F117 nighthawk stealth bomber: roughly 200 million each nuclear sub, just about 250 million, + reffiling expenses the swiss alps tunnel, over 300 million no idea on 12 and 11 taipei tower: 420 million particle accelerator: well over 500 million, not up to 600 though no idea on the bridge foton particle accelerator: 600 million to build, discharges about 50k with each foton discharge oilducts: dunno, but they make up for their cost aircraft carrier: price nearing 1 billion $, carrying lots n lots of multi million $ planes tunnel between france and britain: 1.2 billion building, + yearly 20 million for maitenance hell if i know what 2&3 are, but 2 is a water-power generator and number 1 is the international space station, cost almost 5 billion to get it going, and it costs millions every month to sustain it

particle accelerator: well over 500 million, not up to 600 though GTR2addict

It was the LHC. And the total cost of the project is expected to be 3.2–6.4 billion Euros.

I hope your kidding cause your guesses are way off.. A Nighthawk (out of commission no longer built or flown) are roughly 600 million, and the B-2 Spirits coast way more at a humble 1.4 billion a pop. A nuclear Sub goes for about 800 million., As for the rest Im not sure the only things that I quoted I know because Im an Airforce aircraft technician and my friend is a seaman on a nuclear submarine. There are alot of things more expensive than what was listed.

That isnt Taipei 101. Thats Burj Dubai in, Dubai. Also, thats no ordinary particle accelerator, its the LHC which costs about 3.2-6.4 billion euros. A Nimitz class aircraft carrier costs about 4.5 billion each. Where are you getting your numbers from?

Ignoring the fact that it was built on the site of an old particle accelerator and so uses the same tunnel and the same super computers

I'm only posting the ones I know for sure.

15: It's a B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber. Back in 1997, each of these aircraft would have cost about $737 million. Development, spare parts, and facilities B-2 Spirit would have cost $2.1 billion.

14: I'm pretty sure it's one of the Seawolf nuclear-powered submarines, probably the USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23). Full cost is about $3.5 billion.

8: I thinkit's theSan Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge. When it was built it cost $77 million.

7: It's the Large Hadron Collider, the longest and most potent particle accelerator in the world, located underground and crossing through both France and Switzerland. The total expected cost is to be around $4.1-8.2 billion.

5: Could be one of the Nimitz nuclear-powered aircraft supercarriers. Cost about $4.5 billion a pop.

4: The Channel Tunnel linking Folkenstone, Kent in England with Coquelles near Calais in France. It's 50.5km long. In 1985 prices, it cost about $7.1 billion. Inflated to todays levels, this price elevates to about $15.6 billion, which is an 80% overrun on the original budget.

1: The International Space Station. There are varied estimates to its full cost, ranging from $35 to $100 billion. Obviously one of the single most expensive things ever constructed by man.

There are many multi-billion dollar projects in the oil industry, such as certain LNG projects in the Adriatic Sea, that were not included in this :?

I think all of those are really low, I Know #10 is the dubai tower, and it is 4 billion (saw on the discovery channel) so everything above that has to be more.

It would be nice if the video listed what the things were and how much they cost :?
