Here you can see the 777 final assembly line on the left, and the 787 final assembly line on the right. The camera view is basically looking south to north along the office stack separating the two lines. the office stacks are kind of castellated so that the cranes can pass through from line to line. You can see the yellow crane pass-through in this picture.
See those little white objects in front of the building? Those are drydocked cruise ships...

And, get this, there are no vertical supports. No columns, nothing.
Yeah, I can only imagine. Meyer Werft is huge in the sense that the drydock buildings are exceedingly tall, but you can at least see one end of the building from the other, presuming that you're on the ground-level corridor between the ships.

When they first built this plant, they had rain inside the building before they got the HVAC sorted out. I average about 6 miles a day walking because everything is so spread out.

I've been rained on inside this building. Pretty cool place to visit as a kid. Not sure if they still allow civilian children to just roam around.

This was originally billed as a deliberate act by a scorned wife, but later reports claim it was just an old lady hitting the wrong pedal in the Walleyworld parking lot.
It was a great computer. Came with nearly everything you could want... except a disk drive. If you wanted one of those, it was an external box that sat on the desk next to the machine.
In other news, an old video I shot of a co-worker of mine capturing a bat which had been haunting WLLD-FM control room for four days, and then releasing it outside.
I have had to catch a bat in the powerplant I work in twice. Once they get near the generators, their echo location doesn't work anymore and they just drop to the ground and look extremely confused and lost. As soon as you get them outside, they are back to normal.
