Or…you know…Project Chariot
Project Chariot - Wikipedia

I remember watching a documentary on the Panama canal. (Long time ago)

But I remember the take away was.

  • It cost like 100x more than was estimated.
  • Not like twice or 3 times. But like 100x. (I’m probably wrong about this number but you get what I’m saying).

    And that a ln incredibly large number of people died to make it.

    And that exploited labor was used.

    I think a lot died from malaria.

    And the Panama canal is like just south of the U.S. Same continent.

    Not that challenging to get to compared to the middle east.

    There is no way in hell another project like that could be under taken in a war zone , on the other side of the planet.

    DuPont got even more rich selling dynamite to build it.
