There are so many engineering marvels outside USA.

I personally LOVE his modern and timeless designs

[malcolmc]

Pretty sure the Salesforce tower isn't a kilometer tall!

[cchansemicircle]

I'm a civil engineer. I love what we do

The Bay Bridge part of this video has a pretty big disconnect between the footage and the span the narrator is actually talking about.

[IRONHEAD]

That was cool. Thanks for the video post. Best of luck 🍀

You are off with your stats. The Salesforce building in San Francisco is 1, 070 feet tall, not meters. That is 326 meters. if it was 1, 070 meters, it would be the tallest building in the world...

The Three Gorges Dam required such a significant portion of the world's supply of Portland Cement that the price of concrete went up about 3 fold. It's never gone back.

I think you should also include the Hadron Collider.

[kjconway]

The salesforce tower is 1070 FEET tall, not meters. If it was 1070 meters tall it would be the first skyscraper over a kilometer tall and would be abt 600 feet higher than the Burj Khalifa

"If it wasn't for the Colorado Aqueduct cities like San Diego and Los Angeles wouldn't be able to maintain agriculture." Funny I didn't know Metropolitan Cities were a cluster of mega farms.

[williamdowning]

The Panama canal was a monster of a project 😎

[heatheraubin]

the large hadron collider in france/switzerland is the greatest of all, and not even on this list.

[danjberg]

Wow - didn’t know that Salesforce tower was taller than Burj Khalifa. Proof read your copy!
Oh - and like how they didn’t actually show the new SAS portion of the Bay Bridge. Get it right folks!

Salesforce tower is 1070 feet tall, not meters. (9:44 mins)

[GeographyNuts]

Interesting, most of these are old, Engineering came a lone way since then

[Know_Brainer]

Chrysler building’s design is easily one of the top 3 iconic architectural accomplishments of the twentieth century.

[catcrazy]

Why don't you include the Mackinac bridge? It's a lot longer than the Golden Gate bridge, was constructed in the 50's and connects the upper peninsula to the rest of Michigan. It was quite an undertaking at the time and is still used today.

At the Guggenheim Museum, which is a huge ramp, you take the elevator to the top and walk down the ramp, 6 stories, rather than walk up a 6 story ramp.
