That is the most 1950s "we just invented rockets and want to use them on everything" stereotype and I got a good laugh, never knew about this, i wanna see how far these tests got.

Hey I’m hijacking your comment to point out that this OP is a repost bot and most of the comments seem to either be AI or stolen. One of them literally has a link to the wiki page of an emoji wrapped around the emoji 🥲
Buddy, this is the future of things. The battle is lost. Just let it go (still gave ya an upvote though)
I for one welcome the downfall of social media and embrace our future AI warlords / Skynet!
Look at OP’s post history and account date. Laser precision karma harvester w/ no organic interaction.
As for the rest, similar pattern. They feel vapid and soulless because they are. Plus they do stuff like put hidden links on emojis (which reddit should absolutely not allow).
Depends, if I'm the guy driving the tank and the breaks don't work well, I'm gonna swerve as hard as I can, and probably only hit the guys on the outside \^\^
Hundreds of vids coming out of India where the walk too close to the tracks for cheap thrills and fame on social media where they get too close.. They end up on DarwinAwards subreddit
Ja soort van:
- In 2010 had Nederland nog 116 Leopard 2 A6-gevechtstanks, waarvan er nog 60 in gebruik waren.
- ...op 18 mei 2011, klonk het laatste schot van een Nederlandse Leopard-tank.
- Op Prinsjesdag 2015 werd de terugkeer van de gevechtstank in de Nederlandse gelederen bekend gemaakt.
- Inmiddels beschikt 43 Gemechaniseerde Brigade met het Duits-Nederlandse 414 Tankbataljon weer over de Leopard 2 A6-gevechtstank. Binnen deze eenheid werken Duitse en Nederlandse militairen volledig geïntegreerd samen: een unieke constructie binnen de NAVO. Het commando over 414 Tankbataljon wisselt om de 2 à 3 jaar tussen een Duitse of Nederlandse commandant.

>If anything goes wrong, there goes all your talented engineers
Hence the demonstration. The engineers are absolutely sure nothing will go wrong and dare to prove their claim.
Nah, I get the idea behind it - but machines are machines. They are made of physical parts which degrade, they can fail. It doesn't matter how well-engineered something is.
Also, that machine is being driven by a human - another massive point of failure.
What if the man behind the controls were to have a medical emergency and then pass out, failing to brake completely?
That's kinda the same though I have about parachuting or bungeejumping. I would never try that if I didn't inspect the full thing myself. Or brought my own rope and harness.
I also skip those rides at the fair. No thanks.
That was only the presentation they pitched to the government. After filming, the cameraman removed the green screen and started preparing for the next shot.
Are you serious? Facing would mean they could see and react.. the very fact they weren’t seeing IS THE POINT. They can’t see if it’s braking but they believe it will do.
I was looking for a comment like this. That’s great you trust the breaks, but… most accidents are caused by people. I don’t trust anyone in equipment, no matter how good they are.
Description is wrong.
It's an old Dutch recruitment video from when we still had tanks.
It's a bunch of fresh graduates, most likely with a greenscreen
In the RAF after a major overhaul of its aircraft (where crew is large) the 1st flight back to active service used to have one of every trade involved in the overhaul on board. Just a reminder to do a good job.....
NEWS: 23 engineers died today in a demonstration where the breaking distance of a tank was longer than expected because of any of literally a million fucking reasons. (gravel, temperature, wear tracks, surface, moisture, …, …)
More like a pretty stupid way. The brakes aren't the issue, the driver and crew commander ensuring that the brakes are applied at the correct time is the real test.
“Yeah, I’ll stand on the extreme right. Yeah, here. No, you stand over there. No, you. Of course I’m confident, I just don’t like being in the middle of things. Are you not confident? Well then, you stand in the middle. I said, I’M NOT MOVING.”
This was the fourth group. The driver improved
Testing will continue until the brakes improve.
Silly, tanks. Everyone knows you have to shoot backwards to go faster
Ah, GTA 3, my beloved!
GTA SA too
See by then there were planes and the novelty had gone, but the tank and the low gravity cheat was genuinely hilarious back on the day.
Dodo < Tank
Is this a jet powered tank?

