Now heres something you'll really like!

Got this from a friend.

From time to time someone asks me what the concrete barriers are in
front of controlled and secure buildings. When I tell them that the
barriers will stop traffic, even trucks, from approaching the secure
building I usually get a look of disbelief. I've been looking for some
footage like this to prove my point. In this test, the following
parameters were used. Read them and then watch the film.


Truck = 65,000 lbs.

Speed = 50 mph

Kinetic Energy = 5.5 MILLION ft. lbs.

Stopped in 24 INCHES!





Dial-up beware

WOW !!
Just like that Madonna Video where she slams the car into a pole inthe end

It is fairly obvious that straight on doesn't work well.
