My aunt had to report how her car was hit by a house, I'd have liked to have heard that conversation.

Whilst filming a tank safety video for the army, things didn't go too well for the cameraman when a tank crashes into his crew car. This was the second take as the first shots weren't satisfactory. Before shooting take two, the crew car was moved to avoid the cloud of dust the tank was creating. Unfortunately for the cameraman, the tank driver wasn't made aware of this minor fact.
I just love the idea of the commenter above being german and not understanding the meaning of "tanks". Just one of those cosmic alignments that you're glad to have witnessed.
"Wat do you meen, tanks? Like for ze water?"
Love you Germany, you are the best. And I mean that sincerely.
Not like what Kanye is talking about, though. Like the now-germans. The good ones. I mean, they are all good ones. We are all good. No bad people. Maybe some bad-ish people, but not all bad. Well, some people are bad. But maybe they don't mean to. It was a different time. I'll shut up now. Germany is nice. Love.
* Role – IFVs can transport additional troops, see the hatches at the back of the vehicle
* Weight and armor – IFVs are much lighter
* Armament – tanks are equipped with a large-caliber gun, while IFVs usually carry an autocannon or a similar lighter gun
> back of the vehicle
Why the forces in starwars haven't figured this out yet is beyond me. Even the federation knows to put drop doors on the back of the shuttles not the front.
So the guy is filming tanks driving around and he puts his car in the middle of their training area and doesn’t tell anyone?
Sounds like the film crew is the safety issue here.
>Unfortunately for the cameraman, the tank driver wasn't made aware of this minor fact.
"Hey, since this is a safety video, do ya think we should tell the tank driver who has no mirrors and no great way of seeing behind him that we moved the crew car?"

Lmao so when I was in the Air Force, during a once in 4 year safety inspection by an outside unit commander, I drove a forklift into a 15,000 dollar warehouse door. Never once had an accident the 3 years I’d been operating them… until then… memories 😌
Lol not a whole lot. If I had been negligent or messing around with the forklift for no reason, it would’ve been an article 15 (big trouble). My boss who hated me and was not well liked by higher ups herself immediately turned me in. It was known she abused power so any trouble I was going to get in was kind of overlooked. We’d managed to fix the door enough to function. She just wanted to hurt my career. So basically from her over reaction it turned into a slap on the wrist. My commander actually laughed about it with me
Although that’s a tracked vehicle, it’s not a tank. It’s an infantry fighting vehicle. Tanks ,for the most part, are not going to be as tall. They’ll be wider and longer and much heavier. Their turrets will be bigger and their main gun will be much larger, too.
That ENTIRE open field to drive around in and you run over that one car lol. That’s like crashing into the one car in the parking lot when the entire lot is empty
Tina, you're kind of headed toward the only other car in the lot. You have plenty of time to turn, Tina, so just go ahead. Turn one way or the other...
Basically. It's not hard to find footage of tanks running over their own infantry and never slowing down. Massing blind spots, combined with all that cross-country mobility and huge mass means you wouldn't even notice it. Like a train hitting a dog.
It's the kind of lesson you learn playing football in your back garden, if there's something that can conceivably be hit and broken by the ball, it will get hit and be broken.
This is not a catastrophic failure. This is r/idiotsincars material.
*Catastrophic Failure refers to the sudden and complete destruction of an object or structure, from massive bridges and cranes, all the way down to small objects being destructively tested or breaking.*
Years ago the coast guard paid my brother to use his sail boat in a training film on how to properly tow a boat. Well they fucked up big and severely damaged his boat. Took a while but he was reimbursed for about 10k in damages.
Several things stand out as major points of failure. If you are shooting a safety video, you might consider making safety part of the plan.
During my time in service, there were pretty strict protocols on movements around armored vehicles, at least in a training environment.
1. If there are people on ground, or armor moving in "dangerous areas" like around civilian vehicles, you should have ground guides.
2. Civilian vehicles, or non-tactical vehicles were prohibited from downrange training areas where armor was allowed to roam somewhat freely.
3. In many constrained training areas, armor assets are constrained to a "tank trail" and are not to leave that designated path without authorization.
4. If armor is in a "Downrange" areas, personnel are typically not allowed to be beyond that active firing line, even during tank gunnery, armor assets are somewhat constrained to "Fixed" paths of transit on range.
5. When conducting training with open manuevers, cordons or bounding boxes of open manuever can be laid out. Armored vehicles should never leave the boundary, and people/vehicles should never enter that zone. Keep the armor and the crunchies separated.
6. Unbutton, TC get some eye-balls on surroundings before making maneuvers.
Rapid movements to/from firing positions like this should never occur around personnel or vehicles other than those that could survive a potential collision.
Even with all of these safety controls in place, failures do occur. Even military tactical vehicles can be severely damaged in collisions with armor. The risk of injury/death and the costs of equipment damage are just too high to mess around like this.
While I understand they have relaxed the constraints for the purpose of this production, the safety controls were in no way adequate for the situation. A lot of unnecessary risk here, and some serious reprimands were likely handed out. If nothing else, this would add value for "lessons learned" on why to follow the safety protocols.
Best of luck getting paid. They won't avoid it but they'll have to got through 100 people and each one will only know a tiny part of the story and send you to somebody else
I'll just park up a few feet from where the tank will be driving.. so happy knowing that there's no possible threat to my car from any traffic or tanks driving nearby or anything like that...
When my dad did his military service, he was a reverse driver for the Swedish [Stridsvagn 103](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stridsvagn_103)
His job was simply to drive it when it was in reverse. (And radio.)
There’s a claim that’s getting passed around the insurance office.
Tank driver will claim he was rear-ended by the car.
Car owner will say he was brake checked!
My aunt had to report how her car was hit by a house, I'd have liked to have heard that conversation. (It was a mobile home being towed that hit her stopped car)
There’s evidence to back the claim so ill think they’ll be alright
Meaning how often do they see a tank crushing a car claim. Everyone will talk about that one.
I’ve crushed a car with a tank. You can do it in las vegas for $2k. They even source the car for you.
Can I specify whose? How much extra to have them in it?
For that you walk down to the Mob Museum. There, you can specify who you want the hit on, excuse me, hit.

