WAY OT: but pretty cool! 2nd attempt
Thought you guys might enjoy this. It's apparently a demonstration of a
security barrier the military is testing. The truck weighs 65,000 lbs
and is traveling at 50 mph. I was told that the kinetic energy is equal
to about 5.5 million ft. lbs. The barrier stops the truck in a distance
of 24 INCHES.
Here's to you Mr. Military Engineer Guy
Crash!
Cheers!

Sorry, gang.
The hyperlink I copied wasn't a link at all.
The original message contains a good link now, I think.
Cheers!
