The car was obliterationed.

[MegaAnyc]

bai eu mas duce sal bat pe ala ce daca nui masina mea

!!!!!

[Ieng3ineT]

lol ny sanitation at its best

[Xxslayer410xX]

well wonder if you people ever got the money for this one prob not...

[racehorse7669]

If that were my truck, i would break both their fukin noses.

[NatsTown2K10]

dont worry.....they have insurance!!!

[chevydiesel350015]

this is why USA is so fucked up they let people like this run the country :(

[MydogTobes]

@chevydiesel350015 SADLY, you are correct......

[FailedSquare]

@chevydiesel350015 nah they let people like them operate heavy machinery lol

[vrmmarine]

moron's!

[TheBARROWSTUDIO]

go breK THERE FKIN WINDOW

[BONZAII42]

We can all make comments in regards to this story because we're peering in at an exact moment. The problem is there is such a disconnect between the city and it's people. The city for not finding better ways to work in this environment and condition and the people for ignoring the constant requests to move there vehicle so that the teams that do snow removal can properly do their jobs.

So you can come down on any side you want to, but the truth is, they are both equally at fault.

[smokemansmoker]

@BONZAII42 How was they to move the vehicles? Look how much snow is there. Why do you think the snow removal is happening? Maybe so people could get their vehicles out? That front end loader was stuck in the snow and look at the lugs on them tires and that was 4x4 also.

[flycentro123]

Why would someone be so stupid as to live in a place that has snow...Ill never understand that...

[daniloorbolato]

They were upset that day...

[SteinGermany1939]

Did you send this video into the city? What did they say?

[halflife103]

Lol you guys are dumb. Its the owners fault for nor forseeing something like this. Why park on a narrow ass street in these conditions?.

[killerspeed101]

@halflife103 because it ny thats the only place they can park.

[halflife103]

@killerspeed101 Well, one things for sure. The city holds no liability for possibly damaged vehicles. It wouldn't make sense if they did. Besides, Who needs a vehicle that big in a city anyway?. But trust me, there is a reason why special lisences are needed to operate machinery. They are not as easy to drive as they seem. Loaders, Graders and Dump trucks get stuck A LOT. However, now that i think about it. The thing didn't have chains. Doesn't look like they were prepared.

[killerspeed101]

@halflife103 that car was used by the Department of Housing Preservation so thats why they need a suv that big. but to mess up 2 cars is stupid

[halflife103]

@killerspeed101 As i said, Do their job. They have to clear roads. Whats more important, 2 Cars, or hundreds of peoples lives. If those roads arent cleared people have NO idea what to do. I live in an Area where there is snow 7/12 Months.... 8 last year. Trust me, It isn't as easy or as simple as it seems. I doubt the workers were happy about their Carnage either. Not that the Cameraman could see that staying up in his home while these people have to deal with this.

[killerspeed101]

@halflife103 im just saying they should have taken their time and did it right. if that was your car wouldnt u be pissed?

[halflife103]

@killerspeed101 I would be pissed, and you are right. I am just amazed that they have no Chains. I mean, you can only do so much. However the dude should have been properly trained. I have seen this video so many times now. He did, what he could. He had to move on to get more important roads. Still, i doubt he was an expert and im still boggled that they have no chains.

[flycentro123]

@halflife103 typicall liberal.. to quote you "who needs a vehicle that big in the city anyway?" wow,, this is where we are headed, being told what kind of car we should be driving because you knows whats best for us dont you? gosh, so glad i dont live in the states anymore.. you only have to look at where liberals have taken over (detroit,chicago,los angeles ) to see the US is going to fail in the next few years...

[halflife103]

@flycentro123 I have driven a large vehicle in a large city. It is Highly impractical. Even more so for the average city slicker who cannot drive to save their lives. It is more practical to dive a Mid-Small sized vehicle. You know how many people out there can't even drive Small vehicles?. I say THAT because i am tired of having to swerve to avoid some dumb fuck who cannot drive. I am not telling you what to drive... That would be dumb. I am just suggesting based on location.

[flycentro123]

@halflife103 So because you are a fucking moron you want to impose what you think we should do? Go have some fish and chips and fix your damn teeth already...

[halflife103]

@flycentro123 Holy shit kid. Whats bigger, your mouth or your dick?. Judging by your immature insult you probably have a superiority complex.

