That’s exactly the type of machinery I want the sign put on. Ours is big enough to cut train tires though
There's another study that says this is 200% more likely to occur with cyclists.
Early warning signs are spandex shorts and riding in traffic.
I will admit. It took me several seconds to figure just what the hell was going on here.
Had a fraternity brother have this happen to him while hang gliding in the mid-70's. Jumped of Sandia Peak in ABQ and and got sucked up into an anvil and either froze to death or suffocated. Found his body in Rio Rancho.
Now imagine if we would of had 10MM back then
Holes would be smaller.
the caption makes it seem like the 45 made those pocks, likely 20mm or other artillery
My gap bed Le blonde has about a 30ish inch swing with the bad extended out. How big is a railroad Tire?

Those were 5” destroyer rounds. When things were starting to get really messy on Omaha Beach, a couple of destroyer captains completely disobeyed orders and risked tearing the bottoms out of their ships in order to get in close and get their guns on target. Some of them were just 2 to 300 yards from the beach and couldn’t miss. It helped tip the balance.
If I remember right one cruiser captain actually flooded one whole side of his ship, allowing his guns to depress enough to hit the beaches.
That said if someone wants to say it’s a 45, who am I to argue.

Rode it like you stole it…. ‘Cept Homey don’t know how to ride!
FMJ .45 expands immediately upon exiting the bore and creates holes as large as one inch.
Made the top of Pike’s peak today! 14k+
Twin carbs didn’t miss a beat, despite being tuned and jetted at 600 feet!
Cheers!!

After .45 creates the path.
I think you guys are all missing the point, none of them penetrated
New they are 28” and change diameter, condemning limit is 26”. In that pic the 4 shiny steel hydraulic rollers lift the train axles up a few inches on the flange and turn the tires. Then a tungsten bit is raised and located to each individual tire. The cut is started on the outside and traces a pattern automatically so the cuts are always the same. Then the rollers are repositioned onto the flat so the flange can be cut. This machine is really old and very very dangerous if you don’t pay absolute attention
That Arctic Circle sticker is cool as shit
That was obviously before holla points were perfected
