Roadside Carnage Find: An Excavator Decimated By a Pissed Off Former Employee

Disgruntled ex-employees scare the crap out of their former employers and after seeing the photos after the jump, you’ll understand why. These were taken a couple years back by our Chicago area photo contributor Greg Rourke. According to Greg, the story involves a dude who was fired from his job as an equipment operator and was none too pleased about it.

Again, according to the story Greg got, the guy returned to the worksite after everyone had left for the day, mounted an excavator that was equipped with a hydraulic rock hammer and proceeded to absolutely annihilate another excavator that had only been working for 300 hours since new. That’s nothing with respect to the lifespan of machines like these.

Greg said the guy did such a job on this one that the engine block was even destroyed. Scroll down to see a project manager’s worst nightmare come true.

Thanks to Greg for the photos!
