After the first exploding vehicle breached a hole in the security barrier allowing entry for the cement truck,I noticed the cement truck became bogged in a sand pit and came under small arms fire before it also detonated.Does anyone know if the sand pit was purposely put there to trap VBIEDs or was it just a lucky coincidence?

i think It was purposely put the sand pit for cover from small fire or trap a vbied ... but i dont think it can handle the explosion of a vied....
