Drill baby drill, if you haven't seen what happened when a 14 inch drill bit met

[HysteryDiagnosis]

a salt mine you might be surprised at what the outcome was.

but true.

Thanks for posting a real gem.

3. Unreal, yes and so is this if you haven't seen it. I think the turntable in the

beginning belongs to Big Muskie the largest dragline ever built. It's as if the dozers are paying homage to the chosen one in this pic.

2. Amazing. A small mistake? That isn't a small one. But it is a great

tribute to man's stupidity. And to the continuing stupidity to those who come up with a slogan like "drill baby drill".
Because the idea is that indiscriminate drilling is stupid, useless, and very dangerous.
To drill for oil, you must drill where the oil is. That is the major reason why they drill in the middle east.
That's where the oil is.
But it's also so important to not drill in certain areas.
I do think it appears in the video that they try to blame the thing on the 'drill bit'.
It has no such thing to do with the drill bit. It has all in the world to do with the idiots running the drill bit.

4. Oil often is found around salt domes.

8. Exactly zero, but then you already knew that. It was a mad dash for the elevator

don't you know.

5. WOW!

I don't remember hearing about that. Stunning and sad.

9. That's a lot of suck.

Actually it's push, but it really sucked.
