10 Biggest Megaprojects That Went Horribly Wrong 

I was told something similar. Has never steered me wrong!

Gotta live somewhere your able to push water away like a lagoon And equip a italian gentleman with a large paddle to clear away water constantly whilst singing italian opera Maaaaama miia When the moon hiits your eye And the classic Figaro figaro fiiiiigaro

i live in the netherlands oops

@@user-pm5qf7mh4w never say oops. You meant it

Or at the base of an unstable mountain. Just ask the Canadian town of Frank what can happen…

Dont live in china

China has the three gorges dam, should that thing break it would affect the lives of 400 million people. A humanitarian catastrophy beyond imagination. I said "would" but it's rather "will". Because, it's China after all, corruption took place and some materials were not as high quality as they should. Hundreds of cracks, up to 30m in length, were found in the concrete....BEFORE the area was flooded. It's a ticking timebomb.

@@saragrant9749 or, anything. just ask some ghost town in canada what couldve happen if they were build just a few kilomeres off

Don't tell me how to live

Forest City NC is where I live.. Kinda funny that's the first comment I saw.😎

Sounds Disney

Watching other things on China they do but at least a quarter of the cost of any construction is bribes

China only worries about further advancing the State. They don’t worry about people and all the Extra expense for Safety.

a damn good dam!

Spoken like a true communist!

Same all over the world, especially in India!

@@mahbriggs I don't know how this is a communist statement unless you would be cool paying for the mistakes of a corporation because politicians passed a law thinking it's a wise idea to make the tax payers suffer for the incompetence and irresponsibility of the corporation. I mean...there should be more than just communists pissed off at this. It should be anyone of any political background that is mad for paying for the mistakes of an irresponsible and incompetent corporation because the more this crap happens, the more likely others in other states and countries would be effected by this bone headedness. If we held corporations and rich people more responsible for their actions, then they would be deter from making dumb ass mistakes like they did in South Carolina and Mississippi.

Gee, that's funny. Most of the things mentioned in this video are in Asia.

That's absolutely RIGHT.

From Elk co PA . When they were working on it in 2003 they were working on 2 towers at the same time from what I heard and added to weaken it all the more I think it would be still standing if they wouldn't have messed with it.

And Kinzua Park is in NW Pennsylvania coal country.

It was empty. No train had ran on it for years. It was being repurpsed as a tourist attraction.

I agree with you that it served it purpose, but I believe it was included because of the workers' decision to not replace the iron footing bolts with steel, which may have avoided the collapse.

Well it was also being retrofitted. THAT was the mega prodject, and they also put cheapness over Likely saving the bridge.

The title didn't match the about the bridge, so what's the point of finishing the video.

which politicians do all the time

Incorrect! That is what happens when politics Trumps science! Environmentalist law suits and change government regulations are what killed tge project!

They should ditch that stupid law that allowed passing the cost on to the state

GOP(republicans) are in it for the SCAM.

The government took money from the people and invested it poorly, yet they don't get the blame? The entire video is about government mismanagement and yet nobody takes a hint...

But it is in NW Pennsylvania, isn't it?

If you think that's bad look at your politicians

Yea, with the exception of the first one they all Whent to waste.

You sound surprised but that is what happens when you vote for and elect politicians paid and owned by billionaires. Those corrupt politicians (99% of them) make sure that their bosses (yes you guessed, the billionaires) get richer and richer and obviously you pay. But they tell you that the problem is communism / socialism, capitalism is the best, the only way to go. And you keep on believing them until thy kingdom comes.

Thank your locally elected Progressive Democrats!

@@mahbriggs This smells of republicant BS to me, thru and thru. I read the voting pamphlets, while Democrats want to help the elderly and reduce low-wealth tax burdens, the Republicans just spout random shit about lowering deficits, cutting that, limiting this. We need to even our budgets, but it's not thru getting rid of needed services, it's through more taxes, especially towards to wealthy and big the big businesses, of which there are plenty to pick from in the Seattle area.

Wait... your state legislature approved using taxpayer money for "ancient, substandard equipment" and somehow it's Bush's fault? How does that make any kind of sense? With what is going on in Washington state it seems like your state's government is the people's worst enemy. No wonder some easter counties are wanting to become part of Idaho.

@@mahbriggs Oh boo hoo. Cry me a river. George W was a Republi-can't who had too much fun giving his oil-baron pals *way* too many tax breaks; sort of like a big orange cheeto we all know and despise. You're just unhappy that the 'Orange One' isn't getting away with all the crimes perpetrated against the "tired, the poor and the huddled masses," like Lady Liberty told the world to expect from the 'great melting pot.' He's being criminally charged and isn't getting away with his bull$hit any more. Guess how sad that makes me. Go on, guess...

