>Lufthansa board member and CEO of subsidiary Eurowings, Thorsten Dirks, has apparently lost faith in the new Berlin Brandenburg airport, calling for the airport to be "demolished and rebuilt," after losing confidence in the project which has been delayed for years.
>t emerged that Alfredo di Mauro who designed the fire safety system was not a qualified engineer. While his business cards stated he was an engineer he was actually qualified as an engineering draughtsman.[195] Di Mauro was dismissed by the airport company in early May 2014. In the termination notice the company cited "serious defects" in his work and that trust in their relationship was "now finally shattered". The airport company went on to state that Di Mauro's plans would be "disposed of". The system was to be rebuilt and divided into three areas in order to make it "manageable". The costs of this work was reported as being a nine-digit figure.[196]
>Another factor impacting on the construction of the airport was insolvency of general planner Planungsgemeinschaft Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg International (pg bbi) and the dismissal of the Gerkan, Marg and Partners architects. Inspectors have uncovered many examples of poor workmanship due to a lack of proper supervision and documentation, most notably concerning the wiring. Reports have surfaced about cable conduits that hold too many cables or hold cables in incompatible combinations, such as phone lines next to high voltage wires. A total of 60 kilometres (37 mi) of cooling pipes were allegedly installed with no thermal insulation. To correct this, the demolition of numerous walls may be necessary. Furthermore, exterior vents appear to be in improper locations, allowing rainwater from the western façade to enter them.[194] The 18 km (11 mi) long exhaust system to remove smoke from a fire is leaking.[197]

>he opening date of 2019 has been described as ambitious[17] and even an opening date of 2020 has been called into question. On 23 November 2017 exactly 2000 days after the originally planned opening date in 2012 a TÜV report listed additional deficits. It is possible that the new deficits will cause an additional delay of up to two years, with an opening in 2021.[232]

I love these engineering-fuck ups. They are so amusing. Except for the part that tax-payer money was used for it.
Thomas Roberts
12 more years to rebuild it too. The next one will be build by all of those engineers imported from 'Syria" so it should turn out just fine.
Jonathan Morgan
If this was a Chinese project it would have been finished in one year.
Cooper Russell
It is well known that it's just a front for money laundering and the squandering of tax money so more can be allocated to it every year.
Hunter Powell
We're third world now.
Bring back Hitler, so that we can be first world again.
I can also shit pretty fast, but that doesn't mean I wanna fly in a turd
Elijah Ward
wrong. Merkel's bunker and that of her staff is built under there for when the Russians invade. You think they are stupid, they are hiding an army under there.
Jason Powell
Looks like a killer bridge though now
Isaiah Hughes
an Army which will be buried in its own hi-tech grave. How quaint, kek

We have a contender of our own, which is LAX. they fubared it.
Daniel Phillips
To be fair literally no Berliner supported this farce in the first place.
Landon Gray
will you like us now, that we're too incompetent to threaten anyone, ja?
Luis Anderson
it was never meant to be an Airport. It is but the perfect decoy to get out tons of earth and stone without causing too much suspicion - pretty much the same the US did for their NWO oberlords. Remember, they are all slaves of that Order. Walmart prison camps are not an idea of x, we all saw the plastic coffins.
Carter Hernandez
Just wait until we start building rail baltica, it will bankrupt 3 country's in a year

I've lost faith in the German race. It should be demolished and replaced.
Nathaniel Hill
You people are really dumb, no imagination. Your mindlessness is just one step above the average blue piller. No wonder real pol left you. But I do enjoy the memes. You're just too normal for being quality poltards is all...

Chase Wood
Some background information: The socialist politicians behind this epic failure decided that instead of hiring a contractor, they'd try managing the construction on their own.
Politicians in charge of a large civil engineering exercise.
Nicholas Phillips
>A FUCKING ITALIAN? I'm so shocked that RUSSIANS are not blamed for this so very embarrassing fuck up. And those people (Germans) were trying to take over the World (Hitler). KEK Thank God that Russians kicked their asses in WWII. Fucking Germany is cursed. Millions of muslims and now this. You fuckers are cursed, LOL Germany is rotten.
It took Hamburg 10 years to complete the stupid Philharmonic building. Fucking retards. This project has been a clusterfuck from the beginning. One disaster after the next. In 2012 three weeks before the opening (original opening was supposed to be 2010) they had a test with the public. Shortly thereafter they claimed the smoke handling system was defective and would prevent the airport from opening. What they did not report is that from these tests they found out they did not build the airport big enough, not enough seats, counter space, waiting areas. Now it is 2018 and the demand will have only increased, meanwhile they have computers that were installed in 2010. They will literally have to replace all the computer systems by the time the airport opens because the computers will be obsolete. Derp!