Judging by your comments your mouth is bigger. You have a small dick so you fly off the handle over a comment on the internet. OF course then there's your mouth... But i see your boyfriend has already conditioned that.

Fucking hell, i can see why your education is ranked #14 of the world.

Grow up you child... or rethink your life.

[TheBARROWSTUDIO]

@halflife103 ok your saying were dumb even though.... im not even from usa. your stupid, your saying we insult but then your talking about how small our dicks are so clearly were every your from get you education shit and shove it up your ass u stupid ass fking tiny ass penis go suck your own dick if you can even reach it you nerdy ass fuck

[halflife103]

@TheBARROWSTUDIO Bro, read all of the comments. I am justified to be a prick, if i am previously treated as a prick.

There is only so much patience in the world. Clearly you would not understand this.

[thunderbirdlver]

@halflife103

Umm how isn't this an immature insult? You're no better there tough guy.

[halflife103]

@flycentro123 Nice of you to assume i was American for some reason... What, anyone who doesn't think 100% like you is OBVIOUSLY an idiot and against you?.

[markosp]

Lets see you do it it's not as easy as it looks from the fourth floor DICK!

[ProEuropeanGamer]

U realize that video is under. Copy right of different you tuber

[hcmatley31]

Only hope they were fired. Doubt they were though.

[elite6690]

fucking idiots being worth all that comes

[mikeandsid2000]

crunch ahahahahhahahahahaha dumshit city workers get a shovel and lean on it.... douche bag camera guy shut the hell up

[Markcuda]

Now there was two stupid fuckers.

[CITYLIMITS215]

What the hell where they thinking he did that all worng what a a** hole!

[ferngullyful]

This is truly unbelievable. I hope to god the owners of that car sues the fuck out of NYC and i'm a person who HATES people who sue!!!!!

[sharx35]

@ferngullyful Assholes shouldn't be parking on the streets in those conditions. 

[deucedoose]

Whats the problem here?

[MiserableOldFart]

So a lunatic in a tow truck and a lunatic in a payloader give the goobers a chance to take more pot shots at government workers everywhere. cslicer's idiotic remark is par for the course. Would love to know the entire story here. Were both the tow operator and the equipment guy city employees? How many hours had each been on the job that day prior to this disaster? Lots of questions would have to answered before I'd go running off at the mouth claiming all sanitation workers are stupid..

[xravechickx]

i cant believe what i just see, total disrespect for other peoples property, two twats together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[soadj28]

This is a perfect display of everything wrong with government today: Bloomberg has the time and resources to control how much salt we eat and how much trans-fats are used in our food... but he cannot clear the damn snow nor hire competent employees. I bet these people will not be fired (because they're unionized of course).

[RightToLaugh]

I survived the Brooklyn Snowmageddon of 12-2010.

This was like one block away from where we were staying....



[cslicer]

It would have been easier for the wrecker to tow the van out of the way .

@23pokrzywa. You wouldnt be saying this if your wife needed an ambulance at your apt !

Carl in COnn. (26,843).

[cslicer]

It would have been easier for the wrecker to tow the van out of the way .

@23pokrzywa. You wouldnt be saying this if your wife needed an ambulance at your apt !

Carl in COnn.

[lexicon5]

@cslicer But that would require intelligence. It's been proven the sanitation department personnel have little to no intelligence. Thats why they do what they do. So NOW how do you feel about living in New York? Pretty cool huh?

[SaintsnBraves3]

They're picking on that car because it's white! Damn it!

[wtfbollos]

oh yeah, the two drivers..well all i can say is, it must be pretty easy to get a job as a driver of these vehicles if these two morons can get a job! "hey buddy, can you drive?", "yeah?" "ok, you got the job!"

[wtfbollos]

where the uncensored video it talks about at the end? i keep going back to this fat prick playing bad music on a guitar? and it's DRIVIN ME NUTS lol!

[TylerNull]

"Sanitation Department's slow snow clean-up was a budget protest" -- New York Post

Ah, the joy of labor price-fixing cartels.

Feel the love.

[MordieNova]

That what you get when you don't put an operating engineer in the seat

[xxyourscenesucks]

"It isn't that much damage" "Shouldn't park on the street" Do you live in Brooklyn? Do you own a car? Not everyone has a driveway to park in, and if it was YOUR car it would be a much different story.

[sharx35]

@xxyourscenesucks People shouldn't be allowed to register a fucking vehicle until they can PROVE they have an off-street parking spot, BOTH at home and at work.

