I've seen some cliffs like that in China. I wonder if this might be in China, at the beginning of the 3 gorges dam project or cutting out a placement for the footing of one of their many huge suspensions or arch bridges. The scary thing is China has built as much infrastructure in the past 30 odd years as the USA has in 200

It wasn't working. They just swung it like a wrecking ball.

I thought a wreaking ball would be more efficient!
