I see Nelson as someone who wanted to be a Tank driver again. It seems like he enjoyed that livelihood and wanted to go back in time and relive the gold ol’ days.
It's not hard to believe that he was able to steal that tank. It's amazing how far confidence will take you. If you look like you belong somewhere its in human nature not to interfere Especially if you have a little bit of know how to go along with your confidence like the man who stole that tank did being a former operator.
Ah,thank you Simple History for mentioning the tank rampage and for mentioning real-life GTA moments. In GTA 5 it was insanely fun rampaging with the Rhino tank and slaughtering policemen left and right.
@shawnstafford7809 If you are in it’s path than it’s definitely not fun, although seeing a tank casually drive by being chased by the police? Certainly an interesting start to your day.
I was a junior in high school when it happened. I remember watching it on every channel on the TV like it was yesterday. VERY ACCURATE description of what happened.
Swat teams, i don't understand why they use military camo. They should have ranger green, or OD Green color bdu pants, bdu top, and helmet. With coyote brown, or brown color plate carrier, and web gear. Along with brown in color military boots.
The prison scene @42:30 is reminiscent of a legit race riot that took off between black & white inmates. The space betwen the steps and the pole was ground zero. _Kinda sketchy to see it in a "Cartoon'"_ 😮
Probably a better video structure if the Yakuza break down came before the Yakuza incident segment. And we all scratched our heads at that twenty seconds police ambiance at 1:15:00
Next time when I go to steal a tank I'll make sure it has the latest fire-control system, laser rangefinder, battlefield management software, upgraded armor and is fully loaded with fuel, ammunition as well as weeks' worth of food and water rations. The video was very informative.
I totally understand why Nelson did what he did. Probably had a couple screws loose, and got poked too many times. People are always shocked at the reactions but you push a man to his limits, he's liable to lash out.
The turret was actually reversed, it was stowed like that. It’s the only mistake that Simple History made in the tank rampage video: incorrect turret facing.
The first part of this video is still possible on most bases today. Might need a bolt cutter for the vehicles that have the wheels chained and locked, but otherwise you're good. They keep the bolt cutters secured very well so you're unlikely to find one laying around the armory grounds
Prisonweapons bonus extra: Hudson County jail, NJ: one guy had two double icepics, full tang, slip proof handles, magnet in each handle for better hiding. During quality testing the single icepic version bent, so two icepics seperated by a few millimeters of space was quality tested and passed with flying colors(no pun intended).
Now a days we use the “interview” stance or technique. Feet approximately shoulder width apart, off hand foot slightly forward. When speaking with a possible suspect, you stand with hands folded lightly, offhand on top. You can literally push your weapon hand down for the first step of the draw. When shooting, both thumbs should touch creating a “ baby’s bottom. Off hand fingers wrapped around strong hand push lightly with strong hand and pull lightly with off hand in a firm “handshake” pressure. Off hand fingers need to wrap around strong hand. All of them. No fingers on front of trigger guard. I went through several Glock shooting schools as a LE firearms instructor. The Marine Corps taught none of that.
Simple history can you do a video on the Army soldier that was awarded the Congressional Medal Honor and his video of him receiving the award was used in Forrest Gump. They superimposed Tom Hanks over him. The guy has a pretty interesting story. It's not Roy Benavides' level of badassery but close.
Woulda been easier to take the tank when there wasn’t guard units on duty; and he might have got away with it if he wasn’t being a tool; rampaging! This guy is no Marvin with a komatsu.
Tank in San Diego 1995 is it just two years later Jurassic Park did the same thing with a Tyrannosaurus rex I don’t know why I am saying this, but it’s nothing related. Well, at least there was a chase … now I feel stupid
I just can't help but imagine being the poor 991 operator or whomever it was that got this call, "Hey uh.. *Clears throat* I'm a guard at the local military base and uh.. Well.. we kinda had one of our tanks stolen.. It's heading into town, better get on that"
tank average cost 10 million dollars.just starts by sitting on it and pressing a button. my second hand bike, 150 dollars, would require you to cut thru a metal ring lock on the back wheel, and a chain. military intelligence...
yeah I figured the person who stole a tank was on meth, I have seen more than one meth head, I used to live in eastern KY, you think your average wall marts has a lot of meth heads, in KY you could barely even walk across the street without spoting a meth head, one time at like 2 am some meth heads blew up a meth lab not even a mile down the road from where I lived, yeah one day there is and old cottage (yeah it was probably from the early 1800s or maybe late 1700s but had been abandoned for decades) and the next day its a pile of smoldering rubble...
Started on topic, but as the video goes on it just gets further and further off topic... your videos used to be good, but you guys are going massively downhill in terms of quality...
It being a NG armory explains how easy he was able to take the take. They probably thought he was one of them. Also, they are t going to care enough to actively pay attention to what people are doing.

Wouldn’t Nelson be designated as a terrorist from his dangerous destructive antics?
Only if he had done so to make a political statement or serve some other political end. I think he was just drunk and high on meth.
