in the background? Pretty strange.

Eventually a flaming piece crashed to the ground. How do you know where it landed? The cameraman didn’t bother to film that part😂😂

Did anyone else think about the "must go faster" scene from Jurassic Park when the elephant was chasing the truck

The crane accident... you can see the man dangling from the manlift has a safety harness on. Looks like he grabed the handrail in time and did not hang from the harness. Unlucky and lucky at the same time.

Never mind what caused the windmill to catch on fire, my question is what caused the tip of the blade to catch fire or worse why is there a second windmill burning 3 windmills down in the background?

The bridge in #8 is a Bailey Bridge- designed by the Brits for fast and mobile river crossings that could accommodate tanks and other heavy equipment. Made famous in the film- "A Bridge Too Far" about the failed operation Market-Garden to take Arnhem, cut off Antwerp and open a northern front into Germany.

That wind turbine is more like a turboprop engine than a wind turbine for the speed of its RPM.

The black smoke was coming out the wind blade because they are hollow the smoke was being sucked into the blade from the engine by centrifugal force ,as the air left the end of the blade a vacuum was created at the engine end ,and there's a whole science lesson right there,

The burning windmill was awesome and scary 😟🤩

Sad the elephant broke his tusk😥

Cameraman fail on the windmill. Totally missed the money shot.

*@Underworld* 7:14 "Dock workers in Guatemala... learned how dangerous & unpredictable heavy machinery can be when a crane tipped over & almost took a man with it" I dont want to make you think Im attacking you. I appreciate your choice of focus (regularly occuring dangers & catastrophes worldwide) because it is educational & heightens public awareness. By equipping people with this knowledge, they will recognize signs of danger they wouldnt have noticed before, & avoid danger instead of getting killed. Thats a lifesaving work; a noble public service. So, I respect that. And your narrations are terrific- - dont ever change However, I would like to offer constructive criticism for your statement, above. Heavy equipment is anything but unpredictable. When I look at the video segment cited, I do not see equipment that is old or in disrepair. Even characterizing worn out or neglected machinery as being responsible- - had this been the case- - would be invalid, because that would be caused by irresponsible companies & company owners letting it fall into neglect. Anyway, the Leibherr shipping container moving machine (grey in color) cant be more than 5 years old. And the all-wheel-drive/ all-terrain crane (red in color) cant be more than 10 With a maximum lifting capacity of 60 tons, in the hands of a qualified crane operator who understands the weight of the crane against the weight of the counterweight & leverage involved, this red crane has more than enough lIfting capacity to remove a 15 ton countrweight from the grey Leibherr. Evidently these men are unlicensed & untrained through any kind of vocational school. It is unthinkable to any professional crane operator to have men on a manlift anywhere within the radius of a crane's work zone. NO EXCEPTIONS. And yes, I do understand their need to stabilize the counterweight like that, but you can see why load stabilizing & guidance is never to be done from a manlift. That makes as much sense as trying to alter the course of a super-freighter with a tiny tugboat. The forces involved with moving a 15 ton counterweight exceed that of a 4,000 to 6,000 lb manlift by far, esp with it extended 6 stories (60 feet) high En summatum this is simply untrained personnel mIsusing well maintained, fully functional machinery. What cranes, loads, & auxillary devices such as guidance rigging & secondary cranes in assisted lift cases do are very predictable & controllable in the right hands. Thats why construction projects are required to have at least one qualified engineer providing oversight at all times. And its why specialized personnel like crane operators, sky track, & forklift operators are trained & licensed

i like your always respectfull narration

Love your channel

Seems suspicious to me that two windmills catch fire at the same time.

At least the bearings in that windmill are in working order .

That WINDMILL was doing SMOKE SIGNALS!

Good job camera man turning the camera away just as the thing explodes. So glad we got to see everything but the best part hahah

(Flash food)Meanwhile, post10 upstream with a rake😆

Love from Pakistan ♥️♥️

It’s not papa elephant, it’s Momma and she is protecting her baby. Male elephants are kicked out of the herd once they reach maturity to prevent inbreeding. The one attacking is most likely the matriarch or her sister.

3:05 It’s amazing how many people in the US can’t read I saw 2 signs just from where the video was taken talking truck drivers not to use the crossing. Reminds me of another KZfaq page called 11foot 8 where trucks often come to grief at a railway bridge that’s not only sign posted but also has warning lights. The bridge has even been lifted twice and is now has a clearance of over 14 feet and even after all the publicity and accidents trucks are still trying to get under the bridge and still being wrecked.

Gee, that spinning windmill was so cool that I had to set playback speed at 25% to see it better!

The wind mill is cool as it spins black smoke.

ain't sure that's 60 feet, more like thirty but either way, i'm glad the guy had the strength to hang on and and haul himself back up.

Duuuuuuuud that first clip looked EXACTLY like Dante's Peak!!! When the bridge gets swept away.

The Semi truck getting hit by the train in Acworth is very close to me and it happens often! The view from the other side of the tracks is on bonehead truckers.

Goodmorning hope you guys have a blessed day

At 5:15 some Chinese person says "whoda-thunkit" in response to the landslide. At 10:20 the camera fall out of sight of the windmill tower fire right when it comes apart. EXCELLENT camera work!!

Brake failure is more likely the cause of that wind turbine speeding up and producing more electrical current than the system could handle hence the fire.

