    The style of the documentary reminds me of the Hong Kong MTR "Underground Iron". Such a nostalgic throwback to the 1980's.

      There was a reason for that.
      Remember the nicolle highway collaspe?
      Ever since that incident, it will take a longer time of 4-5 years to complete a stage unlike last time.
      The disaster changed the way we built. Propably alot red tapes that needs to go through.
      We are more slow and cautious and need to check and accertain that things are built safely
