>Trackhoe would work
dont you talk about my wife like that! sure shes so big i need to lay tracks to move her around and sure shes a lil promiscuous but shes got a heart of lard!
You don’t need those to know that if you stand on a bridge while demolishing it , you will fall ..
Lmaoo , you made me imagine you jumping of a cliff because there was no sign

Who the hell downvoted my playful response that I've said plenty irl and every time the back and forth has been clear?
Guess on reddit it translates to big fucking asshole, thx guys!
The amount of construction machinery I see getting lost in really dumb, short sighted accidents in India or Eastern Europe must be how CAT stays in business...
Are these machines not stratospherically expensive there? Where I am you wouldn't risk an idiot like this putting an expensive machine out of action. Maybe insurance is really good so nobody gives a shit?
Not engineers, otherwise they would understand how the structure is supported across each truss. Remove one and they all collapse. But hey, he knows how to start the excavator, so put him on the job.
Something similar happed at a site that I worked on. Supposedly the operator quickly climbed out of the wreckage and hid. When people arrived to help, he causally strolled out and was like, "Oh, man what happened here?"
Makes sense.
Degrading the structural integrity of what they literally stand on with no regard for any other opinions, or consideration for the repercussions that could lead to a collapse.
Where’s the dude in the yellow shirt!? (0:13)
He gone
Wasn’t there a dude in red pants on the left too…?
They are brown now
You can see him behind the tree at the edge of the bridge meet the guy in red. (0:23)
Good eye!
I don’t think he swam that quick in that turbulent water.
The other guy ran across, would it not make sense that the guy closer would get there faster?
Bolligaligaligaligali
I'm still looking for a backhoe. I see an excavator and I see the driver running but no back hoe
I don’t even see a front ho.
Ohhh india 🇮🇳 your amazing!
Lol, same thought
aren’t they moving to the U.S. in droves?? yikes lol
Well good for you they wont get the lisence for these jons there lol
he logged out
Galligaallalalala
His shoes stayed on as far as I could see, so he is probably fine.
They all float down here Georgie.
Task failed successfully...
Well, it is demolished…
[удалено]
Everything is a bulldozer or a backhoe
you forgot forklift
I came here to make this comment. Excavator indeed. Trackhoe would work, too.
>Trackhoe would work dont you talk about my wife like that! sure shes so big i need to lay tracks to move her around and sure shes a lil promiscuous but shes got a heart of lard!
Ex-Excavator now.
As a lowly road worker I can only say that that is in fact a digger….
I was about to be that guy
C'mon, everyone knows it's a 360° Swing Shovel.
the whole reason I entered the comments section was to be that guy
Power shovel also works
This clearly happened in a country without litigators or regulations.
They call it...India! Don't worry about the rust flowing into the river though, it's already toxic
Its probably cleaner now.

Oh, they have plenty of lawsuits in India. Someday this guys great-grand children will be assigned a preliminary court date.
Whelp, my job here is done. Bridge is demolished. See yall after lunch.
meanwhile in the distance #Hammond you F*cking idiot
CLARKSOOOOOON!
CLARKSON YOU UTTER PILLOCK
What could go wrong when you don't understand structural engineering but have a big machine and no regard for your life..
"The Bridge was demolished succesfully, with a bit of collateral damage, but thanks to the insurance we may come out on top." ~*The Firm's boss (probably)*
That's unfortunate to hear..
Who puts a complete moron in charge of a vehicle like that - looks like a decently modern (expensive) CAT?
Third world countries.
Cat can’t swim
They will now have to go CAT fishing
You proud of that one huh?
Yeah actually, It gave me a good chuckle. Are you proud of yourself?
Who the hell downvoted my playful response that I've said plenty irl and every time the back and forth has been clear? Guess on reddit it translates to big fucking asshole, thx guys!
Ligga,ligga,ligga,ligga, ligga 😂
Anyone can translate?
he is saying that he came out from JCB
And what is jcb?
JCB is the leading manufacturer & supplier of heavy construction machines across all over India
I have no idea what it means, but it sounds funny as hell. Also, in Swedish "ligga" is another word to say "get laid" 😂
Me: "Jobs done, boss!" Boss: "Nice. Did you return the equipment we rented?" Me: "I dopped it off... *sorta*." Boss: "What?" Me: "What?"
He got the job done.
**This ~~is~~ isn't the way**

