Seven Wonders of the Modern World

Empire State Building Finished in 1931, the Empire State Building towers 1,250 ft. over New York City. Until the first tower of the World Trade Center was finished in 1972, it was the world's tallest building.

Itaipu Dam Built by Brazil and Paraguay on the Paraná River, the dam is the world's largest hydroelectric power plant. Completed in 1991, it took 16 years to build this series of dams whose length totals 7,744 meters (8,469 yards). It used 15 times more concrete than the Channel Tunnel.

CN Tower In 1976, the CN tower became the world's tallest freestanding structure. It stands about one-third of a mile high (1,815 ft.) above Toronto, Canada. A glass floor on the observation deck lets you look 342 meters (1,125 feet) down to the ground.

Panama Canal It took 34 years to create this 50-mile-long canal across the Isthmus of Panama. The amount of digging required and the size of its locks helped make it the most expensive project in American history at that time—and the most deadly: About 80,000 people died during construction  (most from disease).

Channel Tunnel Known as the Chunnel, Channel Tunnel links France and England. It is 31 miles long, and 23 of those miles are 150 ft. beneath the seabed of the English Channel. High-speed trains whiz through its side-by-side tubes.

Netherlands North Sea Protection Works Because the Netherlands is below sea level, a series of dams, floodgates, and surge barriers have been built to keep the sea from flooding the country during storms.

It is made of 65 concrete piers (raised structures) each weighing 18,000 tons. It has been said that the project is nearly equal in scale to the Great Wall of China.

Golden Gate Bridge Connecting San Francisco and Marin County in 1937, for many years this was the longest suspension bridge in world. Experts thought that winds, ocean currents, and fog would make it impossible to build.

It took about four years to complete the beautiful 1 It took about four years to complete the beautiful 1.2-mile-long bridge. It is held by 80,000 miles worth of steel wire, and the cables that link the two towers are 36.5 inches in diameter—the biggest ever made.
