      The construction of the Hoover Dam did feature in the television series: Seven Wonders of the Industrial World






      At the height of the depression of the 1930s, poverty-stricken workers on the dam, earning just a few dollars a day, died from horrific explosions, carbon monoxide poisoning and heat exhaustion as it slowly came to fruition. The chief engineer, Frank Crowe, did nevertheless get it built ahead of schedule and under budget - notching up one more extraordinary piece of evidence for the ingenuity and tenacity of man.

        Itaipu > Hoover, for looks anyway.

            It's a slab of concrete.

                Can that thing actually be built?

                That is going to be the scariest statue of them all

                Isn't it some fat guy? They want to make a skyscraper sized fat guy?

                      Hoover Dam is more impressive if you drive across it

                      you just have to wait in traffic

                      inside the building is a topographical map of the whole water shed system...now the water shed sysytem is more of a wonder

                        "Replace the Hoover Dam with the Three Gorges Dam"

                        The transportation costs would be enormous and it might not fit.

                          It's amazing that no one thought about that pun before Lancer did.

                            I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                                I have an idea. Why don't you start some kind of pro-toilet campaign?
