Irresponsible and indefensible.

They're French & were told they were standing on the Maginot Line...naturally, they believe that nothing would get past it...
Except the cunning Bosch would divert via Belgium and trundle round the side

I remember a BBC documentary on the Foreign Legion. The trainees lay face-down in the road in a line, each with his head at the feet of the guy in front.

The tank drove down the line. If you didn't let the track touch your helmet you were a wuss.

Taught me a great lesson about deadlines!

Good piece of stunting. The tank is actually on a video projected on a wall, and the blokes and gals are standing in front of the wall.

What's the old saying? "Believe nothing that you read, nothing that you hear, and only half what you see".
Err, in that case why isn't the projected image also projected on the people in front of the wall?

In CGI land the video would be shot twice, once sans crowd and the other sans tank, then they would be blended together by a technician.

Note that no dust cloud moves over the crowd.

This clip was originally taken from the Dutch
http://s634.photobucket.com/user/Den...kopie.mp4.html .
As you can see someone suddenly got "cold feet"...


dumpert.nl - Leopard doet noodstop
picked it up from that "Photobucket-link".
The words in the first few seconds can be loosely translated as "it is filming now!".


Strong rumours are a class of an internationally well-regarded Dutch flying school was involved...

Also note that no one walks back to the tank...
