Yeah, that story is interesting. If this were LA, it would be on every single TV for the next week. Sadly, it's not.
Ever since 9/11, al Qaeda hasn't even come close to displaying this level of Yankee ingenuity.

Actually, a correction on that...
From http://www.5minutesonline.com/1D/KILLDOZER.htm
This made for TV classic has been missing in action for almost 30 years!
Made in 1974 as an ABC Suspense Movie of the week, the story concerns a group of construction workers building an airstrip on a South Pacific island during World War II, who disrupt an ancient native temple and uncover a strange meteorite sealed within its walls. When they attempt to move the massive rock using one of their bulldozers, an unknown entity containted within the meteorite uses his/her malevolent mind to take over bulldozer. Of course this can only mean bad things for all the construction workers involved considering the alien controlled bulldozer now wants to kill them all for trying to bulldoze it's home, the earth. Kind of like an update of the Mummy, only instead of a really slow guy in bandages you get a really slow giant piece of heavy machinery.
This film was based on the comic book Marvel Worlds Unknown #6 and adapted for the screen by acclaimed science fiction writer Theodore Sturgeon
