Small amount compare to the US spent in afghanistan 2.3 trillion. Everything went down the drain after 20 years!! Sorry i was making comparison of cost.
@@dsedh23 well we are not gonna live for long here either.. i mean you think we were put on to earth to live ? If the creator wanted to us live in the world with its beauty he would have let us have it not created any obstacles ( ii.e Death, Disasters etc) that doesn’t mean to say to vandalize things, be resourceful, live and die.. there’s nothing much to expect
You didn’t answered your own question “why is the airport sinking” and “the engineers underestimated how fast the airport sinks” is not the answer, even when you repeat it a few times
The fatal flaw is that the Japanese slaughter tens of thousands of dolphins every single year. The Japanese actually hold slaughter-fest in which they rounded up the dolphins by the thousands and slaughter them, dyeing the whole sea red. Obviously this doesn't bode well with the Sea God.

Regardless of their failures, Japan seems to be properly invested in the public, imagine what the states could do if they took 50-100 billion from their overinflated defence budget.

I’m certainly no engineer, but I can tell you that water always leads to disaster. Who tf and why tf would make you think building on the water is a good idea!? Let alone an airport! 🤦🏻♂️
There’s loads of man made islands that support heavy structures, Singapore has a man made island called Sentosa, which his home to universal studios Singapore, and loads of other similar attractions.
Biden spent 6.1 trillion of our money on trying to fool us with smoke, mirrors, news media gas lighting and presentations from Kammi....and we're sinking.
Damn! I was a Marine stationed in Japan until 2022. Some of my favorite memories were road-tripping from Hiroshima/Iwakuni to KSI/Osaka to pick up other service members. I was mind-blown the first time I drove on the airport and realized it was an island of its own. Beautiful drive. Side note; It was also very creepy during COVID as most shops looked abandoned inside. One of the creepiest/most depressing things I saw quite honestly...
i’m questioning why you need to add this flicker effect every ten seconds. i had to flip my phone to just listen. i feel like i should be able to see the stuff they’re working with.
There should be also a law that must be signed by ALL countries, where it states, that shit that was built and is abandoned must be disassembled to clean up the space. The only leftovers should be sand and wood. No bricks, asphalt, metals etc. I have the feeling that we are in a age where we build a lot of buildings and companies just leave their shit there without cleaning up.
It's a terrific airport and it is so easy to get to by train, bus or car. I had heard it was sinking but didn't realise just how rapidly. Too bad. As the narrator mentioned, it was built in the bay because there is really no space for it on land nearby. Japan is extremely mountainous and most people live in the plains which are very crowded.
Another big factor is that they wanted it to be able to have a 24 hour non stop operation which wasn't possible with an inland option. Also there had been a great deal of protests from the Narita airport works and the land take-overs that it required, something they didn't want to deal with.
The same story about the sinking "Kankuu" (as Kansai airport is known locally) gets recycled over and over again. It sinks a little and the engineers come up with something. It was too politically insensitive to build it on land. Look up the building of Narita airport before the 1964 Olympics for a much more interesting if not heartbreaking Japanese airport story.
I'm no genius but why don't they just build a wall surrounding the airport, stopping the water from flooding the airport? I know aircraft land so the wall wouldn't suit them the best but they could extend the edges and build a wall far enough for aircraft to still approach aswell as the airport not to be flooded?
I went to Japan with very high expectations and they were exceeded, so much history, culture, architecture, natural beauty I was there for 10 days exploring throughout the country and I loved every second of it, I will be going back once it’s possible to do so
this video posed a question - why is the airport sinking? but the video did not address the question of why! but did continue to say how much and for how long it will continue to sink!!
Do you know what's even more hilarious? Back in 1997-2000, Japan had experiments and tests with a possible fully floating airport. They've built a 1000m Mega-Float floating airport model in Tokyo Bay. And in the end, they came up to the following conclusions: -A number of programs were developed to design a large-scale Mega-Float airport taking into account of hydro-elastic response. Using these programs, test designs of an approximately 5000m long floating airport containing a 4000m-class runway were drafted. -Programs were developed to estimate fluctuations in the radio wave of ILS and PAPI, which are caused by the minute motions due to hydro-elastic response in the Mega-Float airport. These were then analyzed using the 4000m-class test designs. In addition, through the inputting of the analyzed values into a Japan Airlines’ flight simulator, several active pilots made simulated landings at the Mega-Float airport for evaluation. The results of these evaluations indicated the hydro-elastic response have absolutely no affect on landing. -Actual test take-offs and landings carried out on the 1000m Mega-Float in Tokyo Bay enabled various data to be collected and analyzed, but no noticeable difference to airports on land was recorded. Furthermore, the results proved to be even more successful when the pilots who participated in the take-off and landing verification tests also evaluated the Mega-Float runway as being no different to any other airport. -The environmental impact of the undersea noise caused by the take-off and landing of aircraft was evaluated to be at a level that would not affect the habitat of marine life.
