#6  Been bugging me at odd moments for months that I can't find this viral-ish bit of video from a few years back: curious citizens exploring non-tank armored thingy abandoned on city street trigger autocannon, hitting building across intersection with a round or two, whereupon an old person shuffles out of doorway beneath point of impact looking more or less unhurt. Mariupol, maybe? Anyone?

Slavyansk, I think
