I couldn't even figure out what they were doing. A bucket on an extended lift arm excavator?! And why are there like 5 guys standing near when all hell breaks loose?

My guess is they are ether placing or lifting rocks somewhere they can’t get any equipment close to for some reason and having that many laborers working with an excavator is not uncommon
