    Ive watched that particular show so many times....and i agree...its very impressive to how they did this...im filipino and when some of my family went back to the philippines back in 03, one of their connection flights were from i believe LA to Hong Kong, Kansai...they didnt get to check much of it out mainly cuz everything was all calmed down since they arrived in the middle of the night but i was told it was pretty big...but yea, that show comes on all the time....but its easy to get interested in stuff like this when your dad builds engines for an airline company...

    And they had to do it in 7 years, before Britain handed back Hong Kong to the China. Amazing.
