This is the Captain speaking

lol nice dont know if yall heard about this but everytime we do a convoy we get reminded of this .... Chain of Command was NOT too impressed
quick info about the video ...
the Vehicle is a ICV (Infantry Carrying Vehicle) light armour.. weighs approx. 19 tons with out the armor we use overseas on it... has air brakes and should never exceed the speed limit as in a convoy we travle at or below the speed limit (usually 5 - 10 mph under) and anyone who has used air brakes knows not to pump the breaks. the vehicle is also equipped with a jake brake which is to be used when a large hill is present.
this is the result of a 19 ton armored vehicle traveling down hill at a rate of 70mph after a brake failure. (which is still debated as either driver error or equipment failure)
Enjoy! :)
