this reminds me of a tenticle creature out of half life.

Wow. This is a tough room!

Not a fail, it is crawling out of its spawning ground. This is how they are born.
True that fasticuffs! I had always wondered how they were born….
in other news, someone from china dug their way to this side of the world for a change.
WIN
I’ve heard of digging yourself deeper, but this is ridiculous.
fake?
It’s one of those awful poking things from half life…
This is like a bad impression of Ferngully.

I saw lots of similar stuff in Nome, Alaska.. There was a gold rush there and there’s all sorts of crazy abandoned machinery in the weirdest places..
As Steve sayed, this happens when somthing getts abandoned, the snow will pile up and over a period, it will be covered in snow or as the snow melts it washes sedement into the hole and burries it, seen it happen to smaller items, but nothing that big.
Much like the creation of sediment layers and fossils…
not true, this happened near me in avalon, nj due to wet sand and tides .. .
Hahaha!!! Dude, the digging bit goes in the ground!
I call it Karmic Retribution … for all those years this thing picked on the dirt the dirt finally fought back and won.
am i an incurable world of warcraft addict if i look at this picture, and all i see is the shimmering flats?
No, no, no… Dig UP, stupid!
It dug it’s own grave
It happens a lot in Russia. As described by Mike Horn who saw some sites like that, when a quarry does not offer ressources anymore it is cheaper to leave everything there than to send all the cranes / trucks back.
In Soviet Russia, the hole digs YOU.

The Ant Lions upgraded..
^^ LOL! Best post!!!
It commited suiside by burying(sp?) itself. Win.
Permafrost victim. This happens a lot in northern Canada and Russia. Cranes, Oilwells, even buildings can just sink. When we’re lucky, it happens slow enough to escape.
The digger digged itself o3o
Where’d it go…?
This seems a bit ironic
Not only is the poster of this supposed fail a failure, but the rest of you as well. If you must know that cranes are detachable in order to use it with a different device with it. The second failures are the rest of you for not knowing why the digger part was left behind, perhaps not to far from site, they needed the main rig. No one thinks in here I have noticed, just type in hopes that their comment would be of some kind of intelligence.
Mig: umm no, it is you that is among those without inteligence. First: If they just detached the bucket arm from the body because they needed the body for something else, the arm would be simply laying on the ground not embedded in the ground sticking up. Where the ground starts is not the end of the arm, there is one more arm segment. Secondly: Note sizable depression in the ground around said arm just big enough to hold said crane body. Judging from the landscape (wide flat featureless and tree-less valleys in-between tall mountains) and presence of snow I’d say this was in one of the the tundra regions of the northern hemisphere. A region where there are vast areas of bogs with indeterminate depth which have a tendency to swallow anything that might venture into them. Also there are other areas of said region where the soil is so loose and wet that it is only solid enough to build (or put heavy things on) when it is frozen so things have to be anchored in deep enough to be sufficiently below the top of the perma-frost (the layer of soil under the top surface that is deep enough to have a stable temperature such that it remains frozen year round.) This layer can start anywhere from a few inches to several feet below the surface and if there is a particularly long or warm summer the top of the permafrost layer can retreat even further into the ground. This would make anything sitting on it or anchored below the ground into it sink down into the newly thawed muck. So either someone drove the backhoe (or it slid) into a bog, got stuck, and sank (definite failure) and the bog is in the process of leeching back around the backhoe (which can take as little as a few minutes to a few hours), or the ground thawed to the point where it could not hold the backhoe’s weight and sank into the mud (not as big a failure as the potential bog scenario, but still a failure for not moving the backhoe to more stable ground when it started to sink.)
Mig, I have to agree with smt. He makes a good point about this picture. Me on the other hand, thought that the machine owners had the machine and left it in the middle of nowhere. I thought that maybe it snowed and buried the machine.
I will say I am embarassed for reading “there are vast areas of BLOGS with indeterminate depth which have a tendency to swallow anything that might venture into them.”
talk bout diging ur own grave :p
