10 100 ft long I beams are spaced 10 feet apart and perpendicularly stacked in layers 30 stories high. Then two competing crane operator teams pull them out one at a time over the course of a TV season, while personal back stories are told. The drama builds until some unlucky operator pulls the wrong
piece and costs their team lots of money.

[rcarty] no, [morrison] yes, that might be better. |

A bun cuz it's as good as any other reality tv shows out there. |

I think there would need to be some serious lubrication
action going on here as part of the setup for removing each
beam. |

Yes, gotta get the teens too. Oiled up female wrestling on just-trucked in stacks of I beams for the first few shows will increase market share. Good idea. |

Funny Idea but I don't think the physics scale that
way. |

Given sufficient violence, it can be made to work. Shaped charges? Or more prosaically, lots of ptfe. |

I think one could have a rigid awl (scaled up) in
place and then tap it hard with a wrecking ball,
impartining enough force to overcome inertia and
shoot the beam out the far side. |

Maybe a mix of beams, logs, shipping containers
etc. A few large "oject d'art" - retired civic
sculpture etc. It would add some strategery. |
