Marv's Neighbor Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Sea-Tac (Seattle) Airport did the same thing. In the 70's they installed a subway system to get out to the satellite terminals. Over 30 years it needed to be replaced. They ordered new larger coaches but didn't account for the existing tunnel turn radii. Needless to say, the new coaches couldn't make the turns and they had to enlarge the tunnels. Naturally, the system had to shut down during the reconstruction.

Shamrock Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Don't quote me but it think the Oz Navy ordered a frigate from Spain. Hull sections made over there & welded here. Apparently the sections didn't fit together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
