You know, I was really having a hard time understanding it’s scale, but seeing it’s 0.00152% the length of the Pacific Ocean cleared it right up.

The video doesn't mention it, but the thing was built in 1995. It's already more than a quarter of a century old.

Honestly I think the most impressive and/or terrifying thing about this is that it's run by just five people.

I grew up near some of these behemoths. It's unimaginable how big these appear to be in person, inside the humongous hole they have dug themselves into.

The video doesn't give justice to how big this thing really is. Also the hole it dug out is enormous. Its really mind blowing if you stand at the edge.

“It turns the ground into not ground, a process some experts refer to as ‘digging’” that cracked me up omg

[xenon]

as someone who drives past a quarry pretty often, there's a fine line between mining equipment and decepticon weaponry.

Fun fact:
Since the invention of the first automobile, there has always been a largest vehicle at a time in history since.

I'm a little disappointed that this feat of engineering wasn't the result of some law somewhere that said, "Thou shalt only have one bucket wheel extractor" and some coal exec saying, "Hold my beer...."

"Let's search up some German words and make a video about mining with them - Ah yes, Schaufelradbagger"

They have one of these in Fallout 76 and it is absolutely massive. Trying to defend it from enemies is almost a three man job because of how much space you have to cover

*31M lbs = 31M x 1 pound*
Very informative, so interesting

Sam really is just testing the limits of what he can get away with saying these days.

I'm glad they started using both of the measurement systems. It makes it a lot easier!

[TheCommissarIsDead]

I was a trains, panes and automabiles kid and I remember the vhs tape about construction equipment and I remember seeing something like this growing up with the backhoe that destroys the bridges and roads, so this videos felt right at home

A massive steel leviathan with blades covered in gore. Beelzebub himself will fear the bagger 288

4:16 Actually, since it is in Germany the Operator team of the mine is probably unionized.

I love how you compare everything really puts it into perspective

Suddenly the Earthmover from Ultrakill doesn't seem THAT insane...

You started at 3 when numbering the buckets just to bug us, didn't you.
