    Where do we begin with this one??:Banghead That is Portugese, so I guess we should assume its in Brasil. It appears to be untrained personnel operating the machine, even in the machine that came out to "rescue" the other one.:beatsme

    how can you overlook the obvious? move the truck, crawl the excavator down the bank...no biggie! they're making a much bigger production out of this show than need be.

    It seemed like a good idea at the time...

    I spent a good few minutes trying to work out exactly the same thing but finally came to the conclusion that the truck needed a push and they were ALL that un organised nobody could coordinate the three operations that needed to be done together, 1 to move the truck while the guy in the machine ( cant class him as either a driver or operator ) had to complete the other 2. Levers in his hands and the 2 for his feet. Once the truck driver finally finished his tea break and got back in his truck and somebody else lent in the excavator cab to operate his tracking levers it all started to happen. :beatsme

    That gave me a chuckle. maybe he should have jumped in the machine.

    Can't figure out why they don't just move the truck and walk it down the slope. Idiots.

  15. #15AtlasRob2009-01-16 15:27

    If you time the clip to when the truck driver climbs back in the truck and moves it, ........I'm sure he was on a break :stirthepot
