I think Discovery Channel or National Geographic did a special on that bridge, more for the historic linking of the countries, but, yes, that is one impressive crane.

Two similar cranes were used to put the platform on the Hibernia Spar. You just have to admire technology like that.

Rain in Vegas.. March madness has taken over the casinos. |cool| Wynn Tower, built on the old Desert Inn place, scheduled to open in April just announced they are sold out and their projections are such that they just signed a contract to build a 2nd tower.

*sigh*.. i missed OTB today..now my week will be so empty. No |bananna| phone song.. No pithy commentary to yak with Tart about in PM.

Swedeeeeee.. that building looks awesome... and i had to click every link to see all the different ones..

My favorite in fairly recent history (ok 10 yrs is recent when you're an old phart) is the Kansai Airport Osaka Guess they didnt' have much left over for the urinals.

I saw a documentary on it and how they went about having to shore up the pilings and how it moves with the ocean tides so the air control has to adjust for 'movage" or whatever the technical term is.

ohhh, fuck! I missed OTB again. WHERE WAS THAT ICQ REMINDER??? ;)
