Oh man I would have loved to be the guy who got to run the dozer that day! I bet he had a huge grin the whole time!

 
Pushing cars around is not as easy as one might think.

I rolled a couple Howitzers out of my way with an excavator when working on a military base back in the 90's before that sort of thing would have got me in big trouble, that was pretty fun.

We had a guy roll his machine over a car with no engine that was pinned to the ground with a pair of axles.....

Took a while. He said you can't just rush it like a bull at the gate.
 
:praying:God love 'em, California folks seem to get ALL the natural disasters out there....
 
Sounds like those cars were abandoned in traffic, from what I heard.

Here's a related activity - every firefighter's dream.

This happened some years ago at the at our landfill when we still operated one before transfer stations. We had D8s (high sprocket)with the big landfill blade mounted and the guys would push while the trash was being offloaded from any vehicle. Well as you can figure some idiot in a Ford Ranger though he could squeeze in close to the machine. Our operater couldn't see him and backed up on him all the way to the firewall. Luckily the driver was out of the truck or both legs would have been crushed.
He tried to make the county buy him a new truck, that didn't happen.

I used to go out to the backyard at work where all the bad vans went and pick them up with a turnover fork truck and drop them from 17 feet. Run forks through the sides, or straight through the front and drive the engine down and out. Strange, but a good time just the same!!
 
Would have been a lot easier and faster with a front end loader with forks !! Why aren't they prepared for stuff like this, it happens every year !!!
