This happened near my job site today.
A crew had been doing a job digging out the creek underneath this bridge to help prevent flooding. The 20 ton excavator was on the bridge half on the roadway and half on the sidewalk. The sidewalk portion of the bridge could not withstand the weight any more and let go sending the excavator crashing down into the hole. Luckily the excavator wasn't being used at the time and nobody was inside it cause the cab was completely crushed against the concrete wall.
I really wanted to stay and watch them get it out, but I had to go do a quote.
Customers come first!!!
Here comes the crane!!
4 tractor trailers to bring it!
I believe this happened sometime before lunch. I drove by at 9pm and they still didn't get it out. Looked like the crane was all set up and ready to get to work, but I just didn't have the time to stick around and watch.
