TopShelf TG Fiction in the BigCloset!
OK, this has nothing to do with the theme of this site but I find it interesting.
The church in Kiruna in northern Sweden is moving. The 36 m high and 40 m wide church has been moving with a speed of 0.5 - 0.8 km/h.
This is part of moving the entire cown of some 18 000 inhabitants in order that the mine can continue.

Speeding down the reconstructed Boulevard
Some times it's only moving at .3 mph. Where did they get all the wheels to go under that puppy and what kind of beams are the using to support it? Costing millions to move it. roads had to be widened strengthened, and viaducts had to be strengthened. The engineering to go into jacking it up, putting it on beams, and moving had to be as complex as launching a space shuttle.
