The things you can get away with as the owner of a demolition company

Alright, so a demolition company is taking down an old dorm at a nearby university and they managed to accidentally drive an excavator over some loose ground and fall into the basement. That's kind of off on its own, but whatever. No, where it gets great is this quote from the news article:

"The owner of the demolition company was driving the equipment when the collapse happened. He told the paper it's not the first time something like that had happened to him."

So it truly became an excavation site.

That's why it's a demolition company and not a construction company. Any accident is still in the job description.

At least it is equipped to potentially dig itself out.

If I were that owner, I would swear up and down it was an art piece based on "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel."

That was my favorite book growing up, I still have my copy, hope to read it to my kids someday. Have an upvote for nostalgia
