Here is another mishap this time from our good friend down under Gary Steen.
Someone didn't really think of the consequences of slewing a Caterpillar 345D LME excavator over the side when it's not got it's boom fitted!

It is hardly surprising that this happened when you consider that the counterweight on a 345D LME weighs somewhere in the region of 19,180 lb and the overall operating weight of a fully assembled machine would be around 100,040 lb
