Editorial Review:
Description:
Extreme Engineering unveils some of the most ambitious architectural plans of our times. Some are theoretical; others are in the works. But all of these modern marvels pose challenges that stretch the definition of what's possible. Watch as jaw-dropping computer animation and first-hand accounts from builders, designers and engineers breathe life into the most extreme construction projects ever conceived. Episode 3: Our host Danny arrives at the planet's most humongous project - the outrageous Sakhalin oil and gas complex - now under construction on a remote Russian island. The Russians are pouring billions into this city-sized operation - designed to suck fossil fuel from a frigid corner of the Pacific. Danny puts on his work boots, and actually gets to bolt down a huge gas tank suspended from a crane. But he nearly freaks out when he pays a visit to the crane operator - 1000 feet up in the air.
