I can think of 9 to 11 reasons why building an airport skyscraper is a ridiculously bad idea.

[@Ryan-gf1sz]

good, show me xD

[@boltaurelius376]

Whats more, whos going to want to work on that runway , exposed to elements. They're gonna want to get themselves an inside job.

[@PeanutIsFunky]

one wrong move and it's a national tragedy

[@thestudentofficial5483]

Fun Fact: the spire of the Empire State Building was designed to be a mooring point for giant airships, so they don't have to venture far into countryside for wide open field for landing. Go figure why most of you never heard of this.

[@realquadmoo]

didn't end well ;w; but would have been cool I wish blimps were more successful

[@RAdaltonracer]

Designed but never actually realistically considered. It was considered too impractical even back then.

[@celebrityrog]

It was never really put into mainstream function as loading and unloading passengers, luggage, crew, goods, cargo was via a very steep, very narrow and potentially deadly air-staircase. It's like climbing the stairs outside Hudson Yards at their building climb thing at the top. Except you're strapped in for that, the Empire State mooring point wouldn't strap in passengers back then.

Dude, the renders in this are _beautiful_

[@alfred9977]

The 737 model in the video is just a 787 with 737 wings 😩😫

[@DYLANEFRONDEROZARIOMoe]

I think they are A320 wings , not even the neo just the CEO with sharklets

[@luks303]

7:25 the 3 tower idea for the Copenhagen gate project actually looks pretty good, would love to see something like that in real life

[@Man-tk6jp]

I mean, they once try to land an airplane in the heart of NYC, was ‘t really a succes.

[@thestudentofficial5483]

Funnily enough there were two separate successful attempt by a same person made as a dare to steal a plane and land it in front of the public house / bar

[@Laurens-re1cw]

I really Hope your Channel gets More subs keep going with this quality

[@PabloMorenoMenéndezdeLuarc-n7z]

Same here

[@joaquinsanhueza3817]

Just a suggestion! Between mentioning the different buildings, you could add a title and a number so it is a smoother transition, love your videos btw keep going

[@fz1576]

Amazing production. Can't imagine how much time was spent to create these nine minutes.

[@KaiAdinCooper]

The River Thames airport/bridge at the end reminds me greatly of similar designs in Second Life (game/metaverse). Constrained by 'region sizes' people just built grey slabs high above the 'terrain' often with buildings and waterways underneath

[@Imran12mamutovski]

You deserve a lot more attention bro

[@scribleman4902]

Def.

[@gregoryturk1275]

Ye

[@antenerokent492]

[@nightwheeler26]

Insane video and creative work. Thank you so much for this. Its insane!!! Instantly subscribed just 25% across the video. Keep it up

[@ihtesham_emon]

Very underrated channel. The 3d models are unreal! ❤

[@gabe-dub]

Tom Scott made a video about a rotating house, the guy that built that is a genius

[@alexdeleeck7674]

I was stunned by your first video and I'm stunned by this one again! Only suggestion I would have is to lower the volume of the classical music pieces in between, to match the volume of your voice in the other parts. Just my 2 cents ;) edit: just noticed you this is your 3rd video and I missed the second one somehow

[@Ropuch7]

Very cool video! I like the chill style, and the amount of info was not too much nor too little. I apprieciate including your take on the bridge!

[@Italianjedi7]

I learned so much about architectural projects I’ve never heard of

[@tspmcfarlane]

Beautiful animations and visuals, and great storytelling.

[@weamibrahim2146]

Your name will be soon among the top youtubers in this field

[@KyrilPG]

Great! There was the same kind of crazy "runway building" projects for Paris river Seine, near the Eiffel tower and "Île aux Cygnes".

[@zobop]

I actually like the airplane scraper - but then I like a LOT of bizarre things 😅

[@Apodeipnon]

Why am i surprised that these are all incredibly silly

[@KVAHAMaurice]

I am blown away by the quality of your videos. Looking forward to the next one!

[@Phriedah]

algo comment, keep up the good work!

[@danified_yt]

0:44 ''boeing 737 max'' shows a 787 then an a320 then finally a 737 and then 787s 777s and 737s

[@antenerokent492]

this channel is greattt

[@Laurens-re1cw]

Man nice Video like always it is Great keep it up

[@gregoryturk1275]

I agree

[@PitsTasteGood]

I WISH that there was a super tall skinny sky scraper that traveled along a street! HEAR ME OUT!!! I remember learning about a concept for a tower that would optimize space by existing over a major street. So I imagine PARK AVE!!! You could replace the bike lanes with massive rails designed for four sets of inline wheels (Roller Blade Style). They would be in a quad format, wide enough to completely span the width of the street, even the point where it bends, maybe... And the length should be big enough that the tower could span over every intersection and all passenger traffic can pass under. The tower would move at a glacial pace along the straight aways. However, It would be a spectacle whenever it needs to cross a street. It would pause before the crossing and wait until it became late enough. The system would sense the flow of traffic for 1 night to determine which time would be best to make the first half of the crossing. A series of signs will illuminate a countdown which will warn all commuters and residents that in less than 12-16 hours, the intersection will be blocked for 15-30 minutes. (15 for one leg, leaving the tower over the intersection... or 30 to get the whole tower over if the traffic doesnt build past the limits. The tower would have an elevated outer plaza at the lobby level which people can lounge on and use to access the stairwells down to the street. There would be a cafe for residents only (Depending on how easy it is to get tons of people on and off the tower from one of the 4 wheel stair wells.) There would be a freight lift which can reach the street level on either side, which would sit right behind a truck to act as receiving. And fancy town cars can autonomously move very slowly with the tower on either side of the feet to provide a ride for residents ONLY... Getting back is on them, or they can pay for a full round trip which requires more planning. It would be about 20 to 40 floors depending on skinnyness, and it would definitely have a damper at the top and two smaller ones at the middle to help with any added turbulence. If you were a resident, you can expect the tower pilot staff to attempt to travel along the sunset line in accordance to the way it lines up with the streets throughout the year. Watcha think? huh? huh???

[@rigajykra3159]

The rotating landing strip is ugly as sin but I find it incredibly cool. I can just imagine it rotating as several huge plans are landing and taking off.

[@oleksawa2282]

You only have 9k subscribers?! with this kind of quality i would have expected you to be a multi-milion-sub-youtuber. The lack of recognition for your masterpiece of a channel is criminal! I really hope you get the fame you deserve man. Keep growing!👍👍👍

[@kedarkulkarni0808]

Quality of the video 🔥👍🏻

[@MareTranquil]

Is this video titled "Absurd Skyscrapers That Almost Got Built" for everyone? Because certainly none of these things here were ever remotely close to being built.

[@hannawilkens1125]
