Watch A Lorry Get Absolutely Obliterated By A Crash Barrier In Slow Motion
This beefy steel barrier is intended to stop an explosive-laden truck at 50mph - something it should be very effective at doing, if this test is anything to go by
With explosive-laden trucks being used in a number of horrific terrorist atrocities over the years, the US State Department is understandably keen to come up with ways of preventing this method of attack. That’s why the State Department gave the guys at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute a call, who developed this ludicrously strong steel barrier. It’s seven metres wide and is buried 45cm into the ground, and as you can see, it looks to be rather effective.
