  • Looks like soft earth on the side the Shovel fell over. I've never seen this footage before, kind of wonder how something like this could happen.
  • I saw the aerial view of this first, the tracks looked small next to the machine, it's really hard to grasp the size of these things without actually seeing them it in person. Thanks
  • A really bad day for everyone associated with this machine. I just hope no one was hurt when this tipped over on its side like this.
  • wow the crawler assy. stayed put and pulled right out of their housing
  • I'd think they would have had professionals plan & prepare much better, when moving such an expensive & (basically) irreplaceable mining shovel as this one. If this shovel was repaired, I imagine the repair process would have taken weeks or months, & would have been quite expensive.
  • I'd l Iove to know the story behind this...please keep putting these vids up I grew up around this stuff and coal minin is thick in my blood...
  • Whatever became of this machine? The only thing I could find online was a later picture, date unknown.
  • Always heard it was an insurance job, they knew the ground was swampy and TVA was slowing on coal consumption