A "floating" airport intentionally designed to sink? That sounds almost as intelligent as building a nuclear reactor on the coast of an island plagued by typhoons, earthquakes and tsunamis.
The reason Fukushima failed was because they didn't have a warning about what was coming, so they couldn't switch off the reactors in time. There's another nuclear plant on the coast that survived it because they shit it down. The more you know...
damn its been ages since ive landed in japans kansai, brings back memories... the bridge outbound from the airport sounded amazing (if you left via train)
The existing Osaka International Airport is located within the city of Osaka and has no room for expansion, making it unable to handle the growing passenger demand. The biggest problem was the serious noise problem caused by take-offs and landings over densely populated residential areas, The noise problem at the time was unimaginably serious, so the authorities decided to build a new offshore airport that would not cause noise problems. The Japanese do not consider the sinking of Kansai Airport to be serious. They believe that it can be overcome. There is no airport that can replace Kansai Airport and plans are being made to expand the airport's functions in order to further increase the number of flights at Kansai Airport.
Well Chek Lap Coke airport (Hong Kong International) also is a floating airport it's one of the worlds busiest cargo and passenger airport it currently is building a second island for a new passenger terminal and a 3rd runway the airport was built after Kansai international yet it isn't sinking
Last time I checked the floating hotel was a disaster, so I really wonder how TF did Japan even approve of this project considering they saw what happened with the hotel, up close.
Japan has a history of over estimating their own ability, and under estimating external forces. I'll leave it at that before I get flamed by the anime otakus and weebs
No ,the airport is floating it is supported by cylinders of concretes wich upsides down,,for example when you out an empty cup in water in upside down it does not sink first coz the air is trapped here
Raise the steel walls corner to corner below Airport from seabed till it touches to under surface of airport. Fill this cornered regions with High density extremely thick foam . Side walls prevent foam spreading to ocean. Foam raises Airport evenlyfrom seabed. Allow water escape at clearance near seabed as foam expand it displaces water. When foam is expanding make sure it is expanding within cubical form. Making it like Foam bricks supporting Airport. Side walls shall never allow foam to escape. It shall maintain uplifting Airport upward and sinking would stop. Also if Airport raises to initial limit then anchors could be realigned to initial first mark position. This is how one can surely stop Airport sinking. Hope your goodself would pass this comment. To Japan Authority of Airports.
@@aangiolochiesa I don't think air transport is going to change that much in 100 years. The technology that is powering those tools will most likely become automated, but the ability to transport a large amount of people and large amount of goods, in the air, has been somewhat stagnant in the last 100 years. The airport itself will probably provide a lot of valuable data from their mess up.
The airport and terminals were designed to sink over time. The buildings are on jacks. It’s still cheaper than buying enough land to build on, esp since Tokyo airport faced decades of protests.
We can separate runway and make runway submersible when high wave days and float on top ocean when operate then each plane had a submersible hangar bay and escalator lift airplane up to runway or bring air plane down to hangar Bay..so less change of being atacked
I would say to build walls around the airport underwater and compacted with the same things that was used to make the lsland but have the walls support on the out side and steel clamps where they connect but those walls be as deep as can be
Why they built reclamation island far from mainland (in this case near rinku town). They have to built long and expensive bridge, adding more cost. Why not close to Rinku town?
No matter what this is an engineering marvel, even if it sinks. It is a first try and has already been used for years, but if it is going to sink they should disassemble the structures and move them off the island and add more feet of elevation. This time they have much more information to use in doing it correctly. They have already spent too much on this island just to let it sink and write it off.
they have already build another (smaller) airport across the bay and it looks to be fine so far. anyway..that 20billion cost INCLUDES the money spent in hydraulic jacks in the foundations of all the buildings (to raise them as the island sinks) and also includes the money they have spent so far making sea walls around it, the initial build cost was way way less than 20b. and since it's cheaper to repair it than build another...they have plans to add height on the sea walls and the runaways.
They already used those information. The newer island airport such as Kobe and Nagoya chubu has no such problem. In fact, the island next to the original island has no such sinking problem.
The problem is they built it assuming best case scenario sinking not the the worst case scenario had they built it assuming worse case built it higher none of these problems would have happened
That's the price of land reclamation above the sea with the rise of water level as well stronger typhoons due to climate change it is bound to sink. Man made islands are bound to sink as well in the future
