Accidents happen. When they happen with a Merkava main battle tank, it's usually kind of a big deal.

There's an old saying in life that goes a little like this: "Shit happens." Unfortunately, when "shit happens" with a main battle tank, it tends to put you a little bit deeper than your knees.

Seconds before this mistake happens, one of the filming soldiers can be heard asking if he should be filming them loading the Merkava main battle tank on the back of a trailer. Another soldier responds "You never know what could happen with these situations." Then, chaos ensues.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in this video.
