Anderson Drilling's 'Thor' Cluster Drill being removed from the hole

Anderson Drilling has a unique tradition dating back to the founders of the compnay where they name most items in their fleet of foundation drilling equipment. They recently purchases a 48-inch Atlas Copco cluster drill for a bridge project in California, and appropriately named it ‘Thor’ after the Norse God of thunder (and the Marvel comic book hero by the same name that wields a magical hammer).
