    Jesus dude. Cant imagine being in that poor guys position.

    Im interested in the fact that they don’t seem to be worried about secondary explosions.

  2. Brave guys trying to help, it’s a burning vehicle filled with explosives…

    I remember watching this YEARS ago and I always felt soo bad for the tanker.

    I’ve heard that your buddies in combat are essentially closer to you than you are with family. So watching them in a burning tank knowing they can’t escape and being the sole survivor must be gut-wrenching.

    He probably had alot of survivor’s guilt from this experience.

    Given that the engine was powered by petrol and not diesel, the gas burned readily and rapidly. Deadly combination.
