I saw this on YouTube earlier. Sure must have been a scary ride. This will certainly ruin your day. A backhoe tips over after the ground gives way.

Oh, that machine didn't just tip over; that was tantamount to falling off a short ledge/cliff. I noticed the operator was moving around at the end of the video, evidently working his way out of the cab. Probably uninjured, except for the ten years' worth of wear & tear on his nerves.

Looks like he dug material out from underneath the concrete and then as he tried to drive over the area it gave way. Just what it loks like to me.

My first thought when I saw him moving inside was "shut the tractor off"!!
I hate to see a good tractor motor go back by being run on it's side.

P.S. Glad the operator was ok, and in good enough shape to turn off the engine!
