Amazing Junk

Huge open pit mine near Mirny, Russia, East Siberia

525 m deep, 1200 meters in diameter. The air zone within this mine is closed for helicopters – a few accidents occurred when they were “sucked in” by downward air flow…

The giant truck, BELAZ (200-220 ton payload ) , looks like small spot on next picture . . .

Here with small red arrow the track BELAZ 7350 is pointed and Mirny city on the horizon line above . .

Track dimensions are: Length 13,360 mm, Width 7,780 mm, Height 6,650 mm
