Gotta crash test giant weiners I guess. If you made a giant weiner wouldn't you want to destructive test it?!? I guess it's what guys at testing facilities do when they are bored.
My favorite is the dump truck hitting the barrier. Must be testing barriers for embassy's or the like. That truck hit's it and stops dead.

The cables are cool unless they hit too high. I've been thinking about that with the cables we have here and my little Miata. The chain link fence shots are pretty good. Takes the top right of one car. Would have taken heads with it I'm sure.

Yeah, it's pretty cool seeing something collapse into nothing against a wall. A 100' long plane becomes 2' of burning trash pretty much instantly.

Was truly a sad sight to see, knowing both the driver and passenger were dead for sure.

Worst I ever drove by was a bicyclist on the freeway just after 5 or 6 cars had run him over.
One word. Parts.
I really just hope I never get hit too hard in my little Miata. Our cars will lose to just about anything. Mass wins in an accident.
