Eiffel tower in Paris

This is the only modern structure listed in the top ten. I think the The Chrysler Building in NY would be a far better choice.

My pick is the Dallas Cowboys new stadium. It’s not open yet but it’s going to be a fine facility.

GO COWBOYS!!!!!

Why Chrysler and not Empire State? I'm not disagreeing, though I would lean towards the latter.

Oh, I agree. Plus the Golden Gate Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Panama Canal, the Suez Canel, the lighthouse on Bell Rock of the coast of northern Great Britain, and Hoover Dam. All magnificent pieces of engineering. All witness to the power of the human mind.

(sigh 'Course these were mostly done by a bunch of white guys...)

The Chrysler and Empire State, as a duo. The worlds first great skyscrapers, and they are beautiful to boot. No list would be complete without them.

These are a hell of an engineering feat (no bedrock, built on 400 foot-deep foundations), and pretty cool looking IMHO:
