People usually can't fathom just how huge this machine was. You could take out an entire subdivision of houses in minutes with this machine. My grandpa worked in the Muskie for many years and I've seen this machine work..AMAZING and it's a true shame that it got scraped.

What a shame it was scrapped as there won't be another of its kind..the guys photographed in the bucket spent 30 years of there lives working on it I suspect ...it should have been preserved as yet another example of mans great resourceful ness and ingenuity

Big Brutus was saved when the company donated the machine and surrounding land to people who turned it into a very successful museum.Big brutus was half the size of the captain and big muskie.I still think infinitemushroom is right.

The trouble is that strip mining left everything a mess. The plan all along was to scrap the shovel at the end of its useful days, the fact that it drew attention was something nobody had planned for. Now strip mining has a running reclamation program, no massive lakes with deadly chemicals present. But, that was then and this is now.

from my understanding it put out a lot of pollution and the high sulpher coal it would bring out was no longer in good demand so she was parked and the mine closed, the land restoration act required all machines to be removed, and so she was though she would have made a great tourest attraction. She was cut up in 99, its been almost ten years, the bucket though is still there being the largest one ever created

Unfortunately, it got quite a test as the land we were planning on fishing on had just been bulldozed and the flat land was all rough. Car never got stuck, but I angered a park ranger who thought I stealing heavy equipment.

I dont know where east liverpool is, but yes you are right there are ways to make dirty coal cleaner even if they have to convert it to coke. and you might be surprized how much is left in ohio, we have over 200 years of coal reserves left in the states not including oil shael even with the new techniques to boil the oil out of the shale it is still very expencive and it will be a much better day when we can have renewable resorces to fuel our contry. then we can truly be free.
