$10 Million gone is less than a few seconds - not pretty!
Thought you might be interested in what happens when you leave a 10 million dollar shovel inside the blast zone. I’ll bet someone is now walking down the road kicking a can wondering where he is going to work next!

What about the guy who pushed the button without making sure the blast zone was clear?

The crowd arm (the front part of the boom) and the bucket seem to be OK but the rest look pretty rough. Maybe the engine and hydraulic pumps - if anything the iron may fetch a few bucks but that might be about it.
Lost production will cost the most - replacing the beast will cost be not like the downtime costs.

Reminds me of the beginning of the movie 'Oh, what a party' with Peter Sellers. Blowing up the fort while doing his shoelaces.

Wow... I was trying to Google this to see if I could find out more, and came across this "Serious Accident Report" from Queensland Mining... it's a 2 week report, and it's unbelievable the amount of serious stuff that happens!
