In the introduction there is a gigantic toothed wheel on the end of a "crane" boom. This device is meant to show and emphasize the land being torn up for surface mining. Please visit https://www.usgs.gov/centers/national-minerals-information-center/mineral-industry-montana to see the essential items for our civilization which came out of these mines. Not only does this extra heavy equipment not exist, it is also running backwards. For a view of how they really do surface mining please visit https://www.vermeer.com/na/terrain-levelers.

Funny, the first thing I thought of reading your subject was the hand auger Jimmy was using to drill holes in the ground for the TNT sticks or whatever explosives the kids are using nowadays. He was turning it the wrong way in more than one shot/angle. Don't pay much attention to credits, so had to look for it, and yep, that thing was moving in reverse, too.

Not that either "ruined my immersion" or anything, just little things one notices.
