Heavy Excavator Accident Sink Underwater & Stuck In Deep Mud Recovery By Excavator & Bulldozer

These people have no idea what they're doing

Just freakin unbelievable…. Uncoordinated on so many levels… just SMH…..

This is so painful to watch! I've seen many times where these are buried to the door and it didn't take no 2 hours to get out. I would have used some logs floats personally instead of them steel sheets

Wow, watching this was extremely painful, coming from a family of heavy machinery operators.

Letsdig 18 would of already recovered it all by himself. This guys need a supervisor to guide them.

These guys need a lot more training

If you drive by on that road above you can still see them trying to remove that machine today, it has become a tourist must see site. Be safe.

Finally at 1:53 someone says Gee lets try to shift stuff from under the front front of the tracks to reduce the angle. I swear this is the last one of these I am going to watch because my blood pressure can't stand it.

Next time: while the diggers are dewatering the site, have two or three goobers working on the stuck machine to get it running again. This greatly simplifies the process.

One of the things I've noticed about these videos is that they never seem to learn from the mistakes. They just keep trying to do the same thing over and over. It's like, well we got it to work last time, maybe we can do it again. It's almost like they don't want to learn how to do it better and more efficiently.

They call this the half bucket method, it takes twice as long, but it takes twice as long.

The buckets being half full the entire time really gets me

These guys were doing it the hardest way possible

The perfect example of how not to do it...The Foreman hasn't got a clue.

Are winches and snap blocks not a thing? Maybe it's because I grew up in an area that does logging/fishing but you would think they would have at least 1 powerful winch in their fleet. Throw some snatch blocks in with the excavators as anchors and you get an easy 4 to 1 advantage. if the dozer and 2 excavators drop their blades/buckets to act as anchors, they would have a holding power greater than force they could exert while trying to drag the machine. I get a winch and cable are expensive but so is losing time running machines for recovery. If the the cables/snatch blocks are cleaned off and stored out of the rain after use, they should outlast all the machines and people.

This is KILLING ME. Maybe if they all sat down and talked about it , it would be a little bit easer? Would not hurt. These guys are HURTING.

why work clever when you can work hard... what a shambles... dig out either side and get some portable pumps in place... makes things a lot easier than fighting groundwater seepage.. rescue machines can work far more efficiently

What amazes me the most is that the two non stick machines manages to move around in that slurry...

The foreman must have been the guy who got it stuck in the first place, judging by the competency of this "operation"...

The most important thing. Make sure no one uses hard hats and shoes are not required. Standard dress code for these parts.
