It’s Just Cool: World’s Biggest Digging Machine Accidentally Eats a Bulldozer. Really.

By Chuck Cage

Friend of Toolmonger (and sometimes contributor) Lorenzo sent us a link to this crazy piece of news and accompanying photo.  If you look carefully at the above photo, you’ll notice that inside the yellow circle is a full-size bulldozer. 

Apparently the operators cranked up this monster to move it without first locating and securing all the bulldozers.  The digger picked it up like a toy and ran it right through the system.  Look past the jump for a close-up photo.

As promised:
