#1: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 15, 2012 [HINT]
Hmm, something about carting away the Empire State Building?#2: Claudia (clau_bolson) on Oct 15, 2012 [SPOILER]
Edge logic in C1 to start: the 4 clue in R9 has to be at the top of the 10 clue in C1, or else there'll be a 1 in between the 5 and 3 in C2.
Apollo 13?#3: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Oct 15, 2012
Is that a rocket?
They were just showing pictures of them hauling the space shuttle through LA so that's what it looked like to me.#4: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Oct 15, 2012 [SPOILER]
"Who stole Aldège's Castle?#5: Tom King (sgusa) on Oct 15, 2012

Uh-oh! Someone's stealing the skyscrapers from downtown Aldegia.#7: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 15, 2012 [SPOILER]

The Muppets Take Manhattan?#9: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Oct 15, 2012
I found the solve very hard with deep edge logic needed.
It's gotta be Apollo 15. The retired space shuttle they are hauling is the Endeavour whose name honored the command module of Apollo 15.#10: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 15, 2012
Ooh, I like your guess, Joe!#11: Tom King (sgusa) on Oct 15, 2012 [SPOILER]
The space shuttle doesn't have so many windows. :)
