    I was hoping the excavator would over the car after they realized it was smashed.

    i really want to know how much water it took to fill that excavator blade....

    From the looks of it, they have a 30 cubic yard bucket on it. A cubic yard is equilivent to aprox 202 gallons.

    30 X 202 = ~6060 gallons.

    Give or take a few...

    If so, that's about 50,000 pounds of water - no wonder it had that effect on the car!
