Brembos yeah?

A couple of them flinched.

That was still a pretty dumb stunt to pull, unless it's somehow faked.

Pending Darwin award candidate right there.

Wonder what the road looked like after that kind of abuse. Impressive though.

I always like watching Tanks do emergency stops - Buzzes me out how much difference the increase in surface area makes....

You are in a tank....... does it really matter if your brakes work?

**p.dath** · 31st January 2014, 06:56

That was probably scary for both the people standing there AND the tank driver.

It's a little known fact that the Most powerful anti tank weapon known to man is an old lady crossing the road.

That is why all tanks have really good brakes.

SUITS !!!!! Why did the tank driver bother to brake ???

But not in Tiennamin square, the chinese like running old ladies over with tanks.
