Richard Hammond's Engineering Connections (Taipei Tower ep)

Richard Hammond travels to Taipei and discovers the secrets of one of the world's tallest buildings, Taipei 101, in this episode of "Richard Hammond's Engineering Connections" to be shown on National Geographic UK on Mon 15th September, 9pm.

This modern marvel of engineering stands at a jaw dropping 1671 feet and is built right next to a seismic fault line, in a typhoon hotspot. Just what does this amazing building have in common with a bird cage, bamboo, racing yachts, sports cars and seat belts?

I wonder if the dampers on the big yellow ball are designed by Ferrari, computer controlled and filled with ferro- magnetic fluid? :)
