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.

Team 7 forgot the marshmellows....
The poor operator jumped from the cab and broke both his legs!
has to be expected when you jump 8 meters on to a digging face
he only broke one of his legs, clean in half...but still, horrific enough!!
Sure was one hell of a sight watching that burn but..... what a last shift :)
No good bout old mate but...long way down
All that fire supression hoo haa, and it didnt stop the fire...
Asleep in the cab while the fire got going apparently
Asleep in the cab said the cock sucker
