Pity the author of that piece doesn't know the difference between "break" and "brake"...

Seriously, the amount of readers that correct the journalists spelling on a daily basis is ridiculous.
Words that even a spell checker should pick up on.

Definitely one of my pet hates when journalists can't friggen spell correctly, or mess up on grammar. It's their damned job

I keep an eye on two news feeds that occasionally post the same articles. The difference is that one of them makes easy to read / understand titles with little to no mistakes in the content. The other is an absolute pain in the ass for it but does report on different news. The killer is that the worse of the two has been established for longer and is a larger company...

I have no doubts it was obviously tested before the video, even if it was to make sure the gun barrel didn't wipe a few of them out, but yes, very impressive all the same.
Would've been more fun if the tank had jumped over them though, using a few bricks and scaffolding planks.  :lol
