ah, the blonde isn't for everyone. the director matches up styles and tone switching from color to black and white from traditional bio pick to scenes that feel ripped from a horror film gone strips bare the pop culture myth of marilyn monroe, but it's unclear if this version gets any closer to the real norma jean maria only exists on this and that said from me that is team up. next the documentary belinda, to look at the size of explosives i spoke. ah, how did she become an adult hitler's favorite director. and how did he become a forgotten film, pioneer, leanings, inch dog, and on ode funk, a documentary about love, seduction,

and power ice cold passion starts october 8th on d, w. i 1002 years ago the chinese made a discovery that changed the world explosives. for centuries they were used to kill and destroy. but explosives can do so much more. they save lives and take us to the stars with a thrill us and make room for something new. millions of tons of rock a mind every day with explosives. without them our worlds would be very different.

ah. ready ready ready ready gemini, this is the white giant, a rundown apartment block from the 1970s. ready ready ready the city council wants to have it demolished. ready ready martine hopeful will carry out this task. he's one of the most experienced to demolition experts in germany. it will be his last big project because he wants to hand over his company to only come motus. she's already started planning the demolition. now they want to inspect the 6 flo will rica, motus is afraid of heights and doesn't enjoy riding the elevator. but martin hopper

is having fun. oh, you can see that we're above the tree tones with the 20th floor is a great book. ours is once you get a magnificent view across this industrial landscape, with motus is glad they only need to go up to the 6th floor. that workers have already started to weaken parts of the wools. this will make it easier to bring down the white giant. yeah, 29 of those. some with salmon. him to some bow holes are still missing from home. let's see. was montana. yeah, he's documented and oh good was they want to blow up floors 6 and 7 and kind of you can imagine it's like a tree. i'm home, remember to follow tree honey to cut out of which is how in that's exactly what we'll do here. hang tight, we're blast out a which i forgot. so this is the high rise was, will blast out of which so falls down the even plan to have to,

which is one in the basement and one on the 6th floor. so the white giant collapses in on itself. the whole process should only take about 15 seconds. no single misty. it is not as it were. kindergarten, children who, rec, other kids towers of hawked people often ask a solution, don't you have a problem, but you're always destroying style shopping blocks that know we're making room for something new about them that makes us happy as well. decisions, revulsion, this demolition will shape or rica, marta says future korea because the industry is closely watching what's happening induced book children house in germany. deep in the forest lies a well hidden research site. here scientists develop explosives for military and civilian purposes. a so called hollow charge

designates in a bunker with enormous force 3211 blah. sting engineers all over the world. use hollow challenges to cup through steel. with tremendous pressure. the explosive liquified is its copper casing and drives the particles through the steel. this charge has forced to hold through 17 sick metal plates. the stars diaz, which plan dormant steel is or behave like a liquid. this being displaced by the explosion due to the high velocity of the particles emitted. it wasn't politically the liquid copper cut through steel like a knife. hollow charges are the best way to blow up stretches made of steel. in

the elaborate tree, the engineers can design explosives for almost any purpose. these gray blocks contain explosives mixed with alan minium powder. this creates a lot of pressure and is useful for blowing up buildings. a lot has happened since explosives were invented 1000 years ago. at that time, chinese researchers mixed so peter, sulphur and charcoal. the resulting black powder was 1st used for fireworks and later for warfare. black powder only detonated when its constrained. then it develops its explosive force and burns at 300 to 600 meters per 2nd. around 800 years later, the italian chemist, oscar neo. so guerrero invented nitroglycerin. it's an infernal liquid that already

contains all the ingredients for an explosive reaction. it's 4 times stronger than black powder, but very unstable and sensitive to impact. there were many serious accidents. so guerrero himself was injured so badly that he stopped his research. but some one else continued. alfred nobel, he wanted to use nitroglycerin in mining, but he paid a high price in 1860 for his brother, a male, and for others died in an explosion in the laboratory. legend hazards nobel finally finds a solution by chance. while in transport nitroglycerine leaks into a cushioning layer of grated diatoms. the resulting mushy substance is safe to handle. dynamite is invented, was a theme on painting. our systems don't have a few words. you contact my them with the lighter, we ok, that wouldn't work because the kinetic energy of the lighter wouldn't be enough.

