The Golden Gate Bridge - THE landmark of San Francisco. An architectural masterpiece. With a span of one thousand two hundred and eighty meters, it held the record being the longest suspension bridge of the world for an impressive twenty-seven years. At two hundred and twenty-seven meters tall, it is more than huge. The Golden Gate Bridge is gigantic! Its construction was nothing less than a technical miracle. To build such a large bridge over the open sea, in the middle of an earthquake zone - that was an unimaginable risk. No wonder it became the most famous bridge in the world - a genuine legend. But what happens when this legend meets a modern-day icon?
The Golden Gate Bridge faces the Millau Viaduct. A bridge of superlatives in the hearth of France. With a height of three hundred and forty-three meters it is higher than the Eiffel Tower and with a length of two thousand four hundred and sixty meters longer than the Champs-Elysées. It is the tallest bridge in the world and yet appears graceful and almost weightless. Building this giant was only possible by state-of the-art technology and courageous engineers. A contest of superlatives! Two opponents. Three categories. And... lots of surprises. Which bridge has the most groundbreaking design? How difficult was it to build the gigantic structures? And, how do the bridges compete in practice?
In LEGENDS VS MODERN ICONS, the world’s latest engineering achievements, high-tech vehicles and superlative constructions compete against their legendary equivalents that are world famous and milestones in their own field. Can a modern luxury cruise ship outperform the famous Titanic? Is Wembley Stadium superior to the Colosseum? Each episode showcases one battle between a legend and its iconic modern equivalent.

This kind of engineering is amazing. Kids, ignore nasa and all the space garbage because that's made up nonsense. Literal pseudoscience.

I go for the Golden Gate Bridge any day considering back then they didn’t have the hightech equipment . And I can imagine how they have to work through the weather . I won’t be surprise if they got the idea of building the viaduct from the golden bridge

The San Francisco Bridge and the Millau Viaduct are two marvels but from a different time. Exaggerating a little (perhaps a lot) is like comparing the pyramid of Cheops and the Sistine Chapel.

I feel like I've been living under a rock, I'd never known about the viaduct, it's an amazing bridge, great design.

In November 2005 I visited the Millau Viaduct; from afar it looked like angels above the gorge ....I have never seen the Golden Gate Bridge , but it is a wonderful bridge.

@zsideswapper6718 6 ай бұрын

The point goes to the Golden Gate Bridge honestly. Even as a 1930s project it would be considered ridiculous to even build these days. So there is one sure thing. No equivalent of those will be achieved ever again in the near future.

The golden gate bridge wins hands down in my opinion. First, no computers. Second, no computers. Amazing engineering.

It’s funny to me how they put architects to comment on what is completely engineering work.

I was gonna say the same. Architects have nothing but a mere idea of what goes on engineering and building a bridge. No wonder their comments on what happened to the Tacoma bridge were completely inaccurate.

@@SP-kx4ii Yes, “do that for me engineer, cause I have no idea what I’m talking about.” Maybe that’s why the architect himself commented on the video: “it’s hard to imagine what the engineers went through”

Since I am French I have crossed the Millau viaduct several times, in good weather the view is fantastic and it is sometimes hard not to stop to admire one of the most beautiful and wild landscapes in Europe. On a cloudy day where the fog seems like cotton flakes, you have the impression of flying among the clouds. It's a gripping experience.
