I have. M1A2 drove over 5 stacked AT mines while using a military bypass SW of Fallujah. I wan't there for the show but I was there for the cleanup.
Whole tank flipped over, but I was on perimeter security so I was too far away to really see the damage.
Still, I heard the crew survived, it's a remarkable piece of hardware. Not sure if they managed to repair it or not.

In person the M1a2 is terrifying, even if it's on your side. Literally shakes the pavement. I just wish I had gotten to co-operate with one in combat.
