A miracle escape for Lincolnshire motorists this morning as a ten-ton tank rolled off a lorry crushing two cars in Gainsborough - see Lincs Echo.
This is just the latest in a series of similar incidents. I'm sure Lincolnshire Police will fully investigate whether the 'tank' was properly secured and why the accident happened.
In fact, the 'tank' is more likely to have been an armoured personnel carrier, as British tanks weigh in at over 50 tons.
And I've no doubt that had it been a fully-fledged tank, the drivers of the cars it landed on would not have lived to tell their tale...

Sorry Phil - That "Tank" looks as if it contains liquids, rather than H M Forces !

Thanks GW...you are right...
seems it was a tank in the original sense of the word...
Still, i suspect ten tons of bright yellow civilian tank would spoil your whole day just as much as a camoflaged one would...
Phil, You disappoint us yet again!
So much has happened over the last few days and yet there is no comment from blogmeister!
Has it all spun out of control??
or are you just having a well-earned break??
Might it be an oil tank, suppose not. could it be an empty tank, nope then it must of been a small tank yep
