The Golden Gate Bridge was the marvel of its day, and a 100 years later this 12:51 is.

The Millau bridge is as innovative and daring a project as Concorde was.❤😮

That hotel is a textbook example of how a group of highly intelligent people are blind to the biggest blunder of their career. This location is extremely unsuitable and extremely dangerous for construction. Earthquakes, collapses and rainfall can cause much more than the construction can compensate for. Problems rarely come alone, a building must always be able to be safely evacuated, even without power. And then I haven't even mentioned the depressing surroundings.

Good documentary

Everyone builds luxury stuff. What about us lower middle class?

So they anchored the hotel at the bottom and put movable parts at the top so basically it's now just like a normal building during an earthquake and it would break from the bottom still 🤔

You will have so many bugs on your patio

30:00 So they created a hotel with floors underwater, and then they stuck aquariums over all the underwater windows instead. Isn't that just outright cheating your guests? Who would pay that much just to watch a small aquarium? They could have just put lighting in the quarry lake instead, and actually created a proper ecosystem with fish in it.

[@BooBuKittyPhuk]

The difference is the aquariums are salt water and can have amazingly beautiful setups and fish in them. If the guests were just looking underwater in a lake they'd definitely want the aquarium instead

[@sandrsofias]

One of the commentators, Corina, is poorly/shoddily lit. Don't you have quality control and reviewing before the release of material?
