This is so outrageous it seems like a hoax.
Snow Plow Cleanup FAIL

Coming from a country where blizzards are a regular occurance, I'm not sure what else could have happened. There's not enough room for them to actually maneuver the front loader out of the spot away from the Explorer. The only truly silly thing is not raising the basket high enough to clear the Explorer's roof, but the rest of it? Inevitable, folks. This is what happens when you're trying to deal with more now than you know how to handle.

The comments under the video are better than the footage, itself!

What gets me is the idiot taxi drivers. They drive on unplowed streets, then get stuck and think they can just step on the accelerator to get the car out. I had one Sunday night in front of my apartment for 15 minutes continually stepping on the gas. I could smell the gas fumes in my apartment.

If there's not enough room to remove it without damaging the other car, over and over and over, how about just stop trying and leave it there. That's what else could have happened.

Or, how about calling the supervisor, FIRST to problem solve. How about hand digging out the snow around the tires of the front loader. How about stopping the first time you hit the car. I hope they take the $30,000 to replace the car out of those two idiots pay check.
