Rear-Dumper Over Spoil

Highwall Failure Onto Loader

Dawson Light Vehicle

Anglo, and especially Callide Dawson, have been making the news for the last week. This is one of the incidents that lead to it. A very lucky operator was able to get out of the car before it got run over.

Big thanks to a reader for sending this through.

Edit: As many, many, people have noted, this incident was at Dawson, not Callide.

Fire at BMA Blackwater workshop

This incident happened a couple of years ago. BMA Blackwater had a bad fire in their main workshop. This is the only photo that I've ever seen of the incident. Sent in by a reader.

Scraper on Side

Rear-Ender

These have got to be some of the most dangerous accidents that you can have in a truck.

Dragline Bench Failure at Moura

Dozer at Moura

Got this great photo in the mail the other week. It's amazing just how many dozer operators forget where they parked their own car.

Those D11's have poor rear visibility at the best of times, but with the single-tine ripper, there's no way he could have seen that car.

Standing Rear Dumper

That's pretty clever. I've never seen anyone tip out their load without lifting the tray before.
