I wonder how a tank crew would hold up broadsided by a 65mph Peterbilt with a full cap trailer? Someone should try this.

I seen an M-1 side-swipe a German beer truck on the Autoban once. It was very very sad.

I still wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of your challenge.

Tank crew in 136,000 pound tank versus 65mph full load 80, 000 pound Peterbuilt?

Thats a lot of money to waste in a crash. I don’t think seat belts and air bags would help anybody involved.

Saw this happen. The biggest piece of the truck left was the seat with the driver in it. I don’t think it moved the tank at all. Yes, the truck driver ran through the road guards at a crossing.
