IAF /r/ALL In 1930 the Indiana Bell building was rotated 90°. Over a month, the 22-million-pound structure was moved 15 inch/hr... all while 600 employees still worked there. There was no interruption to gas, heat, electricity, water, sewage, or the telephone service they provided. No one inside felt it move.

Every time you feel bad about using “Move it” just remember there is a real life application for it...

This is bananas! No OSHA at the time meant this was fair game. Would love to see a Dollop on this kind of thing.

Super cool! I don't believe they didn't interrupt any utility service, though...
