In this FactNexus video, we're exploring some of the most expensive and catastrophic engineering failures in history. From towering skyscrapers left abandoned to ghost towns that never came to life, these disasters show how ambition, mismanagement, and unforeseen challenges can lead to monumental financial losses. These five engineering projects were meant to be revolutionary but instead became cautionary tales of what can go wrong when things don't go as planned.

The Golden 117 disaster in China is the world's tallest abandoned building, standing at a staggering 1,957 feet. Originally designed to be a luxury skyscraper, it was abandoned due to violating height regulations. The building now holds the unfortunate title of the tallest ghost building on Earth.

Next, we look at the Gao Liu Bridge collapse in Taiwan. Intended to connect remote villages and boost the local economy, this bridge was destroyed by earthquakes in 2022. The lack of seismic precautions and cost-cutting measures led to its downfall, turning it into a symbol of financial waste.

The Newk Gate Power Plant was set to revolutionize energy production in South Carolina, but poor planning and design flaws led to its collapse. Despite billions of dollars spent, the reactors failed to produce any electricity, becoming one of the largest financial disasters in energy history.

China’s Yujiapu Financial District was planned as the "Manhattan of the East," but high prices and poor infrastructure left it a ghost city. Meant to be a financial hub, it now stands abandoned, with skyscrapers decaying and the district becoming an empty shell of its original vision.

Finally, Forest City in Malaysia was a $100 billion real estate project meant to be a luxury haven. However, after restrictions on overseas investments were imposed, the city became a ghost town, with only a fraction of its population living there. This ambitious project is now a prime example of real estate failure on a massive scale.
