Most Expensive Construction Mistakes in the World

Stop building glass skyscrapers. They're bird killers and obviously a source of global warming.

Blame the Design team 😆

Back in the '80s there was an unfinished 40-something story vacant hotel building down the street from our offices in Saudi Arabia. We were informed it was unfinished because it had no provisions for bathrooms (!)

I had no idea there were lizards like that in Germany.

I always figured a large building on stilts like that must be the safest building in the world because it's foundation. Whoops. Does look cool, though.

Very Good and informative

No it's not always the case Saudi have sqaunderd billions on dreams that sit idol in the sand Der rag trade eh cuz wots that on ya head rag trade cuz I'm a abibubie prince oh I'm a king of town my town and ur still just a Rago head Saudi so beat that ragie

Number 3 is your daily dose of anxiety

you wasted your time to get here? what a ni-

Interesting video!

The Line

Military Budgets: Bah. Chump change.

Don't forget the leaning tower of SF

Never heard of a skyscraper getting topple down by a wind. I don't undermine the power of the wind but civil engineers seems intentionally raise false alarm/flags about none existing future problems of buildings so that they can milk the construction industry of repair and maintenance contracts based on a lies. Just a shame the world we live in.

Now, what happen to the Jeddah Tower ? Anybody ?

Well I agree its absolutely the ugliest building ie ever seen.

Hot in London 😂😂😂 don’t stay that long so stop complaining 😂😂😂😂

2025?? my prediction is maybe in 2033.

Tomerdingen rules ❤️💪😄

when you new that initially you didn't provide any information and that is how there is no response so when u know there is going yo be failed project because you had design in that manner and others are passed project because they had been in to it so please your 1 year Finnish and your still coward make a move kill me because i am failed project as design or let me live and dont do sp any how at the end your going to get db so if u need urgently then do it coward or get lost

I was expecting the HS2 high speed rail link to be number 1 on the list. A rail link that has destroyed ancient woodland and nature reserves, and will only save a few minutes on the current journey. Estimates now say it's going to cost £200 Billion to construct it... that's about $300 Billion!

change that voice

Why are the architects not held criminally liable for deliberately creating these flaws?

Yikes.

I wonder what it says about Germany and its government that two of the failures on this list are from that country. But going forward, i expect some of the most expensive and ridiculous failures ever to come from Saudi Arabia. Neom, Oxagon, that weird ski village, etc. None of this will ever be completed.

Ngl in the thumbnail he dust copied 2 images

the truth of stuttgart 21 is that they placed large parts underground to make space for high price housing speculations. its basicly pure corruption and some people are getting insanely rich by this while the new trainstation has actual less trainrails as the one before. saving time my ass.

1. I love that building (walkie- talkie) I think it’s one of the best looking buildings in London
3. That midtown building, I would never have guessed that was from 1978

Witch frying eggs due to the curvature of a building, was the funny side of such mistakes. A parabolic mirror of 10 meters or 3 feet in diameter can focus sunlight up to the melting point of steel. They did a great job not mentioning the highest possible temperatures such architecture is able to produce.

All that effort won't stop German trains to be constantly late 😂

It's amazing that people were able to build skyscrapers in the late 1800s.

I wish I could get a fraction of the wasted money from each of these screw ups.

I remember in my surveying class, I was off by 22 feet😂😂

Dont trust odd shapes

Millenium Tower needs a mention

How does any modern architect not consider the effects of curved glass walls? They do know how light works right?

hair brush

once apone a time…. germany was a lighthouse in construction. greets from south-western germany. 1 car hour from Stuttgart 21 🍀

In my fictional world, all this project already finished and successful

That Jetta is 252 meters . 2 times taller than the Empire State Building in New York City. What is the point? What do you get from building the most dangerous buildings in the world?

Sad and hilarious

Number three. I called the lollipop building. The structural engineer fail big time to calculate the diagonal wind impact

Jeddah tower maybe can stand

The way he said studdguard

What's the most expensive construction mistake that has happened in your country? 👇🤓
