Seen this shovel working when I was a kid ( back in the sixties) and then took my kids to see it several years ago. Never get tied of it. I wish they would have kept more of these monsters around. Thanks for the video.

to open his parachute.
And the description is in error-- this is the largest electrical shovel in the world. The captain Shovel was not a working electrical shovel-- a man simply built it but it never worked. So, that's one for Big Brutus in KS, 0 for The Captain Shovel.

Well, I just visited Big Brutus today because that is pretty much all my town has to offer. The kids in the lower grades at my school are deathly afraid of it.
Anyway, it stopped mining in 1974. But whatever. It would take years for it to go 10 miles. When it was working, it went 0.22 MPH. How crazy is that?
A couple years back there was this crazy dude that wanted to go base jumping and he jumped off of the very top of Big Brutus. He died before he knew what hit him. He didnt even have time
