Great Ethiopian renaissance Dam is loading,thank you for looking around and including in this video
I watch a lot of these types of videos and i have to say, the music you use on every video just hits the spot for me.
I love how Elon's unfinished megagigafactory makes the list but Hyundai's and VW's factories don't, even though they are five times bigger and finished.
Classic brain dead UA-camrs
Probably an Elon's fanboy
Elon could start selling pooper scoopers and people would be mind blown and give him all the credit for revolutionizing dog waste removal.
projects usually mean unfinished
@@joshriley6505the first building is finished?
Will never forget my little mishap in Petronas Tower: As a young engineer, was working in Floor, I think it was 82, to prepare a demo. First time there and also generally never been in such a high building, so I was curious what's on top - but elevators required a code I did not have.
So went into the emergency stairway, w/o much success, all doors above me locked.
Going back down to 82 - and also locked... all one way doors.
(...)
Took me over half an hour to get down, soaked, no climatisation there - and man was I relieved when THAT door on level 0 opened... Had some tough explaining to do, with the guards :-)
I'll take shit that didn't happen for $500, Alex.
@@timanders3151 lol, your life must be pretty boring, if you think a story about a guy having to walk down a long stairway must be a lie?
I mean: If I invented stuff, I would invent more interesting stuff than little mishaps at my time as an engineer for Siemens ;-)
Are you the one who mixed that bad concrete on that specific floor?
@@armynyus9123 tl;dr
@@adamthompson6443 The other guy asked for it ;-)
An entire city in Quatar cost the same to build as Twitter was sold for. That shot is crazy
@Underworld, check out at 10:03 the location is in Abu Dhabi, the Capital of United Arab Emirates- UAE. (Not Saudi, as you mentioned) :)
Holy cow- I really do have to get out more often. There's a whole world out there and it's bigger than I imagined.
Dude, i'm hearing ya
Same, as an American we are very sheltered and under knowledged, crazy all there is in the world, historical and present day to experience in a lifetime.
For projects like this, yes!!! Is nice to spend money. Not for war. Beautiful work.
💯% agree
That is incredible👍and am proud my mama Ethiopia ☺☺
Jubail Island is not in Saudi Arabia. It is located adjacent to Abu Dhabi in the UAE.
Exacto. Pero para ellos es todo Saudí Arabia que tiene la lengua árabe.
Thanks for the clarification.
wrong. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubail
The map shown is between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, UAE
There is another jubail on the west coast of Saudi Arabia
Amazing! Thanks!
Did Oki do this video? I kinda sounds like him, and the info/research level on this video feels really high quality compared to other “top 10” videos on UA-cam 🥰 either way, got my sub!
For the last project: a map would be nice
Interesting fact about the Burj Khalifa. It does not have a sewer system, so every day trucks have to come and pump out the poop from the residents. I wonder how they missed that design flaw?
It’s not a design flaw. They would have had to dig the entire city up and replace the sewage system with a much bigger one in order to handle the volume. They decided to go with an alternate plan of trucking it…saved money to upgrade the cities system, disruption to the city to dig it all up and replace it, and provided speed to get the Burj up and in operation significantly faster. There are some videos on here documenting it.
That is insane! The trucks must go non stop 24/7. That's a lot of shit 😅
Sort of sums up Dubai quite nicely when one thinks about it……..just sayin’..👍😁
@@fast97z24 more job
Not a design flaw……purposely designed this way
glad to say i once took a dive into the Marina Bay Sands swimmingpool , just amazing
16:54
I like how that boat drifted.
🤣🤣
Skyscraper buildings that seem so beautiful to look at are just an aesthetic hazard Consolidating a wide range of geological structures into one place only increases the risk, meaning that earthquakes caused by high-rise buildings are becoming more common.
Earthquakes aren't caused by skyscrapers
That’s not true at all. Pressure/tectonic plates and extreme releases of energy cause earthquakes. Even if the tallest and heaviest buildings were in one condensed place it wouldn’t do anything at all
Congratulations to Civil, Mechanical & Electrical Engineers! To Architects too!
Thank you.
You gotta add the investors too.
