Dive Brief:
-
The latest construction-themed video to go viral online shows a bored construction worker in an excavator using the machine’s long arm and claw as a sort of baseball bat and an old microwave oven as the ball.
-
A stack of cinder blocks serve as the ball’s tee. The excavator operator swings the arm around 360 degrees before taking aim at the microwave and smacking it into the air.
-
The appliance apparently didn’t fly far enough into the air to satisfy the “player,” so he stationed another microwave oven on the cider blocks and this time, he used the claw to crush it.
Dive Insight:
People apparently are fascinated with construction, as YouTube features hundreds of videos of job sites, building in progress, excavating equipment, construction accidents and even construction-themed video games. Scroll through them here.
