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 think safety concepts where taken out of play and thrown out of the window on this one.
I talked to the people who did this move. These guys specialize in moving very large equipment. They had about 25 miles of road closed. The left-side driver watched the right-side driver and just did whatever he was told. It was mostly left-hand turns and they shredded an entire set of tires on the right side of the truck and trailer.
So did they define that as a success...
If they closed the road, why didn't they just drive it there?
That is a 240-ton Wiseda donated by the former LTV Steel Mining Company near Hoyt Lakes, MN to a museum (Mineview in the Sky) near Virginia, MN. The truck was junk, didn't run, didn't have major parts. The mine donated the truck, the transport company donated the haulage, and a supplier did the work on loading/unloading. The transport company did a lot of "double-hauling" in that area, D11's, large blast-hole drills, trucks, etc.
