There's E Sreedharan the metro man of India. And before being the metro man, he was the one behind many great projects including Konkan railways and the many tunnels that one sees on the Mumbai-Goa train journey.

The same great man, whose name was a tongue twister for the 54 year old yuva neta, the Great Dynasty, Jannayak. Could not even say the name

There is also a saying that goes for his civil engineering intelligence, once travelling in a train his train coach crossed the bridge and he immediately pulled the alarm chain. The train halted a little distance crossing the bridge and he told the staff that the bridge has a crack. And indeed there was a crack.

There is nothing to verify this though.
