Most Waste of Money Megaprojects In The World!
If you sometimes wonder where your tax dollars end up, we've got the answer for you: failed, outrageously expensive megaprojects. Yes, that's right! Mega projects are often viewed as ambitious feats of engineering and architecture that showcase the potential of human ingenuity. However, not all mega projects are created equal. Some are doomed to fail from the start, while others end up being nothing more than white elephants. Today, we have listed for you some of these useless megaprojects. From a never-used airport in Spain to a nuclear waste repository in Nevada, these projects serve as cautionary tales of what can happen when grand plans go awry. You will be downright shocked at what you're to see, but number one is way above your imagination, so watch till the end to find out!

5 Horrific Bridge Collapses in History
Dumb idea
Pipe dream
A rail line option is hardly worth considering from an international point of view. It can make sense only to Mexico and even that is so limited that Mexico would quickly outgrow the capacity and benefit. This Mexican project is cheap, feasable but in the end hardly moves the needle for anyone.
very dumb idea, cargo ships carry between 10,000 to 20,000 containers that are unloaded on a train that holds about a most 200 comtainers. it would take a month or so to unload a ship, and a month to load it full again. the same at the destination port.
Not meant to replace the Panama Canal it’s meant to be an alternative
Also they will have to build new port someone where in Mexico with enough terminals to unload all that cargo
wow - great way to develop a city for the games!

Classic arrogant Anglophiles who refuse to learn how to pronounce non Anglo names. I’m so glad we’re entering a multilateral era. It will force us to respect other cultures!
As a Canadian I am ashamed at the fact that we will be the only G7 country that's not invested or attempted to build high speed rail. America is building her high speed rail line connected Las Vegas to Los Angeles. it's becoming a joke here since most of political and business leaders seem stuck in the 80s and 90s with their mentality. As a travel AND train enthusiast I'd rather be in Florida taking the Brightline, France taking the TGF, or China taking the Fuxing bullet train. I am seeing how Canada is falling behind, to the point where lessor rich countries like Morocco (the first African nation to build HSR) are going ahead of us.
Just because it’s outside the US doesn’t mean all place names ending in e are pronounced …é as in Spanish, for instance. 🤦♂️
It's hard to understand why they didn't find a person who is familiar with the french language to narrate this. The pronounciations are so horrible I gave up on this video at the 12 minute mark
The pronunciation is horrible
You juste forgot the two bigest ones the Paris la Défense Arena and the Stade de France
Most beautiful stadiums
Amazing architecture
They just recycle old building for 2024 olympic 🤭 and panic cleaning their stinky river
hosting olympic games is a waste of money trying to please self-important people of the IOC. i propose hosting future olympic games where it belongs: in Olympia. let a sponsor rebuild the ancient precinct and its architecural wonders and do the olympics there.
Officer Crabtree pronunciation version.
what is interesting to me is they didnt think to build a city around it, even after years of being vacant.. the developers have noodle brains. PULSECHAIN coin $0.00006

So... haven't started digging yet...?
You have so MUCH MISINFORMATION in this video. #1 - The new Aquatic Centre CANNOT host the long 50m Olympic pool for the long races. It was built only for Water Polo / Artistic / and Diving. #2 - The Marathon races will start in Versailles -- not in front of the Hotel de Ville. You should CORRECT all your INCORRECT claims.
I hope that America can stop sending money to the United Nations and have Europe spend more on their own defense so we can build such marvels here in the US....✌️
Interesting content totally ruined by the atrocious mispronounciations of the (AI?) narrator. Truly woeful.
What do you mean, I've been on the "love boat" ride. It goes through a tunnel.... 😂😂😂
Have you ignored Marseille stadium ?

It's obvious that French is not your first language, but, in the name of God, can you at least make an effort to pronounce those French words ans names half correctly. You've massacred the language to the point where I am asking myself if you do it on purpose. I hate to say this, but this is a typical American habit to disregard completely the way words are pronounce in a foreign language (especially the French language and I wonder why.....) The British people don't do that, they have far more respect for the French language. When I was watching your video, I knew what you were saying because I am French and know these places you were referring to in the video very well. I feel sorry for the people who are not familiar with the language. Please do something about that.

