It was Marion Power Shovel's second largest machine ever built and the third largest shovel in the world. The co-pilot was sucked halfway out of the cockpit and passengers started losing consciousness due to low pressure. It was named the "Big Digger" and carried a 125-cubic-yard (96 m 3) bucket on a 215-foot-long (66 m) boom. Directed by Andrew Lau, the film is based on a real-life incident in May 2018, when the cockpit windshield of a Sichuan Airlines flight shattered while the plane was flying 30,000 feet above the Tibetan Plateau. The only Marion shovel that compared (in size and scope) to "The Captain" was the Marion 5960-M Power Shovel that worked at Peabody Coal Company's ( Peabody Energy) River Queen Surface Mine in Central City, Kentucky. Afterwards, engineers from both Arch and Marion Power Shovel surveyed the damage and deemed it too great to repair, and the machine was scrapped one year later in the last pit it dug. This fire caused a great deal of damage to both the lower works and machine house. It was caused by a burst hydraulic line that was spraying the hot fluids on an electrical relay panel. The shovel worked well for Arch Coal until September 9, 1991, when a fire broke out in the lower works of the shovel. Everything remained the same at the mine except for the colors which were changed to red, white, and blue. ![]() The shovel originally started work with Southwestern Illinois Coal Corporation, but the owners were soon bought out by Arch Coal.
