Atomic bomb vs Centurion Tank

This guy's YouTube channel is always worth a watch and has lots of interesting nuggets. Today I discovered this video on what happened when a Centurion tank was left near the epicentre of a nuclear bomb.

Impressive that the tank was all tickety boo after the blast. The bags of water that normally live in the tank wouldn't have survived, however, so it's all a bit moot.

"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

Comments says, 14 served and 12 died of cancer as Im assuming the machine was heavily radioactive after the event and no fire hose is going to change that!

Interesting video, I wonder if it’s still “radioactive”. Seems madness to send crew in to drive it before it was decontaminated Shocked
