I follow your posts every week and find them very entertaining. Thanks for all the work you do, it makes the internet relevant and useful hahaha. On this last post was it safe for that loader to be under the 8900? I've never seen anything like this before, and I would be VERY scared to be digging from out under that machine.
This is definately at Moura as this was the only 8900 ever built in Australia, at the time it was the biggest dragline in the world. It operated from the late 60s through to the mid 80s. http://bonzle.com/c/a?a=p&p=266138&d=pics&cmd=sp
Safe? No. However the way to get the dragline back to it's correct position is to slowly remove the material until you hear the dragline starting to move then you get the heck out of there.

Believe this could be from Rio's HVO site

Just for a joke, shout "IT'S COMING DOWN!"

Would have to ask whether or not the use of water canons was considered.
