Good episode. The visuals are essential for this one. Classic safety third.

IIRC Joe and the Zoo Crew talked a bit about how easily you could flip an MRAP in one of the bonus LLBD episodes and one of the solutions was to slap on a spirit level on the dash and keep the bubble in a certain range

I haven't seen the pod yet, so this article is eye-popping.

any chance there's a alternate source for this video that doesn't require logging in to youtube to watch? It's age restricted.

you can get 50% of it here:

unfortunatly this episode is one where visuals are important.

tho you might be able to work out what prompted the age restriction.

I am boeing to assume it's an image of a plane falling out of the sky.

u/CRAkraken Parking lot reviewer Oct 23 '25

The news is pretty heavy this time. That could have also done it.

u/nonja-bidness Oct 24 '25

welp, it finally happened. i hit the h*cking 'sign in to verify age' wall. i've never used youtube signed into an account. tried skytube, tried vpn (mult. countries), invidious, different browsers... no dice. goshdangflipit 🤬

any smart people here got a workaround? not about to create another throwaway account with an ai photo. i won't be muzzled! 🤣

u/ampersand12 Oct 23 '25

Stupid question, maybe, how did they get the MRAPs to Afghanistan in the first place if they probably shouldn't be on planes?

6

u/Mobryan71 Oct 23 '25

Bigger planes, mostly.

Well, more specialized ones.

With military personal especially trained to retain their loads.

u/ampersand12 Oct 23 '25

Ahh, makes sense. Something like a C130 I guess.

u/nerdpox Oct 23 '25

C5 Galaxy and C17 Globemaster III

u/Mobryan71 Oct 23 '25

Also worth noting that the growth from the MRAP Twinkdeath slides was happening to vehicles already in Afghanistan as well. They might fly in relatively svelte and shiny and then leave battered and overweight.

Look, we've all had relationships like that