There are millions of people in Nigeria who have visions to build, create, manufacture incredible HUMAN-Made stuff but lack the backing of investors or Government support they needed to start the project. In Africa in a whole.
If Aliko Dangote’s family wasn’t rich, his ideas would’ve gone to waste. He might be just another African with big belly, average earnings & multiple children.
So kudos to the investors too
Nice you gave a shout out to the guys and gals that actually build it. Construction workers once again dont get any credit for accomplishing what engineers can only imagine
@@BrianSWG I'm a Mechanical engineer and I regard all labor involved in a my construction projects as engineers. Projects only start at the design level.
If there is no operator's laborer's helper's what happened to all engineers and architect 😂
Never been here this early, today must be a good day
Jubail island is not located in Saudi Arabia, it is located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
No, the project is in Saudi Arabia’s east side
The project of Jubail Island City mentioned in the video is adjacent to Saadiyat Island and Yas Island. Get your facts straight.
I live near it😂😂. Es Stupido
How much natural sunlight would you get every day if you lived in The Line? An hour? Two?
None
A coming earthquake will be a disaster to these projects😮
not in singapore

Hold on… forest city cost $140k apartment in forest city in 2017, it’s empty and only 5% occupied but prices are 10x higher?? Doesn’t make a lot of economic sense
I got a chance to work at the Gigifactory in Reno, NV really amazing
Really..
@@Nepalinatural can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not lmao but yeah we we’re building the battery racks. I was a subcontractor for them. Welding and Precision Millwright
One looks to the future for so many things like this, but have we made sure that a GRB or CME won't put us all out of business, maybe forever?---Seems that (especially regarding the possibility of a CME) this should be a first priority.
The line looks like something straight out of a futuristic movie but I absolutely love it
hehe Straight. imma head out .
Well, better get used to the idea it will never be finished. Likely, a smaller version will be built.
Also about the dumbest idea, pretty much what you expect from such a country ..
There’s problems from in a ecological way. The walls will be made of glass which will reflect sun and heat so the surrounding area will be hotter then usual temperatures. If anything it’ll become an all around laser beam during the day. Not to mention the ethical questions of keeping a large amount of people in one place.
@@archon7105 Not only ecological, a circle like we do all of our cities here in Europe or maybe a square like American cities all make somewhat sense but a line what is an advantage about a 20km straight line
very cool building
Very nice presentation.
Thanks.
The Line will never be built.
The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance dam(13:55) and the dam's icon Eng Simegnew Bekele (RIP)
Really enjoyed this
Wonderful video... thank-you
I'm proud to see The Grand Ethiopian renaissance Dam(GERD) in the list🙂
me too
How Long Can the Earth keep produce ressources for this madness…
tHE LINE WILL NEVER GET FINISHED
Amazing Concept 👍
Still cant believe people flock to gambling. Guess theyve never been broke.
May be
addicts
Lol. It’s addictive for some. I’m too cheap.
Their choice what they do
Maybe they are broke, and feel gambling their way back into credit is their best / only way.
I wonder if any of our modern structures will survive thousands of years to be later found by future civilizations if ours collapses due to natural events or nuclear warfare.
Just how we found the pyramids, giving us a glimpse of an ancient, lost civilization with no explanation of how they were built.
nothing from the 1990's or older will survive made to cheaply and made so that something new will be built to keep building companies making money.
The only remaining structures will be of stone. Just as we have today from our distant past.
Great point... I feel that society was advanced a lot more than we realize... Then something come along to destroy it such as disease. Now we're building up society again.
Pyramids are over 10k years old
A lot of these mega projects in the middle of the dessert just seem completely soulless. There are some things money can't buy
I’ve seen that Giga Factory outside of Austin. It’s off the tollway that connects San Antonio Metro to Austin minus all the traffic on I-35. It’s like two Amazon warehouses and some. Smart location too since it’s not far from Austin’s Airport and if they needed to expand that could
By the way the picture that you used on the profile of video is grand Ethiopian Renaissance dam.
What about the Mayan Train in Mexico, is really BIG
TQ reaction my country Malaysia 🤜🤛
My best friend, OMG! So wonderful! I really love this! Thank you so much!