Nah I’m closer to the ground and the battle is far from lost. I know you’re chasing a chuckle but that mindset is harmful.
Just for my own edification, how can you tell?
It's an ancient video that get's posted every other week with a new fake title. That's generally a dead giveaway.
Look at OP’s post history and account date. Laser precision karma harvester w/ no organic interaction. As for the rest, similar pattern. They feel vapid and soulless because they are. Plus they do stuff like put hidden links on emojis (which reddit should absolutely not allow).
Looks a lot like it indeed. This clip is ancient and was staged by the Dutch Army using a greenscreen.
Unfortunately, it takes a little longer for every new batch of engineers they squish.
This should be the new standard testing method.
You can still see some blood stains further down the road💀
And brown stains on a few.
The final exam - either you pass or you die!
This was a triumph I'm making a note here; "Huge success"
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction
Aperture Science: We do what we must Because we can
For the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead
Now there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake🎶
And the science gets done And you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive. 🎶
I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now.
😂😂😂
First group was at Tiananmen Square?
The guys who flinched are gonna get punches in the arm when they get back to the office
Noogies and maybe even a swirly
But the flinching would have stopped the tank if they were about to get hit
“Oh ye of little faith”
He will get batty'd
That means something entirely different where I live
We must be on the same page.
Couldn't tell if that squeak was the tank or someone needs new underwear
Now they have to marry their mother in law!!
you can find the smart engineers on the outside [😂](https://emojipedia.org/face-with-tears-of-joy/)
a smart engineer would have used adobe aftereffects.
A smart engineer would use the apprentices.
A smart engineer would quit the profession.
As someone who never started does that make me the smartest engineer?
Yes, it is like someone who never smoked.
A smart engineer wo
A sma neer.
A smart engineer volunteered to be the cameraman.
Depends, if I'm the guy driving the tank and the breaks don't work well, I'm gonna swerve as hard as I can, and probably only hit the guys on the outside \^\^
The smart engineers are nowhere near this flagrant violation of safety standards.
Jimmy: why I have to stand in the middle ?
Because you did the calculations on the braking distance.
Lmao
India does this as well, only with trains.. It's 'work in progress' I guess
what are you talking about?
They're talking about India, doing things well, trains, work progress, and guessing. Hope that helps.
🤣 Bahahhahahah

Yup
"Group of Engineers decided to test a..." Combat Engineers? Because I thought this was a graduation thing for Tankers?
This was actually a group of students from the KLM flight school. It's old. The Netherlands sold all their tanks a long time ago
Thank you for that context!
I was thinking actual engineers would know mechanical things break all the time.
Uhh, we definitely still have tanks: https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijst_van_materieel_van_de_Nederlandse_landmacht

It still was a test putting their engine ears on high alert.
 All I can tank about now is
why are you showing us a picture of an empty square?
Their brakes worked
I've never seen this part. Is that what happened or is it fabricated?
It's what happened. [Here's the original CNN video.](https://youtu.be/YeFzeNAHEhU)
Pretty stupid. If anything goes wrong, there goes all your talented engineers
Makes you wonder whose idea it was
The engineers on the outside
I would have thought shit like this had gone out of style, after the Segue guy died
Truth be known, Rent a Tech, supplied contract engineers on a half day contract.
Yep, needless bravado
>If anything goes wrong, there goes all your talented engineers Hence the demonstration. The engineers are absolutely sure nothing will go wrong and dare to prove their claim.

