If I had to guess I would say there was a sign saying "snow plow route-no parking when it snows", not much care taken when that happens.

Truely shows difference between a driver vs. an operator.

Comical!

The tow trk operator, must've been a rookie too. Could've/should've parked on far side of street from the loader and winched him sideways while pulling him backwards. Perhaps this vid will make a good training video of 'what not to do'.

1.5 million views in two days, wow, wonder how it's linked to make that happen?

It's a tight single lane road - how far over can the truck get?
The road is a sheet of icy packed snow, and no chains on either loader or tow truck.
Spin your tires on that icy crap, and the loader and truck just follows the camber of the road down grade - right into the parked cars.
I'd call it operator error for not using chains...

That's why they have chain-up laws here in the Rocky Mtns, enforced with BIG $$$ fines.
So that operators/drivers won't go out there unprepared and mess everything up, causing 30-40 car pileups

6 - 8 feet further over, parked 8 -10 ahead of where he was at the beginning of vid, extend the boom, use the vertical riggers or underlift to help anchor the trk and winch it. The carnage could have been avoided with a little care & thought... likely both are $/hr so why get in a panic.

Wow. At first I thought the tow truck driver was the stupid one, but then as they made progress, I realized the guy in the front end loader was just as bad. Common sense isn't so common after all. You think they could have simply thrown some sand down on the ice, if it was that slippery. That loader would have walked right out of there without a problem, and without the tow truck helping.

If it weren't for the guy shouting into the camera...that would've been a far more educational video, but he turned it into an annoying one.

no pictures that i know of yet. The guy yelling was comical because of his think NY accent. but I agree it did get annoying!

I asked around for follow up pictures but nothing.
