When a BELAZ driver is in too much of a hurry
Without exaggeration, a shocking accident occurred at the Taimyrsky mine near Norilsk, which almost cost the life of the dump truck driver
The emergency occurred on November 13, but information appeared only now, when a video recording of the incident appeared. The driver of a BELAZ mining dump truck was in a hurry, forgetting to lower the body after unloading. As a result, a huge colossus at full speed demolished the overpass along which the high-voltage cable was thrown
As a result, a powerful explosion occurred, destroying the car and cutting off power to the enterprise. At the same time, as NGS reports with reference to the head of the press service of the Polar Branch of PJSC Norilsk Nickel Evgeny Erokhin, the driver miraculously was not injured.
It should be noted that underground during the “doomsday” there were 50 miners who, due to the lack of electricity, were locked in cages. The evacuation took more than three hours, and it took about half a day to completely restore power supply.
