CHINA BUILT A 60-STORY ELEVATOR… FOR SHIPS
At the Goupitan Dam, engineers looked at a 199-meter wall of rock and said: “Let’s launch ships over it like it’s no big deal.”
This monster lift hauls 3,000-ton vessels like it’s nothing – no locks, no waiting, just 30 minutes straight to the top.
Why zigzag around a dam when you can ascend?
Terrain said “impossible.” The engineers said “hold my blueprint.”
