Disgruntled employee destroys luxury homes with excavator after getting fired

In a shocking incident, a disgruntled employee in Canada's Calgary destroyed luxury homes using an excavator after getting fired by his employer. A video of the incident, which is now going viral, shows the employee ruthlessly smashing a house with the heavy construction equipment.

The video shared on Twitter was apparently shot by a shocked bystander before police officers arrived at the scene. Don Tapscott, who posted the clip on Twitter, wrote: "You can't make this up. A disgruntled, fired employee from a marina near our lake house snapped and destroyed the entire marina with an excavator."



The video has gone viral with more than 272,000 views and over 5,000 likes by Tuesday morning.

According to a report in the Daily Star news site, officers arrived at the scene and arrested the 59-year-old, who is confirmed to be a former employee on the property. The owner of the property reportedly said that he was aware of the incident and confirmed that more than one building was damaged.

The result says the properties destroyed by the employee added up to more than CAD $14 million.
