    The quick thinking of the operator averted an even worst outcome

    That's one lucky SOB! Quick thinking on the excavator operator's part likely saved his life. That concrete wall would have crushed him! Cave-ins is why (legal) trenching requires the use of trench boxes. There are too many unknown variables that could cause a rapid cave-in. Being buried alive would be horrible!

    Have to admit, I miss read the title. Thought it said "trench digging attachment"

    Scares me when I think back to working in deep trenches in the 70's and 80's!!!!
