Not very far away from our apartment, construction began several months ago on a new office complex.
We happened to have the fortune one Saturday morning of waking up and seeing a giant cranebe assembled before our very eyes. It's actually quite an amazing process, and you have to be impressed with what the assemblers have to do in order to fit everything together. The slideshow offers a glimpse of what we got to watch while sipping coffee from the comfort of our apartment while the guys in the photos were on the order of 10 or more stories above the ground.
The video below shows them lowering in one of the counterweights. Yowza.
