Summary: "In 1955, the sinking of a ship carrying 100 school children in
the Seto Inland Sea led to the demand for a bridge there. Legendary
engineer Hideo Sugita was faced with numerous challenges, among them
very swift tidal currents. Working with a diver who knew the sea well, he
overcame an oil shortage and many experimental failures. In 1988, the
Seto Ohashi Bridge was completed, 18 years after the project began. Over
1000 meters long, it incorporates a highway and railway line. The
programme tells the story of the men who worked together as they took
on this challenge, particularly forcusing on the biggest obstacle in the
completion of the bridge, the construction of its underwater base." --From
