14 Most Epic Transport Operations In History

Whether it’s long and winding, or paved with yellow bricks--every epic journey must begin with aroute from A to B. From Stonehenge to the Pyramids of Giza, in the days of old, carrying resources of mammoth proportions was an operation that required back-breaking brute strengthand decades of manpower--but thankfully for us, in this modern era of technology--things have come a long, long way. From the World’s Largest Magnet, to moving An Entire Hotel on Wheels--here’s the 14 Most Epic Transport Operations In History

3:40 can excavate 240K tonnes of coal! In what period of time? A minute, an hour, a day. The number by itself is useless.

The big dog here is the Troll A platform, makes everything else seem toys. A film about it defies belief to the layman.

The image at 7:53 is the Columbia breakup not the Challenger.

If you type "mammoet" into Google translate, you'll see it means "mammoth" in Dutch, and you can also hear how it sounds (the vowel written "oe" in Dutch is pronounced like the short "oo" sound in "hood" or "foot"). Little joke there by the founder.

Pretty sure the Hibernia platform (The GBS) weighed more than the Troll A... it was towed farther too... Approximately 350 kms from Bull Arm to the Grand Banks of Newfoundland....

10:06 'goedkoop' means cheap in dutch, the dudes name is Jan Cheap

[DeXandBanjo]

Twenty Three Million Dollars to move a building. That money could have been used to help at least a couple of people in need.

[georgiaayres]

Amazing!!! I really enjoyed watching the vids.

[zacharyanonymous]

The Magnet was on Long Island. I live here. I never knew that. Wow.

11:25 is totally wrong. Actually the whole time you are talking about the Large Binocular Telescope Observatory, NOT the Mount Graham International Observatory

[Nite-Fox]

I hope that one day you'll look back at this video and say to yourself: I could have done this much better.

[mortxiii]

Say's the dutch name almost flawlessly but can't say Cern or Ramesses (and spells it wrong too)

[guillepankeke]

Miles per hour, feet, pounds. What is this the middle ages?

[georgeworley]

CERN /sɜːrn/; French pronunciation: ​[sɛʁn]; not spelled out.

[unloveableandre]

14:36 hmmm, no, this video does not show a big Antanov

[mikloslegrady]

I was interested in this video but have to leave after the first part. The narrator is so annoying I cannot tolerate him.

[lasse]

Where is "Rubjerg Knude Fyr"

[unloveableandre]

#13 is not a transport operations at all
