One lucky dozer operator!

[RJ Squirrel]

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!

 

[chargervert]

I bet he had fun,but I wouldn't want to be anywhere near there!

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

All that pollution...but I should be forced to buy a electric car to save the planet....wtf

 

[chargervert]

I would just let the cars come to me like in Vanishing Point!

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.

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.

They ran the Prius over with a tank on Roadkill.

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 !!!

I wonder how dangerous that could be if you were dozing a bunch of EV's...aren't those batteries super flammable if the cases are punctured or ruptured?

Worked with a guy that was in Illinois National Guard in the 1950’s during a big snowstorm in Chicago . Had plow blades on front of tanks, they told people to not park in the street.
Some people didn’t listen,, he said it was just a little bump while driving!!

Sounds like we all need to go and watch the movie "Cold Pursuit" - it is good for a few laughs like that.