[xxyourscenesucks]

@sharx35 Ok then they should have parking lots on every corner for the people who live on each block in highly urban areas, because off street parking for every single human being in Brooklyn is not even remotely possible

[jsheehan100]

figures its in brooklyn, outer boroughs get no respect, brooklyn queens bronx stat island - NYC to outer boroughs, go **** yourselves you ain;t got enuf cash for respect in this city. Manhattan was plowed nice by the day after.

[SBDTHRU]

They got work to be done. One fucked up car isn't gonna put a dent in the citys budget nearly as much as how much money could have been lost if that plow was stuck for the entire day. Sucks for the owners but they'll get there cars fixed. I don't see anything wrong with what the supervisor for the tow truck driver or the plow driver did. They just need to keep the streets clear so people can make their money and give it to the state.

[qubert21mb]

Shouldn't have parked on the streets like that. The owners of that car deserve that for being so stupid. Beside, it's a small scratch on the passenger side, nothing more.

[modena360chick]

In the end, does it matter that the vehicle was owned by the city? Yes, because it means that the cost of the damages these clearly disturbed individuals caused is coming out of taxpayers' pockets.

[jonathanhz]

Unions are awesome, so glad they hire idiots and make sure they won't get fired....at least we have a good video of how these retards work.

[skiextreme2007]

The guy recording recording this video is hilarious!!!! Video was awesome!

[renster88]

He got the job done.

[max1691]

The post made it sound so much worse like the car was destroyed...

[Rhymecasino]

Even being city owend you cant tell me there wasnt an easier way to pull out that front end loader with out hitting them cars? And expeinced tow truck driver can do some amazing things!

[starlite33]

so where are people who live in apartments in NYC supposed to park their cars during blizzards if the apartment doesn't have a parking building?

[sharx35]

@starlite33 Streets are for fucking moving traffic, NOT for the storage of vehicles. There are LOTS of private parking garages in NYC where one can park for a fee. Parking on the street is a PRIVILEGE, NOT a right.

[68Fastang]

That's why your not supposed to park on streets when there's a snow blizzard in the forecast.

[lukin4aman]

All the vehicles involved are CITY OWNED!! Even the SUV. It's all over the news.

[dodgezilla80]

that wouldn't fly in my neck of the woods. both of those guys should loose their jobs.

[cuzimgd]

triph! Boy that's a reason to pull that tow druck driver out of of that truck and whoop his tale!

[zyga1922]

These guys should loose their jobs right away, before anyone's else car will be damaged or moreover people injured. Insane people!! What they were thinking about?? And those comments about that the car was barely touched, another not quite sane people...

[lukin4aman]

@zyga1922 all these vehicles are city owned

[trotter80]

Instead of recording this you should have been out there helping with a shovel

[72TopperX]

The loader driver show us how competent he is when he hits the vehicle with his bucket.

Or maybe he's in a hurry to get outta there & it would take way too much time to simply pull the lever so the bucket would clear the SUV's roof.

It's also possible neither of these people give a crap.

[Feckerhead]

thats was it, pathetic.

[goose756]

i wouldn't say this is the tow truckers fault.. the person trying to wiggle the plow while being pulled bashes into that SUV multiple times.. especially that last one after he was already next to it he turned the front again and just smacked the SUV... did he have his eyes open? what a dunce.

[kevin7993]

i would destroy the drivers face if it was my car

[salcedoautberto]

typical NYer bitch , sue happy motherfuckers. I hope you die of aids.

[pele6922]

"gotta hear the crunchin' " :-))

[diapersFTMFW16]

I wouldn't exactly call the SUV "destroyed", but that was a pretty hilarious fail nonetheless .. fucking moron tow trucker...

[drumma5]

Another reason why new york is worthless. Stupid tow truck driver, stupid tractor driver but even stupider person with a camera just constantly yelling "are you outta your mind?"...no they're not but you're not helping by yelling that, go help you worthless POS.

[IndustrialCinema]

They forgot to back up and finish the job.

[kirk85kirk]

Nothing will be done; Nobody will be fired.; Just another day for city workers.

[lukin4aman]

@kirk85kirk  all three vehicles are city owned anyway

[BeadStallcup]

This is just another instance of the disregard gov't workers have for the rights of the taxpayers who pay these two-bit sleazeballs their salaries and benefits! How much trouble could it have been for this city gov't worker to find the vehicle owner and ask him to move his SUV? Like I say, they don't give a shit, because they see the disregard gov't bureaucrats have for the people in general and so they just follow the example.

