    Long story short, the excavator was on the way to rescue a grader that dropped into very soft material. The operator (being a genius) took the same route as the grader and the hoe dropped in since it weighed more.

    The machine sunk fairly deep and they built a pad out to the machine so they had a stable base to work from for the recovery. Building the pad took several days and since it was in the winter, snow accumulated.

    They were able to dig the machine out without incident.......tailings sand is wonderful stuff.

    Yep, not enough braces for a fall from that height. But what you can't see is the Komotsu tha broke it's fall.
    Whatever you do make it count life's short enjoy it!

    I don't think it's "dumb", I think it is more like one split-second of carelessness. Or taking unnecessary chances to impress people.

    I can't say about the dozer and bucketwheel or the crushed D11, but the buried Hitachi definitely was dumb.
