The fact the vehicle is made of steel is the point of the article and my comment.

And my point is you're crying about people pointing out how the steel body directed the blast upwards out the back in an unbiased and non-praising tone. Nobody was trying to use this as a praiseworthy thing, no matter how valid your complaints about the heaviness of this vehicle and how it contributes to particulate pollution are. It's just an obvervation.
