Armoured Truck Extrication (Brinks)

[WFDRESCUE]

Has anyone had a armoured truck in a rollover or a collision
and the people trapped in the truck? What did you do to get them out?...

This topic has been debated previously, and the BEST method of gaining access is with a key provided by the owner. Other methods will be slow and possibly unsucessful.

Wow. Thats something I never thought of before. I guess an RPG is out of the question. What about the underside of the truck? Are the bottoms as armored as the top and sides? Perhaps cutting through the floor if it is on it's side or upside would work??

My understanding is the floors are armoured also. They are reinforced to be able to take the extra weight of the $afe$ and $afe content$;)

As bigrig aslo said, somewhere in the archives of these forums, this has been discussed and debated a hell of a lot! Have a quick search through- you may find the answers you're after....

The armored cars I've seen locally seem to have cylindrical locks in all the doors. I've not gotten close enough to see if those cylinders could be pulled with a K or A tool, but was wondering about that. If so, could it be treated like forcing any other metal door with through the lock methods?

For our purposes,think of armored cars as big safes on big tires.What's their job description?Carry copious amounts of cash from safe to safe.And how are you going to do that?With a bigger safe!Capice? T.C.
