it may not look much, but that machine was with me for about 90% of the time and it was well looked after, if i had the chance to buy it i would

I found this one on the internet. I don't think it's been shown here yet and I don't know who owns the pic or what happened (I'm guessing the tide came in!).

It happened in avalon, nj. It took them a couple months to get it out, eventually they dug as much as they could out and them started taking it apart. They even went as far to take the house off the tracks. Everything went right to the scrap yard!

These are some pics I got from a friend that works at the FD. Their swift water rescue helped hook up some of the lines for recovery. I heard he was along a path and somehow starting sliding down the side into the green river.

I don't know if you've seen this before. It happened in Sydney Australia not so long back.

This is a brand new (9 days old) 30 tonne capacity mobile crane with a GVM of 29 tonnes and a 47m boom. Looks nice eh?

It was parked on an 8 inch thick concrete slab. Problem started when the boom was fully extended and the slab broke...

The crane balanced there for about an hour until more of the slab broke. I guess it's really stuck now...

I would say that no one did a floor safe loading calc. I would also guessed that they would have cribbed the floor. But what do I know?

alot of washing to do there

Excavator Freed

After 2 months, workers dig out excavator stuck on Avalon beach

AVALON, N.J. -- A 150-ton excavator that got stuck on a beach while working on a seawall project was finally freed Monday after work crews removed parts to lighten it.

Just after 5 p.m., a giant construction crane lifted the excavator up and out of the place it sat for more than two months. Onlookers cheered and workmen at the site were seen hugging each other.

The excavator, operated by a contractor working on an Army Corps of Engineers beach project, became mired on the seashore along Townsends Inlet on March 28 and was subsequently buried in sand as the seawater from succeeding tides inundated it.

For weeks, all that was visible was an exhaust pipe and the arm of the excavator.

Previous attempts to remove it have been thwarted, turning the site into a sort of accidental tourist attraction with locals and shore visitors alike lining Ocean Drive to watch the progress of the work _ or lack thereof.

"You have to see it to believe it," said Dennis Maguire, 54, of neighboring Sea Isle City, watching from his parked van Monday afternoon. "It's very interesting."

The Corps project, to build a seawall protecting the northern end of Avalon from the eroding effects of the ocean, was nearing completion when the excavator got stuck.

"It's a mess," said Mike Johnson, 66, of Ocean City, standing on a seawall with his wife to watch. "It's like when you stand in the sand and your feet keep sinking."

Residents of Avalon, a tony summer resort south of Atlantic City, and neighboring Sea Isle City turned excavator-watching into a spectator sport. They showed up with cameras in hand, some bringing small children to watch the work. Many returned day after day.

"I want to get a closer look," said Gus Schrevelius, 5, holding the hand of his mother, Liz Schrevelius, as they stood on the seawall watching Monday

Kind of an expensive tourist attraction!
