Here is an aerial view of the Pioneering Spirit, a giant installation and removal vessel. 

In fact, it is the largest construction vessel ever built coming in at more than 1,250 feet long and 400 feet wide (382 meters by 124 meters). 

Here is the vessel eyeing up an oil rig that it will ultimately be removing the top of. 

At first, I didn't think that this would be possible, but just you wait and see...

This is an incredible view from inside the vessel showing it lined up perfectly with the oil rig. 

What happens next is just brilliant...
