Unless I'm mistaken, that shovel is an Erie B.
Someone should salvage it.
Chilling video of the dam failures.

That shovel is actually a Thew Type “O” horizontal crowd shovel. The boom is unmistakable. Thew shovels were built in Lorain, Ohio, about 15 minutes from where I live.
Thanks for sharing the videos Bruce.
Wasn't me Charlie , twas Tom 😉👍
I have been following it via YT videos and also saw the steam shovel and thought a opportunity for some one .
I feel for the poor people down stream and no sympathy for the lake side homes .
I know of some lakes in Maine where folks would park old cars, trucks and other equipment they wanted gone on the ice in the middle of the lake during winter.
As things warmed up in the springtime...... gone!
How is it I'de never heard of this disaster?
