Not the photo I set out to take, but I'm very pleased with this one.


That is quite striking. I like it.

This popped up on FB today.

Seems like an expensive way to crush concrete.

That's awesome, assuming no one was hurt that is.

The comments were no one hurt, the guy driving the excavator loading the crusher needed new pants. No damage to the actual jaws of the crusher but everything else is toast.

The local steel mill here used to take baled army scrap via rail from cali. After the melt shop was blown apart for the about 10th time do to large live ordnance in the bales, they put the kibosh on taking that scrap anymore. My friend ran the bridge crane in the melt shop for 38 yrs and said it would about knock the crane off the rails when it happened. I'm glad we don't have to worry about buried bombs in the fields here.

It's amazing that no one was seriously hurt by that explosion. The carnage looks almost surreal -

Model A that belongs to our ex-mayor. I wonder if he sold his 57ish LS1 powered Chev Belair to buy this one?
