    Saudi Arabia tends to have a tradition of ambitious projects that fail due to various reasons.

    It was too ambitious and the economy wasn’t able to make it happen. Still other projects such as Riyadh Metro were successful.

      I was being recruited on to work on that project and I worked with some engineers who ended up working on it.

      Right? It was self-evidently a grift, yet “serious” bourgeois rags like FT pretend otherwise.

    A vast desert complex is better built underground. There are some nice funnel-formed concepts around.

    The people who did 9/11 tried to build a horizontal skyscraper because they just love to see those things on the ground. Fuck Saudi Arabia. I’m glad it’s failing

      People believe this shit and it is wild. Osama Bin Laden was opposed to the Saudi government and living in exile having had his citizenship revoked many years before 2001 while he was still working with the CIA stirring shit up in Central Asia.
