We bring to your attention a video that’s way to cool to pass up but never went viral. It’s pretty staged, since the car involved appears to be an old jalopy, but the fact that somebody had the sheer audacity to use an excavator to dump water onto a car is genius.
The leviathan you see in the video is a Liebherr announced the R 9800 Mining Excavator. Rated at 800 tons of service weight the R 9800 has a bucket capacity of between 38 to 42 cubic meters, which is why the car is completely destroyed.
It appears the German show Galileo may be the ones behind the destroy a car with a water-filled excavator bucket.
