This series charts the exclusive inside story of the 8-billion-dollar race to build America’s first major new airport in 25 years. 30 million passengers a year pass through LaGuardia Airport in New York, but this critical hub is run down and over capacity, causing delays. Over the course of 9 years, 7000 architects, engineers and construction workers must attempt the impossible; rebuild the entire airport from the ground up, to create a state-of-the-art, fully unified facility, without affecting its operation.
