Liebherr crane climbs up tower

This is a powerful demonstration from Liebherr at the ‘Ratthaus’ in Vienna. As part of a tv show challenge, one of their crane operators uses a hydrolic crane to climb up a tall tower. Notice the caterpillars used to keep the tower in place.

It would be nice to have on of those in your backyard, wouldn’t it?

Biggest card tower: Guinness World Record attempt

Ever tried to build a house of cards when you were young? This guy, Bryan Berg, took that to another level: He attempted to break the world record by building the largest house of freestanding playing cards. He tried to build replicas of The Venetian Macao, the Plaza Macao, and the Sands Macao. He used over a 190,000 cards and it took 44 days to complete.

What a great way to earn your money and pride!
