@David McConville Well, issue. How can you fire a tank. When the turret and driver compartment are two separate areas. Sure depending on the model of tank. The driver COULD try to squeeze their way up into the turret. Yet not all have this luxury.
I was in my early 20’s when this happened. Wasn’t the tank driver disgruntled towards his VA treatment or benefits. He was driving the tank to the VA building in Mission Valley.
You also ended up with one of the most odd insurance claims for the vehicles. Can you imagine if they just had one payment to go on the car. I remember seeing it on my tv back then and being glad nobody was hurt or in the car when hit
He was discharged, honorably or not, after 2 years. Everything that happened to him, happened *well* after his military career ended. He made poor choices in his life. The VA isn't there to bail you out if you hurt yourself on a civilian motorcycle unrelated to military service much less years after you start up your own business, or turn to drugs and alcohol. Don't try to make this into the VA failing him, because that is 100% not what happened.
Police dispatcher: “911 what’s your emergency?” Guard: “this is the national guard we just had one of tanks stolen from us!” Police dispatcher: “what?!” The guards’ commanding officer: “WHAT?!?!”

@@galacticbat5224 insurance adjuster here, this would definitely be covered. The real headache on one of these claims would be the subrogation (insurance company trying to recover from the at fault party). Obviously the driver wouldn't have any assets, but I wonder if they tried to pursue the government for not securing the tank properly. 🤔

As someone who works for police, I can only imagine dispatch receiving call from military about stolen vehicle and then giving information to patrols, that it is a tank.
911 operator: 911 what's your emergency? Guard: One of our tanks has been stolen from over here at the armory. 911 operator: Ok but do you know if anyone has been hurt or killed? Guard: I don't know. I don't think so. 911 operator: Sir this is 911. We don't take care of stolen vehicle calls. Something like that, you should talk to the police about & file a report. So go ahead & give them a call. Give them all the information you know including the model & color of the tank that was stolen.
I remember this, I was in high school. The 90s were crazy: Blackhawk Down, N Hollywood shootout, OJ Simpson trial, Clinton gets busted, signs China into NAFTA,.... 2020: hold my mask
I saw this on the news when I was younger. It was interesting and dad, who was active duty at the time, wondered how the police would stop a tank. All the way until it got stuck, he was thinking it'd last until the tank ran out of fuel.
I loved this whole experience. Lived in San Diego at the time in those neighborhoods my uncles friends RV was the one taken out. Across the street from that RV is a school. This was crazy. Story was guy lost everything. He was on his way to downtown SD to the court house with that tank.
The SDPD officer that gained access to the tank was a SSgt who was a reserve at 4th Tank Bn. His dad retired from the Marines as a SgtMaj and very respected man.

it seems like they trust a veteran too much.They doesn't even doubt what he is doing.
@David McConville Well, issue. How can you fire a tank. When the turret and driver compartment are two separate areas. Sure depending on the model of tank. The driver COULD try to squeeze their way up into the turret. Yet not all have this luxury.
I was in my early 20’s when this happened. Wasn’t the tank driver disgruntled towards his VA treatment or benefits. He was driving the tank to the VA building in Mission Valley.
Why steal one when you can make one?

It's legit, I remember seeing the real footage on World's Scariest Police Chases on FOX back in 1996.
You also ended up with one of the most odd insurance claims for the vehicles. Can you imagine if they just had one payment to go on the car. I remember seeing it on my tv back then and being glad nobody was hurt or in the car when hit

This is quite sad for him... a military veteran and he didn’t get any help, but he also stole a tank
Teague O'Hara great story to tell at parties tho
So deep
he was dishonorably discharged, if I remember correctly that means he wouldn't get any benefits or any help... i think
He was discharged, honorably or not, after 2 years. Everything that happened to him, happened *well* after his military career ended. He made poor choices in his life. The VA isn't there to bail you out if you hurt yourself on a civilian motorcycle unrelated to military service much less years after you start up your own business, or turn to drugs and alcohol.
Don't try to make this into the VA failing him, because that is 100% not what happened.
@@medical-cyanide1526 He did receive disciplinary action but he was still honorably discharged
For anyone wondering this is how people become homeless, many weren’t always junkies
Stealing a tank?
??? ¿¿¿ except for the tank part lol
lol
especially veterans left for dead by the country they served for
I took this as the reason people become homeless is because some guy destroys their home with a tank.
Everyone gangsta until some crazy random person with a tank shows up.
Police dispatcher: “911 what’s your emergency?”
Guard: “this is the national guard we just had one of tanks stolen from us!”
Police dispatcher: “what?!”

They’d probably say “sorry but this doesn’t cover tank...”

@@galacticbat5224 insurance adjuster here, this would definitely be covered. The real headache on one of these claims would be the subrogation (insurance company trying to recover from the at fault party). Obviously the driver wouldn't have any assets, but I wonder if they tried to pursue the government for not securing the tank properly. 🤔

GTA was originally cops n robbers a race type game like road rash, a glitch in the code made the police over violent and that's when they got the idea for GTA. 👍🏻 Glad I could educate
@@captus2975 your a joke
Yeah. The player inspired this story by stealing a tank in any Grand Theft Auto games.
I like how there's a five star and the font style is GTA: SA
I don't see any FBI SUV or a swat truck in the video so this should be a 3 star.

I thought Trevor from GTA 5 was a FICTIONAL character.
this is trevor brother,from another mother
There are truly some crazies roaming out there.
Considering this guy and Trevor both had military backgrounds one was a former tank driver in the US army in germany while Trevor was a former airforce pilot
Maybe
I seen the camera footage of the tank driving down the street for the first time tonight, wanted to know more about it. What a sad story wish I didn’t look into it any more.
I actually know this story all too well. I was born on the day this happened AND the tank drove past the hospital I was born in. 😅
Wow the tanks really wants to greet you and I am 9 years old😆
You're lucky you're in San Diego
That’s actually lit, like imagine being born and then there’s a makeshift parade for you

As someone who works for police, I can only imagine dispatch receiving call from military about stolen vehicle and then giving information to patrols, that it is a tank.
Sounds like a great time to radio in a lunch break. 🤣

idk if the killdozer guy counts but that's pretty nuts as well

911 operator: Ok but do you know if anyone has been hurt or killed?
Guard: I don't know. I don't think so.
911 operator: Sir this is 911. We don't take care of stolen vehicle calls. Something like that, you should talk to the police about & file a report. So go ahead & give them a call. Give them all the information you know including the model & color of the tank that was stolen.

I saw this on the news when I was younger. It was interesting and dad, who was active duty at the time, wondered how the police would stop a tank. All the way until it got stuck, he was thinking it'd last until the tank ran out of fuel.
