fuck?... fuck?... yep fuck

Geesh ..... several large hydraulic jacks, a couple of big cranes, & 1 excellent rigger ..... straight up, straight down, don't over-complicate it like they did here. Bad things happen quickly.

Took the heat of Ensham getting flooded & losing a Dragline LOL

@YaterSpoon86 Yep, just the germans are missing there...

@gregordiesel they were trying to walk the dragline back on to the mechanism that allows it to swing, and it didnt go according to plan.

When you work at curragh you definitly see some "interesting" dragline maintenance

Germans sound funny when cursing.
They tried to reset the machine on what's called the "Center Pintle". It's on this "center pin" that the machine's revolving frame is connected to the Tub underneath it. The Tub is what the dragline sits on and it's what the Swing Circle is located on. They tried walking the machine back onto the Center Pintle and it didn't work

I know, I feel sorry for the poor sole who was in charge of that shutdown. I bet he looking for a new job.
