    Whats your opinion about these projects? If you owned an artificial island, what would you build on it?😲👇
  • @mrburnz884
    Dubai and useless megaprojects go hand in hand.
  • The Dubai islands were great ... ... for the Dutch company that made the islands anyway 😁👍
  • Wise man said don’t build ur castle on sand son , one should really listen to that advice 😂
  • @ArielSaturn
    Dubai really think they're in minecraft 💀
  • @Sailor376also
    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.

    A wise man builds on rock. A foolish man builds on sand.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • @ferrabras
    This fear of nuclear power plant is stupidity. Chernobil had serious project problems, and operatorors made a huge mistake
  • @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.
  • @WZRD.YOUTUBE
    I enjoy learning of any catastrophic failure that takes attention away from the fact that I myself, am a catastrophic failure 😊
  • Exploring the world's most useless megaprojects in this video is a captivating journey. It highlights the challenges and lessons learned from ambitious endeavors. The stories behind each project provide valuable insights. Well-presented and thought-provoking!
  • @glife8478
    It's stupid to make islands when you have a large unused desert
  • Grew up in Montreal. Last time I used Mirabel Airport was 1999 for a winter trip to Cancun when I was 19. That Airport was HUGE! Most residents travelled there by car. Now; there is a light metro line (Reseau Express Metropolitan) being built half way in Mirabel. It should open late next year. If there is a business care; the line could extend there.

    I remember hearing a lot of news about the ghost mall in China. So glad to see that they turned it around!
  • @jenb2393
    Man I'm so glad you made this video I love watching your videos especially your 10 top projects in europe video that was gold but all I can say is I've been waiting for another video
  • @benwalter4842
    The Bataan Nuclear Power Plant should have been the Bataan Geothermal Power Plant instead, since the area is perfect for that type of power plant.
