It’s when you drive really fast at the spot, and spin sideways and slide into the spot. Yeah, it’s possible, but it’s very difficult to pull off. World record is fitting in a spot with about 4 inches clearance I think.
Hmm…. See the drive wheel with spikes on the bottom? He backed off the cliff. The turret is facing the back of the tank. I guess that makes it slightly easier to see how it could have happened, given that the driver probably couldn’t have seen the cliff, but you have to wonder why none of the crew in the turret noticed…
Actually the crew did exactly what was required in such a situation: rotate the turret in the direction of the fall so that the tank doesn’t flip over and crush the turret crew.
I do this all the time in Video games. Somehow I modded Halo so all vehicles can be destroyed. Tank+large cliff+marines pinned down at bace of cliff= ‘splodey tank= epic fail.
1. This tank was driving forward when this happened. If you look at the how far the barrel would stick out if it was facing the other way would give it an unstable firing platform. 2. There would never have been enough time to spin the turret to “prevent the crew from being crushed”. 3. the rest of these comments are hilarious haha
First:Color and sign clearly IDF.Merkava tank only driven by IDF.
It wasnt destroyed by hesbollah(lol).(the background shows the West Bank)
it shows no signs of being shot at with sth effective.
its a normal driving accident.

How? Drive off some sort of cliff or cliff like thing. Alcohol is optional but might help in achieving such a failure.

Guys, he’s just practicing his perpendicular parking. Parallel parking is for losers.

“Stop the tank? I aint stopping the tank for noone, they better get out of my way, cause i’m driving a motha….” *CRASH*
It`s a total pizdets, gentlemen!
It’s from Israel’s attack on Lebanon.
Israeli tanks have the military symbol “tzal” on them. This one does not so not quite sure if it’s israeli.
its an israeli tank i know the dude that failed this one!!! (has nothing to do with lebanon)
Attack on enemy tunnels gone wrong?
so mr. president, how’s the campaign?
maybe you should talk to those military designers about having a topographic sensor put in. might help
Its in the desert not in Lebanon.. was while a training ;o
Gomer, told by his TC to “dig in”, misunderstands in epic proportions.

I am afraid that you are wrong. The Merkava has its engine up front. This means that the tank fell off the cliff front first.
What would happen if the guns were fired at THAT moment??
jesus, its a picture from indiana jones : the holy grail
big movie knowlege fail my friend….
lmao movie knowledge fail, that is not even the title of the movie you are referring to.

I don’t think they had the time to do this, the turret is always directed forward usually when you ride unless you have to fire at something
Kudos. With his parking skills he probably could
park a hummer on a beermat.
Epic win……correctly proportioned kickstand, excellent parking efficiency!
Indiana Jones fail?
Easy, go over a steep edge.
Apparently the driver thought that all terrain vehicles were not limited by cliffs

That thank was destroyed by the lebanese resistance (Hizbollah) during the 2006 war between Israel and Lebanon.
that is just not true.
it is a Merkava tank from Israel’s army but this accident happend during training
ex.
Are you sure?
Theriouthly?
all-terrain?
“going down, tell your wife I love her!”
lmao
Where did this happen?
it is in lebanon
you go over the side of a cliff, a guy did it that went to my high school, he was killed in a tank accident like this
the fat person was sitting on that side
dang
FIRE!
A tank drop gone wrong.
New invention- tank kickstand!
$11 million dollars to build, and you drive it off a cliff?

omg all of you r wrong. it because they did not build a bridge on time then the crew just looked at the map not the road and then ‘crash’
LOL XD
JOKE ;D
hippy win
military fail
it is from the israeli attack on lebanon..i should know im lebanese..and thats not a desert.and it was destroyed by hizbollah
Why would you be driving towards the edge of a cliff anyways?
OSAMAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!11!!
wow I wonder if the driver was hurt he would at least have a head ache me thinks
why is everyone saying it Israeli but you can plainly tell its a british chellenger 1 tank
i blame osama
lol
