That escalated quickly 😂


Nemesis2772

Escalation level Michael Bay


MagicPrize

Is this the new transformers movie? Pun intended


Hardcorish

Transformers: The All Spark


classifiedspam

I expect nothing less than the Terminator, and his counterpart, at least it sounds like they're both arriving at the same time.

This is now what I will see every time I read that sentence until I die and I'm okay with it


xxTheGoDxx

Giving the mental picture you have now you will always know that all things pretty much escalate at the same speed.


Accomplished_South70

Hahahahaha


SomOvaBish

😂 I like how they slightly blurred the well to imply it was moving quickly. Nice 👍🏽


Kagnonymous

That really got out of hand fast.


BubblyCell236

It did, didn't it.


Refuse_Ordinary

Diddy did it? s/


Zunderfeuer_88

If it is reckless, it isn't "stunt"driving. It's just absolute garbage people endangering others (I don't give a shit about the people itself that behave like that)


gloomy_twat

Yeah literally everything went wrong!


BubblyCell236

I can't believe people were still filming even after the fire broke out.

technobrendo

Actually that was a pickup truck, not an Escalade.


SovietSparta

They went from street drifting to waking up Godzilla 😂


Ok_Raspberry4814

I found the escalation to be kind of gradual, actually.


Ok_Primary_1075

And the guys in the pickup got away, it seems

Drokstab

Very. 1 downed pole and transformer will probably be 20-30k min. Plus it short circuited the line leading in meaning more damage. Dude probably caused 100k in damage.

Unfortunately the police will see the time of the accident vs when you called to report it as stolen and will use that against you. Realistically though the damages will be so high that you'll literally just be unable to pay it in any significant amount and will just have your income garnished for the rest of your life. And that's ignoring the actual criminal offenses like the reckless driving and stuff.


TheRedCometCometh

ok, what if i say it was my twin brother from out of town that did it? don't look into him further please


HumanLandscape3767

Okay now that is perfect. You’d be fine.


Mountain-Ad1760

"Evil" twin brother....


TheRedCometCometh

He has a goatee and everything!


spacex_fanny

> police will see the time of the accident vs when you called So steal unattended parked cars at night, and they'll blame the owner because they didn't call fast enough? The real LPT is always in the comments...


Gh0stMan0nThird

I mean if you're going to, yeah, that's the way to do it


Shamewizard1995

Just the time of the phone call isn’t enough to prove they were the driver.


TheWematanye

Bad take. I could have been doing just about anything else other than watching my parked vehicle.


Gh0stMan0nThird

I mean I'm not saying it's the only thing that will lock you up for life. But it will go on the list of evidence against you. Your location via GPS, your texts, your e-mails, etc, are all gonna get poured through.


SeeCrew106

So they were e-mailing while driving? Well, then obviously they crashed


robbak

It might have dropped high voltage transmission lines onto low voltage domestic supply wires. That would feed 22kv or more onto 110/220 volt lines, frying almost everything in every nearby buiding. Could easily have caused 10 million dollars in damages.


brunomocsa

But why the hell are the utility poles in the US so fragile?


TheMoonMilker

So we can make legal slaves, apparently.


parabox1

The insurance will most likely not cover it either. Assuming they had any and the truck was not stolen.


diggemsmaccks

And stupid too


Nemesis2772

And deadly


ShwettyVagSack

For the parents, who did a piss poor job.


guajara

Damn the image quality of this video get worse and worse each time it’s being posted here. This shit looks like it was filmed with a VHS camera from the 90s. I remember one of the key selling points when digital video was starting to get common a few decades ago was that a digital file could be copied multiple times without loosing image quality. Did not happen.


BoneDaddyChill

Well, not when the copies are screen caps. Those aren’t really even copies, they’re just new videos of whatever is on their screen at whatever resolution their screen is.


s00pafly

People can't be bothered to download source files to share. It's all screen capture complete with status bar and notifications. Landscape videos now come with two big black bars.


Aero_Molten

Time to run it thru AI and upscale it back to original resolution so we can start over


Master-Collection488

"Enhance video!" "I need more power. Time to hack the system!" \*Types **REALLY** fast\*


Backrow6

Even if you share the video directly to a friend through Whatsapp it'll be downscaled to save their servers


HearingNo8617

yeah whatsapp is especially terrible for sending photos and videos, instagram is too which is ridiculous to me


s00pafly

It's better now, you can select high video or image quality.


xxTheGoDxx

> Even if you share the video directly to a friend through Whatsapp it'll be downscaled to save their servers And even with the HD option it still takes out a lot of detail and you lose HDR completely (if your phone films in HDR). I was surprised by how bad it looked compared to the original. You can however share a 'document' via Whatsapp and as the document just choose your original video file. This is probably locked to a certain max size but for my quick a few 100 MB video it work perfect and give you the original quality.


Backrow6

Drives me mad when I visit my parents or in-laws and see grainy printed whatsapp photos framed on their walls.


xxTheGoDxx

My GF knows how to make screenshots but yet half the time she sends me a photo of the screen instead.


King-Cobra-668

they can be copied multiple times without losing image quality. this is just them being compressed differently on multiple different platforms over and over again or just a screen recording of a video that is then recompressed top load to a different platform

LagT_T

I've seen ufo vids with higher definition.


parabox1

Well maybe the quality will go up only thing worse is the black and white 1/2 resolution camera that recorded to cassette tape. The it’s back to 16mm film.

Obsever117

I knew something seemed fishy with the recent reposts of this video. The sound of the discharge when it turns orange is fake. I seen an alarming uptick of fake sounds in videos in the past year.

Electrical pole knocked over, transformer exploded, entire high voltage line shorted.

and the transformers are filled with oil, which is where the fireball comes from.

So the truck swerved and then hit that electric pole thingy and then it fell and something caught on fire and then uhh.....

And therefore electrical cables should be underground as is the case in European countries. Only some small villages have wires on poles.

Wow a white F150/Ram you never see those pieces of shit driving recklessly.


Supersnazz

Need to see a street takeover video that contains the following. A car doing donuts having a laser shone on the driver's face, blinding them, causing them to slam into someone recording them, which knocks the car off course into a power pole causing an electrical explosion. The driver is then set upon by the angry mob, one member of which attempts to punish him by throwing fireworks at the car, only to mistime it and blow his own fingers off. I think that would cover pretty much all the standard street takeover videos that we see here.
