How China Built an Impossible Airport on Top of 7 Demolished Mountains
"How China Built an Impossible Airport on Top of 7 Demolished Mountains" Six years ago, seven mountains stood on this ridge in China. Today, a 2,600-meter runway sits in their place, ending in a sheer 1,200-meter drop into one of the country's deepest gorges. In this video, we break down exactly how engineers demolished seven mountains, discovered 40 hidden caves inside solid rock, drove 340 concrete piles 67 meters to bedrock, and moved 40 million cubic meters of material, roughly 15 Great Pyramids worth, across four uninterrupted years of drilling, blasting, and building, to turn a five-hour mountain road into a 45-minute flight. Watch until the end to see how this impossible mountaintop airport went from solid rock to a fully operational runway, and why the workers who tore the mountain down reportedly cried at its opening.
