Great moments in military marketing, vol.1

Lockheed designs light tactical vehicle, Lockheed invites journalists… light tactical vehicle flips over with journalist:

After the interviews, reporters were invited to take the vehicle for a test drive on the cross-country track. News 10 Now reporter Neil St. Clair was third to go behind the driver seat, with one of our photographers in the passenger seat and a Lockheed Martin test driver in the back. As Neil came off a hill and rounded a curve, the test drive went terribly wrong. The truck flipped over and was damaged.
We are thankful that our crew and the Lockheed Martin employee walked away from the crash with only minor injuries.
Lockheed Martin says they have begun an incident review as a result of the crash.

A speedy recovery to the journalist. But that gives me an idea… how about bridging the civilian/military gulf by having civilians contribute to military testing? I’m sure a certain somewhat overweight film-maker would be very sought-after in hardness testing.
