$20 Billion Floating airport in Japan is now Sinking

Description
Kansai International Airport, Japan's ambitious marvel built in the sea, stands as both an engineering feat and a testament to human fallibility. Initially lauded for its innovation, it now faces a daunting reality: sinking at an alarming rate due to construction errors. Despite its strategic location offshore, chosen to address land scarcity and noise concerns, the project's complications ballooned costs and compromised stability. Despite ongoing efforts to mitigate sinking, including elevation adjustments and hydraulic reinforcement, doubts persist over its long-term viability. While Japan's resilience in the face of natural disasters is commendable, the fate of Kansai International Airport remains uncertain, leaving questions lingering about its future amid rising tides and financial burdens.
