Oh HELL NO!! 1:47 It's beautiful I imagine walking out on it, but looking down ... nope. 😳

#10. All that planning to end up building it the same way the Mackinaw Bridge was built in Michigan, in the mid-50s. Mackinaw is still the longest from shoreline to shoreline, at 8 feet short of 5 miles. Twice as long as the Akashi.

@15:29 That's the Öresund Bridge Crossing in But otherwise, great commentary

[ishimweshadrack]

I don't know how grand canyon skywalk made it on this list, it completely joke😂😂😂😂

[Not_your_mom]

I had no idea that the arches in Spain was actually a aqueduct, I thought it was a foot bridge. I think that's the most impressive build because it uses nothing gravity and its still standing today

21:46 tristement surnommé le Golden Gate Bridge Jumpers ....

[maestroh]

I think it's time to just state measurements in Metric. There's only 3 nations that still use Imperial, so might as well drop it.

un autre exemple de coopération franco-britannique qui fait de nous les meilleurs au monde? vous voulez savoir?

le Concorde ( 1976 - 2003 R.I.P. ) 🙏 ⛑

15:28 Not sure why you randomly tossed in a picture of the Öresund Bridge when you're talking about the UK/France Railway Tunnel without even mentioning that the picture is not related to the topic? Seems lazy.

Another accomplishment of the engineers of the Berj Khalifa: tallest building in the world NOT connected to a sewer system. That's right each and every day Poop-Trucks haul away each day's collection of human excrement to another determined location. Who would have thought?

[Bad_Chariot]

you were going great until you failed on the Pyramids...

[Deandre-jh]

Taj is great Hindu temple of bharat! Do not believe misinformation of west and infiltrators. It is made of best India marble, and proofing is finds of many statues of great Hindu gods in basement! Jai Hind! Jai shree ram!

[somagee]

honestly idk why you mentioned grand canyon skywalk on the same list as the taj mahal and the manhattan bridge.its totally useless if you think about it plus its a symbol of greed and vanity...even so that literally any other skywalk around theworlds is bigger and higher...it feels almost like propaganda
