Photographer Martin Foskett spliced together a video of mining truck accidents. Apart from the maudlin and rather depressing soundtrack, the video makes for an interesting diversion and a reminder that when thing go wrong with mining trucks, they really go wrong.

    Your pictures of mining truck accidents really depict the severity of when things go wrong. Great job!! Thanks for sharing them. I thought I’d share an actual case study of a mining haul truck fire that might be of interest to everyone. Maybe future haul truck fires can be prevented. Here is the link to view the movie:
