Not to mention the K-rail hung the tank up - the treads had nothing to grab too, IIRC, so SDPD and CHP assaulted the tank, opened the turret cover and fired at will.
The thing might be with the K-rail is it is structurally more sound from the top than the sides, which was why a tractor-trailer could crash through it, but an Abrahms M1 could not crush the K-rail.
