[VIDEO] Anyone remember the 2004 crazy dozer driver?
I always like to put the news story with the video.
Quote:
A muffler shop owner who plowed a makeshift armored bulldozer into several buildings after a dispute with city officials was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after a SWAT team cut their way into the machine early Saturday, authorities said.
City officials said he was angry over a zoning dispute and fines for city code violations at his business in the town about 50 miles west of Denver.
Authorities detonated three explosions and fired at least 200 rounds against the heavy steel plates welded to the bulldozer, which looked like an upside down Dumpster. After the third explosion failed, officials used a cutting torch to open the square-foot hole early Saturday, county Emergency Management Director Jim Holahan said.
Holahan said Heemeyer was armed with a .50-caliber weapon but appeared to have deliberately avoided injuring anyone during the rampage, which began about 3 p.m. Friday. No other injuries were reported.
