Insane Megaprojects that were Never Built 

New york airport one

Chicago Spire or Mile High

The Chicago spire

King Salman Bridge, which will link Egypt and Saudi Arabia with a sea bridge and link the two continents of Asia with Africa This is important for the Egyptian and Saudi peoples because of their national, religious, social and ethnic connection

Illinois Skyscraper.

9/11 would have been easy

Not even just Manhattan, right across the water you'd definitely still hear that in jersey city/Hoboken

@@Zadesniper As i am literally sitting across the river from where this was proposed to be built in LIC right now, I 100% agree. NYC would be almost totally unlivable if this succeeded.

@@augury2699 maybe they could build it somewhere else? Question is where on a waterfront to put it?

​​@@julieleatherwood7898 No, the twin towers would never have ever been built if the airport was built where they were.

If I'm correct, I think the illinois skyscraper was the jeddah tower's inspiration

@@Ju-op9cl Bingo!

@@catzzzz1450 An epic fail since 1/3 height has been built.

The Jeddah Tower is an almost direct copy of the Mile High with a few tweaks. It was also originally planned to be a mile high, but they reduced it to a kilometer when they realized how much the cost would be for a mile

@@ClementinesmWTF Is it just me, or does that twisted skyscraper in Chicago look an oversized drill bit?

It would have been too close to the river, the soil around the Spree mist be very soft and sandy. They would have had to dig down to bedrock for something that big

@@Lv-nq9qz Nazi buildings were never built to last. The stadium in Nuremberg where they had their party rallies was so badly constructed and built that it was crumbling apart in the 1990s already. The only real lasting building is probably the Westwall/Siegfried-line, and that nearly bancrupted the German Empire in the 1930s and drove up housing costs, because you couldn't get contractors anymore.

Another interesting fact: the test pillar survived the war and was so massive it couldn't be demolished safely. Instead it got used for scientific experiments for a few decades and is now a monument with some informations provided there about the site and history.

@@Mowraq Wow, that is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing! :)

I'm sure they could have just built a that much bigger and deeper foundation then. If a million tons of concrete is not enough, make it a billion tons! With all the resources of Europe at their disposal, it would have been easy enough, just way more costly.

Bruh

Yeah, because it isn’t such a long build time for a cathedral. Cologne cathedral took about 600 years to get build….

@@Jonas.N The Dom only took around 300 years, between like 1250 and 1550 or something. Still makes de la Sagrada Familia seem like child's play at 140 but 600 in an overstatement and a half

@@Jonas.N Terrorist: "Hey look, I made a pile of rubble. Only took me like, ten seconds. Eleven, tops."

@@Jonas.N sure, but how many of them had the benefit of modern machinery to help them build it. At this point Sagrada is nothing but a scam. If they actually wanted to finish it, it would have been a long time ago.

And then the engineer and the architect work together to design a very depressing box.

@@thepinkestpigglet7529 I mean you have to know how to build a tall building without making it fall down, so in most of case it looks like triangles or boxes, due the wind and such.

The world would look boring and no progress would be made if engineers would not be pushed by architects.

@@RK-cj4oc but there wouldn’t be any kind of infrastructure if it wasn’t by engineers

@@adolfodavila6158 very true. But it also would not progress and we would be stuck with wooden huts.

And wouldn't cover the land value

Gaudi may have spent 43 years on Sagrada Familia, but he got so hung up on details he didn't get very far. The art book I have of it from the mid 90s is just the front of the cathedral, with a few foundational elements behind it. Since the photos of that book were taken, construction on the cathedral was restarted, and now, the building is almost complete. And as the images in this video show, it's an easy contender for most astonishingly beautiful structure in the world. I'd never heard anything about this new construction, so when I went to Barcelona with friends and took my little tour of Gaudi buildings, I was floored by the building I'd expected to be a sad monument to what might have been, and ended up being potential fulfilled. Of course, when you actually look at the parts Gaudi worked on himself, you can see why he made so little progress. In comparison to the rest of the building, the original structure is just so detailed, so elaborate, with sculpture literally bursting out of the masonry as though trying to come alive, it's clear that, at the rate he was going, he wouldn't have completed the building even if he'd continued working on it to this day. It turns out that, sometimes, brilliance can be the enemy of accomplishment. He also abandoned construction on a smaller, more humble church over in the Guell colony, leaving only the lower chapel and an impressive model of what the final piece might have been. Of course, that lower chapel and the unfinished building around it are also stunningly beautiful, unparalleled works of art. In a magical world where Gaudi could realize all his impossible dreams, this hotel would surely have easily eclipsed all other buildings in Manhattan as the city's greatest attraction. Alas, we don't live in that world.