people to be meters are explosive to the discussion admission. i mean it's you that makes them very slave. the so guns we don't ignite with firma lynette it's you, but with pressure, mid chemistry, and again, on a mid talk, modern explosives need a detonator that triggers the chemical reaction. this tube contains a multi stage explosive device. a glow wire ignites the trigger. this sets off a range of increasingly powerful charges until the explosive finally detonate. the headquarters of martine hop 1st company in eastern germany, or rica mattress and her boss have returned from the white giant induced book and now finalizing their plans. meanwhile, an engineer is cutting destination cords. these red tubes are filled with an explosive. they will need several 100 of these detonators for the white giant. they

marked down each charge with its number and position in a large table. you've got a minute, you're done. oh, okay, good martin hop fer pause over the demolition plan which still needs the approval from a structural engineer from dr. mill's which is confirmed a structural stability. suffering great assistance. zach was a household as well. yeah, this project was a huge challenge that we need to factor in a bunch of things all at once. these are starting with the crammed conditions. i my, the blood fired msm does. we only have limited space available off of who gone to the right of the white giant is an underground parking lot that must remain intact in front is the street hub for and matters have developed a bold plan. they want to fold the middle blocks 1st and then let the outer to tip

into the resulting gap about the explosive charges must not interfere with each other. additionally, the left block must also be folded, otherwise it would be too long for the gap. yesenia pessimistic doesn't, we're not pessimist months. we're always optimistic during the planning. oh, but you also have to keep your eyes open for problems and can you simply cannot leave things to chance during demolition, which we need to discuss everything in advance understand and we're thinking through voice thing. then we're able to bring down the building safely to spoke up . we go fuel to the, to drive to the company's explosives warehouse to pick up charges for a test blast. it's a missile defense bunker that's no longer in use. only few people know the location where we come, artists and martin hop for work quickly. the explosives stored here

contain nitrate, which causes headaches. and they still have a 4 and a half hour drive to do some work ahead of them there. they want to do blast tests on some walls of the white giant to make sure that the explosive charges really work. potsdam bothers bags, film studios with the aids b, r. o phonics, something's not working. the car should have made a spectacular jump. but the mechanism got stuck. power placing is a pyro technician who worked on the special effects in major production, such as game of thrones and die hard left. so special effects are the go to company for

a big bang. to day the team is working on a top secret production in which a car is supposed to explode yog. optically, the client is expected on said tomorrow, then tune all season song will shoot out the doors years old, not up. we have so called launch pods. here with the counterpart in the door, when i put a load of black powder in the launch pot and that was low, this door life a thick. she clenched. we also use explosives under the car. quite a big long list of the law to destroy anything or to create a shock way from the talk village. we had a bit of dust and then the viewer sees there's something happening with shallow locally the patio. it was hidden in the trunk is the compressed air control to make the car jump. a total of 17 different effects will create a perfect illusion. while his colleagues work on the car pricing prepares the explosives in his workshop. so yet the unreal dish

langston will ard on forbidden. so now i'm going to prepare the load will put onto the coddle. i'm fixing the detonation cold in the form of a snail fingered and forming a snicker here off the so as to get some. so the force will then be distributed across the surface. like for tyran, power pricing uses the same type of explosive code that will be used on the white giant. however, this code is my center, so nothing happens to the car. so i'm, it took me the lot on so the finished load that's going on the car to generate the blast wireless cycles. will the technicians mount compressed air hose with a funnel? what, which way do you want it, you never. this will create a large fireball inside the car. the front door is loaded with pollen because fine dust explodes spectacularly when ignited

