What a dumb shit!!
i plow with a cat 950 front end loader, and the only casualties I have had are a fence and 2 manhole covers.
I have also been operating since I was a wee little lad. my dad taught me, he has been an operator for over 40yrs, my brother was also an operator (R.I.P bro).
bad judgment call there guys. Better get a supervisor and your checkbook. Bloomburg will have to have a press conference and make it like he was the one who settled the issue.
