Yeah, lets not move the trucks. I needs to be more dramatic!

Jaja sure thought they were gonna hit one of them

[@slytub]

Probably nowhere near them ... camera angles

[@MrCamille9999]

@@slytub Well you can see the triangle at the top push the antena of the truck so definitely not just a camera angle

[@Will-nb8qk]

Yeah, weird stuff. As stated probably a play on camera angles

[@casualguy393]

Put the camera in the right location so it looks like we missed the trucks by inches instead of feet.

[@greysilverback3924]

You'd think they would have had an automatic bilge and alarm on a million dollar dredge.

[@sl06bhytmar]

That would mean at least $2500 worth of parts and $2500 worth of man hours to install it. DENIED!

[@jaja9868]

@@sl06bhytmar what he's getting at is if this is a million dollar vehicle then what is an extra 5 thousand, that's .25% of the total value, basically nothing

[@xspower8899]

How about fitting the hatches that cost nothing,its all staged

[@yenneferofgyanvapi3965]

Beets are sucessful because they don' buy everything from the showroom. They buy used machines and make a lot of money. Offcourse, show won't show you how much they actually make.

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

They have these things called water alarms they should try one.

[@aspire3620]

davetileguy Agree but most of these reality shows and even KZbin channels from the USA that lack foresight into preventing stuff like this. There lack of maintenance and the way they treat equipment is to be expected.

The dredge sank because the producers need a dramatic event.

[@jfk64kennedy95]

I worked in Commercial construction, building....an owner of an Electrical Contracting business said thi to me one day and stuck with me through the rest of my yrs as a foreman and eventual superintendent.: "there is nothing accomplished screaming and yelling, losing one's temper, assigning blame publicly, embarrassing said individual. You see the mistake, you address it with the one who did it privately, you see how to fix as inexpensively and quickly as possible, if the one that made the mistake, capable of fixing, you have them fix it" when your done, you'll have an employee that both respects you and will never make that mistake again.

Well said, you sound like a great boss, it's probably a pleasure working for you.

loosing a thousand dollars an hour and he said eh its an old truck its kind of sad how priorities can cloud judgment

[@bcdrummer1962]

Another scripted and created accident on the show. I'd love to listen in on the pre-productipn meetings where they come up with this stuff.....

[@croingo8294]

i mean, if it was doing normal stuff day by day it would be pretty boring.

[@Frank75288]

[@VFR75O]

I wouldn't be surprised if the whole "accident" was staged just to make an episode. They make their money filming not mining.

[@Joker-kw8wv]

Discovery makes there money filming but not the gold “miners”. I was on a show called “cold water cowboys” and I only made 400 for my part so I disagree even tho it’s possible

[@nameofthegame9664]

J oker Gold rush is produced by a company called Raw TV. And they make what’s called STS (scripted television shows). And as to my understanding all the main characters like Parker, Tony and now Ness have already negotiated and signed contracts for this and the next season. And going by the popularity of the show I’m guessing those contracts has a lot of zeros in it. So if a lot of what we see on the show is staged and scripted would not surprise me at all since the production company is the ones calling the shots.

[@alstar7232]

The people in it only get something like $20,000 an episode so no they make more money mining gold. The money they make per episode just helps with the daily running costs but doesn't even cover it all. All the information about how much each of the people in show get is public

[@BC5391]

this was 2 years ago

[@mjollner23]

Discovery pays alright, so their mining-op is not as risky financially. But they need to make it interesting, so that people watch, and discovery keep it going. So the night-shift " forget" to close the hatch and they have a very controlled " sink". And then they turn the dredge 90 degree's and to make that incredibly boring, completely routine job seem dangerous and interesting, they don't move their cars and complain how tight it is.

[@TravelAddictGuy]

Give these guys credit they did an amazing job fixing that disaster.

6:25 "This means the tailings conveyor will have to swing right over the road" As if it were highway 40 and traffic needed to be stopped, 2 light poles cut down, a crane called in and some light saber wielding dudes directing traffic would need to be flown in by helicopter because OSHA would shut them down.
