During an incident in Russia recently, a wheeled loader driver rammed the machine into a row of cars as well as a van, before the piece of equipment then ground to a halt. At this point one of the owners of the vehicles that had been damaged jumped up and began pummelling the wheeled loader driver. Other enraged vehicle owners quickly appeared and the wheeled loader driver stumbled out of the machine cab, to be further assaulted by those surrounding him. The wheeled loader driver was barefoot and seemed to be drunk, although this would not necessarily explain his actions.

The car was stripped of any identification as well as many mechanical components, reducing its weight sufficiently for it to be suspended from a single cable. After a period left hanging, the vehicle was l

    In China an irate man used a wheeled loader with which to display his anger, forcing police to intervene.

While trying to make amends with his father-in-law and his, by now, estranged wife and children, the man became involved in a heated argument. In a display of anger, he then drove the wheeled loader at his
