A British military vehicle swerved off a road

Must have been that pesky snap oversteer.

Back in the day a friend told me a tale of his service in W Germany in the U.S Army. He was in when the Abrams tank was new and they had just taken delivery of brand new M1s. The Batt CO had a platoon go swanning about as close to the E German border as they could get to 'show them off' to the other side. Well a couple got bogged and they needed recovery so my buddy headed off with his tank recovery vehicle to get them back. They had been roused from slumber in god awful weather and ended up driving down some very slippery roads near dawn through sleepy little villages. Rounding a sloping turn the vehicle slid off the road and right through a house. My friend was the driver and the last thing he saw as they fell through the floor into the cellar was that they had crashed through the bedroom wall and inside Dad was playing hide the sausage with Mom. They both had a look of horror on their faces as everything was crashing into the cellar but never stopped going at it as bed, floor, masonry and tank RV ended up in a big heap.

No casualties thank goodness. The Div engineers descended on the town and completely rebuilt the couples' home in a weekend and payed out a hunk of change to smooth things over.
