this is very suspicious to me. not only is the pin that the bucket pivots on missing, it is also not connected to the hydrolic ram? the bucket was just sitting there, not connected to anything?? i am confident in suspecting a hoax.

Hydraulic Quick Coupler. Most modern excavators use them.

thanks. i was unaware of this. i worked construction in my youth, but that was a long time ago.

And why exactly were they filming with the action perfectly framed?

Gonna say this is fake. The screen shake looks added in post. There is no motion in the arm accompanying the drop of the bucket, no rubble is moved on impact, only a poof of dust that never makes it into the foreground. Too low resolution to be sure though.
EDIT: i feel like a real killjoy right now...
