This series of photos is currently doing the rounds on the internet plant forum circuit.
They show the results of a Caterpillar D10R dozer that has got caught under a massive rock fall in a quarry somewhere in America.
Amazingly I am told that the operator got out alive with just a few minor scratches!
Just brings it home that a machine that weighs in region of 146500 lb / 66451 kg can be squashed like a little tonka toy !

that must have been a terrifying experience seeing that coming and no chance to bail out.

Yes Frank, one can only imagine how it must of felt! I wonder how long it took him to get back in the seat again after that experience ?
