A lot of surface area to catch the shockwave though. It's the same reason that semi-trucks are more likely to be blown over by high winds even than cars despite weighing much more.
Now if something like a tank were blown over, then I'd be impressed.
- jacquesm 6y agoThat's a good point, if the tram was broadside to the explosion that might have just done the trick. Even so a tram is pretty compact and solid compared to a truck, semis have low density when empty, the tractor/trailer combination is more like huge sail attached to a relatively light frame. When they're loaded it's a different matter. There was a movie a while ago of trailers like that being tossed around by a tornado but they were all empty.
