Fun Fact

The Boeing Everett Factory is the world's largest building by volume — 472 million cubic feet of enclosed space. Large enough that you could fit 75 football fields inside. It's where Boeing assembles the 747, 767, 777, and 787 Dreamliner. The factory is also so large that moisture from human breath and ventilation can create internal clouds and occasional rain before the HVAC systems were perfected.
