India, April 1 -- A crash test isn't just about ramming a car into a wall at speed, and hoping it comes out intact. It involves days of preparation, multi-crore equipment and a team of dedicated engineers. So, I couldn't contain the excitement when I got a call from Tata Motors, asking if we'd like to visit their Integrated Safety Centre and get to witness a crash test right before our eyes. Well, not only did we get to witness the crash test but also got a firsthand look at all the elements that make it such a complicated procedure.
