When one embarks on a project such as this you need some serious equipment to get the job done. This “giant” crane is used to lift the the trusses into place. To get an idea of its size, look at the guy standing at the base of the crane. Yesterday’s picture of the stadium shows the crane towering over the structure.
There is a great deal of activity as the construction team prepare to put the next truss in place. From my observations it seems to take about a week to put one up. The crane truck is dwarfed by the crane.
C’est grandiose … mais je crois que le monde consacre trop d’argent au sport et pas assez pour la vie des gens !
may I translate Melanie’s comment :its awesome… but I think the world is spending too much money on sport and not enough on people’s livesyour translater (if needed)Gaston
Nice to see things are moving along after all the naysayers going on about how we could NEVER be ready in time…
Gaston, merci.Melanie, d’accord! C’est vraiment stupide!(Very rusty French learned at school a LONG LONG time ago!)
