Giant spider invades UK city

September 07, 2008

A very big mechanical spider named 'La Princesse' comes to life for a crawl around the city of Liverpool in northern England. An estimated 5,000 people watched La Princesse as she came out of hibernation. Further crowds flooded into the city to watch her make her way through the streets. The 2.6 million U.S. dollar street theatre production, operated by French company La Machine, is part of a cultural event aimed at promoting tourism.
