VIDEO: Operator rights drowning excavator, averts disaster | Aggregate, Excavation, Dump Truck Company

Unlike most excavator videos floating around the internet, this one starts with an overturned machine in the water rather than ending with one.

We’re not provided with much context on how this operator ended up in this precarious spot. But what we find out is that he’s not one for giving up. As his machine blows bubbles in a serious but not overwhelming amount of water, the operator calmly searches for a good spot on the shore to plant his bucket before getting enough of a hold to right the machine entirely. Check out the video below.
