I saw that episode and I honestly thought it would have done alot more
damage then it did. Urban myths had tanks traveling thousands of feet
and going through poured concrete walls with ease.



That might be possible with an optimum sized hole, and nozzle, but even
then, the weight of the container is substantial. If it were a light
container, it might accellerate quickly enough to build some momentum.

Momentum should be the same - light or heavy container. Only other
effects would modify this (like scraping along the ground).
