It s not just the cool steel-ribbon gift wrapping that makes the new Arizona Cardinals stadium radically different; it s everything, from the Starchitect design by Peter Eisenman, to North America s first slide-out tray field, to the pie-slice construction method, engineered to keep costs to a trim $350 million. The NFL is betting that the Cardinals new home will help re-brand the woeful Cards as a winner, and kick-start a new era in sports stadia - away from the nostalgic feel of baseball parks, and onward into the future. The construction is now 65 percent complete, with work steaming ahead toward the immovable deadline of NFL opening day in August 2006. The showcase stadium will host the Super Bowl in 2008, and become a new icon for Phoenix, Ariz., and football fans worldwide. There s enough done on site to see the finished product through the skeleton, and enough left to do that there s plenty of extreme action at the stadium every day.

Kuala Lumpur floods. Fed up with the devastating damage of the 1999 and 2003 flooding, the Malayan government gave the go-ahead for an unprecedented solution: a six-mile-long, 20-foot-high storm drain tunnel drilled directly under the city, feeding from the airport to a holding pond out of town. The wrinkle? To make the $525 million project affordable, the tunnel will do double duty as a three-mile-long double-decker toll road, creating the only fast way into and out of the choking capital city traffic.

What does it feel like to build the largest aircraft carrier on earth - a floating city that will serve as a combat airport, defending American security around the world? The $4.5 billion USS George Bush is now midway through its four-year construction period in the Western Hemisphere s biggest dry dock at Newport News, Va. The critical superlifts are now underway. These cranes can lift 900 tons, and need every pound of that strength to hoist 160 massive sections of completed flight deck sections into place. The pressure is on as every lift must happen with metronomic accuracy - any delay sets the entire project back.

Our host Danny Forster arrives at the planet s most humongous project: the outrageous Sakhalin oil and gas complex now under construction on a remote Russian island. The Russians are pouring billions into this city-sized operation, which is designed to suck fossil fuel from a frigid corner of the Pacific. Danny puts on his work boots and actually gets to bolt down a huge gas tank suspended from a crane. But he nearly freaks out when he pays a visit to the crane operator - 1,000 feet up in the air.
