Bucharest, Romania Is Hiding Something Nobody Talks About

Bucharest has a river Europe forgot, a palace so heavy it's still sinking into the ground, and an entire second city hidden beneath its streets.
Most people see Bucharest as grey concrete blocks and little else. They have no idea. Beneath the boulevards runs a labyrinth of tunnels — some dug six hundred years ago by Vlad the Impaler as an escape route from the Ottomans, later expanded into a secret network so complete that a dictator once bragged he could cross the entire capital underground by car. Above ground stands one of the heaviest buildings on Earth, hiding a nuclear bunker eight floors deep, while the elegant French-style city Bucharest used to be was erased almost overnight.
In this video, we count down 35 facts that will completely change how you see Bucharest — from the underground city beneath the streets, to the tunnels of Vlad the Impaler, the colossal Palace of the Parliament and its secret bunker, the earthquake that reshaped the capital, and the geographic reason this city has always hidden far more than it shows.

Takes a small known issue -> turns it into an unknown mistery that will cause destruction and chaos in the future....give me a break! This is not Venice, Amsterdam or New York, it's just a small nuissance for engineers.
