Awesome vid of a truck and a concrete barrier.

It's obvious how it ends but shit hot nonetheless.

Two minute video clip download on dialup.

Giddy up.

I guess its a demonstration of a truck proof barrier to prevent car bombs and such getting too close to buildings. That is one hell of a crash and a very effective barrier.

LewisCouch · 03-26-2004, 08:55 PM

Very impressive barrier. I wonder how it performs with explosives involved.

Ilow · 03-26-2004, 08:56 PM

If I was in the barrier market, i'd get me some of those!

CamaroRS1967 · 03-27-2004, 09:07 AM

Wow, what a barrier. And such a violent crash! I wonder what they did to make these barriers so much stronger?

Moonduck · 03-27-2004, 10:17 AM

Wow.

I work in the collision repair industry, and have seen what happens to vehicles and structures when hit bit a heavy truck like that. That wall is unsupported. Wow.

Engineering marvel.

Scorps · 03-27-2004, 12:37 PM

WOW!

that truck had to going a good 80mph if not more..damn strong barrier!

KirStang · 03-27-2004, 10:12 PM

omg, scary...

That truck must have been going fast. I wonder if anyone would have survived.

So if it is indeed an intentional crash done in order to test a barrier, that means the truck was remote-controlled, and hence without a driver (ph34r my reasoning skills). That takes away from the whole drama of it all. Meh.

Asuka{eve} · 04-05-2004, 09:31 PM

that is amazing... man i expected the truck to go through!!! what is that wall made out of???

The intentional nature of the crash wasn't obvious at first. There was a distinct possibility that a camera was rolling as an unfortunate driver crashed accidentally into a wall. (Yes, it does happen. Ever see Real TV on Spike?). However, after reading the comments, I realized that the crash didn't involve a driver and was intended as a test for a barrier.

absorbentishe · 04-06-2004, 10:59 AM

Holy crap! I remember seeing a show about this, testing the strenghts of barriers. Something after 9/11, for security around embassies, and gov't buildings, etc.

Confederate · 04-06-2004, 03:49 PM

I've been showing this clip to all my friends, I am impressed every time i see it.

BoomTruck · 04-06-2004, 09:12 PM

Damn..... that's one way to FUBAR a perfectly good Louisville.....

Oh ya Real TV, that would be crazy if there was someone in there driving that truck!
