It was a bulldozer that the young girl stepped in front of a few years ago. She didn’t succeed in stopping it either. So I guess to journalists, dozers have the killer mentality about them. I’ve seen pictures of this front end loader on the news. Four nice big rubber tires and a decent sized bucket on the front, maybe four yards or so. I’m guessing that is was a CAT 950.

It would also be next to impossible to do as much damage as he did with a bulldozer due to it’s lower ground clearance. It’s blade also has a much shorter reach than the loader.

I suppose we ought to say our prayers and be thankful that it wasn't a LeTourneau/L2350. The L2350 is equipped with a 53 cu yd bucket!

A "wheel loader", if Caterpillar determines the nomenclature. Not even a really big one - a 966, maybe a 970, can't be sure - I'm a Deere guy.
But nobody calls that a bulldozer, except perhaps the masses who believe a semiautomatic carbine to be a machine gun.

I was trying to be satirical...I know. Why do you think I asked about rolling steam? :^{}

OK, if someone could have gotten into the enclosed engine compartment and severed a coolant hose there would have been a possibility of roiling steam. 8^)
Am very glad the perp was taken out fairly quickly knowing how destructive one of these machines can be.

Cordon off the Arab areas of Jerusalem, and evict and deport all squatters of illegal homes. You realize of course that there are over 10,000 illegally built Arab homes in Jerusalem alone? Imagine the furor if the Israeli Government actually enforced the law without discrimination based on race.
If a Jew dares to build a home without all the proper paperwork the Government will dispatch thousands of police to tear down the "settlement".
The Palestinian Authority has dispatched thousands of Arabs to settle Jerusalem without buying land or getting building permits.
Muslims are wiser in their evil than Jews are wiser in their mercy. Now both government are persecuting Jews!
Reverse discrimination is an amazing thing.

Thanks but sorry. Dialup and videos aren’t real good friends.

"it was the witness who they claim said bulldozer"
But once they saw video of the thing, don't they have the smarts to fix what they said? Sheesh already.

Thanks for the link.
“Police say it was an act of terrorism,” Judy Boysha of the Associated Press.
Technically, that is correct. But I'm disappointed that pointed that the AP does not come out and refer to it as terrorism. Russians said of Reagan that he called things by their true name. It's too bad we can't get the same from the AP.

I knew this guy when he lived in Chicago in the 1980s and always promised to flatten him myself if I saw him again. When I read this I couldn’t believe it was the same person, but it is. Talk about changing your ways! Back then he professed atheism and dug XXX movies.
