On June 4, 2004, Marvin Heemeyer, a welder and former Air Force serviceman, unleashed chaos on Granby, Colorado, with a DIY tank. His creation—a heavily armored, modified Komatsu bulldozer—could withstand bullets and grenades, leaving police and SWAT teams helpless as he destroyed multiple town buildings, including a cement factory, town hall, and bank. Heemeyer’s rampage lasted over two hours, ending only when his bulldozer got stuck in a hardware store basement. This video dives into the shocking details of Heemeyer’s calculated and destructive "MK Tank" assault on the town.
