I have noticed most tank-car accidents occur on (over) the car’s side of the fender.

Solo tank crashes, however, often tend to end up with a shorter, but rather more dramatic, fall from grace.
Fall from the road.
Slide from the road.
Into the ditch.
Into the river.
Out of the ditch.

You know, tanks generally don’t fall very far. Nor very fast. Just very firmly. 8>)

Yep, but hey, why crash with style and drama when you can just get it over with quick? :)

Reminds me of a new driver I had as a 2LT just after my tanks brakes were fixed (too well)...... One concussion and smashed teeth later... Well, at least I hooked up with this cute girl.....
