- drader, on 04/03/2008, -0/+21dugg for the big digg...
- Javaman74, on 04/03/2008, -1/+15Great collection. Minor design issue/preference, put the description before each set of pictures, so as I'm scrolling I know what I'm looking at. Picky, I know, and still dugg for some very cool pictures.
- inactive, on 04/03/2008, -1/+13That bridge is unreal. I wonder how many people jump from it every year...
- doshindude, on 04/03/2008, -3/+15the Big Dig is in no way an Engineering Wonder........more like the biggest engineering blunder ever constructed.
15 Billion bucks, for what? - bigbill780, on 04/03/2008, -0/+10I live in Boston and the big dig is actually a huge improvement. It takes all the highway systems going through the city (93 north and south) and routes them underground. The newly opened space is now being used for parks. Im not saying that they didnt ***** up royally, but I am enjoying the finished product.
- esbern1, on 04/03/2008, -0/+10no large hadron collider? this list fails.
- Catbert107, on 04/03/2008, -0/+8Look at the comments, they're from 2007. This has been posted multiple times
- Q8ball, on 04/03/2008, -0/+6I mean, are we serious.... http://digg.com/design/7_Engineering_Wonders_of_th ...
Is it bad I thought this was a duplicate just from article name recognition - BarrettAnderson, on 04/03/2008, -0/+5Dugg for being all on one page.
- Zarokima, on 04/03/2008, -0/+5I don't know, but I bet they have a ton of fun before they hit the ground!
- inactive, on 04/03/2008, -5/+9Another good collection from Weburbanist, keep up the good work.
- craven005, on 04/03/2008, -0/+4Seems to me that the Millau Viaduct bridge is a little big when compared to the width of the river it's spanning.
- andycr512, on 04/03/2008, -0/+4I used to go to Boston about twice a year. Every time I went, you had to go a completely different route to get to the same place and it looked completely different (and completely unfinished) each and every time.
- CTK14A, on 04/03/2008, -1/+4A little under a kilometer (~818 m), actually, but still pretty ***** big. You're thinking of the proposed tower in Jeddah.
- lgadling, on 04/03/2008, -0/+3Is it bad I thought this comment was a duplicate from the one above this just from recognition
- expert01, on 04/03/2008, -0/+3Strange, I first thought it was a duplicate when I opened the article and the link was colored as visited.

- castevens, on 04/03/2008, -0/+2Just because it's not as physically amazing as the French bridge doesn't mean that it wasn't harder to build than the French bridge. You can't see the Big Dig, because it's under ground, under water, over subways, under subways, over powerlines, under gas lines, built in soil that is unstable, around building bases, through building bases, and all built in areas that can't get big shipments (aka built on site).
- Lrick1, on 04/03/2008, -0/+2the real deal is its not about the river but more about connecting 2 pieces of highway each ending on a mountain. To get to the other side, you used to have to drive through a 500 people town, down in the valley, which cost about 1 extra hour...
- onlinemoniker, on 04/03/2008, -0/+2that bridge scares the ***** out of me.
- BetterOffEd, on 04/03/2008, -1/+3I see what you did there.
- BetterOffEd, on 04/03/2008, -0/+2Where's New Orleans on this list?
- cr4wl3r, on 04/03/2008, -0/+2they are/were and so recently (i think feb.) the governor (deval patrick) just said something to the effect of "***** it lets just say they're done."
all of the major work has been completed. - MacEnvy, on 04/03/2008, -0/+1Not unless you work for the Pentagon ... or if your deranged netadmin fantasizes that he works for the Pentagon. Seriously, the guy would have to be a HUGE dick to get you fired for rerouting your IP traffic. And how the hell would he know, unless he keeps a list of common proxy servers and continuously checks outgoing traffic against the list?
- 89vision, on 04/03/2008, -1/+2good way to get fired.
- MacEnvy, on 04/03/2008, -2/+3Proxies FTW.
- seabass341, on 04/03/2008, -0/+1?
- 89vision, on 04/03/2008, -0/+1The company I work for does silly things sometimes.
- Cebo, on 04/03/2008, -0/+1Forget about engineering wonders, how about you start with simple things... like the metric system.
- Totov, on 04/03/2008, -0/+1Go out in style, huh?
- castevens, on 04/03/2008, -0/+1I live in Boston, and I can tell you that the Big Dig(g), despite the scandal and errors, was an engineering masterpiece. Come back, now that it is done (and the Ted Williams Tunnel is back operational after the ceiling collapse). I know it took forever, but that is because certain politicos didn't want to make temporary South Station platforms so they had to dig(g) the I-90 tunnel UNDER the 10 railways with working trains, in wet and unstable soil, and under the Fort Point Channel at the same time. So they froze the ground and tunneled under that using techniques invented right here in Boston.
Engineering-wise, it is a masterpiece. Politically and socially, it sucks. Cutting down the trip from Plymouth to Logan from 1.5 hours to 45 minutes = great. - inactive, on 04/03/2008, -1/+2No Burj Dubai? The thing is a mile high
- stackered, on 04/03/2008, -0/+1No Dubai?
- ElBeh, on 04/03/2008, -0/+1Ugh, those rarely work and if you ever get one that does work then it's probably too much of a hassle.
- rz8472, on 04/03/2008, -0/+1Nothing from Dubai = Epic Bucket of Fail.
- inactive, on 04/03/2008, -0/+1*loading
/not - alvarezg, on 04/05/2008, -0/+1At the other extreme I propose the New Orleans dirt levees. A primitive, under-engineered, non-performing system built by the (former) wealthiest country on earth. A real incompetence tour-de-force. Compare and be shamed.
- DDDavinnn, on 04/03/2008, -1/+2I read "...Wonders of the ModeM World." I thought it was a fancy name for the internet.
- john2kx, on 04/03/2008, -2/+3the big dig is an "engineering wonder"? LOL.
- fieldhockey44, on 04/03/2008, -0/+1The whole city of Dubai should count as the #1 engineering feat
- bourbonandcoke2, on 04/03/2008, -0/+1That site is poorly designed.
- Kali075, on 04/03/2008, -0/+1As a Bostonian, I have the say the only unbelievable thing about the Big Dig is the ridiculous amount of time and money that was wasted on it.
- TangentThought, on 04/03/2008, -1/+1I can't even fathom at how these things are even built.
- jasonsalas, on 04/03/2008, -1/+1there's a building (a bank?) in downtown Seattle that I narrows towards the bottom and is fairly thin at ground-level...amazing considering it's a high-rise.
- thallium205, on 04/03/2008, -1/+1At least there would be no chance of survival jumping off of that bridge...
- Z06Nick, on 04/03/2008, -0/+0Buried for being the third time I have seen this in top stories
- mattwalton56, on 04/03/2008, -1/+1Don't say doin' your wife, don't say doin' your wife, don't say doin' your wife......Doin' your....son?
- lead2thehead, on 04/03/2008, -1/+1The BIG DIG??? The only thing amazing about it is that it hasn't collapsed yet.
- digidelia, on 04/03/2008, -1/+1so they actually finished it?
