Here is TV personality Rachel Maddow talking to us about the Hoover Dam. Ignore the words around the video and just view the video. Here is the Wikipedia overview of the Boulder Dam, come Hoover Dam Project.
Could we do this again, she asks? I wonder how many snail darters died to allow the Hoover Dam to be built?
On the other hand, it does make the "Big Dig" look small.
The cost in then-year dollars was $49,000,000 (49 million). Inflated 2011 dollars would be $778,280,000 (778 million). Dollar wise it makes the "Big Dig" look big.
