Good Illustration and heads up LocalBoy.  Looks like the concrete is a bit wet for the application. If tight you can bring it up slow and in lifts applicable to the situation so to not cause to much pressure on the block.

Nobody got hurt and looks to be minimal damage. Lesson Learned.

How long before the pump was the block laied?  I have had blowouts where they had laied the block a few hours earlier.
