Located on an artificial island in the middle of Osaka Bay, Kansai International Airport is not only one of the busiest airports in Japan, but also a true engineering marvel. The construction of this airport presented many challenges, from building what was at the time the worlds largest artificial island, to designing the airport to withstand earthquakes and typhoons common in the area.

Japan was up to this challenge because it's Japan! I respect their ability to say yes, not no.

Increíble engineering feat.

So many years ago Mayor Daily in Chicago planned to replace O'Hare airport with a brand new airport just one mile off the Chicago Loop in Lake Michigan. The new "island" would be built with the residue of Chicago's trash which would be formed into bricks measuring 40" x 20" x 20". Set in a large rectangle, then filled with sand pumped in from surrounding lake bottom. Eventually the project stalled, amid many complaints of fraud, mismanagement, etc.

This is something extraordinary !

This is an engineering marvel.

Many power plants evaporate water into steam that spins the turbines. That water is distilled. Why aren’t we using that water in combined power and water plants? It seems so obvious but I’ve never heard that explained.

Shave the whole thing but leave a bit of bang. Okay now frost the tips of the bang. Great, thanks! 😂

At 3:17 into the film here awesome colors 💛

They need to place air ballasts under the base of the island then inflate them to properly stop the sinking of the island. it would not be easy but effective

Truely a masterpiece!

THIS ACHIEVEMENT IS THE GREATEST WONDER OF THE WORLD FAR GREATER THEN THE PYRAMIDS,FAR GREATER THEN THE SEVEN WONDERS,GREATER THEN SPACE TRAVEL.

The Explorer and Capri are like tonka toy versions of the their namesakes, especially this Capri. The Capri is like Ford copying Polestars homework poorly with slight Porsche day running lights.
