The stakes are high when it comes to heavy machinery. These beasts are powerful, awe-inspiring, but also… downright terrifying. The people working alongside them are always in danger, especially when those giants operate in dangerous environments.

Don't believe me? Wait till you see the most terrifying video at the end.

Let's start with the beastiest machine in the mining world. The bucket wheel excavator is a massive machine weighing up to 14,000 tons and standing taller than a ten-story building.

Their job is to remove thousands of tons of earth and rock every day. This is how we get the minerals dug out of the earth. The excavator's enormous spinning wheels have teeth-like buckets that dig relentlessly into the earth. To estimate their potential, you must know that one of these machines can remove as much material in a single day as thousands of workers using conventional methods.

But with great power comes more significant danger. For the operators, every day is like jumping into risk on their will and coming back home to say, 'It was a normal day at work.' For one, the sound alone is deafening. The consequences can be disastrous if an operator makes a mistake or overlooks an issue. For example, the enormous force of the bucket wheel could easily crush a vehicle or even cause a landslide in an unstable mining area.

Moving on to the unsung heroes of global trade, we come upon the port container cranes working in busy environments. Though they might dramatically collapse in an accident, these beasts are amazing. Working with these machines is just like playing Tetris, but imagine each piece weighs as much as 20 elephants-and the game never stops."
