Do you know about similiar useless megaprojects in your country? 🤓👇

I didn't know that Lionel Messi was the former Sri Lankan President

[ohnoitsthenoooo]

Props to Lionel Messi for his Sri Lankan political accomplishments at such a young age

Went to China for 3 months back in 2011, weirdest thing was driving through the countryside and seeing completely abandoned cities off the side of the highway. Complete with 30 story plus empty condo buildings with visible cracks and vegetation growing over them. Very strange. Best part of China was visiting Dali. Beautiful there.

As a non-sports person the thought of spending $11 billion dollars so people can go and watch guys run around and kick a ball has to be one of the most insane things ever.

[johnarnold]

Lionel Messi should stick with football and leave the building of airports to the experts

[mhstardk]

Damn, Lionel Messi kinda looks like the former Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa

My mother and her family hailed from Waxahachie (Texas), so when the SSC was set to be developed, the entire area was super excited. When the entire project was cancelled in 1993, it was a major letdown to the people that would've benefitted from it.

The closing of the SSC had adverse consequences for the southern part of the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, resulting in a mild recession, most evident in those parts of Dallas which lay south of the Trinity River.

What pisses me off isn't that they wasted billions, what pisses me off is how much nature got destroyed and nothing happened out of it!

[nischalmahat]

That is why Leo Messi is considered the GOAT, he can handle 2 jobs at the same time

[reyc.nasution]

Personally, I don't think a moustache really suits Lionel Messi. He should shave it off.

[johnnyonthespot]

This probably won't be seen by many but I wanted to throw out my compliments to you my friend -
You do not just put pretty pics up. You have actually done your homework on these projects.
Nice job ~

[blablablaclaclacla]

@5:40 lionel Messi - former president of Sri Lanka 😂😂😂

[TruckingwithJReddick]

It is absolutely amazing how most of these countries are able to spend all of this money on Mega Projects, but don't have money in order to take care of the citizens of the country.

[beedubree]

the superconducting supercollider sounds like something dr doofenshmirtz would build

[miketyson]

The Cobalt Silverlink is apparently the biggest business estate in Europe but yet its virtually empty. Probably 20% if that is being used. Great race track tough. 👍

It’s a shame so many resources were wasted on that Manaus stadium. I’ve been there before. The area is beautiful and the people there are so nice and welcoming. That money could have helped so many people there. They could have built tons of affordable housing or strengthened the transportation connections to the rest of the country to make trade easier and more profitable while also gaining better access to necessary resources. The Brazilian people deserve a much better government. Real shame.

[sandwichgaming]

i`m from brasil and i can say that 95 per cent of our projects are much more expensive and useless than any other project in the world

[Frxzt]

I'm so proud of Lionel Messi. He is truly an international hero.

[joek]

I am far from being a physicist but, I do remember when Super Collider was set to be built, I was just a teen in high school, I was really excited about this. I’m disappointed to this day that they stopped the build.
