Warning: title says “Salang Tunnel Fire,” but this is a misnomer. This is a podcast about goats and goat-related technologies.
...and it is AMAZING. :) #moregoatcontent
“I mean, I’ve been copying it from the previous episode every time.” I literally spit drink on my desk at work.
These podcasts increased in quality 1000% once you gave Alice the sound board.
I'm so proud of alice for her choice of verb number rn. The actual vine goes "Road work ahead. Well, I sure hope it does." The number of `does` is singular, but the number of `work` is plural. For the verbs to agree, alice gets it right. "I sure hope it do."

One of the weirder moments of my engineering career came when I went on a pre-bid walk of the Queens-Midtown Tunnel in NYC for a major repair/upgrade job. We actually went into the ventilation passageways which are about 7 feet tall and as wide as the tunnel.
It was explained to us that if a vehicle fire were to occur the fan system would switch to full power mode to attempt to force out the smoke. What this meant for any workers in the vents at the time is that they would be exposed to sustained 150+ mph wind as the system pulls 3 million cfm and completely cycles the tunnel air every 90 seconds.
The MTA official leading the walk-through said they realized this would almost certainly be fatal to any workers in the vents at the time, but the MTA deemed it an acceptable loss compared to an uncontrolled tunnel fire.
Tunneling and underground contractors are a rather crazy bunch especially the NYC Sandhogs who gave us the term "a man a mile" for every mile of underground tunnel constructed in NYC there was an average of one worker fatality.
Gotta get oxygen to that fire! 🔥
Wasn't this exact thing put into a Safety Third?
@@xmlthegreat it was indeed. I did eventually email this story in to NTYP, and it went into the ghost ships episode.
I usually listen to these while I'm at work. pushing a broom around for 8 hours maybe even 12. I actually like the 2 hours of uninterrupted content. Pls reconsider splitting the 2 hour podcasts into parts
YES I really like the long uninterrupted shit, even though CZcams seems to push for short videos with high "viewer engagement"
It's weird when creators say "I'm sure you're sick of the long content" when fans always want longer content. Maybe the engagement numbers give a different picture or something. But I'd personally be totally happy with a 2.5 hour episode.
People who insist on not having ads in their CZcams are heroes.
I fix things and often have to wait and watch for unknown times, only sometimes having to stop and change something (for many hours on long ones)... this podcast keeps those fun!
@@helloofthebeach it's because most people who come to CZcams are browsing, not putting it on in the background

AcKshUalLy, Finland did not use the same gauge as Soviet Union. As Finland used to be part of the Russian Empire, it uses the original imperial gauge (defined as 1524mm) while Soviet Union redefined the russian gauge to be 1520mm. It's all mostly interoperable though.

bhopal disaster: 2 parts, this episode: also 2 parts. me: *oh no*
There's no window AC on post Soviet buildings because the windows don't just slide up, which makes it really awkward to mount them into the actual window.
Also that trolleybus pic is clearly in czechoslovakia. You thought we wouldn't notice, but we did.
First of all: Soviet and post-Soviet buildings' windows don't slide up because pivot windows are most widespread in Russia and always were. Second: post-Soviet buildings are different and can be classified into 2-4 groups. At this moment there are modern day fancy high-rise buildings for middle class, which have smth like "mini-balcony" for AC, but windows still hang on hinges (More specifically: "tilt and turn" scheme).
It's either Czech or Slovakia. (Although I fuck this up constantly too because my Nana was from Czechoslovakia, which is now obviously two different countries and not even we know which country she would now be considered from lmao)
@@effluviah7544 it's definitely in Czechia, as the sign in the background says jídelna, which is Czech for eatery, slovak version would be jedáleň. Either way the bus in the front is a really old Škoda that wouldn't have been in use after the country split in two.
@@krpajda Thanks for clarifying for me, much appreciated! I've visited before but wouldn't have known these details.
My favorite part of Justin giving the goat a blowoff valve is the goat turbocharger that it implies.
56:52 Okay sorry for the nitpick but the Chukchi are not Sámi, two different indigenous groups.
One in Europe, another one in Far East in Kamchatka. Veeeery far apart
They're more like the Aleuts in Alaska on the other side of the Bering strait. And they're the subject of Soviet dehumanizing jokes because they were fighting Russian colonization well into the 80s with armed revolts. They never surrendered so they became subject of racist Soviet humor.
My minor nitpick is that the "graveyard of empires" bit about Afghanistan is really overplayed. Multiple empires did just fine ruling parts of Afghanistan and some empires even emerged from Afghanistan.
@@CraftsmanOfAwsomenes 1st: they only ruled PARTS of Afghanistan
2nd: they didn't really rule them so much as they said "pay your taxes and we'll leave you alone"
Any time they overreached Afghanistan would immediately rebel and the Empire would usually collapse anyway, so I think it still works
It's funny listening to this now like 3 years later after WTYP has uploaded like 4 3 hour long episodes in a row, hearing Justin complain about uploading 2 hour podcasts and that "we're probably sick of listening to them"
Oooooh you cannot imagine my glee when I saw 3 hours of why America's railways are a joke!
I would like to listen to Justin rant about the people mover.
What's it called?
MONORAIL!!!...!!
Same. I am from Metro Detroit and I want to hear this lol. From my understanding, the worst thing about it too, is it's not bidirectional!
@@TriegaDN That's not so much the problem as it only covers a very limited area of downtown and doesn't connect to any other mass transit.
@@TriegaDN Bigmoodenergy mentioned people movers in her streetcar video, and she made this very point (about how one-directional loops are a terrible idea).

