  • most stupid idea ever

  • It's all fantastic and futuristic, but when are some ACTUAL PHOTOS OF THE TOWERS BEING PUT IN PLACE, AND THE SUSPENSION CABLES ATTACHED, AND THE START OF THE BUILDING OF THE ROADWAYS TAKING PLACE????

    ALL OF THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE STARTED 12/23/09, BUT A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, I SEE NOTHING, IT IS ONE BIG MASSIVE FRAUD.

  • coming out of the tunnel and seeing the bridge will be incredible