[201leo]

wiiiiiiii  wi wi wi wwwwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiii wi wwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[dogishappy0]

what, pulling the two vehicles out of the way first was too much work? i guess it was worth the multi-thousand dollar lawsuit to just beat the crap out of the car instead.

[lukin4aman]

@dogishappy0 all 3 vehicles are city owned

[dogishappy0]

even if they are all city owned, does that makes it all right? someone still has to pay for the repairs, and if they are city owned, then it's likely that the money is going to come from taxes. i would have rather paid the driver $50 an hour to tow the two vehicles out of the way first instead of paying thousands in repair bills.

[ElCh3aPo]

Wheres keyboard cat when ya need him?

[maverickpoint]

so many comments about that not even being destroyed, and theres barely any damage done, but if that was your car, you'd be pretty pissed off, now wouldn't you.

[incub8]

@maverickpoint - there is a ton of damage. The rear bumper alone will cost $1000. The passenger side was ripped. Both back and front are damaged. The frame may be twisted. There is easily $15,000 - 20,000 damage to that SUV not to mention the other vehicle in front that got hit.

[maverickpoint]

@incub8 yeah thats what i was getting at in my comment. not sure if it fully came across. a lot of other people have written comments about this car, barely having any damage when clearly theres a TON of damage done. i for one would sue that towing company. lol

[MrSixFive]

@maverickpoint - "barely any damage done"..WTF? I"m sure if that was your car, and someone said that to you, you'd knock em' on their ass! I see a few thousand dollars worth of damage....even if it is a 'city owned SUV'...but what's really funny is the dude who is filming it saying "are you f***ing serious?"...dude...you're in New York City...what else would you expect? NY is filled with a shit load of 'city workers' who just don't give a flying rats ass about anything except themselves!

[maverickpoint]

@MrSixFive ive been getting a lot of negative replies on what i said. please re-read it. im saying that i read comments from other people that said those things, im not saying that.

[MrSixFive]

@maverickpoint - My bad! I mis-read your comment..you're right...for those who are saying and/or /have said 'there's hardly any damage done'...i think they need to have their heads examined!

[maverickpoint]

@MrSixFive hahahaha very right about that :-D

[maverickpoint]

/watch?v=KL6xzJUlNvo

for a cool multi car on ice crash

[jugs105]

Worst drivers in tandem

[98erics]

I hope those two city employees lose their job and suffer from savage gay rape after they clean out their locker. people of that mental caliber need to be removed from their homes and tested for MR (mental retardation).

[stwade]

i missed the part of destruction...when did it happen

[RobertLichter]

It's spelled UNCENSORED.

[TebooTedMarshall]

Yes my friend....they ARE out of their minds.

[pbeachy]

the vehicle isn't even worth $10,000 try like $2,000

[YooperViking]

That wasn't as dramatic as the yahoo article led me to believe. I'm disappointed.

[maverickpoint]

@YooperViking /watch?v=KL6xzJUlNvo probably more of what your looking for haha.

[gerdub22]

Yeah, I agree. It was dull. Anti-climactic too.

[gerdub22]

Yeah, I agree. It was dull. Anti-climactic too. And the loud mouth with the camera didnt help...

[slackrjakk]

you call that destroyed? ...you people are soft, how is living in a beehive apt? got nothing better to do huh? loser!

[SlickRaccoon]

I LOVE IT. welcome to new york.

[JAROME74]

You can't have nothing in New Yark !!! Too many rude people that don't care!!!!

[StreetBeastTech]

The stupidest pair of drivers ever.

The snow shovel could have crab walked out of the hole by using it shovel to lift it out of the hole and twisting the body in the middle until it was in the middle of the street.

The tow truck driver was in the wrong position to pull it out of the hole to be begin with which is obvious once he pulls and slides into the row of cars because the cable is at the wrong angle.

this all could have been avoided

[stephklemp]

I agree with pbeachy - in fact, I think the tow truck was ordered to get it out with any means necessary. It would probably cost a lot more money to the city to get another plow truck, as well as the business owners who don't get business because their streets are not plowed. They probably calculated that it is cheaper to do $10K of damage on a car and get the plow out. They just should have told the owners of the car that it might happen.

