How does a $1 billion Olympic stadium turn into a decades-long problem?
In the heart of Montreal sits the Montreal Olympic Stadium — built for the 1976 Summer Olympics.
But almost everything went wrong.
Cost overruns.
An unfinished design.
A retractable roof that never worked.
And problems that still haven’t been fixed.
In this video, we break down how one ambitious design turned into a billion-dollar engineering mistake — and why it’s still causing problems today.
This isn’t a collapse story.
It’s something worse.
