Default World's Toughest Fixes

If anyone has National Geographic TV turn it on. This episode of "World's Toughest Fixes" shows how they replace a turbine engine in a nuclear reactor and it's awesome!!!

The next episode shows them taking a 767 apart to repair a whole. Very awesome show.

They just showed the 80-ton turbine they had to replace. Very cool show. The B767 show was good, too. I felt sorry for the guy who dinged the plane, as it was a $5 mil. repair job!