"unlike trains and canal boats, cars crash into each other"
*Thinks about the monorail crash*
Monorail crash? How about a high-speed train crash in China? Or the time two freight trains crashed into each other in Canada? (Those two happened because of faulty signalling lights)
Whatever, cars are still the worse. Car bads, trains, canal boats, and planes good still stands.

23:33 my great grandmother is 98 yrs old. She told me during my 5th grade history report I had to write about her that she never took a driving test. In the middle of nowhere Arkansas she just went to town one day around 17 and got one. Never tested, always taken in good faith from that original 1940 era license. Good news!! She stopped driving this year. Instead her “younger” sister of 92 is driving them to church on Sunday. But up until 2022 she was street legal baby. 🇺🇸
I for one would be in favor of a bonus episode on the steam locomotive. For as mechanically ingenius and surprisingly rugged as they are (a steam engine can take a LOT of punishment and neglect and still keep going), it is fascinating the number of ways they can go wrong and kill you without warning.
The thing you were mentioning before about closing the firebox when entering a tunnel is actually what's called "fatal blowback". Basically, when the loco enters the tunnel, it forces a burst of air back down the chimney, up the firetubes through the boiler (taking all the smoke and hot flue gases with it, btw), into the firebox and into your face. So basically you forget to close the firehole door and the dampers (hatches in the bottom of the firebox that let air in from underneath so the fire burns even hotter), seconds later the whole cab is engulfed in a plume of fire that injures or kills the crew. This can happen elsewhere, like when passing under road bridges or even in places with particularly high winds, but tunnels are the worst.
As for the stopping in a tunnel thing, one event worth noting related to this is the Balvano Train Disaster of 1944. Cliffnotes version: Italian mixed freight/passenger train carrying an estimated 600-700 people, most of them stowaways who couldn't afford a ticket or travel visa, stalled on a steep grade in a tunnel because the train was overloaded and the coal was shit. While trying to get the train moving again the tunnel filled with smoke and about 517 people on the train inside the tunnel all died of carbon monoxide poisoning, most suffocating in their sleep. This is why a few railways like the Southern Pacific and the Italian State Railways experimented with "cab-forward locomotives", basically turning the steam loco backward so the cab is at the front, and to fuel it they either stuck a coal bunker on the cab roof (for the Italians) or converted to pulverized coal dust (on a few German engines) or fuel oil (for the Americans) that didn't require the fireman to physically move the fuel into the fire, he could just move a lever to control the flow.
Finally, while we all know what happens when a steam loco has too little water (boiler explosion, see Gettysburg Railroad explosion of 1995), it's also dangerous for a steam engine to have too much water in the boiler. Then all manner of fun shit can happen, from a water hammer forming in the main steam line to punch through the first bend it comes to, to water compressing in the cylinder and blowing the cylinder head off and shattering the piston, to the loco basically vomiting as a geyser of boiling water mixed with soot and flue gases shoots out the chimney and inevitably soaks the stationmaster's new car (true story from Rhys Davies of Angry Welshman Productions)
I like 2 hour episodes and dislike 2 part episodes
What are you, a commie? /s
Ditto
No reason to delay releasing episodes a week. This isn't game of thrones.
@@schnoodle3 as someone who does video and audio editing, the difference is editing 2 hours worth of footage in time to release the whole thing, and just editing 1 hour worth of footage in time to release the first part and having another week to edit the second part.

