[4K] Largest Hole in the World – Bingham Canyon Mine – 60 fps
A visit to the largest man-made hole in the world, the Bingham Canyon copper mine.
I made a few mistakes in my voice-over. The dump truck close up was actually of a 320 ton model, identifiable by the red lip on the front of the dump bed. Additionally the machine I thought was a 4100XPC was actually a 2800XPC, a slightly smaller model. The 4100XPC (#98) is up on the left side of the pit and there is a significant amount of footage of it in this video.
I would love to take a trials motorbike for a razz round there .
The video show no justice to these trucks there a size of a house
30:27 Anyone want to do this with me😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
The biggest darkest hole in the world 🌎…. 🕳 aka my ex wife…..
A lot of trucks sitting around doing nothing. Coffee is cheaper than diesel, park em up lads.
Beautiful and detailed footage! What camera and lenses were you shooting? Can’t wait to visit here. Visitor center is currently closed.
I went there a few years ago. It was not open to visitors, so we hiked all the way to a peak to take a look at it.
great job thanks
Why is there no people outside the vehicles?
they ALL look like micro machines in a giant sandlot
I remember my first time going to the bottom of this pit to get in my truck..
Amazing !

I hail all the way from Brazil. Amazing and very informative video! Excellent job ! also work with minings !
I remember looking down from the old visitors center, wondering why the group of little cars were painted yellow when I realized they were full size school buses.
The dump trucks are the size of a 2 story home.
BIG PIT
I saw a documentary about a copper mine in Africa where the dump trucks used a trolley system to make the uphill part of the journey. Electricity is obviously way cheaper than diesel, and the electric motors are also way more powerful, doing 24mph uphill compared to the 8mph that the diesel engine could
So I’m wondering, why doesn’t this mine use something similar? The uphill journey is very long here, using diesel to lift all of that rock seems very wasteful. Any idea if it has been considered?
This video was great! This was a Sunday Drive regular, when we lived at the bottom of the hill in Herriman.
