[Scar]

So, reportedly, the plane, which was removed from the Hudson

See pix...

needed to be moved through the side-streets of East Rutherford, NJ... Yet another amazing engineering feat.

Here are some pix (which I did not myself take).

<= to the guys who made it happen...

wow, that's crazy. I wonder how much time it took to measure out every corner of that route to see if the truck could get around the corners. I was surprised that they didnt have a rear steer under that thing too.

 

[shawnski]

cool!

 

[Projekt]

Wow.. I can't wait for the Discovery Channel to do a special on that move.

They had all-wheel steer! Look at the third pic down...

Wow! Never saw a plane on the streets like that before. Cool pics.

On that type of trailer all the wheels can turn all at once or can be turned indiviually. If given enuff room that trailer could do 360's all day long...

Yeah I See that now, thatns for pointing that out. I guess I've never dealt with a trailer like that before.

At first when I saw the pix in the e-mail I got, I was like "no effing way"...then the more I looked at them, I was like "whoa...apparently effing way!"