pricing is pressed for time because he needs to finish a project for another film. he's prepping bamboo poles with small explosive charges that will create bullitt hells as infiltration. recall spring, not on these micro charges. i'll take one out of so called cylinder 6. looks pretty inconspicuous that they can find your bike. we're talking about 300 milligrams, his one except selina, this cylinder 6 is used to create large bullet. holes shrinks on branches, which day we have them in a range of sizes and in flashing and closing sourcing, this is what our disks look like. classes. this is the classic charge for body shop, sir, because the power of this tiny thing also is enough to rupture a club back to ta season. the liquid then worked his way through a piece of clothing, but it's weak enough not to hurt any want. is alice rock and look on how many

months of her lesson. small lead plates sit under the explosive challenges to protect the actors. the bamboo is not protected. on the contrary, i don't test it out in a band. the guys go here said the yoke in all. this is exactly what we wanted to happen. gauze we wanted to rip a large piece out of the bamboo. what and see materials in soft material? i her flying on me want to see this ripped open, that standing blindness tires. meanwhile, pricing's colleagues prepare the vehicle. tom teela puts the cardboard with the destination code under the car. next to it, he placed his 2 small metal containers with gas cartridges. they'll create fireballs to cover the hydronic ram that makes the car jump.

pricing will trigger the effects by remote control. the engineers are putting in the doors, but they won't shoot them out until tomorrow when the customer arrives. because with explosives you never know if you get a 2nd chance. are. 2 wrong with what they're allowed attention. this will be very loud. i'm counting down 3 law to ah, wong, go the shockwave under the car worked. the pollen exploded and the gas cartridges ignited . but the car didn't bounce. that when that wasn't enough in far from it. the technicians look at a video of the explosion. one shot one hit. if it had jumped it behind. absolutely. they only have until

tomorrow morning to figure out the problem. to are in western france. this is one of the largest granite quarries in the country. here engineers blast $6.00 to $7.00 times per month. the quarry provides hundreds of thousands of tons of rock and gravel for road and railway construction. the quality of the material is so good that it's used all over the country. 3 large dump trucks feeds a gigantic stone crusher. it can crack boulders up to one and a half meters in diameter. the crushed stones then fallen to a conveyor belts ready for further processing. however,

the blasting engineers into our have decided to try out a new approach to increase efficiency. guarantor santiago. mean the conf would read the blog if you execute to plaster, and as is the case here, the boxes to pick re duty of we have to break them up after through the stone crush . elsie or this is a mechanical device that costs much more than using explosives, direct lender expose e for direct m o t l he by now has developed a method to perfect blasting inquiries. first, he placed his market boards on the quarry edge. they serve as guides for the drone that's about to photograph the terrain. the aircraft delivers images from various angles. it flies a predefined course and photographs the edge of the quarry.

after about 5 minutes, the job is done. thanks very much, we welcome. using the images still, he bene calculates a 3 d model of the blasting zone, girlies yen cell policy, but more of the software is primarily used to design. the plasticity of the data from the drone allows us to accurately calculate the geometry of the fracture. the software also calculates how the pressure will spread daycare and where crocks are likely to form on day based off of that, you said, you mean we can optimally place the draw hall's food so that the energy is distributed as even the as possible. be shown the analogy, sort of bruno from placebo. the software calculates the exact distance between the bowl holes and the amount of explosives needed for each one. the operator on the drill rig receives the data on a usb stick. not only is the exact position importance,

but also the angle at which the holes drilled. the machine drives 17 meters deep into the granite. there needs to be 49 holes drilled by tomorrow morning. ready ready ready ready into spoke mat in hop fan and our re come out is worry about the white giant. they've already logged the detonators and challenges for the test blast into their system. now it's time to check the walls. to deal with this wall as we might have interfering. was it so by it was i'm going right. michelle julia? yes. like an improves the collapse does. this is off that doesn't matter. for now. i only want to focus on the black will kind of will blame you. we don't have any problems with move in. and here we'll have to talk with a planner about what we can change and where are your test blasts in this area. now, when you're here, the thirty's there,

