POWER! When T-72 Turret landed inside your house... you demolish what?

Tskhinvali part of Georgian Russian war of 2008:

Some of the killed T-72 in Central Square of Tskhinvali-

But pay attention to this building (4 storey) front corner (near parked car)

A T-72 turret from a killed tank flu sky high from secondary explosion (internal ammo ignition) and landed inside of the corner of this building.

after cleaning up:

They had to take way part of the building! Not the turret!

Add a new door as well.

Guess WHY?

Because the 4.55 meter T-72 barrel is fucked DEEP inside ground very firmly!

No equipment and money to dig it out. (digging may collapse the 4 storey building)

Power of Russain anti-tank hit!

T-72 MBT is more than 41 tons Fully armed turret + gun & ammo is about 20 tons. Went sky high in a blast and through the roof entered this house. And become a permanent part of the house! That room demolished to cater for the turret!

Best idea is for the owner to rebuild a roof and open a bar with the turret as the center piece of ornament. Call it Tank Turret Bar, one and only in the world!
:D

In this pic you see that metal sheet which was the top roof of the ancillary portion of the 4 storey building which must be 2-3 storey only. The concrete casting floor of the 2nd floor had big hole which the T-72 turret came through. And landed in middle of the sort of front porch area.

The remains of the rest of that killed T-72 are those wreckage in the foreground of the following pic. No much of it left after secondary explosion.

Note also of the huge blast crater in between the killed tanks, I think that was where that T-72 was originally. After the big bang bits of it went everywhere. Not much is left of a 41 ton main battle tanks. :)
