Each of those red and yellow trucks, are 797's

And this is where a million people live (on the other side of the hole in the ground)

And here I was excited about an Australian Supercar driving down into the pit!

Also, I know your truck has a shovel, get busy digging

Ha. was there just this summer. Pretty impressive piece of pollution.

I asked the lady if I would lose my leg if I dipped it into the pit. She sorta smirked and sorta said don’t do it!

Want to hear the best VO (voice over) ever?

pH of about 2, so you wouldn’t loose your leg but likely would get a good rash and stain your skin. Would recommend an immediate clean water rinse.

This is the Kalgoorlie Super Pit. Picture (Jordan Cantelo) dates from 2012 so the hole is quite a bit bigger these days...

Lol. I feel like a Kaiju should be emerging from that hole with that voiceover and music.

This is where I work at, nearly ten miles across East to West. The tailings basin is what is on the North side.
