Tank Almost Runs Over Cameraman

A replica World War One British Mark IV tank is loaded onto a low-loader truck and almost gets the cameraman who beats a hasty retreat while filming the vehicle.

Filmed on the Wellington (New Zealand) waterfront in 2003 as the tank was on its way to participate in an airshow in the South Island.

Wow, he could have stood on the platform up the whole time, but that would mean he would be smarter than he obviously is.

I wish I could take that to prom instead of that dumb limo.

[remixnick]

that cameraman should have moved his ass long before, don't know why he was just hanging around, not even filming it just before he nearly got hit.

@silver760 looking at bovington site it appears there are two working originals as you say, although they dont make it easy to see what tanks they have that work. the ww1 runners are a mk v male and a mk iv male. with any luck they will be given a run at tankfest this year which ill be dragging the missus to. hhe.