the $35.00 would from all that start. the problem is that the middle blocks need to come down while the out to ones have to remain standing for a moment. the critical points of the joint walls between the blocks. if these walls collapse, when the middle blocks are demolished, the outer blocks could topple too soon and crash against each other. then debris would fly around uncontrollably. this must be avoided at all costs. that's why the blasting engineers and now conducting a test in the basement of the white giant. they have chosen walls that have to be destroyed before the blast anyway. so the building can collapse more easily. they're trying out 2 different methods in one spot. they place explosives directly against the wall and then cover them with sand. when ignited,

the charges should push against the sand and destroy the wall. in a 2nd location, they drill holes into the walls, which takes a long time. these holes. so then loaded with explosives, vista, it's important to see what happens when we demolish one wall. i know one because the other one must remain standing according to how we planned it except one fuse 2 tests for madison you miss martez, she'll take over i should we start and go ahead. let say 2nd classic. no i oh awesome. second ball signal ah,

attention, all posts all come back. 321 technician. when you bring this is complete. my problem is my shot. now comes the moment. if tracy with tension is mounting at the potsdam bobbers bags, film studios, how toys sing, and tom t la prepared the car. their client is already here. oh, to comes up to talk under other effect today. it's absolutely crucial. it all the effects we've planned love can happen at exactly the right time. we want to win the client's home and what's on demonstrate that this will be the scene. they'll get on the day of shooting. i and we talked until decline will say yes or not according to what's on yoda 9. luckily they found the faults in the air jagged yesterday. an

engineer had changed something for another project and hadn't changed it back. thus for these charges will shoot out the doors crossing quickly, prepares 6 black powder charges and installs them in the car. does clinton schwartz per line that goes into the black powder? put the igniter in, then close it. that's a finish charge. so it does really it's, i can kill ready as a lot of power even like this. you go to it, but i need more power and i want to move steel dos. alba is called me up holiday and i fear sky. so i'll start typing it as a function and it's a table. this charge will shoot out the trunk. to be on the safe side, the technicians attached a steel cable, so it doesn't fly too far. although black powder burns relatively slowly,

it develops a high pressure. everything is now ready. your oil rolling your line. right. so ons go ah. the pool table to help to find finding include our techniques were great. the client liked it. that's the important thing. after 4 seconds, even though we saw all our efforts produced great bizarre jeep and then that's it on done last us the scene will be the grand finale of the film. into all the preparations for the blast reached the final stretch. a special truck

quiz 10 tons of explosives has just arrived at the quarry. the engineers use a trick to make the transport safer. there are 2 separate tanks on the truck. the liquids inside only become explosive when they're mixed together. t as a banner and his software did the groundwork now blasting and ginny as you play more take sofa you see coming from the la. we'll see you lucy. yes, it is fun to press the button was a blast. as of course, the goal we're working towards it, but it's only a small party, so it only takes a 2nd and you've got a whole week of work goes into that one second focus i key so or motivation is not just this moment. i'm old. we really have to take care of all the stablish in a feel. first, the work has prepared the bull holes. the sate quite cylinders

a night trickle. i call a common explosive inquiries. such a charge can crumble a massive concrete wool. but here they only service boosters to ignite the liquid explosive that's now being filled into the bow holes. in m. i meant t as he been. now, we'll find out whether his software is superior to the experience of the local demolition experts. the explosive mixture on the truck is a rather slow burning explosive. that's because the engineers want to generate a uniformly high pressure in the rock, which will create many cracks and crush the granite wall. ah.

blasting engineers, you blame, gives the order to clear the area. ah. ready he will detonate the charge is by remote control from the top terrace of the quarry. ah, we owe $40000.00 tons of granite have come loose. that means 4 days of work for the excavators before they'll need new supplies. together with

a mining engineer, typically bene surveys the results. we got all got lou as it doesn't just come. so the results of the blast is as expected, the movement of the rock masses was well on the control. the chunks didn't fly further than twice the height of the demolition edge, which is how it should be. the edge is nice and straight on. the fragmentation is fairly homogenous, love are all in all a very good last illusion because most of them would you it's the triumph of technology over experience in the future. the corey operators will use t l. e. bernard software for every blast induced book the smoke has cleared martin hopper and ot come at his wants to see which lasting technique worked better. first, the charges that were covered with sams cannot exactly the wrong way round. the explosive challenges in the sand pile should have

