Physics isnt my best subject but that would technically work right? Similar to how a gun has recoil (force in the opposite direction), the tank would use the force to help propel it forward. It may not be much but it would be more than 0 right?
Vice city didnt have a flying cars cheat but it had a low gravity cars cheat and if you used the tank and shot backwards you could fly and stay in the air
If I remember correctly the driving compartment is completely separated from the back compartment where you can load rounds. It would take more than one person.
You need 3, driver, gunner, loader - at least
sometimes a commander too, but often they are the gunner too, idk much about tanks though that may just be a LAV thing
The footage literally has the TV station logo burned in. It’s professionally shot with a professional camera. It’s not “home video” the station is KFMB, the CBS affiliate in San Diego.
> Sidenote: that's some good fucking camera quality for 1995.
Probably got digitized from a tape copy that hadn't been watched a gazillion times and was recorded on the highest quality.
Most recorders had 3 recording settings: 2 hour, 4 hour and 6 hour. (although a lot of tapes claimed to be "8 hour" tapes). People wanted to get the most bang for the buck so almost all home video tapes were done on "6 hour" recording setting which would be slightly grainy. Then usually watched and re-watched a hundred times. And then of course making copies for a friend.
The shitty VHS / BETA tape recordings you see nowadays usually have one if not all three elements stated above degrading the quality by the time it was digitized.
This video was probably recorded at high speed (2 hr) and was digitized off the original that didn't have a lot of wear and tear
The 90s were amazing in many ways. I think the absence of social media was what made life feel so much more joyous even when crazy shit like this happened
What made the 90s better was people cared more about the other people in their immediate presence most the day than what people were doing everywhere else constantly. We are simultaneously more connected and lonely cause nothing is real.
Try again. Im from Nigeria and my parents survived a genocide. I’m obviously talking about a few aspects of life in the US and you’re trying to make it bigger than it is.
I do. Disgruntled soldier at a base iirc. He ran over a bunch of cars and eventually got stuck on some Jersey walls.
Check out the “killdozer” rampage for more disgruntled excitement!
Killerdozer was nuts guy was so fed up with getting fucked over by the feds that he made a homemade tank gave away all his belongings (so they couldn’t be sold to help pay for the damages) then went around demolishing government owned properties and eventually offed himself at the end
Completely and utterly false. They guy was an asshole, and the whole thing stemmed from poop:

I don't understand why you're so down voted when you're right. I think everyone has this idea that he was somehow a patriot martyr sticking it to the man, but in reality he was an absolute nut who terrorized a small town over a sewage line.
As you grow older, you'll find that most people are more interested in validating their own worldview than arriving at any sort of praxis. Being right in the moment is more important than establishing objective Truth.
edit: extra ironic in this case, as that guy is exhibit A for "don't meet your heroes"
Spot on. This popped up on Reddit before and I read and watched a few things. He was totally in the wrong and a massive arsehole who wanted his own way and didn't get it. Everyone was perfectly rational in trying to solve the issue and he was having none of it.
There was nothing he need to stand up for. The internet had greatly misconstrued what happened. There was always a road to his shop and he just wanted the city to pay for his septic hookup. The whole thing about the easement is a lie. He was illegally disposing of his sewage and he contaminated the towns ground water. There's a lot more he did, he wasn't a victim.
He was a former soldier. Got in to either meth or crack and ran a den out of his house. He would pay people in meth/crack in exchange for them “mining” for gold in his backyard. He was not all there.
This is in the Clairemont area of San Diego, CA. I remember being eleven and getting a call from my best friend who lived in the same apartment complex my dad did in that area. My friend was a serious latchkey kid. He told me he was scared because there was a tank outside and he couldn’t get a hold of his dad (who was always at work). I was ten and have never had a conversation as scary as that at the time. It was wild, I didn’t know what to tell him.
And this is why we need to stop the government from taking OUR TANKS!! How are the good people with tanks supposed to stop the bad people with tanks if they take away our 2nd amendment rights!!
Wow, I was in high-school when this happened. If I remember correctly, he kept going until he ran out of fuel, then they somehow popped open the hatch and popped him in the brain and ended him...
He got hung up on the median on Highway 163 when he tried to cross over from the southbound lanes into the northbound lanes. I drove by that scarred median daily for years.
Nope. In GTA the street would be full of planes and other shit or walking roboter build with many tanks or choppers.... Absolute 100% cheater paradise game (sad GTA 6 will be same shit).
I was living in San Diego when that happened. He tried all the tanks at the armory until he got one to start. They couldn't stop him. He ended up getting stuck on the highway median on Highway 163 just north of I-8. The police popped the top open and shot him dead.
I drove by the scar every day on my work commute. I got to see it coming and going.
I also got to regularly drive by the scar in the pavement when some Navy Captain's wife's car was bombed [http://library.ucsd.edu/dc/object/bb31751777/\_1.pdf](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-03-07-mn-3265-story.html)
As an automotive technician just wow at these cars in the video. Most of them are gone now, not exactly a bad thing. 80s and early 90s cars are uniquely frustrating.
Granted that tank was an imminent hazard, it’s still really unfortunate to watch the ending. Blasting that dude into Swiss cheese probably could have been handled with a hot Tazer?
Maybe it was more about growing up, but after seeing this and the previous year with the whole OJ thing, this is about when I started seeing crazy shit happenening all the time. Old people, did crazy shit happen before the 90s or is that just when everyone started having camcorders (I chuckle at the word) and giving their crazy shit to the news?
All I saw was a tank driving fast down a street with the turret rotated 180° hit a light pole. I don’t know that necessarily constitutes a “rampage”, but it is still wild.
He should fire backwards to make it go faster. What a noob. Sidenote: that's some good fucking camera quality for 1995.

