RPG's have NEVER totaly destroyed an ABRAMS.
What I mean by this is a catostrophic destruction of the tank.
The few that were taken out were immobilized by hits in the engine compartment. A few of these caught fire and burned out, but the crews survived.

There was at least one well publicized (back then) case where an RPG pierced the side hull armor of the crew compartment and knocked out the tank by disabling several systems. No catastrophic destruction but the tank was disabled and needed depot level repairs. The crew got some wounds as well IIRC albeit nothing life threatening.
