While digging a deep hole for a pumping station, apparently the ledge gave way and down she went!

    Who said these guy’s were operators? Looks to me like a bunch of idiots trying to rip the tracks off of the excavator to me!!🙄🙄🙄
  • Painful to watch.Dig a ramp in front of the div and track it out 3 machines and NO brains
  • @ronaldregan5476
    Trying to pull it out of the hole with no operator... Wtf? Every one of these guys should be restricted to Tonka.
  • @tsant6591
    These are stick pullers, not operators. I'm glad this was captured on video so everyone can see NOT how to recover an excavator!
  • @awdeveau
    Seems they will rent equipment to anyone. Not a one of them had a friggin clue!
  • @jimp9096
    I have NEVER seen such a group of non operators in my entire life. They have 2 excavators destroying the one in the hole by ripping it apart, instead of first taking 15 minutes digging a simple ramp so he could track himself out with no problem.
  • @alexrenzi5967
    He could get out of the hole so easily, unbelievable
  • @cryptopyro
    It would appear that there is a level of cluelessness with those machine operators. Any good operator would drive the excavator out of that hole without any issues.
  • @jetvette66
    The "ledge gave way".....so let's park two more on the ledge.
  • This may not seem obvious at first but the counterweight was tuck inside the hole. That prevented the excavator from being able to move its boom sideways and digg dirt out the way to create a path. Either way, all they needed was one track to lock bucket with the one in the hole and give it leverage to track out the hole.
  • @diggeraver
    Not an operator between them. Any one who is an operator knows that machine would walk out of there!
  • that guy has no business in that trachoe, my little girl could of got that out in about 15 mins....lol
  • @EthanAnthony907
    7:44 near miss. Nothing is so important as to cut it that close with men on the ground.
  • These types of incidents are why it's so hard to get into heavy equipment operation without years of experience.
  • @Torqu3d
    Can't believe they didn't rip the tracks off with that genius move at the beginning
  • @kunstsein
    That guy leaving the pit at 7:40, nearly got the hardest smacking of his life. Which would be over then, i reckon. Close one.
  • @blknies
    Ok I see NO reason that machine couldn't get out unassisted
  • @hemidp
    now we know. if stupid fell in a hole how would it get out
  • @jasonrob5533
    I would fire every one of them. An operator never leaves his seat. And by golly there wasn't an operator 1 on this job that I could see.