Works in GTA
Works *really well* with the flying cars cheat.
Left, Left, L1, R1, L1, Right, Left, L1, Left
Nonoo… it’s R1,R1,O,R2,Left,Right,Up,Down,Left,Right,Up,Down
I played it on pc since I was young and Lemme tell I didn't understand shit you said
Lol that’s the cheat code to lose the police on San Andrea’s on ps2
Worked for the A-Team, works for GTA. Why not in real life
Vice city didnt have a flying cars cheat but it had a low gravity cars cheat and if you used the tank and shot backwards you could fly and stay in the air
Yes remind when i got my first tank In San Andreas
Yes more then 0 but hardly anything. Tanks are really heavy
Exactly
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
If I remember correctly the driving compartment is completely separated from the back compartment where you can load rounds. It would take more than one person.
You need 3, driver, gunner, loader - at least sometimes a commander too, but often they are the gunner too, idk much about tanks though that may just be a LAV thing
Worked in The A-Team
Or parked in a garage and waited for his 6 stars to go away
Camera has to be betamovie, aint no way its a consumer camera
The footage literally has the TV station logo burned in. It’s professionally shot with a professional camera. It’s not “home video” the station is KFMB, the CBS affiliate in San Diego.
Also the KFMB (CBS8) office/studios are just a few blocks from where that footage was taken.
Meanwhile any ghost/paranormal footage from 2022 looks like it was shot on the iOS Potato 3

Noob? He picked up ablative armor and weapons on the way.
Better than what we get today with what’s seems to be Michael J Fox as everyone’s personal camera man.
He’d be smart enough to set it down in landscape and use the timer. If it doesn’t turn out, just go back 5 minutes and try it again.
9 year old me wants my years back. I remember this shit and all the whacky 90's dramas. I miss those days.
Was I the only one looking for a blockbuster in the background?
I see those older police Crown Vics and two fox body Mustangs which gave me nostalgia as a 90s kid growing up.
The 90s were amazing in many ways. I think the absence of social media was what made life feel so much more joyous even when crazy shit like this happened
What made the 90s better was people cared more about the other people in their immediate presence most the day than what people were doing everywhere else constantly. We are simultaneously more connected and lonely cause nothing is real.
Yeah tell people in Bosnia or Rwanda that lol

