Smashed



 For old Kadizzle this picture brought back memories. For most of his career Kadizzle was the "Safety Director" at a large surface mine. Kadizzle dealt with at least five of these incidents. The worst was when two blasters were run over in their truck while having lunch. Both tried to jump out, only one made it. The guy stuck in the truck was folded in the seat and by some miracle survived relatively unhurt. The driver of the truck thought he backed over a rock, and pulled forward. 

In another incident Kadizzle got a call on the radio. The surveyor said he was having a problem with his truck. When Kadizzle got there indeed there was a problem. The front of the truck was cut off right at the dashboard. The tractor trailer haul truck came around a turn and the surveyor slid under the trailer in the mud. 

Then there was the day Milton ran over Art's truck. Art parked in a bad place. Milton came around the turn and mash potatoed Art's truck. Art was not in the truck, but he reached in the window and grabbed the radio. "Milton, you just ran over my truck", Milton replied " That's the first I heard about it".
