   Saw this some time back, looks like a Allis pulling it back but the dummies did not hard attach the strap and it slips away, one might have even considered parking another machine in front of the tipped one.  Makes me wonder if anyone got hurt.

   What they did not show was the foreman's New 2013 GMC Sierra 4 door 3500 HD pickup truck with only 64 miles on it sitting at the button of the hill.

I saw that one some time ago, kind of wondered what was at the bottom of the hill.  To bad they don't show it at the bottom of the hill.

 Probably not in America. OSHA would be all over them if they were. | |

   I'm thinking central or south America.  I think they were speaking Spanish or Portuguese but couldn't really hear them enough.  Didn't hear a bang at the bottom of the hill so maybe it just ran out of downhill or ran off the road into the brush.