torn a hole in the wall. instead, they only caused a few cracks. the wall on the other side however, should have remained intact. they go take a look. i was a does is does was we are is off on wound for years of you are so this is what we were afraid of. that the wall that was supposed to be destroyed hasn't crumbled from it. but the wall that was supposed to remain intact has crack names on it, or how to your play that endangers the collapse process on the felt it involves load or the direction of the for con basil. possibly. now they checked the wall with the bull, holes processed use it from the one key on this test. it destroyed the drilled wall and left the other one intact. b as in positive raj. that had wanted to be that were positively surprised. why we wouldn't have thought of the wall behind it would

remain so intact as well. but there are no cracks in it at all. if you look at it from the other side, there's nothing to see. one of the material, blue eyed exactly in the area with the whole soil cooler got on it. he's a, he's a how so the issue that we were facing with these walls has now been solved on starting in the roof quickly and now know how we have to adapt our technology and how to proceed. so it runs smoothly immigrants this means drilling even more holes. there's not much time left until the grand finale. about 300 kilometers further south in bavaria. tom clear developed safety systems for cars, pseudo colleague from ace to it like mid some old. i'm

a very good colleague of mine had a fatal accident in his vintage vehicle on a country road like this one road was well and he wrapped himself around the tree. seems to want the worst thing that can happen. channels on the old cars have no air bags and certainly nor side air back. so i thought to myself, we should do something to the if a tree comes from this side or the elbow bomb from this protection order has an air bag comes out. does was he objects and kinda dust on the other guy was come? tom clear is on his way to meet his team at a special test site for airbags. stop the engineers use high speed cameras to check how the airbag reacts. it has to fully inflate in just 5 hundredths of a 2nd. ah, the onboard computer in a modern car conducts a whole orchestra of airbags. there was

rekey, did it, you know, kind of as a collection has to detect. there's a crash and then asked to reunite and in flight the correct air back. so i only need the airbag on the right, so i need one. the driver side is the side air box or a cushion. although there are all kinds of airbags that can be deployed however, the life saver can also become a deadly danger. when was he forces us money? susie, you often see people putting their feet on the dashboard with all the large box. all them are well, far yoga. and of course everything that's placed back, it's ridiculously accelerated, didn't bring it all your bonds would break really bad injuries. it's always, it's not was putting your feet on that because it's cosy. jones always want reason, are you likely wouldn't survive established. so it's my suggestions are here willing to induce books. the white giant is nearing it, sends excavators the piling mounds of earth around the building to catch flying

debris. the basement flows have been dug out, said the explosive charges can flattened the high rise. martin hope fur reviews everything. he's nervous in the basement to engineers, the filling the last 4 holes. not yet. the challenge is don't, st. would get some detonating cord and a threading iron and put it in. come on, let's do something else. in the meantime. hopeful has wired up hundreds of electronic detonate. is that those and tried this? the id, the crucial thing is the idea. well, it's a unique number, every detonator has one lot when we've programmed each with a certain destination, tyson site with

a delay of up to 30 seconds. excellent. then gus is somebody that's unheard of and blasting technologies. i embody this as unique. so we're all excited for him or worry all, i don't know what to think at this point is, is move it will, you will see on trauma electronic detonate is a more accurate spit, also much more expensive than conventional ones. meanwhile, or rica motus is working on keeping track of everything so that these colorful pitches of the result of a few night shift. i sat here every evening until 12 she needs to double check 1000 positions on her list. but hope for now wants to inspect the 6th floor with her for ms. mottos, please come here, fatty, and i'll take care of everything else later. the sick slow will be blown out. there are hundreds of charges under the piles of sums.

