Celebrating an anniversary

2 years ago, on June 4th witnessed the birth of an internet phenomenon - it was the day of the Killdozer.

Marvin Heemeyer was a welder from Granby, Colorado who felt that the local government had screwed him (if you read the wikipedia article, it's not an entirely baseless accusation). Faced with a failed welding company and mounting bills he took inspiration from the A-team's B.A. Baracus, and built himself a killdozer.

Thanks to the marvel of the internet - you can find news footage of the rampage on YouTube. The best bit is the duel with a big yellow construction truck. Enjoy!

With the exception of him shooting himself in the chops, that was a remarkably enjoyable story...
