Description
Engineers filled coal-mine pits 100 metres deep before a single wall of the new Istanbul Airport could rise. This is how Turkey built the world's largest terminal in 42 months flat. Five months later, they moved the entire airport in a single weekend. At least 52 workers never saw it finished.
