Have
you seen the Sydney Opera House? When you look at it, you just know
what it is and where it is. It is a symbol of Australia and is totally
unique. But, did you know that it took 14 years to build? It
wasn't because the workers were slow. It was because no one could
figure out how to build that unique roof. The bottom of the structure
was finished but it took years and lots of engineers to figure out how
to do the roof. It was well worth the wait as it is now one of the
most recognized buildings in the world. Find out about this and other
engineering feats and failures that are sure to surprise you! |
