Did you see him hauling back on the sticks like a man possessed to try to stop it going into the water? If I had to guess, he went over the edge for the same reason he couldn't (or didn't want to risk trying to) use the tracks to help the recovery. Once he was on level ground he was able to jam it into reverse & started trundling backwards towards the maintenance workshop, otherwise my bet is he would have just done a three point turn & driven off the 'beach' forward.

@@austindenotter19 you got that backwards. Cables stretch way more than chain. When a chain breaks, one link fails and the shockwave travels a few links and then the whole chain just drops to the ground.
You never wanna stand as close as that guy was by the chain or cable they were using to pull it out. That guy would have had some problems if he were to get hit.
He might have been gold but all those sight sears that hindered the work would have put the company out of business around here once Osha had seen them running in the way.
Crazy! People rubbing around in front of the excavator and standing right beside where he was digging! Why didn't they just hook that dozer to the back of the excavator? The dozer guy just looked like he was running in circles!

As a heavy equipment operator, I've seen so many different scenarios. From stuff like this to rollovers to a young man losing his life trying to jump out of a push scraper. No matter what you are operating always put safety first guys!!!
Something similar happened in Birmingham Alabama a few years ago. They were filling in a small lake like this with dump trucks. The bank gave way and it tumbled into the water. The driver climbed out the window and swam to the surface and safety. The truck was never recovered. Soft edges are dangerous!

Agree with all comments above. In addition, working close to the edge that wasn't well compacted plus a transmission failure from lack of oil(poor maintenance) added up to a perfect storm! That's why you see signs on some roads' shoulder that say, "soft shoulder!" I knew just excavator wouldn't work!

Coal miner? Just a guess.... LoL... Blade down should have been and automatic response once it was understood that control had been lost yes, but he wasn't planning on dropping off the edge, he was lifting his blade to allow the material to fall out from under it so the machine would remain level when tracking over it for the first time. Ie; gradually establishing a degree of compaction at the crest which could be progressed outwards with the advancing face, *this methodology allows for the final blade to be left at the crest and be situated on material with an already established degree of compaction. Using the methodology where a full blade is left at the crest and is pushed over with another full blade, (meaning there is always a blade of dirt at the crest) and other usual methods for progressing a tip face usually results in the area under the crest bund having a great deal less compaction than the area immediately beside the crest bund... Which in turn possess a higher level of risk when other machinery work close to this crest bund, and is actually the primary reason for tip/haul trucks to accidentally drive through the crest bund. (Especially when the bund(s) is intersected at an angle.) So yea, while blade/bucket down when in trouble is the rule of thumb, this methodology leaves little room/time for this. (Especially if there was an issue with a software setting/upgrade where transmission selections are 'not allowed' in certain circumstances, such as X seconds after selecting neutral and reselecting the previous direction. Such intermittent problems/issues may have caused the op to choose to persist with the issue but unsuccessfully perform the control inputs required to 'bypass' such functional issues/problems due to being stressed and/or inexperienced in such a situation.)
It’s amazing just how cavalier all those people are being so close to working heavy machinery as they are. It’s as if they are all so bored they decided ‘let’s go watch the bulldozers’. They are all so good at giving directions too, especially the ‘chain testers’? The ones who have to stand so close to chains and cables under load so they can see when they’re going to snap! Crazy to watch, but I hope none of them get hurt.
They picked the wrong bulldozer and the wrong operator that morning too, because he should have used a double track driven bulldozer with wide tracks for a job like this one
I had friend of mine who works in the coal yard. I asked him how do you know when to stop if you can't see in front of you with that big blade and pile of coal you are pushing? He said he keeps an eye on the top of the big pile of coal that he pushing. When he se the top of coal start to fall away he knows he is a the edge of the the even bigger coal pile he is driving on and to stop.
Back in the early 80's there was a coal mine close to my familys property and one of the guys was pushing in dirt just like in this video but the bank collapsed and the bulldozer fell into the water and sank 60 feet deep. He had to ride it all the way to the bottom because of the cabin pressure he made it out alive. Crazy things can happen when you least expect them to. They drained the water out as much as they could. They sent divers in and hooked cables up to it and it took them almost a mile of equipment to pull it out. They did rebuild the bulldpzer and its still being used by the county today....
My grandfather was crossing a bridge on a county road in a dozer and the bridge collapsed. Somehow he wasn't really hurt, just a little banged up. Crazy stuff. It wasn't a really high bridge, but it wasn't a culvert either. He fell about 20ft straight down.
wow in the early 80's not many machines had enclosed cabs... he was the luckiest operator in the world, seeing how the machine was also watertight .....
It should be pointed out that this would not have happened if proper technique was observed. The dozers pushing should always have a safety berm on the edge between them and the water. When the push more earth up to the berm, the old material will be pushed over the edge by the new material. That way a safety berm is always maintained. You can see from the other edges that often there are little to no safety berms. So it seems that this standard safety practice is unfortunately not being used here. It is my hope that safety berms will be instituted moving forward. Thx