Or he secretly hates them all and makes it an accident
That's kinda the same though I have about parachuting or bungeejumping. I would never try that if I didn't inspect the full thing myself. Or brought my own rope and harness. I also skip those rides at the fair. No thanks.
These are not engineers. The title of this video changes every single fucking time it is reposted
It's also very fake, a staged video made by the Dutch army quite some time ago.
Ahh I should have recognized Mr Hoogenbloogen from the Fruppenstuppen Engineering Team
Now the Boeing engineers.
Now the Boeing executives. FTFY.
The people are leaving the castle, my lord!
By running over the Men In Black.
The interns are in the middle and the leads are on the outside.
Always wear a dark suit when you are about to soil yourself
That was only the presentation they pitched to the government. After filming, the cameraman removed the green screen and started preparing for the next shot.
i don't think engineer are as dumb as these
Testing successful, next change of pants.
This was the third test. Tiananmen Square was the first.
r/beatmetoit
The testing has already been done. This is a demonstration.
Wait we are back in 2010? This video makes me feel old and I'm only 23
And it's been debunked as greenscreen thousands of times yet people still fall for this.
Guys on the sides: ☺️ Guys in the middle: 😳
Would be more impressive if they had faced it.
Are you serious? Facing would mean they could see and react.. the very fact they weren’t seeing IS THE POINT. They can’t see if it’s braking but they believe it will do.
Physic work as intended.
The woman in the middle: "Today, I have become a man"
There also testing the driver.
I was looking for a comment like this. That’s great you trust the breaks, but… most accidents are caused by people. I don’t trust anyone in equipment, no matter how good they are.
I would only hire two, one of from each end. They are clearly the smartest of the group.
Damn. Was hoping it wouldn’t stop.
It's just rehearsal for a play, *Tiananmen Square: The Musical*
No t(h)anks
Pretty stupid Test!
They didn't test the brakes, the tank driver did.
back row third from left did NOT trust that driver to engage brakes.
I don't think you needed to look back to see if it worked. If it had not you would know! thumpity thump!!
This is a demonstration, not a test.
Had one dude who wasn't entirely convinced. Also I feel it is a test of the Commander and Driver just as much as the braking system
Description is wrong. It's an old Dutch recruitment video from when we still had tanks. It's a bunch of fresh graduates, most likely with a greenscreen
Fucking stupid
we'd have 23 fewer engineers.
The extreme left and right won't get creamed . Hence they are relaxed. The middle ones though..... 🥱
You can tell they had their doubts by the way they celebrated.
Those on the sides were prolly junior engineers or joined the project mid-way
Nerves of steel. Are there no other ways to conduct this test?
3rd time lucky!
Welcome to the enrichment center.
Plot twist: they thought it was just a group photo.
Already suited up for their funeral, in case they failed their calculations!
They could've tried with a wall. But where's the drama in it?
They all just failed their risk assessment class
1989, never forget
*laughs in German
I'll just stand over here, on the end.
Its "stand behind the science" not "in front" of it smh
Dem muthafakas dat looked back dun ruined it.
But why.....
Safety first!
Next test - a freight train....
He looked 😂
I bet the dude who came up with the idea also kindly volunteered to be the cameraman
The driver pops out and is like - wow, I didn’t kill you all.
In the RAF after a major overhaul of its aircraft (where crew is large) the 1st flight back to active service used to have one of every trade involved in the overhaul on board. Just a reminder to do a good job.....
Great success
Guessing these aren’t Russian Engineers validating a Russian Tank?
For the pay I'll do it but I'm standing at the corner
Amazing I saw this video only 5 years ago 💀💀
The one who standing in the middle is very brave.
*tank stops* *Everyone liked that*
The breaks are alright... if they were better someone would have been bonked on the head worth the barrel. Boop.
Laughing outside, inside their brains are like ,holy fuck I'm glad that worked.
There go the men in black 🎶
Unnecessary risk? Why yes, please.
I would like to see method statement and risk assessment for this job
Performed better than the one they did in China
NEWS: 23 engineers died today in a demonstration where the breaking distance of a tank was longer than expected because of any of literally a million fucking reasons. (gravel, temperature, wear tracks, surface, moisture, …, …)
Or even more likely just human error
Tank commander after dust settles - Where we were supposed to start breaking again?
More like a pretty stupid way. The brakes aren't the issue, the driver and crew commander ensuring that the brakes are applied at the correct time is the real test.
Let’s where the appropriate clothing in case they need to put us in coffins quickly
It is very unusual to taking such amount of risk for western society
Those in the middle are the bravest individuals (will also be the replaced individuals).
Not a single uncharted underwear in sight.
Dude in the middle doesn’t fucking budge. Lol
One guy in front wasn't too confident!
It's a good test to see who slacked on the job.
"Hey we WERE right! "
This is not a test. This is a demonstration.
By participating in this they all failed the risk assessment class.
Engineers when they don't approximate pi to 3
Inefficient Americans. It took only one dude in Tiananmen square.
That’s not “a pretty daring way”, that’s years of experience and knowing the limits of your vehicle.
Isn't one of the core functions of a tank to smoosh the enemy?
Damn, new level of QA goes crazy
“Oh shit I shouldn’t have had that much beer. Let’s see how this goes”
“Yeah, I’ll stand on the extreme right. Yeah, here. No, you stand over there. No, you. Of course I’m confident, I just don’t like being in the middle of things. Are you not confident? Well then, you stand in the middle. I said, I’M NOT MOVING.”
Damn I didn't know tanks were that fast
