I initially read that as the tour costing $2 billion. Seems a bit steep!

Is it? How much have the recent floods experienced in the Americas cost?

What is honestly going on in this comment section? First guy is confused by a perfectly good caption saying that the facility cost $2 billion to build and was completed in 2006. And second guy said he somehow thought that meant that taking a tour costs $2 billion (which would be obviously expensive just for a tour). And you have somehow misinterpreted the comment about the tour to be saying that the facility is expensive.

Come on, guys. Read before you comment. Jesus.

I assume the second person was joking. I have no idea what the first person was concerned about, unfortunately.