I was on a D8k years ago & was leveling a huge dyke we were building..I went to put it in reverse,& it kept going forward..I locked the brakes & stalled it,but was so close to going down the end of the dyke in the river..Was a stuck valve, if I remember correctly..
Thank you for showing what your not to do that quick at edge of push. Must be the owner or his son. By the way he came out and started Yelling at everyone one else. I can see the excavator digging a trench. But the strap should have gone on the other Dozer first. My friend was pushing SNOW on a highway that has cliffs on very edge to highway. He worked for DOT, that pushed snow off cliff to clear road. The gears were tight on Reverse. He said it stuck sometimes on shift, on the big Dozer he ran. He said it was scary, with the Rusty old Equipment they used to push Snow. It scared the heck out of him, pushing SNOW off cliff, because Dozer was hard to put in Reverse. This reminds me of his story. He never went over.
I remember getting too close to a 2-1 slope, 250 feet to the bottom and it gave away. The dozer slid sideways and stopped 10 feet down. I was shaking and got off. The other guys told me they’ll take care of it. Got the lecture from a boss about how I could’ve been killed and if the other boss had seen it he’d probably fire me. Back in 1999, I was only 18.
I've seen that happen more than once on construction sites especially building roads on mountain sides. Saw one guy go over and it retired him he was also the best operator we had and I watched him do it twice before the big one. You never can tell gravity is a bitch.
Bet the owner of that company was mad at the guy who ran the thing into the water, but also at the dozen guys who were just standing around watching what was going on and no one getting a damned bit of real work done!
I hope these workers see these comments, and can take advantage of them, they near the estimated steel cable is very dangerous, luckily it happened, but they should never be too close to them.

Should double the cable and move closer to the bogged dozer to get more lift and less likely to break cable 😤🤨
With the depth of fresh dirt and no base too support it, I think that would've made it worse.
Getting closer would make the angle worse
Was half expecting them to all start waving goodbye to the drone when the job was done. Would have been a nice finish to the recovery.

Lol😂Dude did not just walk the machine through the "safety berm" & over the edge like that!!😂
Thank you for showing what your not to do that quick at edge of push. Must be the owner or his son. By the way he came out and started Yelling at everyone one else. I can see the excavator digging a trench. But the strap should have gone on the other Dozer first. My friend was pushing SNOW on a highway that has cliffs on very edge to highway. He worked for DOT, that pushed snow off cliff to clear road. The gears were tight on Reverse. He said it stuck sometimes on shift, on the big Dozer he ran. He said it was scary, with the Rusty old Equipment they used to push Snow. It scared the heck out of him, pushing SNOW off cliff, because Dozer was hard to put in Reverse. This reminds me of his story. He never went over.
What are all those People doing there , do they have nothing else to do.
I remember getting too close to a 2-1 slope, 250 feet to the bottom and it gave away. The dozer slid sideways and stopped 10 feet down. I was shaking and got off. The other guys told me they’ll take care of it. Got the lecture from a boss about how I could’ve been killed and if the other boss had seen it he’d probably fire me. Back in 1999, I was only 18.
I've seen that happen more than once on construction sites especially building roads on mountain sides. Saw one guy go over and it retired him he was also the best operator we had and I watched him do it twice before the big one. You never can tell gravity is a bitch.
Amazing how amateurish some people are to stand so close to a hi tension steel wire rope people never learn
Bet the owner of that company was mad at the guy who ran the thing into the water, but also at the dozen guys who were just standing around watching what was going on and no one getting a damned bit of real work done!
the dozer broke down, you can see him desperately trying to stop it.
You obviously don't understand how these type of sites operate.
No, its all insured!
I don't know why he didn't just turn the key off.
@drivingmylifeaway7149 In this country there would be insurance. Who knows over there. Looked like India
Drone footage is excellent!
I hope these workers see these comments, and can take advantage of them, they near the estimated steel cable is very dangerous, luckily it happened, but they should never be too close to them.
"...wrong dozer lost control and went in water..." How can it be the wrong one? To me it looks exactly like the one which actually went into the water. Am I missing something?!?
Lost in translation since this is a video from a foreign country.
Great job guys! Recovery time was amazing!
I'm sure they had a cable worthy of at least double the weight capacity needed
Absolute rookie mistake going off the edge. He was either green, or in lala land.
