A Former Green Beret Gives His Take On A Recent Viral Video Of An Insane Armored Truck Heist

 

Task & Purpose: A former Green Beret breaks down that viral video of an insane armored truck heist 

A massively viral video shows a pair of security guards driving an armored cash-in-transit truck in Pretoria, South Africa, when they are suddenly ambushed by armed robbers on a highway. 

The entire encounter, from start to finish, was caught on the dashboard camera from inside their Toyota Land Cruiser. You see the guards’ reactions as the chase intensifies — the furtive looks to the side and rearview mirrors, the way one of the guards readies his partner’s rifle as he clutches his pistol in his other hand. The camera catches the moment their bulletproof windows become pockmarked by incoming rounds, like a high-caliber Jackson Pollock painting on polycarbonate. You hear everything they hear, from the ‘crack’ of incoming fire and the combination ‘smack-splatter’ of rounds impacting the windows to the low rumble of engines and the ‘thud’ as the would-be robbers’ car collides with the side of the armored truck. And the video keeps rolling as the attempted robbery concludes with one of the guards exiting his armored truck, rifle in hand, to lay in wait for their attackers. Miraculously, both guards came through the incident unharmed.

WNU Editor: I have already watched this video three times. It is a must see. The comment thread to the above video is also a fun read. 

On a side note. I love his take on this attempted armored truck ("The Officer Tatum". See below).
