The doors alone are eight inches thick and weigh as much as the doors on a Boeing 757 aircraft. The windows are five inches thick and made of bulletproof glass. The tires are run-flats to allow the Beast to stay on the road if attacked. There is a steel plate underneath to protect it from roadside bombs and the gas tank is surrounded with foam and armor to prevent it from exploding. Finally, the Beast is actually sealed from within to protect the president from chemical attacks.
All of the windows except the driver's cannot be opened. The driver's window will open three inches to allow him to pay tolls or to talk to Secret Service agents who are running alongside the vehicle.

Facing history: President Obama took a tour of Goree Island outside of Dakar, Senegal where slaves used to depart on boats bound for America in the late 18th century.

President Barack Obama has spent the afternoon touring a Senegalese island where millions of Africans were shipped across the Atlantic into slavery and he called the visit a 'very powerful moment.'

Obama says visiting Goree Island with his family helps them fully appreciate the magnitude of the slave trade. They toured the museum at the Maison des Esclaves where slaves were gathered before going through the 'Door of No Return' and being forced onto ships bound for North America.

President Obama and the first family visited the apartheid-era prison on Robben Island, South Africa, Sunday where Nelson Mandela and other anti-apartheid leaders were jailed as political prisoners.

He left this note at the prison.



"On behalf of our family we’re deeply humbled to stand where men of such courage faced down injustice and refused to yield. The world is grateful for the heroes of Robben Island, who remind us that no shackles or cells can match the strength of the human spirit."

Barack Obama and Michelle Obama 30 June 2013.
