GREAT VIDEO!! Yes, those school buses are built very strong per Government standards and are the safest vehicles on the road. If the excavator operator held the controls wrong, could the bucket come into and crush the cab of the excavator, or is this beyond the movement range? Thanks...
Если в баке дизельное топливо неужели нельзя его слить? Выливать на землю это же вредно для экологии. Если дизеное топливо хорошее можно в экскаватор залить.
Why do they allow the fuel to spill out onto the ground? Here in Australia they have much stricter regulations now than they did years ago. I never understood why they would just puncture the fuel tank and let it drain out onto the ground. Were you told any reasons to do this by your employer or coworkers? Fuel nowadays is a blend of several different liquids cracked off at the refinery, back when I was growing up it was leaded, unleaded, or diesel that were the main fuels that went into combustion engines. They still made blends, and they phased out the leaded fuels eventually. Lots of history in how fuel has evolved since the 70's and 80's.
I’m not sure why they allow this but they do. I no longer work there and some customers would drain the fuel before bringing it there. I know there should be some kind of method of catching all the fluids coming out of it
Same here in the UK. It's highly illegal. Every yard must recover all fuel from vehicles prior to being scrapped. There are also regulations that cover run-off - for example, providing hard standing (concrete) where vehicles are processed, making sure there are underground tanks to capture anything that's leaked out or been spilled, that kind of thing. The top tier yards will deploy all airbags and seatbelt tensioners, then pull petrol, diesel, oil, transmission fluid, washer fluid, steering fluid, hydraulic fluid, shock absorber oil/fluid, coolant, air con refrigerant, wiring loom, interior and exterior plastics before crushing the rest. The days of oil leaking out into the ground are (thankfully) well behind us. One litre of oil can contaminate one million litres of water - there are regulations in place for a reason. And no disrespect to Adam, he's working within the rules and guidelines set out for him. Its his bosses (and the federal government) who need to step up their game.
Poor school buses. I can see that one of them is a Blue Bird though.
Nice! This is amazing to watch, just dont like school buses from when I was a kid or yellow cars.
Yea it was fun tearing apart a school bus I wasn’t a big fan of them either.
First time to watch. Great work. Retired insurance adjuster here. Always wondered where these old cars went. Be safe.
Thanks for watching. I no longer work at the scrap yard it was fun crushing cars and whatever else came though.

No the bucket will stop about 2 feet from hitting the cab
