Smart Car Owners Get Their Revenge - Tank Tipping!!

[wayoflife]

Seriously, I just saw this and was amazed that this could even be done. Any of you military guys have an idea how you could do something like this?

That's impressive.

what overlander said. this is impressive since those things weight what, 20 tons?

 

[StrizzyChris]

Probably on the I40 somewhere between new Mexico and Arizona.... those cross winds can be a bitch!

Wow! I used to work on a Bradley and just can't imagine how that happened! If this pic was taken on a hillside, maybe, but it looks pretty flat.

looks as of it came loose on a lowbed truck and fell of.

trust a troop to mess anything up!

 

[JeepFan]

Yup! I think it fell off a truck too! Wow!!

Pop the clutch!?

 

[kornchip]

I would hate to have been the private that did that!

 

[kornchip]

I say that because if they weren't a private before.. they are now...haha

I have seen my share of rolled LAV's. I have actually been to three rollovers noncombat related. Catch a steep rut, and try to over correct. Ours are similar to what the Marines have, eight wheels. The Bradley being tracked has a lower centre of gravity. Still I think this is a roll over not falling off flat bed.

Looks like they may have been going a wee bit fast to negotiate the turn on payment. If that was the case then there would have been a lot more dirt piled up.
