I have family who is an engineer, I've been told those cars weigh minimum 20 tons empty. Its amazing to see something of that size and mass still crumpling like a soda can.

It looks like it got stepped on by something massive and invisible. I can't imagine what info about practical uses that staged implosion would gather. Interesting none the less.
