WOW! What a mess! That is going to be a real repair nightmare. Just out of
curiosity I did a google search on the Bobcat you mentioned in the
recording. I have the link here to a video of the thing in action. (This
is in no way an endorsement) What a brutal machine! If this is what they
used on that cemetery, no wonder the damage to the stones is so severe. I
hope the people responsible are found and penalized accordingly.