what was as rupees with us? we don't like it shortly before gross was the ignition system, again conflict and i checked to see with all the detonators hooked up to the main cold doors with guns. and i can all go through it again with mr. norbert when no one else is in the building, even just us without plans double checking each floor again. well, come now just you know, to morrow morning be different. fagan, when that's when the excitement cost when counting i'll be fired out. ready ready 18 hours to go before the big blast. ready ready ready ready tom clia is now working on another project. he and his engineers, the trying to better protect pedestrians in the event. this struck by a car. and again they using explosives. the problem is there are lots of hot parts in the engine bay beneath the hoods. in

the event of a collision, pedestrians can seriously injure their heads. that's why i call manufacturers have developed a so called active heard sod. small explosive challenges, shoot up the hood during a crash. that's it. perfect. the hood shut up in a 100, so the 2nd blue ritz is probably luther and now the how it is after mileage. this is the best position for a pedestrian to fall on to it, and be protected from the hard components underneath the hood. doctor will dog. a sensor in the bumper detects whether the impact comes from a leg or from a sucka bowl. for example. it then ignites the explosives. everything happens so quickly that the hood is raised in time before the head hits the metal.

explosives are increasingly being used for safety systems. meanwhile, car manufacturers have even installed air bags between driver and passenger to prevent the 2 from colliding. first of all these vans any vicki vile, via mich brings off of the drive, middle explosives and cars are important. so because we can generate extreme speeds to achieve a certain m worthy insulin, these to be detected allows given the signal evaluated. and then an airbag, for example, has to be ignited or the hood has to come on. i need incredible speed or dial and high pressure and force get only explosives can do that. unrestricted manufacturers now even develop external airbags to protect cars from other cars. so there's more to come. ready ready ready in this book, the time has finally come. martine helps. i instructs the security guards. as one goes young, it's possible that the building tips the wrong way that can happen when you and it

can't be ruled out. 100 percent failed. the 2nd dangerous that we generate vibrations or firstly through the blast itself, but also through the collapse of the building. schultz, that's over $40000.00 tons of concrete that will come down that don't, that will rattle the ground a bin. okay, you'll notice that note as well and something could fall from the building due to the vibration house. please think about your safety and it was a shot it, they haven't even laid the main ignition cable yet was bomb. it was we have to do that now with with michelle right now. what huh. with my, with her 2 years now, the 2 engineers from rica matches his team need to quickly run up to the 20th floor . if a neighboring high rise and set up the master control, they chose this location because it offers the best overview the convert of can below the ignition court up to lawson. yes. despite have fear

of heights. motus would also like to be up that to press the button, but hope for once, they're on the ground with him. he's worried that she wouldn't make it down in time if something goes wrong. charge the house line with the most charged. how's line obama? the water fountains captured the dust. ferguson mission, leisure. okay. to fire crackers, the settle beforehand to startle. pigeon said they don't get buried under the rubble.

marcin hope says last high rise is history hall? ma ma. let's take a look at what happened was swindle bazillion. the engineers check for collateral damage. i'm unsung out. he's not met in the beginning. i was counting the seconds. if the time delay i did, then when everything was in motion, it was just that was the the implosion that was just ah, that was brilliant. yet. there was a moment of shock because the rights block remained standing for

a very long time. but the additional explosive charge that was meant to fold it, gave it to its final impulse. the guns entrepreneur was fine with all the tension has melted away. yes, we just overjoyed that everything worked out the way we planned it over weeks and months ago. all that work has paid off. job tied comma. congratulations, workforce. for nothing broke except the building was the has big. want to go take a look. with the white giant collapsed as planned and didn't cause any collateral damage or rica mattress and

her young team of engineers could not have wished for. a better start martine hope for can safely hand over his company. and when the rubble has been cleared, a green park will replace the white giant. ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready a, a beginning of a story that moves us and takes us along for the ride. it's own about the perspective culture

information. this is d w. d w, made from mines. oh hello guys. this is the 77 percent. the platform with issues and share ideas. you know, on this channel we are not afraid to young people clearly have the solution. the future, you know, 277 percent every weekend on d w ah

ah ah, ah, this is d w muse, live from berlin. explosions in the baltic sea then leaks from the gas pipelines connecting russia and germany. denmark says it was deliberate and european, and us leaders asked whether this was russian sabotaged. also on the program. moscow claims it so called referendums in occupied ukraine.
