I saw a motorcycle safety commercial that had the 0-60 speeds of a few motorcycles, then the last stat was something like "Oak Tree...will get you from 60 to 0 in 0.0 seconds..."

That is a heck of a lot more than your typical run of the mill "cement barrier."

Fully loaded? The load would become a 50 mph projectile.

I'd like to see that against a "run of the mill / temporary cement barrier."

With how the wall moved from that. I wonder how well it would handle a second one right after that.

Probably hold up better than it did with the first truck. A second truck would have to go through the wrecked first truck before it could get to the wall. That would dissipate a lot of energy.

Saw something similar to that on John Ratzenberger's Made in America (better known as Cliff Clavin...) on the Travel Channel. (I'm a geek when it comes to "How'd the do it?" kinda stuff) Check out the video here:

Well, I was talking more on another part of the wall. The whole wall moved a tad. Just curious.

I watched a show on these types of barriers. They are developed for us embassy and other terrorist targets. It was very impressive the stuff they built to stop all kinds of dump trucks packet with explosives.
