  • I would chose to be an engineer if I had aNother chance...

  • simply amazing!.. ♥

  • just what earth needs. another megastructure.

  • cmon ppl...as u see, Chineses and Americans were working together to build it...great things happen when we all united together.. ^^

  • I love how people are hating on each other and getting all hardcore on the internet... If you have any problem with us, chinese people, using that much steels to built that beautiful building... then why don't you invent something better and consume less steels.

    Fucking shit faces.

  • exactly

  • hey ,fucker, where r u from ?

  • Learn to fucking read dip shit... Didn't i say "If you have any problem with us, cinese people, using..." You're just a retard dude... get teh fuck out.

  • Oh.. how I love when people are being racist about a country they haven't even visited. I bet most of these people who are racist don't even have their facts straight and are only saying these things to look cool ^^ Well I just have one more thing to say... Here's to a big F U Racists!

  • I agree, I'd like to go to China someday because I hear it's a lovely country, however I really don't think it's polite for you to say something like that to people whose views are different than yours.

  • Yes. China is a lovely place. I went there last summer :)

    Yeah, I agree, sorry about that. But I just wanted to point out that some people just believe all the bad things, and never take in the good.

  • As a Chinese I would like to thank the support of a friend of China, hopes the Olympic Games to increase mutual understanding and communication. Thanks

  • Diu Kau Lei Nya Ma , tatz mean fuk ur mother

  • To people that are racists:

    WTF!! I'm chinese and do I buy these metal stuff???? When you say 'Chinese' it means you're saying ALL the Chinese people. Well, helloooo why the hell do I want to buy metal stuff when I'm barely using it for anything? Gosh, you guys are fuckin racists. You don't deserve to live at all.

  • don't be mad that china's gonna take over the world on 8/8/08...fucktards

  • lol yeah!! and we'll shut those racist comments and clean all that shyt u talk about coming out of ur mouths. wen one person makes a racist comment, it'll spread and eventually alot of people will. racism is like pollution. it can stop. but not all of us are going to be clever and stop

  • it is 8/8/08.. lollll i dont see no Chinese man taking over here...

  • don't be mad that china's gonna take over the world on 8/8/08...fucktards

  • Really you guys, this is so unfair, making racist comments about us :( I DON'T eat dogs, hamsters, rats, etc.!!!! Neither does my whole entire family! And I'm normal like you guys too, I go to KFC, McDonalds, YES, I do shower and brush my teeth daily, my parents know english, I watch TV, like Nick, Disney channel, and Cartoon Network, I like the Jonas Brothers, and when I was little I had a night light.

  • yeah im chinese too. its always other people who make racist comments about us asian people even though we don't start shit with them.

  • any1 who are making racist comments are polluted in the head wich is twice as worse =D

  • thats why metals are so expensive because china is getting all of it

  • ummm china pays for their metals.. they dont steal it... you have a problem with it go buy more metal than china..cracker..

  • arsiaamini123, of course they pay for their metals, that is the problem.

    When there is a limited supply and someone starts buying more and more of that supply, it raises the price. You don't have to be racist to understand that China and India's industrialization IS putting a strain on several markets. It's only natural.

    There was an amusing article about Indians buying more wine was collapsing Champainge since they are the only producers of their namesake.

  • wow, not too conservative about using materials for their building are they?

  • so much pollution

  • STILL not as much as America... But enough centralized to cause breathing problems for China, Korea and Japan, so I guess you can still feel morally superior to them, if you wish.

    XD

  • amazing

  • Fuckface in Iceland.

  • Welcome to Beijing to watch the Olympic Games! Welcome you to understand China. China is not North Korea, China to change, China is making progress, although there are many inadequacies, but the faith we and the people of the world friendship is not shaken.

  • how nice. they are willing to lower pollution in so many ways yet they make enough plastic to cover 20 football fields to build the ugliest building I've seen.

  • chinese noodles

  • Amazing!!!!

  • What interesting architecture. I'd love to see that.

  • the water cube was designed by australian engineers - ARUP. its a wicked piece of architecture so go do some research before u say it's a waste of steel

  • china cause food shortage and fuel shortage? USA consumes many times China's fuel consumption you dumbfuck.

  • what you said is not want we want to do

    now one family must only have a baby

    sometimes we feel lonely although we have too many people

    I feel so sad to hear that you hate us become the reason you only think about your benefit but we do not want to other country provide food for us we can feed ourselves

  • yeah. they said china cause food shortage...and they also ask why ur country allow one family could have only one baby? the population of china is 1.3 billion.they cant imagine how huge it is.. when u come to china,walking on the street, u will understand that. so please stop discussion.

  • ```````都是中国人```你用中文给我说```不是很明白­你说的  反正我英文也没好好``

  • 老大,你先用英语的.我是配合你

    你说他们一边说中国人太多导致食物能源短缺,又一边攻击计划生育­侵犯人权. 这不是逻辑混乱么?

