1. I would like to join in your organisation.
2. THE CREATOR WAS BLESSED BY MY GOD ALLAH. MASHAALLAH
3. I think this the 8th wonder of the world. I have visited this site when is constructed. I wondered ever. Good job done by the engineers. Great. I hats off.
4. @kapiteinbier Dude...REALLY????? If your insulted by my lack of knowledge about how those things are engineered then you have a major issues!! I NEVER said anything insulting, I NEVER made any rude remarks...I was expressing a concern over the hum,an populus that in habits that place. I'd hate to see any type of tragedy happen to thousands of people because of unforseen forces of nature. I happen to think that dredging system is interesting to watch. You kind of insulted me with your reply. 
5. @cnote4461 And what do you think a 'normal' continent would be made of? Obviously the edges of the palm island is protected whith wave breakers made of rock. Your comment is nearly an insult of Dutch engineering!! ;-) We are the best dredgers and land reclaimers in the world. We 've spent the last 500 years fighting water and creating polders. Only once we had a major flooding (1953).
6. Dubai is a place I'd like to visit - but something tells me that in time, that whole man-made city will be washed underwater by some freak Tsunami. It creeps me just a little to see something that huge sitting in the middle of the water, knowing it's all made of sand and dirt. 
7. can we go there for free ,since the american tax payers send Dubai 500 million a year?
8. lol at 20 seconds those little dessert mcmansions
9. i'll be studying civil engineering next year, and these projects are the main reason :) would love to work on one of those
10. you live in Dubai?
11. Nice work !!!
12. There's a lot of rock and sand inland, at Dubai. But its a massively wasteful and environmentally damaging method, and will die if the sea levels rise even a small amount... unless even more is spent building perimeter dykes.
13. Holy shit.. who came up with this cool idea!?
14. Thats the 8th wonder =D