No, tofu dreg buildings get finished but fail virtually straight away due to poor quality inferior building supplies & major corner cutting. Biggest problem is they do things like concrete pillars with no rebar in them, that's tofu dreg building. Basically finished long enough to get the paycheck & run, along with all the corrupt bribes to have things overlooked. Same things happening in most of Asia thanks to their corruption. India & Bangladesh come to mind first, they just pass the buck though

@@calzstevenson7017 your right about short cutting this is why nothing good comes out of china

The Chinese have a different term for those, which I believe the closest English translation would be "ghost building" or "hollow structure", tofu dreg is completely different i.e. you get a finished product, but one that is wholly sub par, due to poor material quality, corner cutting, unskilled labor, unsustainable/inferior design etc. resulting in a structure that fails almost immediately upon use.

King Kong though... 🤣

I am offended on behalf of Godzilla! if Kong is a wonder, Godzilla must also be!

Wow such a lesson. May you reach more people

I never was man enough to start so I didn’t have to be man enough to quit.

@@dirtfarmer7472 sounds like a limbo Better act like a half man to get half out Then you can do the hokey pokey and turn around

Which thumbnails are clickbait? 95% of the time the thumbnail is a screenshot from a clip in the video

10 shocking beach moments caught on tape... Your last video has a jet about 15 feet off the ground above beachgoers going faster than the speed of sound. The jet was infact hundreds of feet above the beach. That is 100% clickbait

​ @Norman-Bates that beach is renowned for being at the end of the runway, the planes really are about 40-50 feet max above the people. Edit: my bad, I thought you were talking about St. Maarten airport. Yeah, F35 is kinda click-baity, but I ain't complaining

​@@Norman-Bates Its illustrating what the video is about. Its exaggerated sure, but even MrBeasts thumbnails are exaggerated. We're probably one of the least, if not the least, clickbait channels youll find that post those types of videos!

@@Underworld5sLike I said in my original comment, this is a great channel. The reason I come back to Underworld is for the class of the production. I was complementing the channel and hoping it will never sellout to a gimmicky rhetoric.

Not mine (here in North Europe), but YMMV.

@@charonstyxferryman Northern Europe is not a country.

some people working in governments suck (and sadly misuse the trust and power that was granted to them).

If you love being alone!

KARL Marx would certainly be appalled! Not sure about "Carl," though?

Hypocracy rules in politics and religion ... Go figure!! 😂😅😂

No Hong Kong 🇭🇰 the state have you ever heard of a state?!

Oh wait he did say King Kong

It's an absolute travesty. The only people who 'want' the damn train are those who are pocketing cash.

As a concerned gretizen: no As a shareholder hell yeah

They never care about human safety. Communist governments never do. Only The State is important. People are expendable.

I like how my mother said it. Experience is the best teacher, just make sure the tuition isn't too high.

Are you kidding? they have hundreds of big failures every year. That’s why they call it Tofu Dredge Construction.

@@juliemunoz2762 It is amazing how naive simple minded people like you fall for anti-China propaganda.

Evergrande probably took the loan out through American Banks

And you would be wrong! Largely due to left-wing law suits and changing bureaucratic regulations.

That kind of corruption was bipartisan. I worked at the plant for about 30 years, held a SRO license at the operating plant and I used to go to the meetings where the company management explained how modular construction was going to get the plants on line in just a few years. I was very skeptical and I used to say to my level management types that SCE&G couldn't afford the two new AP-1000 plants and neither could the state of South Carolina. It was towards the end of my working career there and I went to personnel and asked how many days did I have to work next year to get next years vacation and they told me. I took vacation (I timed it at the end of one year and the beginning of the next year), then came back one day to check out. Flash ahead a while later and I'm driving on Interstate 90 in the Pacific Northwest and on the radio is a news report that the company was done and eventually being taken over by a Virginia utility. It turns out one of the company types went to jail for covering up the financial mess. He was a financial type and had no business being put in charge of running a utility company. I had sold my company stock LONG BEFORE the stock market crash of SCG. I timed my escape perfectly. It was obvious to any company employee like myself that the whole house of cards was going to come crashing down long before it actually happened. It was similar to the idiots we have in Washington DC right now making idiotic decisions that just can't work..

Money talks and that Brown Stuff walks

Everybody is in everyone's pocket, the fact of the matter is these companies and many others promise politicians cushy board seats or job titles with a lucrative paycheck once they leave office, so said politicians very often lay the foundation for either laws, regulations or government contracts that benefits those companies whom exploit them later on down the line. And make no mistake both sides of the aisle are guilty of this without question, corruption greases the wheels of government and anybody who attempts to tell you otherwise and or virtue signals that they are "above it" is outright lying right to your face and very likely is shoulder deep in the corruption. You also have to take into account the unelected bureaucrats, whom stay in their positions for decades at a time and are the primary facilitators of the corruption since they fly under the radar and have very little to lose and everything to gain from corruption, suffice to say the whole system is rotten to the core.
