Please take the time to view this 37:41 video. The Construction people who did this work are beyond amazing. They have built this wall so that tunneling is impossible. It is 7' in the ground in concrete with at least 3' of concrete inside the tubes 10' from the bottom and with a #8 carbon steel rebar inside the tube so that the tubes cannot be cut with a torch, saw, or any means, and there is an electronically monitored fiber optics cable 7' below the surface 40' from the wall that can detect and distinguish small animals, humans, cars, trucks, etc., and tunneling activity.
Don't miss this, it is encouraging to say the least. It demonstrates that the power of the American people working together is far more powerful than anything the government can do. The Corp of Engineers told these people that this 35% grade was an impossible task and that it could not be done. They did it in 17 days. Listen, and fire every one of those uncooperative Political bastards that do nothing but impede progress and cost us millions. Who the hell needs such A$$holes as we have in the District of Criminals representing us when all they do is waste their time wasting our time and money. I can't say it any more accurately and direct that that. It is the honest to God truth. 'nuff said!
Save for later, looking forward to watching after work.
It’s still just a mile of wall. According to POTUS, there should be 400 miles of wall done by the end of the year though I imaging a lot of that is replacing shoddy fence with wall. Still helps. If they can indeed get 400 miles done this year and Trump gets re-elected, we might actually have it all covered. The border is what, around 2000 miles but I don’t think all of it can be traversed. I don’t know how much wall will be needed when it’s all said and done.
imaging = imagine
The people of this country are flat out amazing. What they accomplished with few dollars and a lot of ingenuity is beyond anything you could imagine.
I hope President Trump Trump sees this
Did it for $8m vs $26m quoted, in17 days vs. 9 months quoted.
Buried fiber optic (7 feet deep) senses vibrations 40 feet around it - either side of and below fence. 6 second response time for cameras & ‘stuff’ to activate and notify.
One minute drive up 1200 feet to peak vs. 17 minutes pre-fence.
GET ‘ER DONE!
Lots of wind noise in the audio, unfortunately.
Turn down the volume and turn on the captions.. (CC)
Somebody needs to give these guys the contract!
Gonna have to give this the respect it deserves....and watch it on the widescreen TV later.
Thanks.
The We Build The Wall crews did it at a cost of $8 million.
Know what the government estimated it would cost to do it?
$40 million.
I’m only 5 minutes into it and I am blown away.
There are many more going up and they look just like the one Kolfage & co. built.
Quit at 35:35 wind noise makes it impossible to hear
There is no Can’t in American.
Is the section they had trouble with a couple days
ago and were told them to keep the gates open?
Amazing - Thanks for posting.
