From an empty airport used as a go-karting track, to man-made islands that are sinking back into the sea. And from two fully functional nuclear power plants that were never switched on to the largest abandoned amusement park in the world. This is part 4 of our most useless megaprojects series.

Whats your opinion about these projects? If you owned an artificial island, what would you build on it?😲👇

[mrburnz]

Dubai and useless megaprojects go hand in hand.

[rubberroast]

its ridiculous that all that $$$$ was spent for this magnificant huge airport, but not enough in that budget for just one train line to move the people from the city to it. Its like they paid for and built 99 % of the project, and refused that extra 1% that would have made it accessable.

[Ariel_Saturn]

Dubai really think they're in minecraft 💀

Wise man said don’t build ur castle on sand son, one should really listen to that advice 😂

[Sand]

A wise man builds on rock. A foolish man builds on sand.

The Dubai islands were great ...

... for the Dutch company that made the islands anyway 😁👍

[suzizuki]

for all the monies these countries wasted there could have been a tiny home for every homeless person, free medical care around the world, kids fat with succulent fruits and nuts and fish.

I don't know if you've already covered this in a previous video, but there is another nuclear power plant that was abandoned during construction. It's the Cherokee Nuclear Power Plant in South Carolina. James Cameron used the primary reactor containment vessel of this plant to film most of the scenes in his movie The Abyss. He filled the tank with millions of gallons of water, and the logistical challenges of the whole endeavor were quite intense for both the actors and 20th Century Fox.

The Millennium Dome in London is amazing and the roof top walk is absolutely amazing - It should never really be on this list of failures as its dormant period was only a hiccup 😎

[TonyEmond]

Nowadays Mirabel Airport is used to move pretty much all dedicated cargo flights, and that does free up a lot of capacity and runway time at Dorval. But it was pretty stupid to abandon the rail link.

Wonderpark Eurasia opened in 2019 so I'm surprised you didn't mention COVID as an obvious factor in its close as the world shut down the following year. No park could have survived that so soon after opening.

Mirabel saved my life one afternoon. 3 mile long runways allowed a 747 over loaded toward the tail, to land HOT. Fast. Really fast. And with a three mile long runway, it could be done.

I enjoy learning of any catastrophic failure that takes attention away from the fact that I myself, am a catastrophic failure 😊

[deboraboylen]

Proving money can't buy intelligence

[glife]

It's stupid to make islands when you have a large unused desert

[Jasper-Holland]

7:29 12 hours in a day? Are days in the UK faster then in the rest of the world?

[SIETAR]

Nuclear is still one of the safest forms of energy available, despite what happened at Chernobyl and despite what the media tells us.

[aurora.the.explorer]

"hey maybe we should establish some public transportation that'll improve everyone's lives and also save this multi billion dollar taxpayer funded airport?" " Public WHAT?! nah let's just abandon it that sounds impossible"

[sharreb]

The Php goverment goin ahead with Bataan after knowing about the volcano and the faultline was the craziest thing ever.