[lukin4aman]

@stephklemp all 3 vehicles are city owned, its on the news

[mingman82]

Well dumbass, would you have rather not gotten to work that morning?

[mitchfoster43]

Call Mr.Plow, that's my name...... LOL!

[D1ckeyDeuce]

The city will have to pay for it, and those guys will return to work tomorrow.

[EllieMcTex]

I'm a native New Yorker and don't agree that this imbecile's attitude is typical

[alexkool11]

this shit happen everywhere here in Boston too. City workers dont give a fuck.

[Bill1405]

WELCOME TO NEW YARK

YOU DONT LIKE HOW WEES DUZ BUSINEES THENS YA CAN GO F YA SELF.

Read this with a Brooklyn accent.

This is typical new york additude.

[EllieMcTex]

uhh - ya think that might be categorized as "recklessness" &  "leaving the scene of an accident"? Certainly the NYPD has issued citations and if not WHY NOT? Accountability should certainly be required of the pea-brained wacko driving the tow-truck.

[lukin4aman]

@EllieMcTex the 3 vehicles are city owned, the 2 guys knew that. Watch some news

[pbeachy]

Moving heavy equipment with no room to play it is almost inevitable something like this would happen. Once the car got hit, oh well it was damaged, so just do what you need to in order to get the equipment operational and back working. If they had left it stuck, it would have cost way more in down time than the repairs to the car. I am honestly SHOCKED that som many people are shocked and upset by this.

[generation1313]

@pbeachy I suspect that with this video evidence, there will be punitive damages in addition to the cost of the TWO vehicles.

[killerofchicken]

@pbeachy you're saying that it would have cost more than $10,000 if they left the thing stuck? DOUBTFUL

[EvilTim001]

Just heard about this on yahoo news but the main video for it had already been taken off

[maker702]

YOU RETARD!!!!!!!!

[maker702]

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!! ARE THEY OUT OF THER MIND?? SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME!!!!!!!!

[kwedgworth2000]

I can not believe that we allow this to happen. They should lose their jobs over being this stupid. I am in shock.

[wooderist]

The yahoo nws story said the owner of the SUV (with 95,000) is a city employee. Do these people know each other? The story said the neighbors (not the SUV guy) were shouting at the equipment drivers. I smell a New York rat looking for a new set of wheels.

[nm17750]

sad part about it is the Mayor Bloombergs reaction. He said if you got damaged file a claim. No apology from the city and no reprimand or anything to the tow truck driver. I guess since the mayor is rich so is the city of New York

[ezd1023]

I think it's just awlful what happened... we will be hearing about this for awhile.... lucky we are just getting rain and wind over here in Cali...

[daupstart]

City Workers: "It's ok, he won't notice"...

[stevehoadley1]

The problem is not him hitting the car, The real problem is when he says to hell with it and hits it over and over. He should be fired for the blatent disregard for priverate property. As far as the comment to chill out and let insurance pay, just helps everyones rates go up and up and up!!!

[ntrevino123]

hi gate! see this is why i didn't go with you guys!

[unoloquito]

friendly fire. good thing there is witnesses. otherwise, it would have been a hit a run.

[mxrgn54]

city union workers ah ant the just the best I bet he get a promotion

[planthi80]

Stupid over paid city workers......I've seen worse~!

[fastbeatz]

This people just don't care for other peoples properties. They both should be put on discipline suspencions for the damage the didi to those cars.....

[thatrussianak]

nice, insurance will pay

[vf454]

thats price you pay for living in the city

[snakejohnson]

@vf454 At least they came to plow the streets. The plows in New Jersey just said, fuck it. Let them stay in the snow mountain

[tufnellable]

@vf454 I'd never accept this as the price for living any where.

[aavallone]

Are you people THAT IGNORANT? Do you not know which elevators are in which building?

It's the worst elevator in the world.

funny shit

[MrJaapStobbe]

How dumb can one be?

[Adamification100]

yeah he would get shot around here if he did that to my truck! thats fing stupid! No dont hit my car.... f that go down there and make him stop. Just saying...lol

[ngasukowe]

relax buddy you covered with insure, so just chill you sound like a pussy

[slackrjakk]

@ngasukowe ...lol, it's not even his truck!

[owancejackie]

Rogue NYC Sanitation Worker. If he did that to my SUV, I would break his face. Retarded bastard.
