Metropol Parasol
In Seville, Spain, there's a lot more going on at the local market than fresh food. The Parasol is the world's largest wooden structure, covering the hot market with a much needed shade - it's also a work of artistic and technical genius.
Storch
Reporter Dan Riskin travels to Germany to check out this remarkable airplane from the 1930's. The Storch has a ridiculously short take-off and landing distance... and Dan's about to get a test flight.
