• Actually, now that I look at it again, I don't really see any cops - I'm just not sure why a helicopter would be following this one particular car, and why he was driving like a bat out of hell.
• If it's horrific, why do I want to watch it? I'm scared. Hold me.
• Do you watch awards shows? Possibly the same priciple.
• I don't even watch tv. I don't even have my eyes open. I'm not even reading this right now.
• Lesson #3 - Don't drive an SUV like a sports car.
• I used to do that. I even bought a special braille monitor. Wound up having to have callouses surgically removed from my cock.
• We can live in perfect happiness, comforted by the continual experience of ordinary pleasures, or we can travel in helicopters, and laugh at mortals crashing their tin vehicles, and generally be just another fucking moron. I believe a beautiful death crash is the only solution. Oh yeah, I was looking for a little more death, laughing and general hi jinks.
• Actually, now that I look at it again, I don't really see any cops - I'm just not sure why a helicopter would be following this one particular car, and why he was driving like a bat out of hell. Since I don't know the specifics of the accident, I can't be 100% on it, but if it was indeed a police pursuit, I believe I can explain. When presented with a particularly aggressive and dangerous driver, especially during high traffic hours, the officer in charge will usually order the police cars to fall back out of sight. This just leaves the police helicopter to follow the suspect, in the hopes that the lack of flashing blue and red lights in his/her rearview and blaring sirens will calm the suspect down, at least to the point where they won't take extremely risky chances. I've seen this tactic work numerous times... The suspect never stops, but they usually stop taking ridiculous chances with their lives, and the lives of other motorists. For example, they will continue to run, but will slow down more at intersections, and reduce their speed from triple digits to a "calm" 70 or 80 MPH. At that point, if they do realize there's a helicopter shadowing them, they try to find a heavily populated area in urban situations, ditch the car, under a bridge or other obstruction from the copter's view, and try to blend in to the crowd. In rural areas, the suspect usually heads towards a heavily wooded area to escape the view of the pilot. Normally, this significantly reduces the risk of injury to the perp and the populace, but this guy seems to have had a death wish... Or maybe he was Asian... you know they can't drive... :)
• Oh.. I also forgot to mention that the on foot ditch doesn't work very often. With all the technical array on a police helicopter (especially in the wooded areas) they can usually follow the suspect on foot, as they tire themselves out, and then radio the location of the exhausted schlub to cops to scoop in and pick them up. It's a little harder in the city, but more often than not, they still get 'em.
• Also.. since the above link seems to be broken temporarily.. Here's a not so horrific crash of a VERY LUCKY man who ran from the cops and also did not wear a seat belt. 165 MPH crash in a regular street corvette.. not a SINGLE scratch on him... It may not be God... but somebody up there likes this guy... :)
• umm... damn sorry to be a thread ho'... but I forgot to add the link... D'oh! Click here
• If you find vicarious pleasure in seeing nasty creatures get their come uppance then you will find nothing here. A young girl dies. Its distressing, I watched so you don't have to.
• random... that was just awful... How can humans be so cruel... and what was she accused of? My audio cut out at "She was accused of ... being thrown to the ground..."
• Bum Cloth Have a couple of non-harrowing, rather amusing satirical takes on scary police chases. Its worth a look. No one dies in an amusing crash.
• He fly thu air like dolly!
• OK, someone watch it for me, edit the really bad bits out, and send it to me via telepathy, please.
• I saw it the other day. Someone at work sent it to me with no warning whatsoever. I was traumatized. I feel particularly bad for the person in the black car who ran over the perp and dragged him ... you know he/she will be reliving that moment for the rest of his/her life.
• *looks at waitingtoderail's post history* dude, two words: Cute. Overload.
• They showed us this clip at EMT class the other night.
• Maybe it's just me, but I didn't find the original linked crash all that horrific, as horrific goes...certainly seen worse.
• I didn't find it all that horrific, either. Anyone in a movie would have survived that crash. Horrific? If I am seeing horrific, I am expecting something like a nun on the side of the road in labor with her legs spread and an out of control car smashes into her, mangling and killing her instantly while the newborn flies through the air and hits an oncoming car in the windshield, splattering instantly like a prop at a Gallagher show and causing the car it hit to be blinded from the splattered baby remains so that it veered off the side of the road, over an embankment, through a thin wood fence, and into a backyard orgy where the broken bits of the car fly off and dismember every erect penis at the orgy so that several women are stuck with dismembered penises in their body cavities and with blood spurting out while they watch their sexual partners bleed to death slowly. That would be a bad accident.
• Lookitim FLY! Wheee! But I do feel bad for the guy who ran over him, though. That's years of therapy, right there. (Witnessed my first serious accident -- in progress, not just the aftermath -- last November. Car vs. motorbike. What got me wasn't the image, but the sound. If I never hear that again, it'll be too soon.)
• I've been in a serious accident, so I have no intention of looking at this link. But bernockle, I think we should make a movie outta your description there. Also, you might want to look at Puppy War! to cleanse your mental palette after that one.
• bernockle, I think we should make a movie outta your description there We can call it "The Aristocrats".
• Of course, the car with the splattered baby on it that rolled through the orgy is still going. The accident is not over yet. That was the only part of it I was able to see. I thought perhaps someone from here saw the rest of it after my account and let me know what happened.
• I now officially also have a huge hot monkey crush on bernockle. lets make some horror porn togther baby, a la Richard Kern!!!
• 'Bout fucking time.
• Not a crash, but more more Google video car fun
• That jersey barrier is supposed to keep out-of-control vehicles from causing mayhem on both sides of the freeway. Good thin so many of us Americans drive huge-ass SUVs, you know, for safety.
• That would be a bad accident. It was. It truly was.
• afj wins.
• Ouch.
