With just a few hours of work remaining on the contract, the CAT 374DL elevated excavator sunk into a unknown soft area of seabed which collapsed as the digger passed over it and got stuck, then the tide came in. The soft area was probably caused by large concrete coastal defences being removed from the beach after WW2.
 comThis is on the border of Lancing and Worthing. It got stuck digging the trench for the undersea cable to connect it to land. The rescuing vehicle got stuck too, but is not included in this video. I could see the construction ships at night from my house.
