Here’s what happens when you leave a tank parked on a busy street
The Ukrainian army apparently left this fully gassed-up tank on a street near Mariupol. Naturally, people got curious — and then they got handsy. Not content with gawking at the outside of the tank, they started crawling inside, and inevitably, someone managed to fire off the still-loaded cannon. Abandoned tanks: All fun and games until someone loses a torso.
By a stroke of luck, nobody got hit; the man you see being assisted at around 1:45 was smacked by a brick flying off the busted wall. So hey, if you see a tank lying around, go ahead and shoot it, probably! Everything will be fine I guess!
