Excavator Accident Heavy Recovery Volvo EC210B Komatsu PC200. This accident happen to the Volvo EC210B Excavator when the unknown man open the storm drain gate near the excavator work. The water flows down swiftly and carries the sand below the excavator track. Then the Volvo EC210B collapsed to the water.

 Some excellent machine control and strategy by the Komatsu operator, but what on earth were his ground crew thinking when they ran that cable over the cowlings  That was entirely avoidable.  They have had a lot less trouble with a nice flexible chain than they did with that stiff old cable that was already trying to kink before they even hooked it up.  A good result though, and another big hand for the Komatsu operator.
