Great video on that attempted armored car robbery in South Africa
Pretty cool chat with the driver of that armored car video.

Cool video, thanks for posting. I understood the guy, but my wife would have thought that he was speaking a foreign language. That's a hefty accent.

Pray for the poor people of South Africa. Anarchy is ugly.

Unresponsive government and endemic corruption isn't fixed by prayer.

Very cool video. Since I used to be involved in armor design and integration, I really liked the second part. That windshield had impressive multi-hit performance, but I would not be surprised if the impact conditions were below spec requirements. And kudos to the guy for truly standing/sitting behind his product.

I am really really happy to NOT be in any business that needs a bullet proof vehicle. It is great the good guys won this one. They need some remote guns to shoot back.

Too bad their are a lot of people NOT in a business that needs armored protection that need it nonetheless.
