Look at this monster!!!!!!

I worked a large dragline in Wyoming that was (at the time) the world's 2nd largest. From where it started scooping up material, to where it dumped it, was over 1/8 mile...in one pass...and the bucket held something like 75 cu. yds of coal. Only a bit smaller than this one:

IIRC, if they develop an oil leak, they don't stop to fix it until it exceeds 100 gallons/hour...

Don't worry, it seems that no matter what you find, there will be someone who has seen it a million times before. Doesn't mean the rest of us don't appreciate it! :thumbsup:

It ate a D8 no less, which is like the 3rd or 4th biggest bulldozer in the world.
 
That thing was on the 'Mega Machines' documentary on the Discovery Channel.
The amazing thing was when they needed to move the sucker to another mine 40 miles away. They actually drove the thing through fields and roads and under bridges all the way to the other site.

😕 I didn't say I didn't appreciate it, in fact I haven't seen a compilation with as many pictures of it as this one has, but it's still been posted lots of times before in different collections.
 
Yeah I've seen it before, still cool though. I don't quite get what the map is showing (from the link in the OP), it's like a big circle with smaller circles around it? I don't understand what that's showing. Unless there are more than one of those machines 😕

I think the red circle is illustrating where a particle accelerator is located beneath the surface. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider

Its a PARTICLE COLLIDER/accelerator for science experiments, basically there are tubes underground and particles fly in a huge circle (like 20 miles) and then scientists try to zap them/stop them and other freaky things 🙂

Well...I still don't get it, but it sounds boring 😛. Thanks for explaining though (both).
