Think those barriers out in front of Federal buildings are there just for looks? Not so fast....

Check this test out: Ka Bam!

Truck = 65,000 lbs.

Speed = 50 mph

Kinetic Energy = 5.5 MILLION ft. lbs.

Stopped in 24 INCHES!

i didn't feel a thing. not a bit. damn impressive those walls are, Dinger said it would hold up, and i didn't believe him.:rolleyes:
whoowee! the construction company we got the truck from sure was pissed. i don't think they'll let me come back.:nono:




No Larry's not that dumb, he'd jump out and get run over.