I'm not sick of two part podcasts. What I am sick of is waiting a week in between. I'm also not sick of two hour podcasts either.
I had a friend in high school whose father was an engineer with one of the architectural firms involved with the Detroit People Mover. His firm requested, actually insisted, that they not be listed on the dedication plaque. Sort of an Alan Smithee.

I'd prefer episodes to be all in one part even if they are 3-4 hours long. Cutting them up means I forget what happened in part 1.

Sick of listening to two hours? I have your podcast as a endless loop 'cause I enjoy it just that much...
At 1:07:17 they brought up the tunnel.....which was when I remembered that this entire hour was just the *setup* to the disaster.
When I lived in Peru, I went on a bus trip to a town in the Andes. It was one of those double-decker buses and the road that went up the mountain was only one lane in each direction all the way through the mountains. So, if those big buses would encounter slower traffic, they'd pass on the other side of the road. They were allowed to pass anywhere along that road that they wanted to do so. It was a pretty regular occurrence to find that your bus was heading at a pretty high speed directly towards another bus but they would somehow manage to miss one another. I will say that the buses in every place I went in Peru were pretty awesome because all you had to do was go to one of the streets where the bus ran and flag them down. Most buses were vans that had more seats added to them so, instead of having one big bus slowly taking you along the route, they had lots of little vans that got you there really fast because they would zip in and out of traffic. They would have one person whose only job was to drive and another person taking fares so that they didn't spend a lot of time taking fares while they were stopped. You also would only have to pay a small amount if you were only going part of the route and they'd even take you a few blocks without charging you sometimes. Usually you could get a good distance across the city of Lima for what was then the equivalent of 33 cents in US money. It sure beats the hell out of any bus service I've been on in Southern California.
imagine light rail that connects to hanging power lines but it's just goats and the power lines are salt licks that keep the goats going as long as they're connected
don't put engineering in my jokes podcast! Rabble rabble. It distracts from the humor. I'm just trying to laugh, not learn!
These people proved that jokes and engineering can go together.
Stop putting video games in my politics
@@MrJohndoakes They do seem to bridge that gap just like the Tacoma Narrows.
At this point I don't even know which of these are serious and which are not. Because it sure makes a good meme.
I actually dont mind the 2 hour podcasts.
An episode about the Caldecott Tunnel fire would be really cool and a great chance to dunk on the west coast
I much prefer the two hours every couple of weeks rather than splitting episodes in half (ill have forgotten most of the first half and have to rewatch it anyway).
I don’t know anything about uploading YT videos, though.
Do whatever is best for you.
Does "diesel" still count as a loanword if it's just somebody's name?
Also, as a Canadian it's nice to hear that our rail system is impossibly outmatched by the only country with *more* ground to cover than us.
More like "Dizel" is probably what Alice meant. "Мьі с Иваном Ильичем работали на дизеле. Я мудак, и он мудак. У нас дизель спиздили..." - V. Pelevin.
I actually love having the full podcast in one sitting, please reconsider splitting them up.
I never thought I needed a goat podcast this badly.
This Justin Inposproduction guy seems pretty on the ball. Should look into getting his own show.
This was highly entertaining to listen to; the first Soviet Drop got me pretty good. Looking forward to part two!
48:40 Towards the second generation of mass-housing (though to some extent present even in the first) was a provision of climatic regions whose standard designs were adapted. In the case of the Central Asian republics -- and probably applied to Afghanistan, and applied to designs exported to Cuba -- the temperature question was addressed in a number of ways, the most prominent which was the provision of additional balconies, larger balconies, a higher floor height and ceiling height, as well as the provision of exterior panels fitted to the balconies, to increase the amount of façade that was shaded.
These climatic zones variation increased in the late 1960's and the 1970's revision of the construction standards and regulations (SNiP 1971). The development of typification of designs for the warm regions was located at the Tashkent Institute for Experimental Design, which, along with developing its own serial types, was also responsible for modifying "all-union" series to adapt them to local conditions. In the latter years of the Soviet Union, this produced a peculiar variability: namely that, the standards of housing in the central asian republics in some ways had much higher specification than elsewhere; for demographic reasons, the sizes of flats were much larger (including upwards 120 square metre, 6-room flats, such as the Series BTS block of the late 1980's in Tashkent), the number of flats per landing were fewer, the balcony spaces were significantly more generous, and so on. There was very little air-conditioning, though the design intention was, that when this would become feasible, it was to be provided (but this, as with the idea of putting food vending machines in the ground floors of new blocks in the late 1980's, never came to be realised).
Speaking of racist chukcha jokes... (Retelling for educational purposes to demonstrate dynamics of Soviet racism. Please see our comment about the russian supremacist origin of these jokes before banning.)
Chuckcha guy gets issues a very large flat. Moves in and shows the neighboor his setup. "Here in the livingroom I have the tundra for hunting. Here in the bedroom I have tundra for fishing. Here in the kitchen I have tundra for reindeer grazing. And here in the restroom is my yurt where I live." The neighbor asks, "Well, if you sleep in the restroom, where do you go to to the toilet?" The chuckcha answers, "Why, I go outside to the tundra!"
An informative comment that should have got more likes and replies! Soviet mass housing was so impressive.
I just realized you guys haven't done Frank Lloyd Wright's career yet.
For example: Fallingwater.
- The project was a few hundred percent over budget, of course.
- The now-iconic color scheme was actually a concession to the client. The "visionary architect" would have preferred a gaudy gold leaf.
- The skylights leaked, and the waterfall caused mildew everywhere.
- The architect despised engineers, so the structural design of the famous cantilevers (and possibly the foundation... I'm unclear on that) was inadequate on a very basic level, and the structure underwent gradual failure for decades until it was finally repaired because famous.
- Thought to have inspired the title of an Ayn Rand novel (which of course was about an under-appreciated diva architect who was just too brilliant to be understood by mere mortals).
And somehow this building goes on to be viewed as his masterpiece while solidifying his legacy as the only architect most Americans can identify by name. Talk about failing up. There was another high-profile project of his that was a very near miss for collapse.