🍎😯I remember that!... Luckily just two blocks down from there the train goes over a bridge and you can pass underneath to get to the other side.😅🍎

To everyone calling the big spinning fans "WindMILLS" it's a wind turbine (ter-ben) A mill is a device that crushes grain, a wind mill is a mill that is powered by the wind. Turbine is a power generation device that spins a connected shaft to a generator and makes electricity. AC power is created in the generator from spinning magnets that require the shaft to spin at specific speeds to maintain a specific frequency. If it's a 4th generation (which it isn't) it can use the generator magnets to hold it in place as well as a physical break to hold the shaft like previous generation wind turbines. That's probably what caught on fire or it was all electric where the output bus (cable) got hot and burst into flames. Current (electric flow) heats the wire it goes through (electric loses) too much power, wrong frequency, or a damaged cable can cause a fire. Just a big power electrical engineer ranting on the internet.

Me a gustado mucho, la forma de hacer el video, 👍😊

Now that’s what I call blowing smoke rings!

You should do a before and after on a forest before loggers get to them. I mean wild forest and if you do any monocular plantations ment to be cut separate them into a different class please.

The bridge would be the best setting for a star wars boss fight.

Good content

the windmill is going wee weee wee weee

Love your content! Keep it going!

The elephant tusk broke after hitting the tourist truck, wow

7:42 The man almost fell bro

That bridge in Pakistan in the first clip wasn’t attached to the ground, so it was obvious it would get washed away by a torrent of water or anything else that came down the valley it crossed !

The first one looks more like a rock flood flow. These look like flowing water but are just flows of rock and rubble debris.

Are we not going to talk about the 2nd windmill on fire in background 😅

Train crossings should have emergency boxes nearby where a warning can be sent so that any trains coming can start braking before it’s beyond critical

6:32 - In case anyone else was also confused by this, it's actually Center for Disaster Philanthropy

elephant doing the t rex on a movie we all love

The burning windmill is interesting. But of 4 windmills, two are on fire. Seems like the narrator missed that..

Me I think a new deck would be nice.... Ocean. Let me clean that up for you....

I'm just here to watch the beautiful black spirals that wind turbines make when they burst into flames. Can't get enough of it.

Burning Fan Look Pretty. Like outdoor 3D Pyro-Spirograph!!

People who live in those homes need to see what a derailed train looks like. I sure wouldn't of been standing there.

Just wanted to mention that "Reuters" is pronounced "ROY-ters."

This guy explains what we've already watched! Why!!!

10:00 you can see another windmill on fire in the background

The more I watch these videos the more I realise how many vehicles get destroyed on tracks, whether that’s driver or vehicle error

At first the mudslide video appears to be shot in black and white until the homes with the colored roofs appear

WIND TURBINE....CHOOCHING OUT CARBON.....SHEEEEEESH...HOW IRONIC....

Yikes, the elephant sure showed them who's boss.

Georgia RR crossing. Notice what it says on the bottom part of the STOP sign. It's a $1,000 fine if you drive a truck over the RR crossing. The driver of this truck has a lot more to worry about besides the fine.

Well I'll tell you what, just as the title suggested, that deck disaster in Kechikan was truly UNBELIEVABLE. OMG, give us more of those mesmerizing moments please....don't.

The train vs semi truck collision around minute 4:00 - 5:00 the narration is wrong saying the SUV isn't going anywhere soon. It could easily turn around and go around the wreck. There is also a side road that runs parallel to the tracks. The SUV left the scene.

According to my calculations, this video is about 18 minutes instead of 17 minutes.

You gotta love that "clean energy" being produced by the flaming wind generator! 🤣

I guess the crane operator missed the one important day in physics class .

In the wind turbine segment ... Three towers down, there's another one on fire. Not as dramatic, but burning just the same.

Fire!

That elephant only stopped because his tusk broke.

There was a 2nd wind turbine on fire behind the 1st one in that clip.

For the windmill clip probably what happened is that the breaks probably got activated because it was going too fast and the heat generated by the friction of the breaks probably caused a fire to start

7:50 isn’t that a safety harness loop you see attached to the dangling guy hanging off the boom lift

How many people wake up in the morning thinking hey a bridge is going to come knocking on my door with a turn of water following. LOL.

Elephant broke his tusk you have a souvenir.

You wouldn't be worried if it was a "walk" or a "run" if Papa Elephant was chasing you...

Those 2 windmills burning up, sure look very eco friendly .

11:30 Why would any normal human being build a house on top of an eroding sea wall ? Sheer stupidity when you have 150+ years of history, showing heavy storms hitting that area. (not even gonna' mention the earthquakes ! )

Poor papa elephant probably wanted to call off the chase early, but had to keep "running" due to his tusks being stuck in the truck!

The first video is what filling up a roadcrack looks like for an ant

Papa elephants are around only while mating. The elephant chasing the truck is another Mama elephant.

You would think that a good truck driver would see the ridge over the tracks, at least in daylight, and not try to cross.

At 15:30 you mention "Papa elephant . . ." There are no adult male elephants in a herd. When they grow up they are banished and forced to go off on their own, only to return at mating times. Good narration, though.

I guess I'm the only one that noticed there's 2 windmills burning

Never heard of Ketchikan referred to as a city. I have always called it a town. Now Anchorage IS a city.
