(4,554 posts)is there any chance at all the tank (or whatever it is) was skidding out of control?
crickets
(25,963 posts)in order to hit the car. The tank driver had to show expert control to aim that skid precisely over the automobile, making no attempt whatsoever to slow down. Sadly, that was no accident. There was nothing and no one else on the road, and no other reason for the tank to change direction. It was attempted murder of a civilian.

(86,569 posts)They missed their turn and failed to negotiate. It's hard to see in those things and that car coming up and trying to veer around it, the tank operator probably didn't even see it until it stepped on it.

(4,554 posts)maybe what you mention and/or a mechanical issue (stuck throttle or steering...)??
It may have well been deliberate but it still looks odd, like an accident.

(10,828 posts)I watched the vid. This man was crunched twice, forward and back by that damn tank. And he survived!
I want an Ukrainian transfusion. These people are tough. He's not young either.
Utterly miraculous.
Also a grotesque war crime by these thugs.
