In a time when ac cannot fly over display crowds etc,it would not have taken much for that to have gone wrong. The authorisation trail would have been interesting................

They're French & were told they were standing on the Maginot Line...naturally, they believe that nothing would get past it...

No, the only requirement is total stupidity on the part of those who thought of it and those Darwin candidates taking part. Unless it's a fake of course.

Hey! I resemble that!

I have put my hand in many things, but this is not one of them.

They're French
They can't be French, that tank is going forward and no one is surrendering for a start.

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".
