Good point, but not sure the quality will be anywhere good enough. Who do you mean by local tv news? (remembering I am not "local" plus i dont watch much tv)
@webmaster - thanks for that Tried it with my iPad, but it didnt want to work and I ran out of time to swap over to my laptop
@webmaster - thanks for that, video has been uploaded and can be viewed at http://youtu.be/7pZf8NH3kiI
@frederick & @Philip - cheers guys. didn't realise taking night pics would be so frustrating. each of those shots were the best of about 10 taken; either too much light,nott enough or nothing but reflective safety gear glowing when flash was used. Have a video of the actual final lift, when I find out how to upload video here @webmaster ? PS - I was surprised thre was only myself & one ...
Well it's finally gone! Be interesting to see what it all looks like in daylight @Philip - just a wee bit!! but an awesome job, well done! and well worth the lack of sleep :-d R.I.P. Old Rusty ....... Rust In Pieces, that is! ;-) Right time for some shut eye, me thinks. Night night all ............
UPDATE @ 3am - thier cutting away the bridge
UPDATE @ 1.05am - things starting to move. Crane now in action, looks like the final preparation is underway. That crane beggers belief; arm is extending up to at least 6-8 storys, how it doesn't topple over is amazing. Photos have been updated :-)
UPDATE @ 12.45am - everything still at a standstill. Gear, crane etc all ready to rock n roll, but no low loader as yet to put it on & carry it away
NEWSFLASH - jut spoken with the foreman. Old Rusty will be gone tonight, by about 2am. So if your interested in saying ta ra, coming down to watch the action etc think about being down there around 11.30pm :-) Oh, and I am updating photos throughout the night, for those that are staying wrapped up & indoors. Apologies for quality of night pics, but its just a run of the mill digital camera
For those of you who may have missed it on the other thread, and are interested, I will be posting regular pics (daily once they REALLY get started) of the railway bridge. Today's photo has been posted http://www.dawlish.com/photo?albumid=699&groupid=4719
