The accident occurred after an embankment on an unimproved road collapsed, causing two Stryker infantry carrier vehicles to roll over into a canal. ABC News says it was not a result of hostile fire. Hmmm. You don't reckon that could've happened to a 113 or even a Humvee?

The Stryker was originally a Canadian system with a bad reputation of rollover. Speed + tendency to rollover = problem.

We've had an M113 and an Abrams go into canals. The Abrams went into the canal when the Iraqis shot a bridge out from under it. The M113 went into the canal when one of its tracks with over 3,000 miles on them broke causing the vehicle to slew to one side.
I have not heard of any Humvees being driven into the canals. I don't believe liquor is allowed there.
