Being flung out of your vehicle travelling at 70mph on the motorway, tragic. A baby being flung out of a vehicle travelling at 70mph? Call the National Guard, activate the sirens…but perhaps all these aren’t necessary afterall? Six-week-old Jonathan Samuel was in his little car seat, staring at the backseat’s headrests fantasizing about swallowing them when his father’s car [Carrying little Sammy] blew it’s tyres-causing it to spin six times on the very busy British M6. Post-collision with a central reservation, the father frantically jumps out his vehicle after turning around and seeing an empty seat where his offspring used to rest. After discovering an absence of a gruesome, bloody vignette similar to those in Eli Roth films, baby Samuel was eventually found on the outside lane of the motorway [After being flung out of a moving vehicle, sliding on the fast lane and catapulted out of his baby seat]. Reports say he is “‘Fit and well, alert and happy.”
Flying babies punted from a moving vehicle aren’t very commonplace on our roads [Thankfully] -Though this incident isn’t wished upon anyone, a child defying death at high-speeds sure is in my list…i’ll order mine in fire-proof and shatter-resistant.
News stories of vehicles being retrieved from an ice-covered body of water are one too many, seldom do we see the action live. Is ice fishing really that soothing? Not to this Ford owner, it isn’t. Luckily, the trawlerman escaped before the three-ton behemoth took it’s dive into Lake of the Woods. Follow the video closely [and grab some buttered-popcorn] to see it all go down.
A Thunder Valley, CA casino security guard brandished his weapon & shot at his window when his Ford Focus hit a guard rail and plunged into a creek last Tuesday, authorities say. The 28-year-old still-unnamed individual exited the sinking vehicle and paddled his way back onto the road to request help. The man was just simply affrighted by a random, irritable sonance that his Bluetooth device made, causing him to veer off the road. No indications of drugs or alcohol were involved. There is still question in the marketing of vehicles with a “Break Glass In Case of Emergency” handgun compartment.
Although I have to say, Angus MacGyver wouldn’t have been “spooked” by blue teeth in the first place.
Not quite the outcome they had hoped for. Don’t fret, Wallace, the bulldozer will be down there in a quick jiffy to anew the wreckage Pepare to run one more time, cameraboy.
Wallace Does New York, only New York didn’t want to be did.
33-year-old Julie Stratton pulled over on the side of a Buffalo, New York state thruway after having hit a deer… Only to be struck by a mondo Mack truck moments later. Investigators determined that the operator of said truck, 45-year-old Tom Wallace, was viewing pornography on his notebook computer as he was jaunting around the byways. Wallace is currently spending meritorious time in a Genesee County jail cell and is being charged with an equally meritorious second-degree manslaughter, it is currently unknown whether Wallace has an attorney. Adding insult to injury, Wallace was also violating federal rules governing drivers by sleeping no more than four of 27 hours before the incident. Hope you enjoyed Buffy The Vampire Layer, Tommy, fortunately you won’t have to pleasure yourself in jail, it will be provided by your cellmate.
It is how you perceive it. Existing car accident resulting from a DUI. Then a third vehicle with an operator also under the influence shunts one of the cars from the initial collision [The Lexus was unoccupied during the impact]. The Los Angeles police department would have a very enthusiastic “Hooah!” if all of these imbeciles were magnetized to each other as such We all know how much they hate to work.
This mind-reeling Australian barrage of a 1967 Camaro drag vehicle gets as close to the epitome of “luck” as it can. The driver got away with minor burns from the shards of steel that embedded onto his fire suit and mild asphyxiation from the clutch dust. What happened? The bolts holding the inspection cover to the titanium bellhousing failed to retain the blown up clutch. Note for later: Safety precaution checks are g*ddamn key.
It only takes one warehouse rack and a single fork to start a $250,000 party. Under careful examination of the footage, the warehouse racks do not seem to be substantial enough to handle the weight [clearly given] and none are cross-braced. Someone get a very large and sturdy broom, it’s going to be a long night [but please, no overtime].
The strobe lights and vociferous tunes may be “tight,” but the lug nuts on this Hot-Import-Nights-Lexus-Whatever monstrosity are not. Hey, according to Toyota, if all fails - hold down the power button.
The city of Seattle was built on Rock & Roll [And that was meant in a "poorly planned and fabricated on top of a fault line" sort of way]. The Washington State DOT released a well-demonstrated and [supposedly] shockingly accurate interpretation of what would occur around the Alaskan Way Viaduct if a tectonic plate shifts when a tectonic plate shifts. The most populated city of the country’s forty-second state has been retro-fitted to death to withstand forces such as the one envisioned above, however, will not change the simple fact that retro-fitting will positively affect the metropolitan’s hollow underground [especially in their freeways] during a calamity such as this. The computer-generated cataclysm was meant to get people on board with a project that will spend more tax payers’ money to fix something that was jacked up many times before illustrate to the great citizen’s of Seattle what their government could do for them. But will the people support the agenda out of love for their hometown… or out of wrenching fear?
Ironically, Seattle has been on many “Safest Places to Live” lists. Crime-wise, not in terms of seismic or meterological vulnerability.
Now, what this particular farce is trying to prove, I don’t particularly care for know: Either who’s testicles touch the ground, or which set of tyres provide better traction, or who’s lady friend is more vexatious. Proof, however, that crass behaviour leads to unmitigated disaster sits before us in the form of two brush guards forcing each other toward the other direction. Result: Mechanical failure, to say the least.
I heard large spoilers copiously augment the size of one’s appendage with little consequence, how about you novices start with something simple as such.
What excuse do you make when you crash a rented $300,000 Ferrari? “Them brakes no work”
World Class Driving of Calabasas, CA was not too thrilled to find out that the shirtless dude who graced the cover of all those romance novels jacked up one of their rentals. Fabio took the supercar for a spin on Mulholland Dr. when the brakes “failed” & struck something off-road causing damage to pretty much every single angle on the passenger side of the beautiful Italian (the car, not Fabio). Fabio himself is fine, he was spotted taking photos with fans at the Hyatt later that day…
WCD finishes a comprehensive safety checklist before the keys are handed off to their renters, & have assured that the tacky Italian is at fault (Fabio, not the car)
Addendum: WCD says the car has a data logging system that will allow them to figure out what exactly caused the accident. Booyah!
“Ben” Sulayem pitted this R28 Renault against a Ford GT last Thursday & headed straight for the pit wall. The Renault, due to the sandy track, was spinning its tyres after launch & regained traction moments later which caused uneven grip transfer. Dude walked away unharmed, so did the GT, & the car is currently undergoing repairs as we speak before the Grand Prix of Bahrain this weekend
I do hate it when science gets in the way of an interesting dogfight…
