He was clearly trying to retrieve his truck that had been towed. I'm sure he caused more damage than the cost of the ticket, though.

I guess he wasn't too keen on having his vehicle recovered after some sort of crash. I bet the wrecking company moved in and hitched up his vehicle without approval. I once saw a documentary about recovery firms in some US state and it was like the wild west. Seemed as though the first firm on the scene got the job regardless. Perhaps it's the same deal in this clip!! |

Very reminiscent of the 1967 fire on the USS Forrestal in the Gulf of Tonkin, when a Zuni rocket accidentally fired across the flightdeck into a parked Skyhawk. The ensuing fire and explosions caused of $72M damage to the ship and killed 134 crew and injured 161. 21 aircraft were destroyed and 40 more put out of action through damage. Two years later it happened again on the USS Enterprise (no, not the starship!) when a Zuni cooked off and exploded. This time the damage came to $126M (including aircraft) but only 28 died, although 314 were injured and 15 aircraft destroyed. The first fire was ultimately found to have been caused by electrical noise, the second was due to the Zuni "cooking off" due to the heat from an aircraft tug ("Huffer") exhaust. Both led to significant changes in US carrier operation and damage control. |

^^ Shocking, made worse by the fact that she is a solicitor and she was actually convicted of perverting the course of justice. So she knew what she was doing, lied repeatedly, and yet she is an MP. Oh, and she intends to appeal.
Absolutely and utterly beneath contempt! No wonder people are losing faith in our MPs. |

That is bad especially considering these people (MP's) are thought of by some as pillars of society.
It comes to something when someone can lie in court it really does. Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ And if You Love the Country, then we’re on the same side ~ I got’ love for Britain, I got’ British pride’. 🇬🇧 |
