It is facsinating. And the canal has been a wonderful example of how government and private industry can work together to build something that benefits everyone for long stretches of time.

But, of course, I do have to point out; It also demonstrate the horrors that can arise when project managers have a free hand to do whatever they wish with an unprotected workforce and little to no oversight. A lot of men died building that canal----and NO, it wasn't all due to malaria.
