The Killdozer - Marvin Heemeyer

About this episode

The episode discusses the infamous incident involving Marvin Heemeyer and his armored bulldozer rampage in Granby, Colorado.

For nearly two hours on June 4, 2004, police officers, state troopers, and emergency responders watched helplessly as an armored bulldozer tore through the small mountain town of Granby, Colorado. Inside the machine was 52 year old Marvin Heemeyer, a welder and muffler shop owner who had spent years feuding with local officials, business owners, and members of the community before transforming a 49 ton Komatsu bulldozer into an improvised tank. What followed was a trail of destruction that flattened businesses, damaged public buildings, threatened lives, and ultimately turned a local zoning dispute into one of the most infamous acts of revenge in American history.
