You know that there is a big construction site in front of our building. Last week-end some workers dismantled one of the tower cranes. It was crane number 3. There were 5 cranes on the site. 

I was wondering how they would do this. I had imagined that maybe an helicopter could be involved. No, of course, they used another crane. I was able to witness all this show as it started early in the morning, before my kung-fu class. 

Two men got on the jib of the crane to take apart the counterweights. It was breathtaking to watch! 

I was surprised that it went so fast. A lorry was expecting down the crane and received the different parts. 

The disappearition of this crane is the first sign that things are now different on the construction site. Another part of the story begins. This is what you are going to hear in today’s episode.
