INCREDIBLE DRONE VIDEO OF   CALTRANS USING REMOTE   CONTROLLED HEAVY   EQUIPMENT TO REMOVE TONS OF   DIRT AND DEBRIS FROM A BIG   SUR LANDSLIDE.. THAT   EQUIPMENT.. TWO   BULLDOZERS AND AN   EXCAVATOR BEING USUSED TO   HELP CLEAR UP THE "REGENTS   SLIDE" NEARLY 40 MILES   SOUTH OF CARMEL..   CALTRANS DECIDED TO BRING   OUT THE REMOTE CONTROLLED   EQUIPMENT BECAUSE THIS   SLIDE CONTINUES TO REMAIN   ACTIVE.. AT TIMES MOVING A   FOOT A DAY.. USING REMOTE   CONTROLLED EQUIPMENT   ALLOWS WORK TO CONTINUE   WHERE MANNED EQUIPMENT   MIGHT BE CHALLENGED BY   STEEP, UNSTABLE TERRAIN..   THE REMOTE CONTROLLED   EQUIPMENT WILL AT TIMES   WORK IN TANDEM WITH MANNED   EQUIPMENT.. INCREASING   PRODUCTION EVEN MORE.. AND   HOPEFULLY GETTING THIS    STRETCH OF HIGHWAY ONE   REOPONED SOONER RATHER   THAN LATER.. THE STRETCH OF   ROAD HAS BEEN CLOSED SINCE   FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR..   RESTRICTING TRAVEL FROM   THE SOUTH.. AND IMPACTING   BIG SUR BUSINESS..         WHEN THAT WILL BE IS THE   BIG UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME..      CALTRAINS SAYS IT   DEFINITELY WON\'T BE BY THIS   SUMMER..      BUT AGAIN THE HOPE.. IS   THAT REMOTE CONTROLLED   HEAVY EQUIPMENT... WILL   INCREASE PRODUCTION...   AND GET CALTRANS MUCH   CLOSER TO REOPENING THIS   ROAD..      IN BIG SUR FELIX CORTEZ..'}]
