Some objects are built with purpose. Others are built with ego, ambition…and a total disregard for scale. In this gargantuan episode, Shane and Duncan dive deep into the most colossal creations humans have ever unleashed on land, sea, and sky.

Prepare to meet the Seawise Giant, a ship so long it could cast shade on a city block. Marvel at Bagger 293, the German earth-eater that looks like it escaped from a kaiju movie. And brace yourself for the Dongfang wind turbine, whose blades are longer than a football field.

These are mega-monuments to human excess—massive, magnificent, and maybe just a little bit ridiculous.

Also in the lineup: the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest skyscraper, and the FAST radio telescope, a mountain-sized ear tuned to the whisper of the cosmos.
