Bridges, dams, buildings, and highways. It’s easy to walk by any of these and appreciate their beauty, but most of us aren’t going to appreciate or even understand the amount of planning, labor, and architectural design that went into some of these modern marvels. So join us for today’s video, as take a look at the top 15 most incredible feats of engineering.

saleforce tower details are not true
#9 is not an engineering marvel. It's reverse engineering and very unimpressive. Put an excavator on a boat and chip away at the damn. Clearly a bias addition to this list. #6 Talks about the environmental impact but states nothing about how it creates billions of Kwatts of energy with zero carbon. You can not win with these environmentalist, anything humans do is evil in their eyes.
The i-90 floating bridge in washington just south of the sr-520 bridge is way more impressing. 4 lanes eachway and now a light rail nearing completion in-between the eat/wastbound bridges that connected the 2 sides. I drive both every week depending on traffic and the i-90 floating bridge is cooler to me.
They are marvels.In time,marvels will need repairs,Etc..This is Life.
I am an engineer.
80,000 miles of cable
You guys have no idea about off-shore oil rigs…
Title should say American Engineering Marvels LOL
So many wrong facts in here. Lazy people. Get a real job.
Chrysler building’s design is easily one of the top 3 iconic architectural accomplishments of the twentieth century.
Title should be 15 Insane Engineering Marvels in USA
Salesforce tower is not 1070m tall but 326 m tall which is 1070 ft
We all agree westerns are the makers of artificial world(habitat). That's what they built in early century, despite culture…
You missed CERN and Milleau Viaduct, surely two of the most impressive engineering projests
Interesting video narrated with a stupid voice
Wow basically downs the China damn and points out its bad points then right after ofcore use damn is so goldy in statue and was so hard people died there to and fucked up the life in that water to
Too much concrete. Clever but the co2!
The salesforce tower is 1070 FEET tall, not meters. If it was 1070 meters tall it would be the first skyscraper over a kilometer tall and would be abt 600 feet higher than the Burj Khalifa
The 3 Gorges Dam is an environmental disaster.
The vid should have mentioned that the 3 Gorges dam is already falling apart….and BTW the Salesforce Tower in SF is 1070 FEET tall (326 meters) . The vid displays the number of feet as meters, and then converts THAT figure to feet, so it shows 3510 feet. Compound error! lol
We haven't quite gotten to buildings that are a km high, yet, but what interests me is…How did the producers of this vid miss that? lol
There are several bridges that are longer than the Bay, or the Golden Gate. Some are in the U.S., but the longest are not.
I'm an American, but videos like this embarrass me because they disproportionately highlight U.S. accomplishments when greater feats exist outside the U.S.