I miss the line where Justin said that this engineering podcast is a disaster in and of itself. It really fit, especially this time
You guys joke but my home defense car bomb will protect me and my family.
I for one would absolutely love to watch a 2 hour podcast (even 3) each week. Load up the content yay! This is the only podcast I watch the video of thanks for making a good podcast
Thanks guys for making me laugh for the first time for literally forever
Justin you are tops bro. Pure podcasting praxis. As for tunnels - I am weird & love them. Used to explore them as a kid - finding an abandoned branch line of the Glasgow underground as a boy was one of the signature adventures of my lifetime.
I actually like the long episodes but I appreciate your desire to manage your time more efficiently.
Suggestion: It might make sense to do "The god damn news" after you guys record the show and then upload it first separately (or edit it in to the start). I'm just thinking this would help it be more timely/relevant with current events. Anyway keep up the great work and thanks all for supporting the important protests!
When I lived in Peru, people improvised to get all kinds of different things to work. I did see it with any weapons because I only ever saw police officers with their big automatic rifles, but I'd see it with all kinds of other things. They would improvise using things that people from the US throw away without even thinking about it. You only see that level of improvisation in the US among homeless people and sometimes people who live under a roof but are still very poor. I have used a lot of what I learned when I lived in Peru now that I'm extremely poor now and I've also kept many things together with some combination of duct tape, rope, bungee cords/nets, and wire.
A shit ton of tunnels in the north of Norway were mined by Soviet POWs during WW2, we gave them cutesy names like "the Death Tunnel"(not on official maps sadly) to commemorate how many of them died in the process. When the war ended the surviving Soviets built little memorials at the relevant sites which we(Norwegians) promptly destroyed.
I’m obsessed with the guy toting a tribal tattoo in the lower middle left of the first god dam news image, he is somehow burnt exactly along his shoulders in a perfect line, like he was motionless standing in a pool for so long he got horribly burnt.

