KILLDOZER: How a Man Made His Own Tank | Tales From the Bottle

’Tales From the Bottle’ tells the tale of the KILLDOZER, the man who made it, and the why, the what and the how. “Marvin John Heemeyer (October 28, 1951 – June 4, 2004) was an American welder and an automobile muffler repair shop owner most known for his rampage with a modified bulldozer. Outraged over zoning disputes, he armored a Komatsu D355A bulldozer with layers of steel and concrete and used it on June 4, 2004 to demolish the town hall, the former mayor’s house, and other buildings in Granby, Colorado.
