Monster Moves S03E05 · Historic Hulks

Overview

In Iowa, mansion mover Jeremy Patterson attempts to shift the huge 1,000-ton Murillo Hall through the middle of a bustling city. Its brick walls are four-layers thick and extremely fragile. Will the building – and the city’s sewers – survive the move without falling apart? In Vancouver Canada, we follow a team of vintage aircraft enthusiasts attempt to cut up and dismantle a precious Lockheed Lodestar plane to move forty miles across the trans Canada highway. Can the team complete the move before rush hour traffic clogs the road?
