Imagine the unique engineering challenges involved in moving the U-505. How do you move a National Historic landmark that weighs as much as three Statues of Liberty and is nearly a city block long? Then, once it is moved, how do you lower it four stories into a new exhibit space?
If you can’t see the embedded video above, go to Moving the U505 submarine on msichicago.org.
Here’s my live commentary throughout the video:
lol
the submarine slowly moving with all the people running around really fast.
the clouds moving overhead is like the top of the ocean
adjusting the wheels to go up the curb
oh wait. they didn’t go up the curb
haha. i like the above head view
LOOK OUT! SUBMARINE ATTACK!
TAKE COVER!
oooh, so they didn’t lift it up, they just slide it over onto a elevator sort of thing
YAY! the submarine has now safely landed
Very cool video!
Yeah! Thanks to @tribunetarra for sharing it with me. 🙂
