Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

An airport built on a man-made island? The Kansai International Airport is just that -- an island built to provide the space for an airport - an engineering marvel. Forty-one aircraft can park at the immense terminal - the only man-made structure other than the Great Wall of China visible from space. The only problem is that this amazing airport is slowly sinking!

I am a very big fan of just about anything dealing with this and other related subjects and I can tell u i enjoyed watching this hour long video on one of the worlds most magnificent airports. The detail that they go into on its construction is great and with all the areial shots of the airport and the airlinse that use it it makes me want to sit and watch it over every time. I hope someday to visit not so much as to visit the city of Osaka but just to see this marvel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly A "Super Structure": Kansai International Airport!, October 29, 2003

This review is from: Super Structures of the World: Kansai International Airport [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This 52-minute video documents the fascinating story of Kansai International Airport in Osaka, Japan.

Built on a man-made island (constructed solely for the purpose of providing space for an airport), Kansai International is truly an amazing engineering achievement. Unfortunately, as revealed in this program, the airport is now slowly sinking into the ocean beneath it!

This program gives the viewer a rare insight into the construction of this massive airport, as well as a glimpse at some of the airlines and widebodied jetliners that have served it since the facility opened in 1994.

This review is from: Super Structures of the World: Kansai International Airport [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I enjoyed this documentary on the Discovery Channel. It is an example of a good idea that needed so many 'work-arounds' to complete that it became borderline absurd. I've worked on Systems development projects that had similar chemistry. We started with what we believed to be a solid concept and requirements to accomplish major programming work. As we progressed, just like the airport effort, we had to add unplanned steps and tasks that added seemingly endless difficulty to the successful (? a matter of opinion) completion of the project. I'm sorry this isn't available on VHS or DVD. The corporate world could take a lesson - or give one.)
