Watch Six Bulldozers Battle Each Other on the Streets of China in the Craziest Fight Ever
This is madness. Like, seriously what in the hell is going on. In northern China, multiple bulldozers apparently got so mad at each other that they started one of the craziest demolition derbies I’ve ever seen on a public road. It’s a legitimate royal rumble between heavy machinery. There are normal cars on the street driving around trying to avoid the ridiculousness that is giant bulldozers trying to ram the hell out of each other! Some of the bulldozers even got flipped over!
It’s like deer fighting each other head to head, only they’re giant construction machines and it’s not just a one on one battle. It’s like six idiots controlling giant mechs just because they’re pissed off at each other. Actually, it’s not like that. It is that.
The AP said that the construction workers were from two competing companies but have not said if anyone got arrested or hurt. In the video, you do see one (presumably) crazy dude get flipped over in his bulldozer and immediately run to another (presumably) friendly bulldozer in hopes of flipping the machine back on its feet to (presumably) continue fighting.

Bulldozer fight: Chinese construction workers duel in the street

BEIJING -- Police in northern China say an argument between construction workers escalated into a demolition derby-style clash of heavy machinery that left at least two bulldozers flipped over in a street.
In online video taken Saturday, several bulldozers are seen ramming each other while passenger cars scurry away from the cloud of dust.
The video shows one driver running unhurt out of his toppled bulldozer, a fast-moving type also known as a wheel loader, while a friendly bulldozer tries to lift it back up.
The construction workers were from two companies competing for business, Xu Feng, a local government spokesman in Hebei province's Xingtang county, said Monday. He said he couldn't disclose details about arrests or injuries until an investigation concludes.
China's construction sector has fallen on hard times, with growth down by two-thirds from its peak a decade ago. Real estate construction represents close to a quarter of China's economy, a far higher proportion than other major countries, and its slowdown is now sending ripples through industrial sectors such as steel, glass and cement, causing waves of layoffs.
