We took an hour today and drove to the copper mine. It’s the world’s largest excavation and open-pit copper mine.
This is the outside.
This is the inside.
How big are those trucks driving down there?
Here is a tire from one of the trucks.
The bed of the truck. The truck is the size of a two story townhouse.
The dirt slide was part of the landslide that happened in 2013.
This equipment detected slope deformation and the crews were evacuated. No one was injured in this slide. I wish they could start using this for earthquake detection.
