4: 00 again not incredibly. you act like its some amazing unexpected thing for citys to be on rivers. its not, its the prime most logical location for humans to live for the exact reason that it makes logistics more managable, so its more like the logical inevitable outcome of human behavior. what would be incredible is if that lab for some unknown reason would be on a mountain top in the middle of a dessert

The animated map is off, obviously.
The Tennessee-Tombigbee waterway
connects the Alabama River to the Tennessee
River, not directly to the Ohio. I suspect the route from
Long Island to Mobile was mostly through
the Intracoastal Canal instead of entirely on the open seas
of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, but maybe it was.

If our ancient civilization ancestors saw this, they'd laugh right in our faces moving a mere 17 ton object. They'd suggest we -attempt- to transport one of those Trilithon stone blocks in Baalbek Lebanon weighing around 800 tons (1. 6 million pounds) for starters.

Calling it a magnet is misleading, as the item had no magnetic fields while in transit. They transported a deenergized electromagnet. Transporting a similar size 17 ton neodymium magnet would have been much harder

3: 43 - Locals pronounce both S's in -Des Plaines- and slur the -s pl- into one word, _Desplains_. The French named a lot of things in that area but didn't leave behind many French speakers.

I am in the oversize industry. Before they give you a super load permit you have to exhaust every other option. That is why many super loads only travel on roads for a short distance.

There were similar stories about large components for the Saturn V rockets being transported by barge to Florida, including some from California that went through the Panama Canal.

Absolutely massive crane! --- Says the guy that hasn't left his house his whole life. That's a relatively small crane. way smaller then a common tower crane that puts up buildings.

-Even if the coils inside move by a couple mm it can cause massive internal damage to the magnet-
-immediately lets thousands of people have a party at the magnet upon arrival-

Ooh, I went to a presentation at the Manchester New Scientist exhibition last month about a possible 5th force of nature interacting with Muons at this laboratory in Chicago

-Ludicrously massive crain! -? LOL! Obviously this guy has never seen any large cranes before, because this one is quite tiny compared to the ones I've operated.

glad comments are already informed about cranes and how these are not large cranes unless you compare them to birds but they are not birds so that would be dumb

It start at 17 tones and then quickly grows to much more after pulling in cars, people's legs with bone-fixing pins, every bottle cap on the eastern seaboard etc.

Cool story bro. but I'm still left wondering why it was shipped up the Mississippi vs through the great lakes to Chicago? I'm sure there's a really good reason.

Why didn-t the barge go up the Hudson to Erie Canal and through the Great Lakes to get to Chicago? Does Erie Canal still function as a route for shipping?

I would've guessed the St Lawrence - Great Lakes route.
Pretty neat that the waterways from the south are accommodating of such large vessels.

This looks like something that needs to be added to American Truck Simulator. I think I could get it there in 30 minutes or less.

Crane isn't that big, tbh. Doesn't even fall into -massive- category, let alone -ludicrously massive-.