  • wo de dian nao bu ke yi suo hua yu(wo de hua yu bu shi hen hao...dui bu qi)

  • lol Isnt the u.s hogging up all the fuel? The people of China actually WALK, and RIDE BIKES. They take buses, and taxis. They dont drive everywhere like north americans. It's actually been proven that north americans consume the most, and waste the most resources.

  • Well its a fact that the US

    is the number 1 polluter and china has many

    times its population =.=

  • Yeah china as a country polutes the most but they have 5 or 6 times the population.

  • ifrit1780- No need to bash the U.S. when you live in the 51st State.

  • China produces 90% of the world's grainery.

    Fuckface.

    America even with it's 400 million people cosumes more than China's 1 billion people.

    Do research.

    Google Earth's consumption and output.

  • China is WOW.

  • very amazing building, i wish i would be inside this building!

  • wow go ahead and waste all that steel

  • It isn't wasting, other whys they would not be building the pool.

  • they could buil it like other people and not waste so much

  • Damn Communist

  • damn racist

  • You have a mind of a strange person.

  • I really don't care anymore; China is just really starting to piss me off.

  • why's that?

  • you're starting to piss me off :)

  • that had better be recycled steel

  • Cool!

  • Such a nice place I wanna go to Beijing.

  • Yeaaa! go China! and stuff the noosy West trying to give tibet independance those r chinas matters

  • Yeah go China. To bad that 98% of the engineers and designers are NOT from china. American and British. Oh yeah, I am naked as well. Best way to type.

  • And Tibet matters.. >___> Don't forget about them. You know, since it's their freedom on the line....

  • Beijing's Olympic ~

    !! i love it!!

  • How much did it cost??

  • I bet it's really loud inside when it's raining.

  • Both the Bird Nest stadium and this swimming pool look ugly. But I really like the bird nest concept. They just have to make the buildings look nicer, that's all. And what's the point of making it retangular shape for a bubble shaped appearance?

  • my future job, muhahaha

  • made in china,lol, yeah but by foreigners

    (i know i probly spelt that wrong)

  • you actually got it right! lol.

    i just felt like responding to something

  • thumbs down,lol, i'm irish, so saying foreigners isnt a bad thing

  • this is really funny.

    Beijing's Olympic Pool is not made in china :)

  • how ironic :)

  • woah cool and intresting 19km steel!

  • Interesting, but at the same time the world could do something better with all this time and money spent.

  • could but wont, and thats life :P

  • umm...where are the Chinese people in the design phase? ?!

  • Why?

  • Olympics threat 'credible': US analyst

    group's threats to launch attacks during the Beijing Olympics are credible, a US expert said Saturday, after the group claimed credit for several recent bus bombings in China.

    In the video released this week and dated July 23, TIP leader Commander Seyfullah warned China of more explosions to come.

  • Yea stay scared. red alet red alert !!!!

  • interesting

  • Fuck the Olympics.

    While the world is on the verge of economic crisis and there is about to be perhaps another war; this is the shit we do?

    Fuck the Olympics, and definately not because of Tibet either, I do agree we should let them go if they want to go.

  • cool!!

  • Makes me want to pop that building. Bubble wrap does that to people.

  • hey cool! it's not red!

  • it will there just building the painting phase will start later...

  • It's interesting, but it's really ugly.

  • I support China through Walmart. lol

  • the olympics are ok, but boycott walmart

  • must be an honor

  • I Live for China

  • i build for china

  • i'm a fan of anything new and innovative, ..great job

  • What about bird flu?

  • communism!

  • great,use trash on your roof. . .

    it does look nice though :)

  • just beautiful i cant wait

  • Sure, this is interesting architecture.

    But a fucking waste of resources. I mean, that much plastic?

  • It's China.

  • theres not much plastic. didnt he say the thinness of the plastic is 1/8 of a penny?

  • that is probably as thick as a normal paper maybe thicker and are u crazy it obvious there alot of plastic

  • lol

  • post the NATIONAL STADIUM video.. from National G!!!

    please!

  • i saw this docu all ready the roof can hold all the warmth and cold and all that special sh*t

    so its never to cold or too warm for the swimmers

  • Awesome building!!! :D

  • What does tiger penis have to do with this vid? Can't people just watch a vid and comment about its content than veer off into some unrelated conversation?

  • r u referring to a pussy boner??? u sodistic sick fuck

  • shut up you idiot!

  • lol. Funny how most of the designers were not asians.

  • Because things involving the Olympics are international efforts. (Plus, euros rule the world, but I'm not supposed to say that.)

  • The stadium in Greece is better.

  • So what will happen to it AFTER the Olympics is over with ?

  • Lol I had that same question in mind.

