doesn't look like the lamp standard hit anything when it fell, lucky.

Oh yikes! :eek:

Woah lucky nobody got hurt! Car in first video probably got damaged though.

Side note, I'd love to take one of these big construction vehicles for a spin. Anybody here used one before?

shit that is scary!!!

^ Got to play with an excavator (just like the one you see in the video) once @ 12, helping my dad's friend demolish a house. Those things are seriously fun. :D

The only thing I remember you having to be careful of is to not overextend the arm, or you'll tip over. It doesn't really damage the thing but it's scary when you suddenly go over. Of course you just use the arm to right yourself again.

That is terrible! Would like to know the excavation/demolition company resposible for this accident...LOL their insurance rates just sky rocketed!

those are called excavators. my dad being an import/export of those types of machinery, recommended that i learn how to use them so a few yrs ago in vietnam i got to tear up a field with one of those.. good times

w0w

that sucks haha

Who do they hire to do this? Monkeys?

somebody is getting fired

^yeah wtf this is just terrible

fuck...this noob fucks shits up and hes just like oh oops...lets try that again *light pole goes down*....oh eh...i guess i should start looking for a new job

I run/maintain equipment for a living. 99% of the time it's pretty boring since you're just moving dirt from A to B.

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say "somebody gonna get a hurt real bad.... somebody"

Never hiring Global Excavating & Demolition.

That is scary shit. When they were building the theatre downtown that is now Scotiabank theatre I believe they had a concrete form fall on a Saturday morning. It went right across 4 lanes on Burrard and by some fluke managed to not hit any people or cars. If it fell during a weekday the results would have been different for sure.

holly fuck, glad no one was there when it got knocked down
