Standing in the heart of the North Sea, Brent Bravo spent four decades producing oil and gas for the homes and businesses of Europe. But the end of its service presented perhaps the biggest challenge of all: how do you lift the roughly 25,000-tonne topside of an oil and gas platform so you can deliver it from a hostile sea to a safe place for recycling?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
