Major Mishap

Post #1 by 38RBSII » Sat Feb 02, 2013 8:25 am

I passed this rather unfortunate situation in Port Hedland, Western Australia yesterday morning. It is an iron ore reclaimer which seemed to have fallen off the trailer while being moved. Easily 250T here, so it will need a major crane operation to retrieve it.

Follow the link below for some better photographs. At 350 tonnes weight, I wasn't surprised to see it was in the process of being dismantled when I passed it again yesterday.
