"A tragicomic infrastructure own goal like this deserves wider exposure.
Perhaps some lessons can be learned. Or you can just point and laugh."

Yet another megaproject disaster.  CEOs and politicians keep repeating
these mistakes because they want the prestige of the biggest possible
project.  There is massive personal upside, and relatively little
downside - at worst some reputational damage if they don't manage to
shift the blame.  Via Jim Cheetham.
