  • Lost , a fleet of great big yellow dump trucks and loaders ?

    It seems this McMahons was new to site and had scored a pretty good contract to have their trucks working at a particular mine. The trucks were delivered to site and one of their supervisors spotted an area that was clear and big enough to park all of their trucks (these trucks are huge mind you). He had them all lined up nicely and they knocked off for the day. What he didn't know because he was new was that he'd parked them all up near the ore stockpiles. During the night the huge piece of automated machinery that creates these stockpiles (you can see it in the background of the 5th pic) moved down the line like it always did and dumped it's ore in the areas designated to hold the stockpiles.

    Come the next morning the well rested supervisor couldn't find his trucks anywhere....











    There's more than one truck under there, the loader was lucky
    McMahon were removed from site once their trucks were dug out and their contract will probably be terminated if it hasn't already

              I posted this in 2010, for some reason someone dug it up (no pun intended) and replied to it recently.
