- stisaac, on 10/12/2007, -4/+30yeah because it'd be so hard to get out of the way of a monster moving .6km/h
- modsuperstar, on 10/12/2007, -8/+32Doesn't PS3 now officially get to be the butt of all the gigantism jokes now? This isn't 2001 anymore.

- Miyazaki, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26From its Wiki...
"It can excavate 240,000 tons daily – the equivalent of a football field dug to 30 meters (98 ft) deep. The excavator is approximately 240 m long and 96 m high. To run, the Bagger requires a jaw-dropping 16.56 megawatts of externally-supplied electricity, it can travel 2-10 m per minute (0.6 km/h). The chassis of the main section is 46 metres wide and sits on 3 rows of 4 caterpillar track assemblies, each 3.8 m wide. It has a minimum turning radius of approximately 100 metres."

- growlzor, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Hmm first a bulldozer, then a house, then a village then a well you get the picture, this monster must be stopped, everyone knows the machines will take us over one day and with that monstrosity on their side were screwed.
- PathDaemon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Oh, come on. That was so last hour.

- tikistyle, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12That's what she said.
- aliengoods, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I saw this when I was living in Germany 10 years ago(a tour of the operation). Even more impressive in person.

- Wyzard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8First a bulldozer, then a house, then a village? The first thing that came to my mind was "katamari". :-)

- dbug, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Maybe because there was no digg.com back in 1978?

/all i got - maehem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I'd like to see two of these machines go at it against each other. The ultimate BattleBots match.
- Miyazaki, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Saw a special on Discovery channel about giant excavators like these.
This one was located in Germany, in the Rhineland and had to be moved maybe...60 miles?
It was truly a site to see to, something that enormous moving across the land. I believe the arm is longer than a football field. - Absalon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The Machine Wars Begin!
- antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Thanks, but they didn't show much. :(

- thinkdifferent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This suckers electrical. It just takes a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity it needs ;)
- ldavid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yes...but who cares?! It's still interesting to read about and see...

- slampaladino, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This was the subject of a PS contest on Fark or some such about 6 months ago.
- VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1RTFA. The very first thing it mentions is the Collider, AND shows a picture of it. This is the world's largest MOVING machine.

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2i thought the worlds biggest machine was the LHC at cern? or haven't they finished building that yet?
- dougm68, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I bet David Hasslehoff is in on this. That bastard must be stopped!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1digg that down i didnt read the article properly,
