Hoover Dam Tube

@MarvinSanti "They poured in the concrete in segments becase otherwise it would've taken aprox. 100 years for the inner concrete to dry." Do you mean cure? Why would you want the concrete of a dam to dry?

Well if YOU had to hold back a lake you'd probably be big n' fat also lol.

he hehe he Is this a ''god dam'' ? he hehehe he

I saw that when we went there lol

Ahhh looks like it's growing by itself!

making a video like this fun, easy, and cool with the "Life Camera - become Noah!" iPhone app released yesterday!

and you can't spell there

Now thats how you build something,no breaks!

They poured in the concrete in segments becase otherwise it would've taken aprox. 100 years for the inner concrete to dry.

correct!

i live their

On TV, one of the dam's supervisors said some of the concrete near the bottom of the dam hasn't even cured yet even after all these decades.. They built the hell out of that thing.

no, we are gods.

mmmm crackers!

That's where they keep the emergency crackers in case of national starvation..also serves to absorb the water in case the dam cracks..

some parts are but not the entire dam, it would waste the use of being a dam, it needs to be a solid mass to be able to withstand millions of kubic gallons of water

one of the geat wonders of the modern world

Frank Crowe was one of my childhood heroes when i learned about his work on this project. I passed over the dam recently and i believe his home from the construction era still exists in Boulder City, NV

One year ahead of schedule and two million dollars under budget!

This project is designed by a civil engineer named Frank Crowe which died on 1946. =(

it was originally called the boulder dam.

April 20, 1931 -- March 1, 1936

Is a nice video. I just wonder how long did it take to build this.

I never new there was a time-laps video of this. Cool!

That's cool.
