There's a great powerpoint set that shows one of those strip mine
excavators
that picked up a bulldozer and it got lodged in the conveyor belt where
the
buckets dump at the top of their rotation. You might be able to find it
searching for "where's my dozer?"

Definitely an Oh, **** moment. I'd love to see it if anyone finds it. The
post accident investigation had to be interesting.

I have to admit, I have seen all those beautiful pictures of these
power shovels, but this is the first time that I was able to
comprehend their true scale.
