15. Ryugyong Hotel, Pyongyang, North Korea

Perhaps a shining example of North Korea’s maniacal thirst for grandiosity, this imposing hotel was coated in a cool $150 million worth of glass in 2008, but has largely been abandoned for the past 16 years.

I lived in Utah during my teens & 20s. Kennecott was a constant item of news. You heard about stuff being done there all the time. It is huge. The trucks look like toys until you see them close up. I was always struck by how relatively little their loads looked, & how small & shallow their beds were, compared to their size, but it take a massive vehicle to move that many tons of ore in one load.
