Where's My Dozer?

Here's the world's largest earth mover, built by Krupp of Germany, crossing a German federal highway en route to its destination, an open-pit coal mine.

		Size: 311 feet tall, 705 feet long Weight: 45,500 Tons Removes 100,000 cubic yards per day
		Its bucket wheel is over 70 feet in diameter Each of its 20 buckets holds 530 cubic feet Each bucket can hold a 6-foot man standing inside
		It moves on 8 front tracks and 4 back tracks Each track is 12' wide, 8' high, and 46' long, about the size of a school bus
		Cost: $100 million each Took 5 years to design and manufacture plus another 5 years to assemble Requires 5 operators Maximum speed 1/3 mile per hour


What would happen if this monster inadvertently tangled with a very large bulldozer? No contest!


		Look up there. Near the top of the bucket wheel? See that?
		Yep. That's my dozer!
		To understand just how high in the air this is, look down at those cars in the distance.
		Definitely time for a new dozer!