Ethiopia will be the new super power.
you should have added metric sizes as well since the whole world is using it
I’m sure you have the capability to convert 😊
@@Thebigshow872 I do but it interrupts my watching enjoyment so I have just skipped it

If Forest City is lacking residents, why did property prices increase?
Meet the market where it's at and drop prices to get the city underway.
Who is proud to be part of Ummat e Muhammad Saw😍😍😍
I thought this was supposed to be a video about current Mega projects not ones that have already been completed
Well dang, i guess you'd better go fill that void and make your own?
Amazing. Like it
Should do a version 2 of this
I wonder if the Saudis even considered that the mirrors on The Line would create a scorching hot death-ray from the Sun's reflection.
They don't look to be so thoughtful/considerate.
They don’t, they only pay, they don’t think
How are these the 10 biggest? You missed the Kashagan Project, Kazakhstan ($120 billion), Gorgon Project, Australia ($60 billion), Kearl Project, Canada ($33 billion), not to mention many others such as Simandou, GLNG, Sakhalin 2, etc. I could go on. Seems like you just randomly picked 10 expensive projects.
He said in the introduction, 10 of the biggest not the 10 biggest. In other words take the top 100 and here are 10 of them.
This video is garbage
That may be but that is not what he claims in his discription header..
Bait and switch...not that anyone is surprised by it.
Ppl don’t wanna hear about 10 oil projects. These ones were unique
The Deltawerken in the Netherlands, a project which took about 50 years and makes the Netherlands a safe place.
Thank you very much.... The ethiopia renasance dam is one of world beggest dam
Also include metric measurements!
What about the megaproject that is the longest undersea tunnel in the world between Denmark and Germany?
denmark and germany ? you mean probably the one to their capital on this island, most of denmark is right at the border
@@a4553-sdfgh nonono its a hole new project between Denmark and Germany ;)
Amazing
PETRONAS TOWERS ARE JUST STUNING!!!👍👍👍
Giggidy Giggidy .... Futuristic Stuff For Sure 😄😄
Nice comment, Best Buddies!
@@minecraftwhitescreen Thank You 🙋🏻♀️🙏🏼 An They Are 😄😄
For those that live outside of US, is adding “or…. Metres” that hard?
This is interesting but it also makes me sleepy
This is amazing. I want it. I need it.
4 billion cubic meters of water... per day? per week? per millennia? It's kind of a meaningless measure without a timespan.
Similarly, "employs 20,000 workers per month" doesn't mean anything. Or, it just means the same thing as "employs 20,000 workers".
In the first case an amount was specified when a rate was needed. In the second case a rate was specified when an amount was needed. Otherwise, interesting stuff
MY BRAIN JUST GOT **DARZHNARZHDICATED!!**
They shall live for the rest of their lifes only in steel, concrete and glass!!!! These people are completely insane!
exactly what i was going to write. They are destroying nature. they aim to develop Star Wars movie style cities with not a single plant
Actually it's much better than a tent in the desert sand...
@@Oasis_Desert_Rose Actually a really good tent in the desert is much better : )
What them should we go with for our new Waterpark? Oil refinery 😂😂
17:55 Do we still say "a fourth of the route"? No quarters anymore? 😂😂
Let's ride the mechanism!!!
Good point
Hello 🌝👋
#7 - the Saudi "line" project may be energy sustainable, but what about the thousands of confused birds that will crash into the "mirror"?
Nice video for real
I hope the Line is a success. It's an awesome concept..
It would be good to speak in meters as well, the audience that you have is diverse
What’s a meter? You mean the thing I put a quarter in when I park?
@Lance Wilcoxson what most of the world uses
@@Goady1000 ok? And he’s not in the rest of the world is he?
@Lance Wilcoxson unfortunately youtube is a worldwide platform and due to the America simpletons it is hard for the advanced world to understand you
@@Goady1000 and people have the choice to watch what they want. If they want meters, they can go watch someone else. Pretty simple
The “Line” looks like hell on Earth to me. You couldn’t pay me to live inside that thing
OMG WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WITHOUT RYAN MARTIN 😱😱😱😱😱😖😣🥺😩😭😢😟😔😞
I’m assuming I offended you? If that’s the case well then good, I’m glad I did 😁😁
@@ryanmartin4574 nope you did not
People act like earth quakes don't already do enough damage.. It's just the bigger it'll fall when it does

I'm new to stock market /Crypto and would like to invest but I've go no idea on how to make good profits. Pls what's the best approach you'd recommend?
