Another day, another burrowing excavator…

No injuries reported as yet another excavator winds up in the basement.

I’m not saying I would be rich but if I had a pound for every time a demolition excavator finds itself half-buried in an unforeseen basement or underground void, Demolition News Towers would have long since relocated to Barbados and each post would come with a faint whiff of rum and coconut.

And so the report of yet another subterranean excavator will come as no surprise to anyone, with the possible exception of the operator who was stupid enough to park his machine in semi-vertical style in Illinois earlier today.

Thankfully, no-one was hurt in this latest incident; the machine was righted and work recommenced soon after the incident.
