How Volvo Created the Jean-Claude Van Damme 'Epic Split' video

"The stunt is real and is performed in just one take," said Anders Vilhelmsson, public relations manager for the Volvo Trucks brand. "It's a daring stunt but we had full control. There was never any real danger involved."

Van Damme, 53, was hooked to safety lines that aren't visible in the film, and each foot is on a small platform that was built on the trucks side mirrors.

Van Damme's feet aren't secured to the mirrors, video director Andreas Nilsson said, "but we had him rigged so that if he would fall off he wouldn't die obviously. We didn't want to be responsible for killing the Muscles from Brussels.

What's stopping big Bertha? Seattle debates mysterious object obstructing tunnel machine - U.S. News

The area where the machine currently sits, stuck, was once under water. The object blocking Bertha's path may be a remnant of Seattle痴 industrial roots, Lorraine McConaghy, a historian with Seattle痴 Museum of History and Industry said. The mid-1800s saw the construction of a major steam-powered sawmill in the area, and open water surrounding the mill was a dumping ground.
...
的t could be just about any industrial artifact you can imagine that might have ended up in the water, McConaghy said, adding the possibilities included a locomotive or boilers and engines used in the old mill.

I really liked the Godzilla idea!!!

Hey hey !!
I can see the screen play now
: The beautiful and curvaceous scientist climbs through the boring machine to the luminous green face of the object that has stopped the cutting head. Her face shows confusion and wonderment has she hears scraping sounds through the surface. Just as she turns to the tall handsome but scruffy faced hero of a sandhog at her side, cracks appear in the green shell and the nose of lille Zillah pushes into the space full of steak knife long teeth that snap at them. The hero grabs her and pulls her out of reach just in time but a tooth snags her jeans and rips off a chunk of denim that reveals a nicely sculpted cheek that will be center focus often in the ensuing chase scenes.
