just 1 question. how do you get that dozer out of there with it wedged in there. that must have been a job in itself........

Wow!!

That is unreal... How could it possibly make it all the way up! and how stupid would the operator of the cat have to be to come in contact!

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.

Does anyone know the story behind the D-11N?

Looks like it butted heads with one of them there Komatsus.

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.

The picture was taken on the North Toe Berm of the Mildred Lake Settling Basin at Syncrude's Base lease in Fort McMurray and the hoe belonged to North American Construction Group. If you want more specific details, it was about 100 meters from the bottom of the cell 19 ramp.
