This begs belief............ [video=youtube;ynWgqhZf090]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynWgqhZf090&feature=player_embedded[/video]
Bet he was in for an underwear change....bwah ha ha.
How in the heck was that even possible? Fire the whole darn bunch.!!!!!!!!!!!
stupid first, you have to hope the guys in the hole were ok. after that, what a bad mistake to make. you have a machine that can do the job so why not bench down and get it nice and flat. when you see where the bucket was and the fastening cable it sure seems like they left alot out there. lower the darned bucket down in the hole and hook it up with minimal cable. what a waste. cd
Makes the point why operators should wear a seat belt. I know, it would have been difficult to unsnap him, but the chap is darn lucky he didn't fall down the hole. Wow!
Another couple of classics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOvxzZH9ITs&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Fj7khMwg6g&feature=related
Wow! Thumbs up to the operator.
wow
If they had took the bucket on the mini and pushed down on the counterweight I think they could have made it.
Perhaps, or the mini pushing on the counterweight could have slipped, resulting in death as the 'driver' of the big ex when it gets catapulted....... Basically those idiots are complete morons, step 1: take the bucket off the excavator when lifting, they could have perhaps made it then, step 2: build a level area for the ex to sit or better still built it so the ex is pointing uphill. I shall let those who know more about physics explain the concept of why a machine that is facing downhill and closer to tipping point will not lift as well as a machine that has it weight pushed back. Or perhaps they could have spend money on a crane and come out in front.
Dont need to be an expert in Physics to understand the basics of leverage and counter balance , so these guys(in video ) fail in a BIG way --
