Historic Swedish church completes first day of move to new location

A historic red wooden church considered one of Sweden's most beautiful buildings completes the first day of its move from the Arctic town of Kiruna to allow the expansion of Europe's biggest underground mine. Kiruna Kyrka, an imposing 672-tonne Swedish Lutheran church from 1912, is being moved five kilometers (three miles) on remote-controlled flatbed trailers, inching along at a pace of half a kilometer an hour over two days.

00:29Of course I was somewhat worried about this you know it's roughly 10 years ago
00:39since we started the urban transformation and start to tear down the old city of Kiruna.
00:47During these 10 years we have been constructing a building in a new center of the town and
00:53the remaining important building has been the church and if you see the church the
00:58the size and the magnitude of it. Of course it has been somewhat challenging to see that it
01:04will be in mode and now we have taken it half the way to the new position so hopefully tomorrow it
01:11will be a walk in the park again.
