At dusk of Wednesday, May 17, 1995 Tank driver, Shawn Nelson, drove his car to the National Guard Armory in Kearny Mesa. After crossing a ... all » fence, and several attempts, he finally used a crowbar to break into a M-60 Patton (57 ton) tank. He was then noticed by a Guardsman, but was not stopped in time.

The chace ends when Officer Paul Paxton, a sergeant major in the Marine Reserves, cut open the hatch with bolt cutters. The officers ordered Nelson to surrender, but he said nothing and began lurching the tank back and forth in attempt to free it from the median. Afraid Nelson would free the tank and that the four officers would be thrown off, one of them fatally shot him.

  • Imagine if he grabbed ammo and took off the thing holding the cannon in place. Then it would be crazy ass tank rampage.

  • that's a bad ass tank, it just rolls right over cars lol, but they were mostly shitty tin foil 80's and 90's cars...

  • Police cannot control it If the guy in the Tank has Commander Loader and Gunner
