I did a double-take when I saw a jet engine outside of one of the entrances to Union Station this morning. Was this some new homeland defense scheme? No, the display is part of this week's General Electric technology expo.

The Guiness Book of World Records says the GE90 is the world's most powerful jet engine. It stands 13 feet high by 25 feet long and weighs 20,000 pounds. It has the power to blow two-ton boulders about as if they were pebbles.

It is indeed a beautiful piece of machinery.
