how the EFF did you manage to break an 830 in half!

It's a 789 Cat snapped in half on the frame rails behind the fuel tanks. Porosity in the metal from a previous unknown long term crack.

I get to investigate the major incidents in our heavy equipment operations.

Oh I loved it when they said that, " thats how they hauled it here " JD650 on 32... in the spring...what they don't say, is that it was in the middle of the night, and on the back roads to get there... :)

so what makes you investigate these things? the accident or the broken equipment?
