Richard Hammond reveals the inspiration behind Hong Kong's Ocean Airport, the new gateway to Asia, sited on a specially constructed island.

Richard Hammond reveals the startling engineering connections behind Hong Kong's Ocean Airport, one of the busiest and biggest in the world, sited on a specially constructed island.
