The Boxing Day blizzard can add plain old idiocy to the list. While Bloomberg was off telling everyone to be patient with the plows, those pesky guys were getting stuck up all over the place. Naturally, some of them needed to get towed. Now sit back and watch as a truck in Brooklyn Heights tows a plow into a parked Ford Explorer as its owner screams on in the background.
According to the video's poster, who also can be heard yelling, "the vehicle WAS....wait for it....A NYC Dept of Buildings city owned vehicle. I went down, I know the owner [of the Ford], they are aware of the video and no police ever came."
