120 40 foot shipping containers shipped to Sochi by boat.
85 tons of air freight
43,000 pieces of inventory
9 NBC Mobile unit trucks
2 studios
2 control rooms
45 edit suites
60 video servers
40,000 cables totalling a million feet
2300 terrabytes video storage storing 60,000 hours
150 cameras
3,000 people
A super fast fiber-optic connection to send all kinds of high-bandwidth video at the same time back to the States...
And 2 tons of pork products. Plus complete kitchen, all food imported from London, and the food service staff operating 24 hours per day. And, oh yeah… Our notorious Starbucks. Even a fully staffed medical office just for the NBC personnel on site.
All built and meticulously tested to be used for 18 days and then torn down.
Come Monday, the load out begins. Wish I could hang out to help.
