I saw this on discovery channel, how they built it and how they moved it. It is the most fascinating built structure I have ever seen. I was so amazed of this story, everyone needs to see and hear about it. "BREATHTAKING"

I saw the same show many years ago on Discovery and would love to buy it on DVD. I've been looking for it everywhere without finding it, including the Discovery web site. If anyone can tell me how I can get it, that would be fantastic.

Like you others, this oilrig has captured my imagination for years. I first saw it on an American TV show called "How'd they build that?" (or something). I managed to tape it, but have since lost the tape and would love to get a proper documentary programme on it to show a high school Engineering studies/Design and Technology class.

Impressive engineering job indeed. And at 10th anniversary, another great event pointed it. The Katie Melua's Concert Under The Sea took place in one of rig's feet, at 303 m under the sea level. I reccommend this show as well. Is at least as good as the bulding of the rig (the movie).
