The photos below show a hydraulic excavator working on the roof of a 12 story building in China. Presumably wanting to demo the building without the expense of a controlled implosion, the Contractor should be paying the excavator operator combat pay for this assignment.

The most fun part of this story is the comments the local residents posted about the excavator on the roof. Take a moment to read those comments and you’ll get a bit of insight into China. Certainly different from comments you’d read about a similar incident in an American city. Can you imagine someone posting, “Americans are simply intelligent”? Also, if you hover your mouse above the comment text, you get to see how it was written in Chinese.
