| Summary |
"In Berlin a construction team races to finish Europe's newest and largest train station, before millions of fans descend on the city for the World Cup. To meet this deadline, engineers will tip two massive steel towers over the station's newly completed glass roof in just two days. The new station is a bold symbol of German reunification. It sits squarely on the former border between East and West Germany. More importantly, it connects Europe's two main rail routes: from Paris to Moscow, and from Stockholm to Vienna - placing Berlin firmly at the centre of a new Europe. Designed by world famous architect Meinhard Von Gerkan, it is sheathed almost entirely in glass. Follow this daring team as they attempt an engineering feat never before accomplished in construction history"--National Geographic Channel Website |
