8/26/2003: Iraqi truck of gold

mitheral · 08-27-2003, 09:48 AM

There's another image on the linked story page that shows the outside of the truck, so it's defenitly a tanker truck. I'm still skeptical the bricks are pure gold. Judging the size of the tank from the outside picture it appears to be about 1/5th full and as Jaxxon says that'd wildly over load the truck.

However the soldiers moving the gold seem to be really struggling with each brick. Which they should considering a 1 litre(~1 quart) milk jug sized brick would weigh about 20 kilos
