Cool - thanks for sharing. I can only marvel at these sort of projects. Hell, I can't imagine how a skyscraper is built or stays up, let alone this type of thing. Awesome.

Do you guys think they will continue with the Nicaraguan canal project?

That's a good question! I will have to do a little studying/research on that one...what do you think?

I think they will have a hard time finding the investors and that China does not want to bankroll it all.

Not to mention the "environmental impact, as Lake Nicaragua is Central America's key freshwater reservoir". As our population increases, fresh water is so vitally important...I wonder if the economic benefit from it is really worth it...
