2. Damm!
Like I said though, you lot are more then welcome to come up with a 7 American wonders list. :-)

This was a UK survey after all, and the Telegraph article is most interested in the Channel Tunnel being selected.

3. This is your dam tour...
I am your dam guide. Take all the dam pictures you want. Don't lean over the dam railing...
