​​​@@Unapologetically_human8349 I think you're misinterpreting this post badly. He's referring to security reasons in the sense that Africans having an easier access point into Europe would be a bad/harmful situation towards Europe.

What are the security reasons please?

In short. Fix your shit at home logically, logistically, and humanitarianly speaking. It's not fair for Europe or anyones home to suddenly get an influx of outsiders. Who let's be frank don't always hold humane views about key things. Like womens rights, religious freedoms, and also various other negative nitpicks you could use. However beyond that the infrastructure just isn't there either. You have any city, and especially a border city garner a massive influx of peoples who due to terrible circumstances have nothing. It strains everything in horrible ways. The fact of the matter is the world sucks, we have limited resources, and also logically why should X plave bend over backwards to accommodate people from X other place simply because the locals over there are fucking everything up? It quite literally isn't fair on either side when you think about it. So it's a compromise to do nothing, or to simply keep movement stagnant.

Sometimes we forget that not just European nations but the West in general have affected Africa as a continent. Stagnated development and political order not just by colonizing and plandering their natural resources but ensuring government instability. Putting aside seemingly backward ideologies/culture that the African tribes might have had/still have, the West simply does not want a sleeping giant to wake up because it would cut off their raw mineral supplies and influx of skilled labour that have to leave their homes and poor economies with lack of opportunities to go work abroad. This video addresses all geographical constraints and the narrator took his time to explain this. However, if we actually go into the real crux of the matter we open a can of worms that not only divides opinions bitterly but that people aren't willing to address as well.

@@wana.me003 Africa had a 60k year evolutionary head start on Europe, if it was to ever become a power house, it surely would've long before we ''colonizing and plandering'' Europeans showed up there

In areas affected by transform faults, a floating bridge with a raised middle part is a great option. This design can flex and adapt to the ground movements in these regions. It also allows cargo ships to pass underneath without needing a lot of vertical space. Tunnels are another choice, and they provide stability, especially when bridges moving around could be a problem.

And this would make a tunnel like between San Francisco and Oakland unwise as well.

There's a few issues, normally, you'd want to build a floating bridge if you've got a situation like that as they can be built to pivot and slip if you need to. But, you've got an issue there as it is part of the ocean, which isn't fatal, but it also has to allow for ships to enter and exit the Mediterranean which is also a bit of an issue. You'd need a tall section that's large enough and wide enough to allow ships to enter and exit the sea and then drop down far enough for a floating bridge that would be rising and falling with the tides. I'm sure it could be done, but, it would also be a pretty busy bridge due to the amount of traffic that likely would want to bypass the step of loading ships and ferries.

That was indeed what I was wondering during the whole video. He did not speak of the height of the pillars that would be needed to support such a bridge.

As a Buddhist, bring on the Padma Bridge.

Yeah this narrator completely disregarded one of the biggest challenges. The foundation of the bridge.

lmao. I was thinking the same exact thing. If there was a bridge, I have no doubt that it would be very similar to how the US-Mexico border crossings are configured (where it's much more tightly controlled, when traveling from South to North, as opposed to the opposite direction).

