“Doom” begets DIRTT: How a classic video game inspired revolutionary construction software
More than 20 years after its release, it’s easy to see how “Doom” was a preview of the future of video games.

Excavator unravels a silo into a crumbled heap with a single yank of cable
Even though there was probably a good deal of work leading up to the moment the video below captures, it’s still cool to see something very big fall down with seemingly little effort. In the case of this demolition, it looks like a cable is hooked up to the doomed silo and with one tug, […]

Thief attempts surgical ATM robbery with backhoe before running over it instead
Beyond the selfishness and stupidity of actually attempting the crime, the video below mostly illustrates how darn near impossible it is to get money out of an ATM with sheer force alone.

Crane tips over in work zone, drops roller on top of a car
According to recently released data, the most dangerous work zones in the U.S. are in Texas. However, to Texas’ credit, at least rollers aren’t falling from the sky in the Lone Star state.

High-rise drops but won’t fall after 2 giant blasts to core in failed demolition
After officials deemed the construction process of a 16-story building in the Crimean city of Sevastopol to be “flawed earlier” this year, the building was ordered to be demolished. But apparently, construction was at least good enough to withstand two massive explosive blasts to its core when it came time to bring it down. In the videos […]

Drunk guy in a wheel loader plows through parked cars; is swiftly brought to justice by angry mob
Before you watch the video below, 1) Yes, of course this video is from Russia and 2) some of the video is not exactly suitable for children as this guy takes a few punches. And while violence is never the answer, it’s a bit hard to judge this particular angry mob especially with how much […]

May this hopelessly buried excavator operator refusing to quit digging be your spirit animal in the New Year
Some might look at this video and say, “What’s this guy doing? He’s only making it worse.” And those people would be correct. However, those people are taking a decidedly glass-half-empty approach on life and as we embark on this New Year, there’s simply no time for that type of doom and gloom mindset. On the contrary, […]

This carbon fiber drone is technically a toy, but its indestructible design is perfect for construction use
One of the best, and perhaps worst, things about drones is that they blur the line between tool and toy. It’s why drones, or Unmanned Aerial Systems, are in such a regulatory gray area. Despite their great potential to be used for both good an bad ends, the Federal Aviation Administration underestimated the technology years ago […]

Brazen burglars bust barriers to boost bulldozer in broad daylight
A lot of heavy equipment thefts take place on open jobsites and sometimes because keys are left in the ignition. But when you’re dealing with experienced and determined criminals, not even taking all the necessary precautions to protect valuable machines can keep them from being stolen. That’s the lesson a trucking company in Lakeside, California learned […]

Craneception? Crane lifts a crane lifting a crane, lifting a crane which is also lifting a crane
In one of the coolest machine demos we’ve ever seen, Liebherr chose to show off the capabilities of its crane lineup in 2012 with a stunt that looks as if it were inspired by the movie “Inception.” We start with an LTR 1100 lifting a scale model into the air, followed by an LR 1350 […]

With this DeLorean/Chevy Blazer monster truck conversion, who needs to go Back to the Future?

As they do on most weekends this time of year, Texas A&M officials and fans gathered at the university’s football stadium. But not for a game. No, this time they were there to destroy part of the stadium rather than cheer inside of it. And man is that a beautiful way to blow up part […]

Fun with snowplowing
Who says shoveling your driveway can’t be fun? Last year, I tried to make shoveling the driveway fun by having my two boys shovel along with me and make a fort while doing so. We had races with who could push the most snow and then make snowballs. When my husband’s job was such that […]
