This Abrams was hit with the force of several 155mm shells buried in the road.
The Commander, Gunner, and Loader were all killed while the Driver survived. The force of the denotation tore the turret off the hull. Fortunately it is difficult to hull around that much explosives. Although a single 155mm shell can be quite devastating on its own:
