Looks like a D11 slid into a box cut while cleaning up around a dragline. Nothing like a bit of brute strength to lift 110 tons out. These photos have been around for a while but worthwhile posting again while there is a good D11 thread going. Not sure of location but not here in Oz as it appears to be snowing.

Yeh Hoppy, they did lay one on its side a few years before that....
Think thats the one your thinking of???
Not sure of location
Thats the only other accident one i have from there, haven't got anything of a D11 with the bonnet hit, have got one somewhere of the 854's engine house a bit messed up but!
It was the shift you were on with me where that D11 run on to that rock wasnt it??
Belly plates were a little sad and punched a small hole in contvertor?
Yeah did pierce the convertor or bevel gear case from memory fairly vague memory of it think i was only just starting as apprentice then.... I found the photo online somewhere....
Would be good to know where all the old Damage and memorable moments pics went from out there.....Would like to see some more.
Some 11's here in central missouri

This old D11N doesn't look like much but it has over 100,000 hours on it. It will be getting an award of recognition from Caterpillar next week.
