    I'm surprised the tank held together that well upon impact. I expected a rather impressive woosh, but...no woosh.

    I think it would have been more impressive to see it fall with a full tank of water, bet it would have split like a watermelon

    I must say, that was extremely satisfying for some reason.

    I am with Frank. I was wondering the whole time it was falling, "is it full of water". Was kind of a let down. LOL
