Stole this from Facebook, but the second large Ethelyne Oxide reactor was transported to site new Edmonton Alberta today. The reactor weighs 3.5 million pounds. 2 Trucks at the front and 4 push trucks at the rear.

WOW!
Doing a Google search, fun fact, it takes over 900 tires to move that thing. What a massive undertaking!

I saw their marine cranes towering above everything else from 13 miles away when I was in college.

Holy economy of scale Batman!
A few smaller reactors would be somehow less cost effective?
I just googled it. The Great Pyramid weighs about 10 billion pounds. So only about 3000x as much as this reactor.

They've got some of the biggest equipment around, when it comes to moving or lifting big/heavy stuff Mammoet is the go to company.

Not sure the reason on why they are so big? I know there's been similar sized units built and moved in China as well.
Moved one 5000 lb. stone at a time, or with alien technology.Holy economy of scale Batman!
