There you go..!!! Living proof that some people can tear up a steel ball !!!!! 
I'm choking on my foot, BTW.....
Looks like they snapped the tie rod or tie rod end. Not an uncommon thing on most any vehicle like that when you get the front end in that sort of bind. Who knows how many times it had been loaded like that in the past, either.
BTW...........No one said you couldn't break them. The trouble with them is that they are so good that once you get in deep enough to break them you are REALLY in DEEP. LOL.
One of my buddies always said that he hated his 4WD truck because by the time he got stuck he was so far from civilization that he was really screwed. I had never thought of it that way before.

I love to let the kid in the rice burner zipping in and out of traffic think they have a hole to move into in front of me just to give them a belch of the black smoke and pinch them off. Then I smile, knowing the whole time I could put the rice burner on a trailer and pull them faster than they can go.I just love my Turbo Diesel that blows black smoke on anyone who pisses me off! lol
Other times I'll mess with them a while then let them go. Usually I see them pulled over within 15 minutes.

No need for a thumbs-down for any vehicle; we all make choices. For instance, some guy drives to work in his Hummer (does he waste gas, sure, but he's going to work) and here comes a motorcyclist going on a motorcycle ride for entainment only (is he/she wasting gas, well at least to some extent yes). So whose wasting gas; I guess, both. And this scenario can go for just about any hobby related, engine powered vehicle (look at the automotive, big engined, hotrod craze). I don't particularly like Hummers myself, but don't segregate only them as, let's say, proprietarily wasteful (look at the big Lexus SUV's, Land Rovers, ultra sports cars etc.) JMO of course.
