This is an interesting read about the engineering involved in creating the olympic opening ceremony:

One of the consultants on one of my projects had been very cagey about what else he was working on right up until the day before the opening ceremony.

Morning bump as i’m sure someone will be interested in it. If only to know how they did the chimneys…

Was wondering about the chimneys- ta for that!

Good article!

Not looked yet, but my guess was chimneys hastily stuck together from sections, under the floor… #now looks to see if this was right, or just stupid.#

EDIT: yep, homer is naive retard, yeah, they build them as they went up… fool. 🙄
