Iraqi mud pits where all the top soil collects and hides the water and will bury a hummer to its windows...
The most stuck I have ever seen is in Saudi when a hummer broke thru the top of a sepka and sank to the door handles. no other wheeled vehicles could pull it out ( 5 ton and 10 ton wrecker never budged it) brought in a M88 tank recovery vehicle and it pulled the tow pindle and frame cross member completly off. Ended up having a Chinook Heavy lift helo lift on it and an M88 pulled the front tow hooks... which brought it out. Thank is my standard for stuck. |
