Moving the derrick away from the rig after cutting it loose.
The engine and radiator on the pump I operate. You can see where it to the direct hit from the derrick.
Another view of the pump.
A close up of the top of the engine.
The big orange thing on the ground is the blocks, which the cables travel through on the rig. The two long arms are the bells, and at the top of the bells you can see the elevators still attached. The elevators latch around the pipe allowing us to run the tubing in and out of the hole.
Where the blocks are laying is where I normally sit in my stool to run the pump and the swivel. My stool is no longer with us.
The bell housing between the transmission and the engine.
The rig, minus the derrick, leaving on the wrecker. It took two of these wreckers to turn it back upright.

Was telling a guy about this today that knows oilfield stuff. He said that was (+/-)$1M damage.
Old oil field hand that used to run workover rigs for several years. I never saw a rig blow over that was securly anchored down. And I thought that most companies do not put equipment within the guywires just for this reason?
I think an investigation is warranted. If I owned any of this damaged equipment, I would definatly be busting some heads.
Obvious screwup by someone.