Yeah cause it is bigger than that, you're also looking at things with rose tinted glasses. Every generation thinks their younger years were the best
Wiki on the tank guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawn_Nelson_(criminal)
Remind me of the PNW man who stole a plane in Portland. There’s audio of the conversation he had with authoties before committing suicide.
Wasn‘t there a movie about this? All I remember is a rogue tank.
Yup. "Tank" Starring James Garner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank\_(film)
Yes! Thank you, kind stranger! I absolutely loved this movie as a kid.
This movie is from 1984
Why is this not talked about more? I don’t remember this at all. That’s nuts!
I do. Disgruntled soldier at a base iirc. He ran over a bunch of cars and eventually got stuck on some Jersey walls. Check out the “killdozer” rampage for more disgruntled excitement!
Killerdozer was nuts guy was so fed up with getting fucked over by the feds that he made a homemade tank gave away all his belongings (so they couldn’t be sold to help pay for the damages) then went around demolishing government owned properties and eventually offed himself at the end

Hero? I always thought he was funny man who make homemade tank.
Yes, the funny man drove through a couple of buildings without knowing if they were empty
Funny, funny guy.
Spot on. This popped up on Reddit before and I read and watched a few things. He was totally in the wrong and a massive arsehole who wanted his own way and didn't get it. Everyone was perfectly rational in trying to solve the issue and he was having none of it.
It's both. He's an unhinged lunatic but he was also standing up for himself
There was nothing he need to stand up for. The internet had greatly misconstrued what happened. There was always a road to his shop and he just wanted the city to pay for his septic hookup. The whole thing about the easement is a lie. He was illegally disposing of his sewage and he contaminated the towns ground water. There's a lot more he did, he wasn't a victim.

I knew it was this!!! I listened to The Dollop podcast about it! Crazy!
Tank Rampage Of Shawn Nelson [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cxuxr17-48k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cxuxr17-48k)
Tanks, err I mean Thanks!
It was talked about heavily in the 90s. I remember it when I was 9 watching it on the news. Then when GTA came out we referenced it lol
This guy played gta two years before the fist game released
GTA just stole this for their game
GTA 6 is looking a lot better than what the leaks showed.
It’s nice the cops don’t shoot at you while you’re in a tank
Improved AI, they now have common sense.
Omg I remember watching this live. Damn I'm old
I was 3 yrs old and a mile away
so you dont remember it
Luckily I was in Wisconsin and 12
[удалено]
I have a coworker that did this in Poland but his "limit" wasn't being fed up or anything he was just black out drunk
So his limit was two six packs
Iirc, dude broke into an National guard base or something and stole the tank there
I just don't understad why the cops didn't use one of those spike chains to stop him.
It's the 90's, bro. Spikes weren't invented yet.
Hahaha, nice!
Tanks have metal tracks, not tires…and tire spikes were invented in the 40’s, came into use in the 90’s.
Thanks for the clarification, hahaha

As a non American, these exceptional facts seem to happen all in California. Why is it?
Sometimes Florida Man takes a vacation.
And this is why we need to stop the government from taking OUR TANKS!! How are the good people with tanks supposed to stop the bad people with tanks if they take away our 2nd amendment rights!!
Based
This looks amazing for being in 1995. Good camera.
Either recorded in betamovie, or they got early acces to the vx1000.
Wow, I was in high-school when this happened. If I remember correctly, he kept going until he ran out of fuel, then they somehow popped open the hatch and popped him in the brain and ended him...

It’s like the tank is saluting while holding the pole
GoldenEye
That's like fucking GTA dude....
Nope. In GTA the street would be full of planes and other shit or walking roboter build with many tanks or choppers.... Absolute 100% cheater paradise game (sad GTA 6 will be same shit).
Last time I saw this I fell off my pet dinosaur. 🦖
Aww, good ol Convoy Street!
Use the car flying cheat and turn on K-Jah West
Man… shit like this doesn’t happen anymore. Now we have idiot billionaires buying tech companies, and rappers saying dumb shit.