How selfish of them 😓

also , there is huge problem with african luck seekers all trying to get into europe.. most countries already feel flooded right now, as smartphones have made it a lot feasible to try crossing the Sahara , with plenty do , even now when that means afterwords risking their lives in way small boats to get across the Mediterranean.. how much worse would the influx get if they have the prospect of a fixed bridge they can dream of to balance of to try to get across? and africa is the only continent that still has way to rapid population growth, with way to few atractive option for their yougth.. and the comptetation alternative for going into europe is... the middle east... the place with most tensions, and in with during the Syria refugee crisis Soedi arabia hasn't been preperred to take in a single refugee ... putting all the pressure on Libanon, Trukey and europe ... millions there choose to risk it all and walk 2000 miles on foot to get into a european country to get assylum in ... politically the sad truth it thing would get much simpler is africa was a bit further away, not closer.. at least untill it's population growth flats out, in my country 1 in 4 todlers doesn't speak the countries language at home AT ALL ... the big lack of knowlegde of language drawn down our education level enormously, as teachers have to focus more and more an helping that language retard , witch mean lowering the bar constantly , and europe need good education, it only lives off innovation to stay wealthy.. the max the education system can take has been reaches in plenty of cities really putting down education levels.. so we are really at the tolerance level of how many outsiders we can welcome in our welfare systems... that's why policy becomes a bit two ways.. europe does not want to lose it's humanistic values and provide sanctum for asylum seekers, but at same time europe has become a WAY to attractive destination.. with the continent of with most asylum seekers come expecting to DOUBLE in population in the next 50 yrs.. this is about the worst time possible to try to get any political support for the construction of such a bridge !! a bridge is also less easy to close off then the eurotunnel, and the eurotunnel has to put much effort in combating stowaways , that HAVE already reached western Europe but are set on getting into the UK ...

Agree 100%

But there are some big mistakes in there. He says 100.000 Ships go through the Channel each year but over 300 oil tankers per Day. That makes no sence. And the evergreen ships right now are over 60m high already (not counting below sea level). And there are a lot more.

I was here to post this very point but one important correction: the BART tunnel is NOT a floating tunnel. It's a standard immersed tunnel design where the tunnel is sunk and laid on the sea/bay floor then connected together. It's just laid on relatively non-rigid ground and designed to flex (and the trains get a warning signal to stop to avoid derailment)...tho the prospect of having to hike back to land through a dark tube after an earthquake always scared me while riding it. See the Wikipedia entry on it for reference (don't dare link lest I be tagged as spam).

Also, I'm not that convinced it would have that much economic impact...social impact sure.. but Europe has a number of navigable rivers so you can ship things pretty far into the interior without needing a train and it's cheaper. The social impact is the bigger one.

Washington state has lost 2 of the 3 floating bridges to sinking over the decades. One of them is over saltwater, but the currents aren't as significant and it didn't need to be engineered to handle large container ships passing by either. It's probably the most immediatly possible choice, but the expense would make it completely unaffordable for the amount of capacity that it would have. It could be used, but most cargo would still have to go over air or sea. Most likely, a railroad bridge would be the only thing that could carry enough to make it worthwhile. And even that is probably not viable.

And for ancient countries also!

We have build a bridge 13 miles long across sea in Denmark.

This is why Brian has a bridge that's able to hijrolikly bend in the middle section only, and with this it would seem building the bridge would be possible but there's a few problems even if we built the bridge so it's high enough abouth sea level, and that the middle section of the bridge hijrolikly bends the same way that the one in Britain then add the amount of bouts that pass through the area between Point Marroqui, and Point Cires into the equation this would conservative the amount of bouts that are forced to go through the middle section of the bridge and considering that you're going to need to get the cars to stop before they get on the part of the bridge that hijrolikly bends then when the people on bouts are happy everyone in their cars on the bridge as mad and vise versa causing internal trade exspesaly with all countrys that are stuck on opusut sides of the black sea that rely on bout travel for almost all internal trade and even turkey will have trouble so until turkey, and other countries that most of the time depend on bout travel for international market exchange 💱 💱, businesses, and trade become at least 90% bout travel independent, and Britain relocates the location of their overseas navy base that's within the fusinity of the castle of tarifa that's close to Point Marroqui if those two requirements don't happen then Spane, Marko, and every country that relys on bout travel for international travel and trade more than by any other means of transportation besides by plain will refuse to help build the bridge, or even try to build the bridge themselves. 😅😅😅😅😅😅

To top it off Northern Africa is Muslim controlled territory. Morroco is a very old enemy of Spain. The people of Morroco had conquered Spain and southwestern France. France had the idea to expel them out of France very early on. Where as Spain didn't until about a couple of centuries later with the Spanish Inquisition. So I can see Spain wouldn't be very keen with the idea of building a link with their old enemy.

