General Motors' Destruction of California Transit Systems...
Kerosene was poured on the streetcars and electric trains and they were burned, except a few placed in museums. Nothing was left of the transit system which had comprised 1479 streetcars and train cars and 771 trolley buses. Even the subway was made unusable by a future subway line. How awesome is that? I read some court cases about this in one of my b-school classes last semester.
