Appearances can be deceiving.

Is the engine compartment empty in these tests? I'm looking for the engine block in some of them and it just seems like the whole thing vaporizes

Possibly. If you can see a tow rope, it might have been removed. A bunch are running under their own power, though.

Finally! I saw what happens to the green truck.

I fly over a testing facility they use to do these tests all the time. Seen some cool stuff happen live!

Are you near Texas A&M by any chance? That's where many of these took place.

I can neither confirm nor deny the location of my flights.

Same energy

@WorldBollard a highlight reel for you