I don't think anyone would wanna pay for that

2 continental plates vying for supremacy. Only one can win while the tunnel loses.

Renewables require the destruction of ecosystems for the rare metals needed to make them, use nuclear instead.

A tunnel or a bridge both can be done yet haven't. PS we can lay under water cables for power and communications so that isn't an issue. There are communication cables between North America and Europe.

Tunnel would be more expensiv and is harder to build in terms of earthquake resitance. Dont get me wrong we have ways to make tunnels more resilient against earthquakes, but a tunnel would directly lay on the base (or in it depending on the kind of tunnel) of the Straight, earthquakes come from far beneath the upper layers of earth, but even that minor depth of 350m makes a huge difference in strength of the earthquake.

I fully admit that my knowledge is very United States centric so will only speak for here. With that said the US uses the MMS. Above is a link to the USGS as a source for my claim.

Exactly, There is no point to this bridge, no one in Europe would want this..

That's not entirely accurate. There was a MASSIVE sea where the Mediterranean Sea AND the Sahara Desert (whale bones found in the desert) is today. The opening, to the ocean was more likely at the other end (Red Sea).

@@michiganspencer6920that’s true. You can also find sea fossils even in hills and mountains relatively close to the coast so the sea level in the Mediterranean coast of Spain was much higher all over.

That's cool.

@@mendistudio Actually it's the other way around. Those hills and mountains used be much lower - even part of the sea floor. The mountains of Europe and North Africa were, for the most part, created by the collision between the continental plates of Africa and Europe. Those two plates are still crashing together and eventually the Mediterranean will be completely plowed under.

It’s factually incorrect it can’t be done.

Don't need it to go that deep. Just make it akin to Oil Platforms/Rigs. They float pretty easily.

probably out of ignorance, but any European knows the reason, we surely do not want any bridge here and if we could secure the border better it would certainly be an improvement.

Exactly. An “island” imagines something dropped in a river or bay, when it’s really like trying to drop an island anywhere in the 1200’ deep Atlantic Ocean. Better luck swimming the Atlantic. Then, there’s the shipping hazard of dropping an island in the strait, also similar to hazard dropping an island middle Atlantic.

And it would also make Eurabia a more likely thing to happen.

Please disregard this request.

I was wondering when someone would spot the Obvious :)

Clearly, they were using an Australian map. /jk

Surely there are bridges across subduction zones in other parts of the world?

You could just make a floating bridge akin to Oil Rigs/Platforms. Its not what I would call reliable/safe, but... Its possible.

@seneca983 Well, I have looked a little, and could not find any. If you find one, then I would be interested to know about it.

@MrJinglejanglejingle Well, then that bridge would still have to open up to permit traffic into and out of the Strait. Meh. When people say bridge they mean a structure that is anchored to the ground or sea bottom, and that permits water traffic as well.

@@notsure1277 ...I'm sure when the layman or the fool thinks of a bridge, they think only of an anchored structure, but things have evolved. And no, it really wouldn't need to open up anything. Most Oil Rigs/Platforms sit far above the waves. More than enough room for the majority, if not all, ships to pass beneath without fuss.

Migration 99.99% why, all the rest is a nice way to back it up with science lol. I have been to Europe and I know how the westerners feel about us...last thing they want is poor Africans crossing over to their countries. If we were as rich or richer than them, you bet they would be the ones asking for this to sell their goods, but right now they want nothing to do with us

My thoughts exactly

Wow thank you so much!!

There are additional problems with the potential 8 mile bridge. One, amongst others, are the separately shifting tetonic plates.

I say not even technical difficulties. If Africa was full of Japanese scientists, or German engineers, there would have been a 6 lane highway since the 50s.

@@angelg2638 I mean, when Africa has anything of value to offer the rest of the world beyond minerals, that bridge might matter. Right now, all that matters that comes out of Africa is just monetary value via massed shipping.