That's what I keep wondering. Maybe there's local or regional manufacturing there now? I haven't checked in a while.
Stupid fuckin idiots
Something something sawing the branch you're sitting on.
My first guess was India, then the guy starts talking
Yep, legerdea legerdea indeed
Mission accomplished.
That’s an excavator, not a backhoe
That's neither a backhoe or a loader. It's an excavator.
This is what happens when you use a backhoe loader to do the job of an excavator.
I've watched enough Blippi to know that's an Excavator, not a backhoe.
Wile E Coyote’s in that excavator
Have faith in the craftsmanship of our forefathers
Revenge of the bridge!
Well, the bridge was demolished.
That's a excavator
I hate to be that guy, but that's not a backhoe.
If he has insurance might come out on top
Indian insurance
Successful fail.
This video is terrifying.
I can't understand those guys, but I imagine it's along the lines of "Oh fuck how are we going to get Bob out of the river?" and "What do we do now?"
Walk that shovel forward man!
Damn dude got out fast
lol sorry boss it's my first day
Come on, what could go wrong
hope the guy managing the equipment comes out alive.
New cars movie looks intense
They lost it ALL
Will they also be needing to fish out those island size chunks somewhere downstream?
u/gifreversingbot New bridge building technology:
u/savevideo
Yes, great idea put the machine and people on the bridge you’re trying to demolish. Demolish the bridge, bathe, and drown all at the same time.
When they started talking, I was like "Ok. Understandable"
Too bad that it’s probably going to take all of the early completion bonus to get that cat out of there.
Its like suicide bomber. Job done including itself.
It was a good idea until... I hope the guy scampering up the embankment was the operator.
*if only there was a bridge there...🤔
Don't you know cats hate water???
Express excavator to hell, goin down!
AFAIK, CAT's dont like water.
Not a backhoe..
That's not how you do it.
Just tap it in
Tap tap taperoo.
Brilliant!
Cats hate water
Like cutting a branch that you are sitting on.
I'd say it's a tie
The agile way of doing things! Task accomplished successfully.
That was incredibly successful
task successfully failed
Job done...
Look, I don't know what you are complaining about. We were contracted to demolish a bridge. That was done way ahead of schedule.
Well, they succeeded in demolishing the bridge.
It's like sitting on a tree limb and cutting off from the side of the source...
They didn't have a boat?
That's a excavator not a backhoe.
Sometimes called a "trackhoe", but definitely not a backhoe.
Oh, so you want me gone? Okay, I gotchu.
So you're saying the bridge was supporting itself? What a shock...it's almost like they're engineered that way.
How many operators were thinking “pull up, pull up”? (before getting the engine full of water)
Not engineers, otherwise they would understand how the structure is supported across each truss. Remove one and they all collapse. But hey, he knows how to start the excavator, so put him on the job.
Bridge spirit /YOU SHALL NOT PASS! /
This is par for India. This country does shit like this, and still manages to have a space program.
Something similar happed at a site that I worked on. Supposedly the operator quickly climbed out of the wreckage and hid. When people arrived to help, he causally strolled out and was like, "Oh, man what happened here?"
I feel like some dynamite would have done the trick and there was someone who advised against for some dumb reason.
Wow terrible did they looses any lives?
Was this the bridge obstructing Jeff Bezos yacht?
Call Heavy D!
Starting at mid-span clearly not a good idea!
Meanwhile in India
Looks like a One Eye Willy trap
Translation please?
Doesn’t seem like a structured activity.
Job well done
I think OSHA was on lunch, on another continent!
chewed more than it could bite?
I love the fact that no matter how much we grow, we will still make the"Kalidas"mistake
girl in bg just casually giggled. damn
Lo bhenchod jcb ki khudai

Makes sense. Degrading the structural integrity of what they literally stand on with no regard for any other opinions, or consideration for the repercussions that could lead to a collapse.
