  • Where can I buy the big bigger biggest series?

  • @2046hleger in Australia, on DVD at JB HiFi or EzyDVD.com.au etc

  • wtf was that at the end?

  • Where can I get the computer controlled jacking system??

  • Extraordinary stuffs! Architects will soon later build a new roof for the sky to resist the Global Warming..Haha!!

  • why dont they just make stealth cranes :P

  • they can do almost anything in todays world,but they havent had anyone on the moon(since 68)doesnt that say something,look at the pyramids,who the fuck built them without cranes?

  • the architect looks like a pimp.

  • They need TC.

  • nice tech but they still lose bagage :\

  • let's try designing the lift system on autocad 2008!

  • this story gets me so horny...OH GODDD!!!

  • ... WHY???

  • Yeah I was thinking the same thing half way through but it explains why in the last 20 seconds, to basically expand vertically since they can't expand on the ground horizontally because they are boxed in.

    Also they mentioned they were gonna carry the whole thing like it was one huge sheet but around 3:58 you can see the roof being lifted in sections, it's still interesting though.

  • leverage can do anything, its the key to engineering.

  • asd

  • iz it completed ?

    :S

  • "this guy on his computer controlling this jacking system." God, I'm a pervert. lol

  • lol, you're clearly dirty minded. i had to read that twice but sure is funny..lmaooo

  • haha

  • All new airports look the same now.. But that'okay, less chance of getting lost or not understanding where things are and stuff.

  • FUCKING FAIL :D

  • Why couldn't they just build a platform and assemble the roof at the roof level? Lifting the roofs is such a high risk.

  • Dubai is still the wonderworld in engineering though.

  • مش لما تبتكروا حاجة إنتم فالحين فى الكلام وبس معاكم فلوس و عمالين تطيروها

  • DUDE

  • Remarkable feat of engineering! Good show Heathrow!

  • hmm ok. pretty cool i guess.

    amazing how big that is, and how much it weighs. had no idea it'd way that much

  • mmm, very interesting . i must be getting old

  • cant they just inject viagara in the columns?

  • LOL

  • its all about money

  • ZzzzZZzz... DUBAI PWNS IT

  • It's not a competition. And if it is for you, just know, one day not to far away "Dubai" will get pwnd.

  • As an architect I love this it a WOW... I am going to be for now a civilian nice..

  • Heathrow = worst airport ever, i've only had 1 flight without any problems.

  • i wonder how much power would they get if they put solar pannels on that roof?

  • WONDERFUL

  • wow! you genius use wires!

  • Wow, amazing stuff going on there. A year even!

  • it's amazing what they do now & so fast

  • MOAR

  • wow, how complex.

  • EXCELLENT JOB

  • Fantastic work people! :)

  • Well done.

  • a year to lift? thats crazy. next time im at heathrow, i'll take a look.

  • A whole year?

    Damn...

  • Wow.

  • Raise the Roof!!!!

  • Pretty cool. =]

  • lol that was awsome!

  • surely it would of been easier 2 move the motorway over abit lol (or build a new M25 further down from the airport) and then use tower craines. rofl dur.

  • its between highways...

  • amazing

  • hel

  • Nice : )
