        13.3 metres is obviously more than 1% of 1250 metres. The pic with the truck as a dot is thus fake.

            If there are several more like that around in the same area, watch out for some huge juxtaposed letters reading "Borehoel cluster" from space...

              Thats an impressive big rig truck . In the oilsands they are typically using the caterpillar 797B. Its similar size being 1.1m longer, 2.1m wider and and less than a metre taller

                Anyone ever read Steven King's aka Richard Bachman's "Desperation". You can think of King whatever you want but in that book is described a mine that must look like that one TAK!

                  No retaining wall or fence? Russkies.

                      Yes there is, it's 20m high and 3m strong, with watch towers and barbed wire. The whole mine is just so huge you can't see these on the pics.

                        I do believe that that method is a pretty typical method of open pit mining. The huge trucks need a reasonable grade to climb so the corkscrew road up the sides of the pit make the most sense

                          I wonder how many times you must go in circles before you reach the ground, and how many years it takes.

                            I wonder if you get dizzy.

                            I noticed there weren't any safety railings. Short cut?

                              Safety railings

                              Operating Weight - Empty
                              557372 lb / 252820 kg


                              The CAT 797B truck (Belaz would be slightly smaller) weighs half a MILLION pounds EMPTY and 1.3 MILLION pounds full so exactly what do you propose that would serve as a safety railing
