Bob Hudson Posted May 3, 2011 Share #6 Posted May 3, 2011 I hope the drivers opted for the collision damage waiver when they checked out those vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dschneck Posted May 4, 2011 Share #23 Posted May 4, 2011 Bummer number 9 is definitely top of the class for me! Will I'm obviously NOT an armour guy, but these are great. I like #9 too...it looks like they are all trying to get their story straight befor ethe brass shows up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST Posted May 4, 2011 Share #24 Posted May 4, 2011 These photos show that gravity and armor don't mix! However... not all of these accidents are a result of liquid stupidity either. You will note in some of the photos the ground is saturated. When you add 20+ tons to rain soak ground, roads collapse and bad things happen. I had the "pleasure" of being terrified when the ground gave way underneath my Bradley IFV and we went sliding down a hill, sideways, towards a culvert. As I was the one with my head sticking out of the turret, I could see what we were heading for and knew we would roll over. I was screaming at my driver to get this thing moving forward (like he wasn't trying to do that already) when the treads finally caught and we regained control. It probably only took 15 seconds but it seemed like several lifetimes to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpw_42 Posted May 4, 2011 Share #25 Posted May 4, 2011 Beast sure nailed it. If #20 is from when / where I think it was made, the tank commander drowned after it rolled, with his legs in the turret and body pinned between the soft mud and the the cupola...operating at night, in a rainstorm during peacetime "routine training." When the pics are made in the bright daylight it sure doesn't paint the whole picture, which leaves one wondering "but why," based on a significant lack of facts.
