Hey Team,
I like it at the last part when the three Barrells (floats) popped up, I was waiting for Jaws to pop his head out and show some fangs...
Hey OilSlick,
I didn't know you started running Excavators. Might want to stick to land for a bit. :fish2:
While my experience with heavy equipment is much different than most of the posters on here I just gotta show my inexperience off.
There was so much wrong with that it's unbelievable. I can't believe that those few guys thought they could counterbalance that excavator! They only needed about 100 more people to do that!
Man it was unbelievable of just how far a pontoon bridge would settle with the weight of a tank on it. Glad I never was the driver when doing a river crossing. Really doubt the driver could have gotten out had the tank gone in. On the M1 it would be almost impossible.
I know I hear lots of guys gripe about OSHA and their rules. Well that's a prime example of a country that has no safety rules and many of our companies here would have workers doing stupid stuff like that trying to save a few bucks if it's weren't for OSHA.
Get on YouTube and loot up crane accidents. A surprising number are from Russia that involve small cranes breaking booms.
Now on another note. Which one of you guys was driving?
