JAW-DROPPING pictures offer a glimpse into what could be the largest collection of the world’s most gigantic mining excavators. The eye-opening images show five abandoned excavator machines, with each varying in size and controlled by different number of controllers. The biggest of them all is the ‘Gemini’ excavator which was built in 1958 and weighs 1980 tons and has a total length of 420 feet and 98 feet in height, whilst the oldest, the ‘Mosquito’, was built in 1941 with a total length of 223 feet. Captured in Germany by photographer, Bartosz Rajski (33), on a Canon 1000d with Sigma 20-40mm

Captured in Germany by photographer, Bartosz Rajski (33), on a Canon 1000d with Sigma 20-40mm lens, these earth eating diggers are controlled by a minimum of three people, although some diggers like the ‘Gemini’ are controlled by six to eight crew.