If you want something fun for trains, take a look at the Guinness Brewery. They started out with a lift from the Old to the New brewery.. then just casually built a corkscrew railway between the layers instead as the lift took too long..
It's still there, so not a disaster, just one of those "Well, okay then" pieces of engineering!
Joke's on you, Roz, I'm going to listen to these two episodes back to back as if they're one episode.
i watched the first 1 minute of this when it got un-privated the first time and then refreshed for comments just to realize that by that action i made myself unable to listen to the episode. heck on u
I managed to watch 45 minutes or so still after finding out about the re-privatisiation of the video - before finally going to sleep. Had found out it had been re-privatised for edits by a reply notification by a Dylan Chouinard that showed the video was not available any more and continued watching it in the open tab. Will now forever have a nonworking link buried in my notifications.
Went up online again just after waking up again. Nice.

Roz, bless you for your SCTV appreciation.
Wow, we get part 2 next week? I thought next week was going to be the Tacoma Narrows Bridge disaster so we would have to wait 2 weeks.
I forgot about their anti-fish agenda. Glad to see it come back.
Not gonna lie really prefer the full episode, I love y'all work here but I'm not gonna lie it's really annoying to have to wait for part 2 I would much rather just have the two hour episode. That's my vote anyway but whatevs, shit's still dope.
just gotta say, the person in the middle of the pool in the blue bikini is wearing it well, and maybe they can get a matching blue ventilator tube if they need to be hospitalized with breathing difficulties.
Goat power strong! Also great to split this episode in two so we can have a quick episode about the Tacoma Narrows Disaster between them!
My commute used to involve driving through a tunnel twice each day. And it was at a grade. And curved.
A couple ghings on the Soviet rail network, among other things:
The gauge came about because the Czar hired engineers from the Southern US, which used 5-foot gauge at the time. The Soviets later rounded the 1524mm down to 1520mm for simplicity purposes. Finland still uses 1524, but the difference is so small it doesn't matter.
Also, the Chukchi man could not simply take a train to Moscow, as there is no rail connection to Chukotka. You'd have to fly to somewhere on either the Trans-Sib or Amur-Yakutsk Mainline to catch a train.
Oh, and the Chukchi are _not_ Sami. They are as far from the Sami as you can get while still being in Russia. They live across the Bering Strait from Alaska
My grandfather, who was an aviation pioneer and worked for Pan-Am, spent 12 years in Afghanistan. He spent four years in Kandahar setting up their new airline - Ariana, buying planes and training pilots. He then spent eight years teaching at the university in Kabul teaching aviation a the University. He used to say that the Afghans all smoke American cigarettes, but they light them with Russian matches.
Also, he was the personal chef to the king. I remember that the royal family visited his home in the U.S. I was a kid and didn't know what that meant, so I asked my dad "what are Afghans?" He told me they were dogs.
"Never stop in a tunnel"
Someone should have told Henry that when it rained

I listen to hardcore history, a 2 hour podcast is short :V
A person of culture, I see. :)
On that image of the car tunnel, I'm quite certain that door goes directly to the other side of the tunnel where traffic drives in the opposite direction.
well, if that's the same one as built by the soviet military, I know at least one of the people in charge of building this tunnel...
he later ended up a landlord in one of the coastal neighborhoods of Tel-Aviv, before returning to his home on the Volga in the Mid-90s...
Should've stayed in Tel Aviv...
Please stop cutting episodes in half! It makes the goddamn news even more out of date when they finally go up, and gives those of us stuck depending on our podcast subscriptions to maintain our mental health in quarantine less to keep us occupied! At least if you're gonna cut them so damn short, upload two a week instead of just one!
Seriously though - "This podcast I love listening to the entire playlist of on repeat is too long" - said nobody ever.
Kabul is a beautiful city and I loved my time there, wish it had been longer. Warmest people ever and great fun to hang out with.