  • 55hosers, China doesn't have slavery. Are you still living in the 19th century? Yes, China is polluted. What city in this world isn't? Who made the animals extinct? Are you sure it's the Chinese or the Western people? Besides, Japan, Denmark, Canada and the European countries kill sea creatures like Sharks, whales, Seals, etc. Hmm, elephants and Rhinos, China didn't make them endangered sweety, the West did and Americans.

  • Hey, before you twist your facts, do a little research and educate yourself before you criticize another country. What's your nationality? White? Because I'm sure I can name things your people have done a lot worse. So why be the hypocrite? Since you have a strong hate against Chinese, you mind as well stop using their inventions and things made in China.

    China doesn't deserve the olympic? If that's how you feel, then you're saying China doesn't derserve to bring diversity in this world.

  • So you imply I am a racist just because I despise some cultural norms of the Chinese people such as killing tigers for their penis. Where did I say I hate chinese people, yes, of course I must be a racist if I don't say loving things about you. Instead of trying to justify and defend the barbaric practices of using animal parts for "medical reasons" you should be denouncing this as well. And the pollution in chinese cities is some of the worst in the world, don't try and compare it to the west.

  • FYI..the United States is the #1 polluter in the world. I agree China doesn't deserve the Olympics but look at what it has done. Its exposed these problems and hopefully they will take steps to correct them.

  • They dont eat tiger penis. Its just to impress the customers. They dont actually serve it. Tigers are endagered species they wouldnt do that. They USED to have child labor but not now its different. Get the facts right dude before you make a comment next time.

  • You're stupid, of course they still use tiger penis ...and bear gall bladders, shark fins, elephant tusks, the list is endless. So your saying this is to impress customers? Thats even more disgusting. They kill these endangered animals so they can make a quick buck? Thats one more reason China does not deserve the olympics.

    btw, have you seen some youtube videos of zoos in china? They are deplorable, people throwing things at the animals, poking them with sticks, caging 30 bears up in a one pen

  • Have you been to China?

  • yes

  • western people dont kill animals for money? bear paws, bear and cat hides, ivory from tusks, rino horns, etc they only exist in China? thats new.

  • Uh, The government doesnt kill the animals. The people do. The government is continuing trying to shut down places that do abuse animals, but the problem is that, theres too many.

  • You mother fuckers uses elephant tusks as piano keys.

    Shut the fuck up.

  • I didn't see any kids working at that construction site. lol

    And if you were to say that being mean or polluting was enough of a reason to not "deserve" the Olympics... Well, what country in the world would deserve it?!

    XD lol

  • Every country has a dark side to it. They all just show their good side out to the world. I'm sure you can find out many many horrible and cruel things other nations has done.

  • absolutely, ur a smart person. if anything about -isms and individualities, we are all people and there good and bad, innocent and guilty on all sides and to disagree is just ignorant of common human nature.

  • ... Is this really stable?

  • did you see the steel....

  • They built this so Phelps can come and pwn the shit out of them in their own country.

  • lmfao

  • that was interesting

  • wow thats wierd

  • That is so impressive!

  • im going to be one of them!!!!!

  • Really cool design - looks very organic.

  • even with the music (oh so cool) this was BORING

  • Get's sharp needle and prods wall? :D!

  • AMAZING

  • ahahaha. How the hell does racism always end up in youtube comment sections. Man. lol. Useless assholes.

  • Nice building

  • amazing structure

  • Buckminster Fuller would flip out if he saw this!

  • and hey SuperFuck,,,,i am complimented you spend so many of your waking hours commenting to me....i can see why you don't work or take care of your family. another white trash wimp with a lil' tiny weenie and no balls....sad sad sad. Kevork's book would be perfect ferya....

  • lmao

    is saying

    "first" "second" "third"

    the best thing you've done with your lives..?

    seriously lol

    psycho1996 your a bitch lol....

  • They probably think it will make them famous one day.

  • omg second!! ( sarcasm)

  • Actually if you watched the entire vid, you'd see it was mostly Caucasians who designed this. Racists and bigots... ALWAYS one step behind... imagine that.

  • TestChimps, yes Caucasians designed this, but they didn't build it. Besides, the money to build this comes from the Chinese government.

  • What does that have to do with it, though?

    If you were to say that the building is incredible, would you be complimenting the people who designed it or the people who funded it? If I said your baby was adorible would you say "Well, thank the clinic for that. They are the ones who delievered her."?

  • thats so rude.

    chinks and japs, how dare you.

    try the Chinese and Japanese.

    i just checked what country you are from and it said Niue or something. what the heck is that?

  • SORRY! was in a hurry this am....geez. and if you are another i say ANOTHER AMERICAN DUMB ASS then go to your local library and look up Niue on an atlas....did your public school at least each you what that is? sad sad how uneducated you Americans are....truly truly amazing!!!!!no wonder Hitler runs your cuntry!
