Yes sir!!! Lots of soiled underwear i suspect, i know i would have crapped myself being an operator of most of those accidents. The pipe on the truck and the crushed cabs on the excavators i would say are the worst.

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.
