    World's largest land crane - photos and video

    "Big Carl", AKA SGC-250, is being billed as the world's largest crane, but I think the offshore cranes are larger. Maybe they're using a specific metric. Still really cool, and it was built to construct the first nuclear power plant to be built in the UK in 30 years.
