If you believe the hype, then the Metropolitan Area Underground Discharge Channel stops Tokyo flooding. It doesn't. But it is one colossal part of a huge network of flood defences that protect a city that would otherwise be... well, very wet.

Many people shed doubt on the idea of sea level rise when climate-change proponents are the same people building multi-million dollar properties exactly in the areas supposed to be flooded. They've been continuously wrong since before the 70s... in all manner of directions. At one point they said we were going to have another ice age.
@user-sf4fy8bq1h
@user-sf4fy8bq1h 4 года назад
@@games1004 Sea-level rise is hard science. What civilians do with this information is not the fault of science. We're generally not the most charismatic people, so civilians often take up the torch to try to spread awareness. I'm not aware of any major climate-science activists building luxury properties, and even if your claim were true, it would not mean the science they're basing their arguments on isn't hard science with an enormous international consensus. If you want to make a more persuasive argument, I would suggest you cite credible sources to back up your claims instead of using vague terms like "they," as in " _they_ said we were going to have another ice age." Who said this? When? You might do the same thing for "in all manner of directions." Who specifically was wrong? About what? These simple changes would make your argument far more compelling. On a syntactical note, in English, one generally says "shed light" _or_ "cast doubt." To "shed" doubt makes it sound like one is getting rid of their doubts, which is the opposite of what I assume you mean.

I could imagine something like this could be retrofitted to also make power. Like adding turbines to the inlets for when a storm comes to make backup power, or making large storage tanks above ground or uphill to be used for power later..

I think it's worth doing any time you are filming ecording in an acoustically interesting space!

Everybody gangsta in the control room until Shinji refuses to get in the robot. I thought this was a tiny room until you put the humans for scale there, yikes.

You might be interested in the Red River Floodway in Winnipeg, Canada - after a devastating flood in the 1950s, the city built a massive gated diversion channel that goes around the entire city and can move 140,000 cubic feet of water per second.

1:30 The series finally of Kamen Rider Fiaz was filmed in a place like this! Seeing people on the ground and then looking up... it's amazing.

Nice to hear a government willing to make short-term economic sacrifices for the long-term benefit of the country. So often governments only care about the 5 or so years they are in power and nothing beyond that.

i think you misinterpreted what tom was saying. the project was started precisely to help the economy in a short term kind of way, during the recession construction companies would have been going bankrupt left and right (along with industry supporting construction like machine manufacturers, concrete and steel factories and so on) so the government started this huge construction project precisely to help said companies through the recession so there wouldn't be a massive amount of unemployed construction and heavy industry workers asking for welfare which would have been expensive AND pointless, whereas the tunnel system was expensive but actually served a purpose.

It's also regularly used for superhero TV show fight scenes, most notably six different times by the "Kamen Rider" Franchise, most recently an episode of the currently airing "Kamen Rider Zi-O" that was aired back in May.

In anime Assassination Classroom S2 there is an episode with one of these... Only now, seeing this video, made me realize what that scene/place was. Thank you! (Always good to learn something new!)
