Extreme Engineering - Hong Kong's Cable Car Documentary Extreme Engineering was a documentary television series that aired on the Discovery Channel and the Science Channel. The program featured futuristic and ongoing engineering projects. The series' last season aired in July 2011. Danny Forster first hosted the series in season 4 and has been the host since season 6. Origins of the show: Engineering the Impossible was a 2-hour special, created and written by Alan Lindgren and produced by Powderhouse Productions for the Discovery Channel. It focused on three incredible, yet physically possible, engineering projects: the nine mile (14 km)-long Gibraltar Bridge, the 170-story Millennium Tower and the 4000+-foot-long Freedom Ship. This program won the Beijing International Science Film Festival Silver Award, and earned Discovery's second-highest weeknight rating for 2002. After the success of this program, Discovery commissioned Powderhouse to produce the first season of the 10-part series, Extreme Engineering, whose episodes were written by Alan Lindgren, Ed Fields and several other Powderhouse writer-producers. Like Engineering the Impossible, the first season of Extreme Engineering focused on extreme projects of the future. Season 2 (and all seasons since) featured projects already in construction around the world. "Hong Kong's Cable Car" is the 3rd episode in season 3 of this series

"But less towers mean each must carry a heavier load."
LESS towers? Really? REALLY?
FEWER towers you idiots. -
Who cares about some darn manmade deadlines. Just take your freaking time and do it right. SAFETY PERIOD.

Thank god we have this Ngong Ping 360 built by the Swiss professionals and not some lowest bidders from Mainland China. Otherwise we may have a "Cable Car" working with the cable above and cars on ground.

This series is much interesting than I expected. Seeing the cable car built here in Hong Kong, I have never imagined the cable car would require a Swiss professional construction team.