The big airport is possible but will probably be halfway built and then abandoned like most mega-projects

The Gaudi hotel looks like a typical background building from Futurama, so maybe in the distant future, someone will dust off the design and build it somewhere in Manhattan (downtown wouldn't be good for it, maybe south midtown, somewhere it could stand out)

Thanks a lot!

I remember watching him before 100k dang

The Illinois was the skyscraper to rule them all... 😂

The part where we hear somebody call out : "Due to a breach in radiation the elevators are no longer working." bugs me a little.

was looking for a comment about this lmao

@@PotatoeSnow hes talking about 911 and how if a plane hit the government building Illinois tower than all government facilities are done for

Imagine walking into a building and the first thing you see is the building's weather forcast

@@YEAHKINDAGAMES "Cloudy with bit rain inbetween Hitlers speech and Goebbels Propaganda"

@@YEAHKINDAGAMES imagine going into a building and it rains inside

9/11 wouldn’t have happened.

But Hoping it will be Revived Once Again in order to Boost India's Tourism, Because We Need The Black Taj Mahal in Order to Make India a Superpower, High Income, and Developed Country.

@@ainsleyfrastructurekpopmashups I dont think that tourism is going to help India right now. It can help a little bit

@@ainsleyfrastructurekpopmashups I just feel like I’m going to get hit by a car sometimes 😅

@@ainsleyfrastructurekpopmashups No, you don't need another Taj Mahal for that. These things will come, only with the reincarnation of Baba Sen

Pick up your cross and follow Jesus! The world is quickly headed for destruction, and sooner or later you will have to sit at the judgement seat and give an account for your actions. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life! - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God tho. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc and you should get a response. Have a blessed day!

He had great ideas, just really really shitty ideals lol

Half of berlin would've been destroyed by building this.

@@Zadesniper they literally lost the war because he was incompetent

Yes that's correct (I'm German)

Yes, i think they wanted to test how much the soil could carry (For their planned Arc de Triomphe).

LMAOO Ja Same :(

@@trimlesscoasters Schade aber auch 😅 Aber wenn man weiß von dem das geplante Deutsche Bauwerk kam, so isses doch besser so :D

@@P4Tri0t420 ja 😂

Lol I'm 1/4 German and I agree

@@tylersoto7465 are you American?

Bro, like 3% of the worlds power is nuclear. Riding an elevator 30 times or so is basically one trip on nuclear power

9/11 wouldn’t have happened.

They were trying to kill Manhattan all throughout the 20th century. The modernist architects and Robert Moses saw the city as a cesspool of tenement housing, narrow streets and pollution. They wanted to tear down the low rises and build 'tower in the park' style housing and office buildings. If Moses had had his way, Manhattan would have been an massive grid of supertalls and 6 lane highways.

@@A_name_is_a_name it was a false flag so it would have happened regardless

Or, perhaps, the construction of NYC going forward would’ve been completely different. Guess we’ll never really know.

Thank you :)

Why? It's a fukin a dildo. Do something else

Chicago is a liberal hellhole. Its best days are long behind it.

Thanks!

And then make America first and great again was deemed defensive

Yup

Apart from feeding and homing their people.

Yea still are and more to come.

Or in metaverse...

As for that great hole, it'd make a great diving well after it got cleaned up.

@@isaiahc8390 was that supposed to be response to anything?

We don't have to imagine

Imagine 2

Thanks!

I think your referring to LeCorbusiers city concept. He actually put the airport right in the middle of the city, on two major axial highways going north-south and east-west. Could you imagine living in a building with planes flying by it every 5 minutes? It'd be like living in hell.

hii

Would enjoy the view for a few days but would eventually get irritation by the planes sound pollution

...would have been...

Good project with good utility that got killed by the recesion.

Thanks man👌

Like the red green diagram

right??? that has to be the dumbest idea ever.
