I believe there's a American site where you can do a all-voice interview. If you're able to recite parts of this documentary with the same accent and feeling, you've got yourself a Green card.

Must suck to live in the apartments by the old hong kong airport

[TheFTC1]

[sethliunz]

so horrible to hear the american accent.. yuk!

[jethromayham]

Go ask Hamas to stop the random rocket barrage on Israel. Go ask Hamas to stop asking for the destruction of Israel. So don't complaining!

It's all 7s...

They were given 7 years to build it

It took 7 hours to move all crew to the new airport

The current Hong Kong airport has runways 7L and 7R :P

[GoPensGo377]

@1288881 why?

[1288881]

@GoPensGo377 becuz kai tak was an dangerous but wonderful airport

[GoPensGo377]

@1288881 It was a sight but it was hell if you are like me that actually had to experience it frequently.

[MarsHarmony]

Thank you for sharing this amazing story on video.

[RoniCMaster]

When the Chinese wanna build something, they make it big, real big.

[billywongting]

@RoniCMaster

Actually this project is planned by Britain and not Chinese

[1983hamutaro]

@RoniCMaster

sorry sir , the airport is proposed by the British

[canman5060]

The good old Kai Tak. I missed you.

[adrianroam95]

god..they're not super highways, just regular freeways.

[luckydog400]

i miss kai tak still they should have made it domestic airport

[441meatloaf]

no they cant. The buildings around it are getting taller.

[asharwin930]

@luckydog400 it cant cuz hong kong isnt actually directly connected the china, all flights are international, even the ones from hong kong to guangzhou

[1288881]

[ryansuen]

Proud to have a Hk ID :D...

[bored1980]

Interesting video, but a dreadful over-the-top narrator.

[angeloryan21]

[purplefacenagger]

W00t for landfill and blowing up mountains

[DeeeDarkWalker]

thx for the post ..its just amazing

[ninjaman639]

it must be dangerous living near kai tak during the 80's

[applesweeter]

@ninjaman639

Yes, it is. As a citizen in Hong Kong living near victoria habour, I am so lucky that no accident caused a jet entering in to my home.

(Just a humour. If a jet enter my home during dinner home, I do not have enough food to serve all passengers)

[Avantime]

That was 10 years ago lol

[long11long]

i feel proud to be a HK citizen who are working in this airport now, thanks to those people who have been working on this big big project

[Apps98]

@long11long I love HKIA! I'll be there in 12 days...can't wait!

[groovingsoul]

Absolutely Colossal beauty and on a personal note,I feel proud that I took part on its Building process......
