VIDEO & PHOTOS: An excavator operator luckily escaped injury after the 48,000 pound machine he was operating overturned.
The operator was reportedly unaware that the home he was tearing down contained a basement, and only realized it once the machine collapsed through it.
The driver managed to climb out unharmed.
