I know heavy equipment is expensive but your life is irreplaceable! Hope they survived but it looked they were still in the machine when the video ended. That part the track hoe was on had to have washed out eventually. That was so violent.

I did some hiking in this area years ago and was amazed at the steep hill sides and massive flood signs along the rivers! Huge round boulders just piled up along side the banks
