Caterpillar Demonstration
Press Release
On April 13th, 2005 Caterpillar Corporation invites residents of Chicago and area to join our company in commemorating the 30 year anniversary of Evel Knievel's successful 1975 jump over 14 buses at King's Island in Ohio. A variety of family friendly events are scheduled, with the highlight a special appearance by the son of the 1970's motorcycle daredevil, Robbie Knievel. There is no charge to attend.
With the assistance of a ramp, Robbie Knievel will be attempting a jump in our own company provided D11R tractor.
The demonstration will take place at 50 South LaSalle Street from 12 noon until 3 PM.

If they called it Gaza Flats, in honour of Rachel Corrie, they could pull in a bigger crowd.

Also, you're supposed to go OVER the bulldozer.
