Re: How to Recover a 777?
What happened? Did the soil just give away under the load I can't really see - is that a kinetic rope or a cable in the first pick?
Would have loved to see somebody try snatching that mother with a normal vehicle

Re: How to Recover a 777?
Thanks John. Those 777's are massive 
I have only seen bulldozers getting stuck and normally it takes something bigger to get them out. Problem is there aren't many things bigger than a 777
