Hmmm, you are asking yourself...What does The Korean War have to do with the TV show, Ice Road Truckers? Well I will give you the answer!
I was watching an episode this weekend, and there is a place on the road called, Avalanche Hill (or something to that affect). They use a Korean War recoiless gun with 8 pound shells, to shoot into the treacherous snow banks, thus releasing the snow in the hope that it won't come crashing down on the drivers.
They showed them doing it and wow, it looked so cool! BOOOM!
