Crane crashes into bus, passengers jump from windows and scurry away

I really can’t decide what is more odd about this video. Is it the crane operator’s complete denial of reality as he takes that left turn with full knowledge that a bus is speeding through the intersection right before him? Or is it the way everyone inside the bus immediately begins leaping from the windows […]

Excavator demos building in 1 minute with some strategic shoving

As far as demolitions go, this about as quick as they get. While the size of the barn or stable here isn’t necessarily overwhelming, you can’t help but feel like maybe this small wheeled excavator is a bit outmatched.

Excavator’s thread-like cable snaps, tanker truck in tow goes careening off muddy hillside

To be sure, this hill’s sloppy terrain presents a formidable challenge. This tanker needs to make it up the slope and his friend the excavator is lending a hand. The truck gets oh so close and the excavator gives one last tug to bring the truck home when the piece of floss being used to […]
