It's not $40bn. You took the original cost 1.5T JPY, converted it to USD and then accounted for inflation, where it would be more accurate to account for inflation 1.88T JPY and then convert it which is $12.6B, which is actually less than the $15B with 1994 exchange rates. It's weird to convert it and then use unrelated inflation, but also Japan's very low inflation makes other calculations weird Also, I have wondered why on Google Maps if you go in 3D low down there's a discrepency on the height it is and the height it expects it to be, hadn't seen it anywhere else, and the sinking could be why
@qtdcanada
@qtdcanada 3 ай бұрын
Very intelligent comment about the hodgepodge of cost conversion used by the video author! Even allowing for the 'crazy' inflation in Japan of the last 3 years, we are still looking at less than 3%. If we are to incorporate the 30-year time frame, and using actual JPN inflation rate, then the 'present' cost of the Kansai Airport would likely be quite close to the original cost.
@edata5898

yeah for exchange rates would be more accurate to use the purchasing power parity exchange rate which would make it 19.85 billion USD today [using the 1.88T as today's JPY estimate].

One thing I always appreciate is food costs almost as much as it does outside the airport. No ridiculous airport prices as in some European and US counterparts.

The school I attended wanted a new building but the land was marsh. They dug a hole and filled it with dirt. Then they piled 25’ of dirt on top. When I asked they said the extra dirt was the weight of the building to be built. They left the dirt for over a year for everything to settle onto the marsh like bottom. They removed the dirt and built the building. It’s still there today no cracks or major settlement.

Interestingly, Kobe Airport which is also built on reclaimed land and not too far north of Kansai in Osaka Bay doesn’t appear to be having the same issues. I think eventually (we’re talking decades), Kobe could be built out more to take over from Kansai. Kobe is currently domestic and has just the one shorter runway at 8,000ft vs 11,000ft at Kansai. Kobe did have a lot of local opposition though when it was proposed and didn’t open until 2006.
@AlphaHorst
@AlphaHorst 3 ай бұрын
Kansai sinks because it is so large, making Kobe bigger risks a simple repeat. I think, unless we have drastic changes in how we travel and aircraft tech they will keep raising it up. There is no other place to fit it on, youd need 4 or more airports around the city to fill in for it and even if divided by 4 the size is still so big that there will be no 4 good places to rebuild it. Rebuilding is also going to be more expensive than raising it. The airport is basically responsible for around +30% or more of Osakas revenue either directly or indirectly. It is also important for the rest of the region and the japanese government as they would risk loosing a well build up international city used to hoast al manner of events year round. So I believe it s here to saty for at least 50 more years and is only going to go away if we somehow advance in our tech to a point where we can reduce the size of airports without losing anything

Why using "jacks" to raise some of the buildings? After 30 years modern buildings mostly need a complete update. So why not bulldoze everything to a plain but higher level and build a new airport on top? If you make the new level high enough the next "leveling up" might be due then in 50 years. If you take in account, that you not only have to work against the sinking ground, but also against the rising sea level.

Just was there in August. Second time using that Airport in the 4 times I been to Japan. I hope it survives for a while longer. The ease at how I can get to mass transit is incredible. The rail station is connected directly to the station. There is no way to tell that the airport is sinking. I believe I remember seeing a documentary on cable tv (back when cable tv provided high quality fact based documentaries instead of weird fake documentaries about aliens or “reality” shows), that they have the ability to raise the airport up using a lot of gigantic hydraulic jacks.

I've flown into Kansai several times since it was built. It is a very nice airport but a long way into Osaka proper (much like Narita is too far from Tokyo). So over the last few years we've found it easier to arrange our flights so that we can arrive in good old Itami/Osaka airport which is much closer to both Osaka and Kobe.

KZbinrs adding their faces to supposedly informative videos typically have narcissistic inclinations and provide less of a value per average minute of the video (as far as useful information goes). In the case of this video, the ratio of useful information to filler/water (no pun) is borderline.

@misterscottintheway the comment, of course, was addressed to the author of the video. However, you've managed to provide even less of a value in your response that I did with my comment. Since you appear as someone who also desperately needs some help, I'll happily provide it to you. Here's the Wikipedia's definition of the condition you might be suffering from: "Graphomania (from Ancient Greek: γρᾰ́φειν, gráphein, lit. 'to write';[1] and μᾰνῐ́ᾱ, maníā, lit. 'madness, frenzy'),[2] also known as scribomania, is an obsessive impulse to write.[3][4] When used in a specific psychiatric context, it labels a morbid mental condition which results in writing rambling and confused statements, often degenerating into a meaningless succession of words or even nonsense then called graphorrhea[5] (see hypergraphia). "
