Default Vehicle Barriers..... Do they work?

How many times have you wondered how strong those cement barriers
were that you see in front of military base entrances???? (its always been on my mind!)
These barriers will stop traffic, even trucks, from approaching the secure building.In this test, the following parameters were used:-

Truck = 65,000 lbs.
Speed = 50 mph
Kinetic Energy = 5.5 MILLION ft. lbs.
Stopped in 24 INCHES !!!

VehicleBarrier.flv - Video - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

(i know its a pointless thread but i thought it was worth a look)
