Richard Hammond's Engineering Connections
Series 2, Hong Kong's Ocean Airport
Richard Hammond reveals the startling engineering connections behind Hong Kong's Ocean Airport, one of the busiest and biggest in the world, sited on a specially constructed island. The world's largest construction project drew inspiration from a 13th-Century Arab irrigation machine, a WWII bomber, car suspension, a bizarre Cold War spy device and a brass band, and resulted in the new gateway to Asia.
