Some sort of mining operation equipment. I see Pneumatic drills, air hose and what looks like an old blasting machine. _________________ Prosit!

I'm thinking the guys in the white helmets could be from the THW (Technische Hilfswerk) - or the fire brigade if that bus is red. there seems to be a relaxed air so maybe a training exercise, perhaps getting rid of an old air raid shelter...
here's a couple of THW buses

They do look like they are enjoying the day. All safety precautions are observed, including hard hats with straps optional.
Rudy Giuliani on the left looks like the bureaucrat.
Somehow there is less joy in the second picture. Did they blow up the wrong bridge? The guy walking towards the right looks a bit glum. _________________ The Obsolete Air-Cooled Documentation Project http://oacdp.org/ |
