Loader Showdown: Rival builders clash with trucks in bizarre street battle (VIDEO) | |
(about 17 hours later) | |
In what looks like a low-budget version of “Transformers” or a super-sized episode of “Robot Wars”, workers from two rival construction companies in China were captured battling front loaders in the middle of the street. | |
It started with two of the giant trucks ramming into each other with their buckets, before a third vehicle joins in, as passing traffic tries to maneuver around the bedlam. | |
As a fourth machine joins the impromptu battle, one of the original loaders tips over with the driver left to scurry away from the fallen beast. | |
Two more heavy vehicles join in as the dust cloud grows, one of which tries to get the fallen machine back onto its wheels. | Two more heavy vehicles join in as the dust cloud grows, one of which tries to get the fallen machine back onto its wheels. |
