Abandoned Megaprojects in the United States
by Lori Dorn from Laughing Squid on (#6G1RT)
Kite & Key Media put together a wonderful compilation of odd abandoned megaprojects within the United States. Some of these unrealized projects include a shatterproof dome over Manhattan to save on snow removal costs, alternate proposals for the Lincoln Memorial, and a new port in Cape Thompson, Alaska to be built with nuclear weapons.
For every unique building you see popping out of an American skyline ... there are dozens of crazier projects that were never built.
