Looks like the lift or some kind of work with the big crane is commencing:

Can anybody re-stream this so more people can watch? I haven't been able to view the webcam at all today :(

Looks like they just were extending the boom with megawing attachment as a trial run per se. Early on there it looked as if the megawing would come in contact with west support but it wasn't as they swung around...I can't see the cam either but is the other crane still sitting in the parking lot to the northeast?

No, it's not. I saw it start moving and then whoever the dumba$$ was running the camera focused in on the structure. I THINK it took off down the road. Wonder why??

The other crane is currently in position and is loading up on counter weights.

The other support, on the east side of the Jake, still needs to be erected before anything else can go up, correct?

How long will that take?
