Impossible Engineering
Kansai Airport
Season 1 Episode 4 of 6
The construction of Kansai International Airport upon the largest man-made island in the world, in Osaka Bay, Japan. Pioneering innovators from the past such as Pierre Danel, who developed a system against the pounding sea, and 19th-century mechanic Richard Dudgeon made the project possible. The development of airports including Berlin's Tempelhof Airport and London's Croydon Airport are also explored to reveal how engineers attempted this feat of engineering.
