Every 100 bars of gold weigh 2,700 lbs. If you're moving fourteen quadrillion dollars of gold you ain't doing it in minivans.
I am a student of hauling heavy loads in passenger vans. Before I even knew what this thread was about I watched the video. The FIRST thing that JUMPED OUT was the suspensions of those vans were ‘flat springed’ … meaning the leaf springs that act as backup to the shocks was damn near maxed out. Then I watched for ‘wobble’ when the vans turned.
I am not supporting the “Gold on board” premise … but I can tell you with 100% certainty every single one of those vans were loaded down with something heavy as fuck … look how deep the tires were inside the rear wheel well. Dude, I was just waiting for a tire to burst or an axle to snap.
I was thinking the very same thing.
I don't have any specific knowledge about such things, but as I watched the video, before I read your post, I was thinking, "I wonder if someone could calculate how heavy those vans appear to be." Wild