How that faggot mayor of Berlin was never charged with fraud is a fucking miracle.
Michael Green
They did a survey recently in the Berliner Morgenpost and more than 20% of the respondents thought the airport would never open and 60% did not think it would open before the end of 2020.
All these fuckups happen because they hired too many whites to build the airport.
As a service to Germany, we as citizens of progressive countries should encourage germany to be as diverse and inclusive as possible when rebuilding it. Make sure all contracts go to women and PoC
In 2013 they had a problem with the electrical system and they could not turn off the exterior lighting... for three fucking months. It took them three months to fix the problem.
Kayden Richardson
german engineering sure has fallen since the 1940s
They could give a fuck if they stand or fall considering construction is their economy, hence why they build ghost cities everywhere with half finished buildings.
Hunter Stewart
* DING DING * This is your captain speaking. Unfortunately, we are unable to land at Berlin Tempelhof airport because it has been converted into a temporary refugee space for Nigerians. We also can't land at Berlin Brandenberg airport because it has been built by Nigerian refugees. So instead, I have decided to fly the plane into the side of a Swiss mountain. Please buckle your seatbelts and return your traytables to their fully upright and locked position. *REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
this shitshow of a construction project is the reason why I don't believe the Germans ever were capable of industrialized mass murder. (not morally - just practically).
Juan Watson
to be fair it's not so much fault of engineering but rather of the leftie politics.
Daniel Richardson
>Kraut engineering.
Woah, so this is the power of the great German engineers I have heard so much of.
Sounds to me like the EU has too many stupid laws that make it impossible to build anything anymore.
William Bailey
Man I fucking hate these "modern" style buildings that look like complete ass. Because of the faggot architects the shit ends up costing x10 more than if you built a simple normal building without any cocks or triangles popping out of the walls. Man I fucking hate this shit Look at this shit, they're building this turd in my home city for 2 billion euros WHAT THE FUCK!
no, one of the first delays war because they had to rip out all wiring because the company that did the wiring didn't have all clearences and certifications. once they did that they had to rip it out again because the surrounding ceilings weren't fire proof. I stopped following the project after that.
Eli Sanchez
They still have shitty airports like Tegel and Schönefeld
Caleb Clark
Yes, and his son finished it after it killed his dad. The murals inside the airport are creepy as well.
Ryder Edwards
>german "efficiency"
Luis Price
I know, I actually worked there.
Nolan Edwards
>12 years for a fucking airport Mind you it's in Berlin, the epicenter of corruption and political incompetence.
This was investigated, and reports said the former (socialist) mayor interfered so often with the plans, redesign alone went into the billions. When they were done, smoke deventilation was deemed insufficient by the fire inspector.
Evan Price
I bet this whole thing was just a money laundering racket
Yurotrash are nothing but murderous thieves

>If this was a Chinese project it would have been finished in one year.
we have companies that build airports turn-key ready. the local government in berlin/brandenburg decided they could do it cheaper and better if they plan and supervise it themselves ( unsing companies and people close to them). of course the only reason to do it to be able to be more corrupt as has been proven throughout the project.
>tl/dr Berlin govt is corrupt af
> t. Berliner
Thomas Baker
An Italian engineer was responsible for the fiasco. Infiltration of Italian Mafia. Germans don't have a clue.
>Krauts name is Alfredo di Mauro. we should start investigating for Mafia involvement
Christian Myers
The name Di Mauro is Lombard (Germanic-North-Italian) not Sicilian/Neapolitan. LMAO Krauts rekt for all time beyond redemption houseofnames.com/dimauro-family-crest
>Germany has a statue of a robot horse trying to suck its own dick
I'm not even surprised.
Austin Gray
>12 years for a fucking airport, 12 years! truly spoken like someone who has never worked in construction
Samuel Taylor
Doesn’t even surprise me a woman designed that bridge.
Josiah Campbell
If by finished you mean abandoned because all the funds were embezzled and one year you mean six months
Jaxson Roberts
How's the horse and buggy traffic on your country's one highway?

Of course it would be trying to suck its own dick, it's berlin

> capital of Germany > airport is a glorified warehouse with a snack stand and a parking lot
What did they mean by this?
Kayden Martinez
For as smart as Germans are purported to be at times, they sure seem fucking retarded
Carson Smith
Their Engineering has a reputation that is no longer deserved. I've had to work with German Engineers on several projects and the work they produce leaves just as much to be desired as Engineers from any other country. They have the very same problems concerning time constraints and cost that any other country faces, this leads to mistakes.
Ian Wood
>For aesthetic reasons designers decided that the terminal would have smoke extraction ducts in its ceiling, but they would not exhaust on its rooftop. In a fire smoke would be pumped from the ceiling into a shaft running down and through the basement below the structure.
hahaha It's comforting to see that Germans are as stupid and vain as the rest of us.
Jackson Powell
It's Berlin, a shitskin infested corrupt to the core shithole. The airport is a money laundering scheme.
