The Airport Built To Sink - Kansai International Airport Japan -

Kansai International Airport is an engineering marvel. This airport was a watershed moment for airports like it; difficult to construct and even harder to keep above water. Kansai was featured in many documentaries and articles, however it seemed the story of its construction has been lost somewhat in the digital press (I had a hard time finding sources and footage).
This video was one of the more difficult ones to make and I only understood a few key technical aspects very late in the video's development. You may notice some of the labels in the video are slightly different from what I'm saying, that's because I got some details wrong in the script. It was too late to re-record those sections, in these cases what's on screen is (most) correct.

    I think there should close the airport down an reconstruct it instead of rising the sea wall straight.

    Can't they build a wall around the airport since it sinks?
