I'm guessing this was a prototype or test vehicle of some sort. Manufacturers do this sort of stuff all the time, because they don't want the liability implications should it be sold or otherwise make it out to a member of the public.

It's sad, but there's probably a reason for it.

why te ell would they do that. I can see blowing one up in amovie or something but to just crush it. I knoe some companies do that with some test vehicles. I dont know, but its sad to see
