Posted a second preliminary pass with sequential display, etc:

On Facebook ACTAR posted up a Venture and Saturn Crash Test
A post to the thread asked if any additional information, and the response said no.
So if anyone has addition la information please let us knows.
In the meantime we've done a quick preliminary msmac3D simulation of the crash
we provide the details so you can do a momentum analysis on the crash test
wil update with more information soon (it's the weekend! more next week!)
