How The Netherlands Stopped The Wind

http://tomscott.com - http://twitter.com/tomscott - The Delta Works, to the west of the Netherlands, are one of the modern wonders of the world. But there's other, lesser-known infrastructure there too: including the Rozenburg Wind Wall, on the Caland Canal, which turns a dangerous, windy stretch of canal into a much more navigable bit of water. It's a triumph of humanity over nature, and it's astonishing.

Thanks to Dan W - http://twitter.com/iamdanw - for letting me borrow his footage from the busier parts of the port of Rotterdam!