Exactly, at the moment bitcoin is the best and profitable coin to buy and invest in..
Indeed crypto is the best investment, Earning3x my salary soon I won't have to work anymore..women should start taking part in these kinds of digital investment
The only safe reliable,genuine and highly experienced expert I can refer you to is Mrs Claudia Walter's.
My first investment with Mrs Claudia Walter's, gave me a profit of 87k dollars and ever since then she has never failed to deliver and I still stand by saying she is the most sincere broker I have know
Mrs Claudia Walter's service is really good, I invested $22,000 and made a profit of $81,000 after a week. I still wonder how she gets her analysis
The Line seems insane!! Too claustrophobic
Nice video ❤
All these cool projects going on in the world, meanwhile here in the USA potholes should be our new mascot
Did you here about the earthquake
Proud to be Malaysian.. 🇲🇾
Interesting stuff, but no mention of the UK's white elephant HS2 rail project, about 100 billion £/$
It's not a mega projectv
La infraestructura de una gran y hermosa ciudad es gracias al poder del dinero pero bien invertido sebe hermoso
The largest ever infrastructure project in the history of man is the U.S. Interstate system. It has cost over 30 trillion dollars since it began in 1953. And it is still being expanded.
Thank you. 👍🏻 the Eisenhower interstate system is amazing.
There are more highways in China now
That would be true a decade ago, the Expressways system in China is more than twice the size of U.S. Interstate system now, even just China's High-speed Rail system alone will be larger than Interstate Highways before the end of the decade while America still can't finish even one High-speed Rail line, America's infrastructure was world class for a long time, but the arrogance and exceptionalism has eroded that impressive progress, after all, why would you try to learn anything from other ppl when you already automatically assume you are the best at everything
Or like : the dumbest useless ego trip projects in the universe
The line will be the equivalent to prison. Good luck🤦🏻♂️
Hi, how would I get in touch with you? Thanks! Love the content.
Corrections: Your talking to Al Jubail Island in Abu Dhabi, UAE not Al Jubail in Saudi Arabia that are two different places in two different countries.
Never knew cryptocurrency could be so challenging! Kept losing my trades and running back here on UA-cam videos to learn more about all this video but is not helpful. I need help
Who else think this crypto is kinda not easy and he/she is looking for way to start
The Line will be a total waste of money; a white elephant. I wouldn't live there for the life of me even if I was paid to live there
Thank you video interesting.
No. 10 Petronas towers and No. 9 Marina Bay Sands were built by South Korean construction companies as was Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Those are some incredible construction engineering feat. I wish they also had the technical expertise and engineering ability to design them as well rather than actually build.
In most projects, the construction contractor is not allowed to be the designer of the project. This goes back to the ethics of engineers: if the designing company made a mistake, and they were also building it, it would be possible for the designer to cover it up.
So for not having the "ability" to design the project, that's not necessary fair to say. The construction team in a company is usually completely different set of people than the design team, so the companies make an executive decision often to determine which projects they will bid for design, and which projects they will be for construction (all assuming they even have a design team at all, some don't). We really can't say if they do or do not have the technical expertise to design this, just that the company choose to bid for construction on these projects and won.
Cheap labour.
Leave Elon out of it.
Yeah especially at dinner with his family
I think buildings should be measured by the top floor they have that you can put a office in. dont count the pointy decorative top
largest manufacturing plant in the world is Volkswagen in Wolfsburg (area at just under 6.5 million m²)
Thanks for these informations.
Please, if you also include metric measurements, a large part of your audience will understand better.
**
Merci pour ces informations.
Svp, si vous indiquez également les mesures métriques, une large part de votre public comprendra mieux.
👍😁
Foreign savages need to learn how to math
Jubail Island as depicted in your images is in Abu Dhabi, UAE, not Saudi! Al Jubail is an area of Saudi.
Interesting stuff
What about the Mayan train in Mexico? It should be on this list😮
