Goodness sakes, that is pretty weak to say the least. What was the guy thinking?

As a former New Yorker, I can attest to the attitude and skill level? of City employees. Oh, BTW: being union members, they can never be fired. Its actually amazing that they could get two operating workers involved in the same location for any purpose whatsoever.

The other possibility, of course, is that there was a grudge against the truck's owner (perhaps for complaining about the lack of snow removal) and this is called payback. If the truck owner refused to pay a 'service fee' for this special consideration, the same action would be taken.

And you wonder why America is spiraling down the sewer ? Please spare me the details.

I watched this and all I can say is how would you get a 25k lb piece of equipment unstuck in a spot like that? People want their streets cleaned the second the snow stops falling but think that a large loader can just move around cars on tight streets like it's magic. Sure it would have been nice to not hurt the state owned SUV but it's no different than a tow truck pulling a wrecked car out of a ditch. Sometimes it's just not possible not to cause more damage.

It was a state (or maybe city) owned truck that was given to a different agency because it had almost 100k on it. No grudge. just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

chopped no its the city . the owner will get a repair but in a snow emergency he will be lucky not to get fined for parking on the street. now i remember why i moved.on the news yesterday some @@# was complaining about the snow because he pays taxes!!

Man! How about payloader gone stupid? The tow truck driver was wearing his "I don't give a *darn*" hat, too!.:mur:

I have only got two thoughts/questions on this video.

First, are things different with big equipment?? or why didn't he try using the loader to push himself out a bit???

And second, why in thw workd would the wrecker try to jerk him out?? Why not use the winch??
