We can only stand in awe in front of what engineers can achieve today. Just think of how many things have to click for a simple machine to work as it should - and then multiply it by a pretty large number in the case of some of the most amazing machines and buildings we take for granted today. You think that the Burj Khalifa could stand if engineers miscalculated the load capacity of its walls? Or that the ISS could keep its inhabitants safe if the materials used were not the perfect match for the job? Today's engineers have computers to calculate everything from wind speed to stress, not to mention the possibility to simulate everything before even laying a hand on a wrench. But think of the engineers of the past - they had to make do with paper and pencil (or sometimes their mind alone) to create some of the most amazing things that are still around us today. Like the ones below.
