        Why wouldn't they? KIX and the Chunnel were groundbreaking and important achievements in their respective categories...

          Seems like someone didn't get the sarcasm.

          In plain language: the list is so painfully yankeecentric it's embarrassing.

            Any list of great achievements in the 20th century is bound to be America-centric. We spent the American Century dominating in all areas while you dumb****s were busy slaughtering each other...

              Do they even have Belgian engineers?

                Any list that does not include the Dutch Delta Works is a joke and that's my final word.

                      Must suck to be from a country so devoid of engineering achievements that you have to latch onto something the Dutch did...

                          They wouldn't even have to build the dams if they were smart enough to live about sea level.