The narrator is obviously an AI or some other robotic speech generator. Calm down. Les français massacrent toutes les langues étrangères auxquelles ils se mettent, alors faut arrêter de faire chier le monde à propos de leur accent quand ils prononcent des noms français, On a déjà une réputation bien merdique alors n'y rajoutez pas.
unbelievable how you smear out the information so long and so repetitive, all information could have been given in about 2 or 3 minutes if you did not repeat
As a fact, the Tunnel Elements are only being built in a Special Factory in Denmark and it is a Danish and - EU Financed Tunnel, as the Germans could't afford to participate!! So the eventual Profit will only be Danish! The Germans will be paid for making traffic improvements on Fehmarn, like a new bridge, road and rails for the improved traffic. Actually Groups in Germany fought legally to the very last, to prevent the built of the tunnel!! But a tunnel will give a much more constant and "silent" flow of the traffic than a landing ferry, off loading the full, several decks ferry-load of cars! And the last element on land in Denmark has just been placed, so that the coming elements are to be sailed out and connected below the water for the final built. By that they could - continue and built and sail Tunnel Elements up to make a new Tunnel between Helsingør (Elsinore) and Helsingborg, in Sweden also, when they have finished building the Tunnel to Fehmarn, if smart! With a functioning Factory and Harbor it will be a fraction of the cost to built one up north!
Na-Vay? It's NAVE. Rhymes with Dave, Save and Wave. As in wave goodbye to this narrator. Not the only word butchered.
I'm starting to think you just like to say snöetta
I wonder what whales and sealife will think of that I can see the news now. Blue Whale made home in Swedish Tunnel..... LOLOL
Coincidentally, I just finished watching a long, historical video about Manitouac and Two Rivers in Wisconsin showing how the Norwegians came over from the Northeasters states to help get the boat building industry off the ground. They sure are skilled engineers, and all that goes with building boats of all kinds.
Awesome PM Modi 🙏🙏🙏
Seems like a useful idea. I hope they consider the effects of seal level rise in their calculations...
Garranteed that it is going to hit a cow.
They'll probably sell that road kill to pakistan
The narration tho. Robot?
How many names can you butcher in one video…
Beaucoup trop il a arraché le français là
The names sounded Spanish
made me cringe
Wow, Paris is poor. Why agree to host the Olympics if you couldn't afford it. Wow. What a poverty stricken country. You can't afford your own security and you certainly can't afford the infrastructure. Imagine if they actually devoted time to productivity instead of endless strikes.
If France is a poor country, in this case few countries can host the Olympic Games. I am very proud to live in this country “so poor” as you say
@@fabarm6127 You being proud of your country does not mean your country is not poor. You're literally begging for outside security to help with the Olympics security. Who does that. But, do you.

I had to look at the date this was posted because I thought this could be an April Fool's post!

your sentence is repetitive too, lol. but maybe it was intentional
I bet it’s AI.
Aquire property,meaning confiscate property.
BUT - it IS Norway, NOT the USA, the affected owners WILL be adequately compensated, not nickle-and-dimed.
8:20 "No plans to make the tunnel passable on foot" you state. I think that something may well have been lost in translation here. Common sense dictates that at the absolute minimum there will have to be some sort of emergency ingress, access and egress system in the tunnel. Can't see it being a walkway as a road would take up little more room in this mile long marvel. I imagine that the intention was to say that there are no plans to provide a publicly accessible path or road through the tunnel ( but of course there'll be provision of an emergency one). This smacks of the Panama Canal, too. It can't fail to be a success so how long before more mountain carving to provide two tunnels to stop the flow restriction occasioned by the present hour on/hour off passage of ship traffic? Can't wait to see it.
I think adding some "powered mule" would be good idea, If a ship lost power, then it could be driven through with the mule. If they had enough speed, then it could coast through. I wonder what kind of backup they will have to prevent a ship getting stuck!
The thumbnail is deceptive. It is not a bored tunnel, they sink premade blocks to the seabed, which is not even round...
Thank you so much and it's corrected!
well blow me down.... just watching and listening and this video implies this tunnel has only JUST NOW got the go ahead.... and the video upload only days old.... and not long after my uploads showed a reference to the tunnel on a wall in Utah... This tunnel got the go ahead and the work started in 2023.... It was going to be used as a nuclear gun and the weapons left in the tunnel and surround were already found... they were intending to blow a cruise ship out off the tunnel at the very same time use CERN and blame the outcome on an experiment....(trying to tilt Earths axis thats why tghe process took place so close to the North Pole all has been revealed and if the person posting this has deliberately set out to deceive... Good Luck in the comings days/weeks.... many are about to be removed from Earth for their crimes in relation to child rape and sacrifice , genocide and cannibalism. Get ready.
