A bulldozer, while it was opening a road in Himachal Pradesh's Shimla, tumbled down a mountain-side 300 Metres into a gorge.

The JCB was seen falling along the steep mountainside off the National Highway 5 in Jabli, where it was opening a blocked road. The machine fell 300 metres into the gorge after rocks fell from the hill.

Moments later, a man was seen rappelling down the landslide-hit mountain into the debris towards the driver, who was hospitalised but died from critical injuries.

The incident comes as rains have unleashed fury in the hilly states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Floods, landslides and blockages along highways and key roads have been reported from various districts.

According to the Himachal Pradesh Disaster Management Authority (SDMA), out of the total 179 deaths, 101 deaths were directly caused by rain-related disasters such as landslides, flash floods, and lightning strikes, while 78 people were killed in road accidents exacerbated by treacherous weather and damaged roads.

Ummmmmmm.........would we then refer to the bulldozer as
"Engorged"?

Asking for a friend.

Why the fuck is the camera on an angle like that? It looks like the guy running down at the end would have to be a mountain goat to do that.

He picked the wrong time to doze off behind the wheel.

That looks like some shit we drove over when I was backpacking in the mountains in China. I did this mind trick where I told myself I was already dead in order to lessen the fear of falling off the side.