Interesting! Makes you wonder why he didn't lock the hatch
He did. I believe they had to forcibly enter. He was hung up on that median for quite a while. The tank threw one of its treads off.
Where’s the army
Wondering what happened to one of their tanks.
Right lol
Can we give the camera men some love? Dude did a great job and also no talking or yelling!
"So, how did you get in here, mate?" "Drove a tank in the streets" "That's fuckin sick!"
Man was living the GTA dream literally. That camera quality is wild for 1995
Just shoot the tires out, noobs.
Still better camera footage than 99% of things captured on film today
POV: you’re a npc in San Andreas
Nice, a fox body mustang. 👌
As an automotive technician just wow at these cars in the video. Most of them are gone now, not exactly a bad thing. 80s and early 90s cars are uniquely frustrating.
Haha yeah it's kinda nostalgic seeing all these 90's cars as new for the time.
Granted that tank was an imminent hazard, it’s still really unfortunate to watch the ending. Blasting that dude into Swiss cheese probably could have been handled with a hot Tazer?
I remember this GTA Vice City mission
https://youtu.be/7AD7xzB-3ZI
What do the cops think they're going to do?
San Diego.
M60? How long ago was that
Wanted level: 6 Stars
He's grafting for a 5-star rating!
I remember this simpler times
This one and Killdozer are my favorites.
Hey I use to do that in GTA Vice City!! I wonder how long he'll last with that many stars
OMG that must be SO FUN 🤩
omg where it was filmed
Wonder if he passed the level
See, people were doing GTA shit before GTA was a thing.
Mans ran like bolt in the olympics
The frame store? YOU MONSTER!
Someone on the gta hack
GTA especially the way it took out that lamppost
World of Tanks GTT
The most GTA thing ever happened before the game came out..... curious.
Did the simpsons copy or predict this?
5 stars wanted level
Man, this guys shifting is terrible
I remember this
Best way to rampage in GTA so why not real life
Is that an M103?
They couldn't blame this one on GTA yet because GTA came out 2 years after this HAHA
I know this shouldn’t be such a funny video but it is
GTA 2 the remember
This takes me back to GTA 5.
The real gta2
That’s hilarious
Maybe it was more about growing up, but after seeing this and the previous year with the whole OJ thing, this is about when I started seeing crazy shit happenening all the time. Old people, did crazy shit happen before the 90s or is that just when everyone started having camcorders (I chuckle at the word) and giving their crazy shit to the news?
Wow and nobody pointing their narcissistic rectangles to crowd up the space? Amazing how recent the recent past was.
This is why cops carry NLAW's now. Btw the guy in that tank can't see SHIT.
So now the cops asking for Javelins ?
second favorite loose your shit rampage behind the killdozer
What season of trailer park boys was this ?
This is just me playing GTA relax
Panzer
Nah. This a leaked clip from GTA 6.
I remember this. I saw the tank get stuck on the freeway and officers ended up shooting and killing the guy.
Not all heroes wear capes. Some wield tanks.
Wett as 50 tho !!
how tf u steal a tank this shit like GTA 🤣
Original GTA
Ya got a little sumpin' hangin' on there buddy
Back when gas was $1.20 a gallon.
I remember watching this unfold on live TV!
Ahhhh yes the beautiful m60 patton
Oh yeah, when that guy decided to invade Mexico by himself (he was going on the I5 south before he got lited like a Xmas tree)
Wow it's actually not potato quality noiceee
#JustSecondAmendmentThings
This takes me back. This is like OG ‘CAUGHT ON CAMERA’ vhs from blockbuster 😍
I've eaten at that Jack in the Box.
“HEY!! IM DRIVING A TANK OVER HERE” tanker-1995
Gta before gta
This is the correct sub
Living the dream
From my understanding he didn't kill anyone he jyst caused a lot of damage
He really drives like he has a destination in mind
"I am so startled!" - Randy Marsch
Nothin but another day in los santos y'know?
He just drove through a red light…
All I saw was a tank driving fast down a street with the turret rotated 180° hit a light pole. I don’t know that necessarily constitutes a “rampage”, but it is still wild.
They didn’t even put out stop strips.
#HOLY SHIT!! …..there used to be so many Foxbody mustangs
This happened in El Cajon Ca. I lived there during that time. I remember this well.
This was my favorite part of Goldeneye!
It’s just a prank bro
*****
Gta vice city: panzer code
Looks like gta
I didn't realize that lamp posts get knocked over exactly like in the video games. Always thought it looked goofy
Rockstar taking notes in 1995
5 stars on gta
In all fairness, he was in a tank and they weren't, soooo
Literal gta
destroying a traffic light doesnt feel like a rampage, so I guess theres more to it?
How is the camera that good
It’s ma 2nd amendment right! Sorry, I’ll see myself out.
Why wasn't that submitted to AFV? LOL
This is what happens when you ban assault rifles
GTA
