In the image below by UrbanToronto Forum contributor skycandy, a crew member at a residential construction site in Toronto prepares to receive a precast concrete cladding panel that is being hoisted into place by a crane. Now in reality, there are a couple more crew members hidden from sight at this angle, but nevertheless, those panels must weight 10 quadrillion pounds, and it looks pretty much impossible that such heavy materials could be guided into position by so few hands. Still, this is how it's done, so it works, and the photo therefore suggests that anyone could manage a 10 quadrillion pound panel, just give us one, and we'll show you!
