weeeee, bump cars
hahahaha cars and snow = good times!
Ah man this would never happen in Canada.
Ever been to Vancouver? It’s worse! lol
I think this was in Vancouver (standing in the YouTube comments).
People should know that they shouldn’t take the car for an adventure like this…
actually, I think it’s Portland (OR) from last winter.
Or Britain! :p Since when do we British get snow, especially in the North West of England.
Chester has it’s own microclimate, even if it’s snowing all over the UK, it won’t be in Chester.
Never happen in Canada? You’re an idiot. Here in Ottawa our buses don’t have snow tires, and the extended buses turn into bumper buses on some hills because the tires on the trailer are powered by the engine.
This happened in Portland, they have no idea how to drive in snow here.
Wasn’t this in Portland a year or so ago? I remember it flash snowed the roads cleared out. No one had chains on and everyone started flying around the road…
Nope, King 5 is in King County, WA. But Portland probably had the same problem.
King 5 is indeed in king county washington, but I believe the footage was indeed shot in portland. The video was merely aired in seattle.
While you are correct that King 5 is in Seattle(where I live now), this video was actually from Portland(where I grew up) as Chris indicated - from what I remember about the story this was filmed form the top of one of the buildings near Civic Stadium - what is NOT clear from the angle of the video is the slope these cars are on - for those of you not familiar with this area, these cars are sliding down a very steep grade, and what you can’t see is that there is a pretty good layer of ICE underneath the snow.
I was wondering why they were just sliding around. Makes sense now.
Do they have salt trucks in Portland, or do they not get enough snow/ice to justify it? I know in Dallas they just have sand trucks, which don’t do much of anything when you get the ice layers down and then a dusting of snow over it.
Hopefully no one was hurt.
Actually that’s not Seattle. That is Portland.. I remember when it happened and it was all over the news. It was just rebroadcast in Seattle.
There’s all the details. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMzeiMJQrvk
Dunno if this was actually filmed in Portland or not, but I got it via email from a friend who lives in Portland, over a year ago. It’s good film, but sad that they couldn’t come up with anything more recent to post.
This is the Christmas in July special.
Indeed it was. I actually know the driver of the second car in the clip. The car belonged to his mom.
Cars can drive sideways now!? WIN!
This happened in seattle, thats where K5 (King 5) news is.
Snow driving skills have nothing to do with it…
It was a classic Portland Oregon Ice Storm. There was solid glare ice on the streets under the snow… made for disaster when coupled with a significant hill.
Once drivers started down the grade… it was all over.
Wow, is that guy seriously retarded? When did mentally handicapped people start getting licenses?
You’re right, only retarded people are capable of sliding on ice and snow.
No, only retarded people actually think they can safely drive in weather like this.
Eh-heh. If you’re stuck at work and need to get home for whatever reason, it’s amazing what kind of weather you’ll drive through. I live in Ohio, and a couple of winters ago, it dropped two feet of snow on us while we were working. It took about five hours just to get up the hill and onto the highway with all of the people, cars, and accidents.
Oh yea i remember that. It was either freeze in my store (everything was shut off) or drive home and have heat. It was scarier going up the ramps than down them lol
Yeah, Michigan usually sees at least one horrific snow storm like that per winter. This last winter, I happened to be driving 30 miles in it. Things like that make me glad I own a Jeep, even if it does get bad mileage.
Notice what’s actually happening in the video. This is just extremely bad weather (the car never achieves a high speed but still loses control…on a hill).
looks like is a fun snow day!!!
Insurance deductible win!
Remember, you are the only person that knows how to drive in the snow. No one else.
All-Season Tires FAIL.
SUV FAIL, too.
All-Season Tires DO fail in the snow. All-Season Tires means “All Seasons Except Winter.”
Figure skating WIN!
Needs music.
Seconded.
3rdeded.
4ted …not “farted”.
lol, Comment clarification WIN!
Blue Danube Waltz, stat!
Excellent choice!
I’d have chosen Skaters Waltz, but that one’s good, too.
Automatic gears, I suppose :-)))
bob sled WIN
Insurance companies fail!
Mad scientist’s frictionless road… Win!
Coolness Win!
lol, this is old
An oldy but a goody . . . and on days like today (hotter than h3ll) it makes me feel so happay to LOL.
That was probably the same day all the cars on our hill went down sideways.
Good times…..
lol I lived outside of Seattle at the time this video was taken. It was all over the local news. It had poured ass rain the day/evening before, and then stopped, and the temperature dropped and it froze into glare ice, then started to snow.
Sadly, Seattle natives can’t even drive in the rain…and don’t have the common sense to stay the hell home, much less to put studded snow tires or chains on their cars before leaving in that kind of weather.
Hey! I live near Seattle too you know, and………no, wait…..never mind, Bobby’’s right. We can’t drive in the rain.
But…but doesn’t it rain ALL THE TIME up there??
*note to self…cancel plans to move to Seattle*
Chains are illegal in Michigan. I suppose with the amount of lake effect snow we get they figure we should know how to drive in it without them. They don’t exactly help our epic pothole problem either.
This does not happen in WI. We know how to drive in snow, and when it gets too horrific out, we stay home and drink.
Go us.
That being said, the people who fail in the video are not the people who are behind the wheel, it’s the people who are standing in the fucking road. Time to leave!!
Agree on the “standing in the middle of the road” comment. DUH!
The other big fail is the first driver - it sounds like he guns the engine after he hits the telephone pole in order to make the turn, instead of having the brains to go “Yay! I’m stopped!” and calling it a day.
Where in MI are you, if you don’t mind me asking?
What exactly is “ass rain”?
Whay do you think it is?
It’s what happens when you eat too much Taco Bell.
I would like to see what happens with the fire truck…
Probably nothing at all, as its weight is a little bit more.
I agree!!! That looked like it was going to be the big climax of the video, but then the video stopped. Boo! More carnage!
Why did this person KEEP trying to drive!!!
Because, according to pinball:
Bumpers are worth 50 points
Posts are worth 100 points
and, if you hit 5 or more cars before the 30 second timer runs out, you get MULTIBALL!
