    The designer of the airport has a video diary on youtube of the construction. There’s 20 or so entries and it’s really interesting stuff. First entry about the airport http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UiTGeR-Fus but be sure to enable closed captions.

    Awesome. It would be even better if they snuck in a few ‘Die Hard’ scenes and characters
