Tank Tort: Another Drunk Russian Soldier Takes Armored Vehicle for a Spin

We previously watched the video below of a drunken Russian tank driver careening around a town a. Now we have another incident in Perm, Russia where a drunken instructor took an armored infantry vehicle to go buy more booze. He said it was the only vehicle he could locate at the time. He ended up crushing one person and injuring another at a nearby shop.

The sergeant was drinking with his students from the Perm Military Institute of Interior Troops when they ran out of alcohol. He took the armored vehicle at 2 am to find more booze and ran over the people who were standing by a shop booth. He not only crushed them with the 14-ton BMP-2 vehicle but ran over a nearby fence.

Legal question: in the United States, would tank driving be treated as an abnormally dangerous or ultra-hazardous activity subject to strict liability?

Here is the earlier tank incident video:
