Stuck Shovel
This shovel has got itself stuck into a good ditch. The operator must have forgotten that his treads weren't pointing the same direction that he was.

About Mining Mayhem
This blog is to collect mining incident photos and mining accident photos. It aims to be the definitive resource for photos of this type.
These photos typically only pass around in email circles in the mining industry, and are not well known outside of it.
I'm always looking for new mining accident pictures, please feel free to send any photos you've got through to me.

I worked on this one! there is a soft spot of oil sands and the shovel sank on one side.
I wasn't in on this one, but have been in on a few others. Come to think of it, we haven't had a stuck shovel for a while........
The funny thing is our shovel 79 did this same thing today....was looking for a pic to show my dad hahahaha
