Here, let's lift the massive topside module at one time and drop it right into place. That Hyundai 10000 it a 10K ton lift capacity and almost the biggest one out out. At the Kiewit yard in Ingleside, they built at 13K ton shearleg crane just to lift the Thunderhorse topside modules (production, compression, generator) in one lift each. I did an equipment survey on the TH in Korea before it was hauled to Kiewit. IIRC, just the module topside area was about 60 yards by 115 yards. I paced it off and laughed at the thought of a regulation size football field on the top of a semisubmersible. /CSB

I was working for a production company at the time and shot the Thunderhorse sailout at Ingleside back in 2006. First and last time I ever pointed a camera at something moving under 0.5 mph for 8 straight hours. /CSB

May 19, 20223 yr Water was a dead give away, before anything else. It’s a decent job for what it is, but it’s still a creation.
May 19, 20223 yr If she does, we get to see her tits first, right? We wouldn’t want this rule of science to turn into a disaster.

Still looks like a lot of fun and something I would have done when I was younger. The guy at 1:45 was lucky he was wearing a helmet because his head went crashing into that wall.

No other houses, carts, or people around though. For a bunch of reasons I’m lucky to be alive. I had a wagon that was factory built to be a downhill racer. It was about twice the size of a regular wagon, the sides were removable so it was completely flat and it had a foot brake on the back. Problem was you had to ride it like the Skeleton, laying face down so you could use the brakes with the pull handle facing forward so you could steer. A true suicide machine.

Was it sprung from cages on Highway 9??

I owned the streets of North Austin for a short time but it would've been nice to learn from the masters on the dirt streets of Guadalajara.
