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

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

i am thinking that the other picture is probably not THW.

certainly THW. prior to going all blue they wore Khaki with blue logos sown on

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.