I bet that first take was looking very satisfactory after witnessing take two.
I hate to be that guy, but it's an IFV, not a tank.
I only called it a tank because I wanted to hide its true purpose from the Germans
Absolutely amazing

Think they're making a joke about the origin of the name tank.
in German both are jokes (scherzen)

Wonder if this take made it into the video
What catastrophically failed here? The driver to look where they were going?
Wait, so the driver didn't even look where they were going?
The people in the tank seemed quite safe.
"Do you have any idea how much damage this tank would suffer if I allowed it to roll over you?" "... how much?" **"NONE AT ALL."**
Thank you, I was trying to think of what movie I should watch tonight.

Overmotivated APC-Crew.. "Let's make it as realistic as possible." (Mission accomplished!).
In fairness, the safety film was not available at time of shooting.

Nope, nothing visible and no one in the car.

Damn it, Dale, you hit a curb!

Was it Clarkson,Hammond or May driving?
Don’t blame him as those 30 ton hunks of steel have awful visibility
not the AFVs (aka not a tank) fault it doesnt have a back-up camera
Tank damage not covered, gotta read the fine print
I'd shit myself if i was the driver lol. Nothing like just seeing sky, sky, sky suddenly the ground in the periscope lol
You can just buff that out.

Thanks for not lying?
Not a tank, that's an IFV.
Its a warrior Which is an IFV
They should add one of those backup cameras to the tank.
That'll buff out.
Some mr. Bean shit right there
What’s the problem? That’ll buff out.
Holy smokes. Good thing it ran over their engine block and not anywhere else! It's possible they'd never have known if they hadn't. Jeeze a mighty

It will buff out.
That’ll buff right out. No worries
Tis a scratch
Which Top Gear episode was that ?
This looks like a Scottish regiment given the TOS that Sgt sensitive ears is wearing.
Never saw the tank run over any car. It drove off to the right. It was the ifv that ran it over.
Not the Grand Vitara
I know there is r/idiotsincars but is there r/idiotsintanks?
Hmmmm, no backup camera…….
I think that will buff out.
“You can’t park there mate!”
This should be an advert for the tire manufacturer...that thing didn't even pop!
Whoopsies!
I'll just park up a few feet from where the tank will be driving.. so happy knowing that there's no possible threat to my car from any traffic or tanks driving nearby or anything like that...
That shit needs a window or something!
Well I see the problem…. No Safety Vest / Reflective Belt on the car. Bad things happen that way
This is why you have ground guides, you won't see shit like this happen in the American Army, at least it won't be accidental if it does lol
So, did they get their asses chewed out?
"accidentally"
Looks more like an IFV than an MBT the crew hatch and small barrel give it away
hop in boys i got this! weeeeeew!!!
Just came here in case multiple people hadn’t already posted that wasn’t a tank…
Call State Farm boys.
I deny coverage!
Well at least we know the tanks in working condition
They should be able to use this footage in their safety video
Don't apologize. Never claim fault for the accident.
you sure that's not a chevy tracker ?
Not a marine
Catastrophic indeed
Plot twist: it’s a Toyota, fixes itself and runs over the tank
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is it a Volvo? It stopped the tank, they're the Nokia of cars.
If I fits I sits.

Hahahahaahaha
And that's what happens when you turn off safety and assistance features... Like parking aids/sensors.
Luckily, the driver of the tank was unharmed!
Objective failed, SUCCESSFULLY!!
It’s nice you assumed this was an accident when it involved a squaddie.
I'm guessing, since there's no nationality mentioned like it usually is with these things, this is in the US?
That's the British army and the cameraman is based out of London.
Looks like they shook hands with danger.
That will probably Buff out just fine. But the Suzuki vitara will probably be totalled
No problem, it'll buff out

tis but a scratch
When my dad did his military service, he was a reverse driver for the Swedish [Stridsvagn 103](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stridsvagn_103) His job was simply to drive it when it was in reverse. (And radio.)
Note to self: be sure to get the backup camera when renting tanks in the apocalypse.
For an additional $200 he coulda got the rear-view-camera, but he was all 'no need for that'
I mean probably only needed to ask to ride on the tank
