For those who frequent Changi Airport, go there often to pick up families/relatives/etc, UG drivers, do note the change. Cheers.

Usually, when a vehicle breaks down on the road, we would see it being towed by a normal tow truck or placed on a truck with a flat bed at the back. And when you need to tow big and heavy vehicle, you would need a heavy duty tow truck, probably, one with a hook and chain that could winch it. But what if the vehicle is a space shuttle and it weighs around 300,000 pounds (136077 kilograms)? You might think that a special type of tow truck is needed to pull all those extra weight. But, the answer is no. You just need a pick-up and Toyota will prove that its Tundra pick-up is possible in doing that. A Toyota Tundra is to tow the space shuttle Endeavour on its last leg of journey to the California Science Centre. It is slated to tow the gigantic machine on October 13, 2012 and the Endeavour will be permanently displayed at the above mentioned venue. The Endeavour is said to travel a total of 12 miles (around 19 kilometres) from the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on city streets to the Science Centre, with the Tundra pick-up towing the Endeavour for the last quarter mile. Before Toyota Motor Sales USA (TMS) made the announcement, tests were done extensively on the Tundra to see if it is capable of pulling such heavy weight. The Endeavour will be pulled by a stock 2012 Toyota Tundra CrewMax
