Found this mining video, pretty interesting and shows both historical and modern day stuff.

Nice video, I have friends that work up there. Google the recent slide, incredible pictures!
This is about an hours drive from my house.
Cheers!

Wow, that was a massive amount of dirt that moved! Was that intentional or uncontrolled?

They knew it was going to slide, but didn't get stuff moved fast enough! One of the haul trucks looked like a mighty Tonka, that got attacked by a sledge hammer! Bed was twisted!
Cheers!

Found another mining video that I had not yet seen. Lots of good footage from Kentucky.

Nice video. The humming sounds you hear in the cab of the dragline are the variable inductors mounted to the ends of the control levers. I replaced mine with 10K potentiometers to control my speed controllers. I wish that guy got some footage of what the operator was doing with controls while the bucket is in motion.

Another great video!
