Default Woman run over by bulldozer - and lives.

Amazing. And it was up in the Fort McMurray area.

Quote:
Occupational Health and Safety spokesman Linda Park said the woman was riding a quad to guide bulldozers through the forest when one of the massive machines ran right over her.


Fortunately for her, they were on swampy muskeg, so the weight of the machine simply pushed her into the ground. When the 'dozer passed over, she popped back up again, to the shock of the driver of a second Caterpillar, who was following.
Quote:
Park said her only injuries were a broken arm and damage to one ear. She might need surgery for her arm, Park said.

I still think the coolest video that I ever saw was the crewman who got sucked into the air intake on a A-6 intruder and survived.

Wow can you imagine how terrifying that would be…having the weight of that push you down into the mud?...the idea of burying buried or something like that scares the hell out of me

From what I understand, the pilot was watching, saw him go in
and immediately hit the kill switch, saving the crewmans life.

There's another somewhere out there of it occurring on an
aircraft carrier. Don't know the type of plane involved though.
