1991년 이라크에서 고장난 에이브를 다른 에이브가 끌고가는데
보병이 없으니 에이브 엔진에 후폭풍 방지기를 설치하지 않은 상태로 이틀동안 끌고다니다가
뜨거운 배기열이 오랫동안 쌓여서 내부에 있던 힛탄이 유폭해 전소된 사건
결국 다 타게 냅두고 다음날 구난전차가 끌고갔다고 함
During the withdrawal from Iraq in mid-April 1991, as the 1st Armored Division was returning to Saudi Arabia, a fire erupted in a tank under tow. According to the commander of tank A-32, A Company, 2-81st Battalion, 2nd Brigade of the 1st Armored Division, he had been towing A-31 for approximately two days, covering more than 170 kilometers. Because of heat built up in the towed tank (A-31) from the towing tank's (A-32) exhaust, the crew would drive for approximately an hour and then stop to let A-31 cool off. On April 13, 1991, when the tanks were within a few hundred yards of the Saudi Arabian border, several rounds of A-31's ammunition exposed to the heat of A-32's exhaust suddenly blew up. A-32's crew quickly scrambled to safety, although one crew member sustained minor burns to the back of his neck. No crew members were on board A-31 when the rounds exploded.
