That was a nice juke by that bus
Busted!
That turned ugly
That was quite unexpected
Its actually really cool, cuz you think that first bus is gonna go Kabaaam into that the sports car, then when it slips carefully past it, we think, ‘what the hell, where did the fail go?’, and then Kaboom, blasted sportscar, unexpected bus from hell wins!
Yeah
it’s a secret fail.
)
But why the hell did the cameraman know what was about to come.
(Damn i think that was bad english
‘But
whyhow the hell’Not bad at all, don’t sweat it.
I believe it’s a traffic camera. Something probably hit it so it started swaying in the end…
I’ve known people who sway in the end.
I have NgO idean whiat you’re talking about.
*wiggle-walks away*
*blink*
*YOINKS the extra ‘g’ that leapt into above post*
*blinks again*
OKAY, who put all these extra letters in my post?!
*removes extra ‘i’ as well*
Sowwy. They spilled out of my post when I saw you walk that way.
Here’s an egg… With those extra letters you can make yourself a dairy-based Christmas drink! =)
Whiat? Really?
*squeeze*
My fingers had a mini rebellion, apparently.
But that’s okay! I have no problem looking like a complete dumba$$ for the amusement of my friends!
You might also want this ‘n’ you left up there too.
A couple more letters and you can play scrabble. =)
hahahaha.. I read your post a bunch of times trying to get what the pun was, and finally decided to keep reading cuz maybe the other threads will clue me in…
I thought that, perhaps, it was a Non-Governmental Organizational wiggle.
Hee!
Don’t worry you’re only on Failblog :cool look emoticon:
Well… I wouldn’t exactly call it “secret”… ^^
We’re watching it via a traffic/security camera from another bus I believe. Would love to see a camera trained on the drivers face though.
This is the most likely – I’ve seen a couple other accident FAILs from a Bus-driver POV on the web before. They tend to have both onboard cctv and little webcam things built into the outward facing part of the dash nowadays, for security and insurance purposes. The inboard one for if some lowlife starts some shit, the front facing one to show that, “yes, I was driving properly when that dickhead came out of nowhere and I couldn’t stop in time” (or conversely, to ensure that you’re well and truly boned if it IS your fault… thus encouraging the drivers to not act like the complete twunts they traditionally have a rep as being).
That, or it’s on a police car, parked up whilst a/ on patrol, b/ waiting for some miscreant known to be in the area, c/ getting sausage rolls and cinnamon danishes (we have far more general-purpose bakeries than we do doughnut shops). However the angle seems a bit high and the graphics seem wrong… maybe it’s an X5 or Range Rover with a new style system, but I doubt it.
The camera was a CCTV. They have them recording almost every square foot of London is being recorded at all times.
ugh…. being redundant in my sentence made it incoherent…
I meant that about every location in London is being recorded by CCTV at all times.
It’s in england I think, and they’re a tad paranoid about security over there so they have cams everywhere. They think it’ll help them identify and arrest suicide bombers.
Not at all. It’s just they want to make sure you don’t escape a parking fine. Also the police like to see if it’s safe to go outside.
Funny because it’s true
How do you arrest a suicide bomber?
You shoot him 7 times in the head point blank. Oh wait, that’s only for electricians.
cribbo88… theres no1 video recording,,, its a fixed traffic camera
Haz a epic drunk?
You can probably borrow that spare ‘n’ that Dragonwriter didn’t actually need.
So that makes a spare g, i and n… with those I think we can spell out the reason for all the typos, the wiggle to the walk, and found an example of somebody who “sways in the end”.. Boy, everything’s really wrapped up nicely.. Hmm, much quicker than usual!
:p
Geez, I made the gin reference nine hours ago! :p
You DID??
*rereads the thread*
Okay…um….that was apparently a bit too oblique for me.
:p :p :p
Well, I was drunk at the time.
why would you be stupid enough to park in bus stop place?
police car… bus… ignorant porsche driver who got their comeuppance for getting in the way at 69mph on the motorway and taking up disabled bays…
that bus gave that car what it deserved for parking in such an awesome spot
Isn’t there something really wrong in this video!? Before the first bus drives past, there are two buses on the right. There is no way that the second bus could move out of the way for the speeding bus so quickly, much less build up the speed to be the speeding bus. Is this just a really clever fake?
I mean, the crash looks real enough, but there is something fishy about where the bus comes from. Have a look and judge for yourselves.
I agree… the first thing I thought that this is probably a fake or some kind of set-up
The thing is, the crash itself looks so real it’s hard to believe that it is fake, but there is definitely something weird about where the bus came from. And if the crash is somehow fake, it’s so cleverly done that I would think whoever made it is clever enough not to screw up the part on the right side of the screen. But the “fact” remains, there is something physically impossible about where that bus comes from.
buses have a short turning arc, because their front wheels are far to the back (large front overhang). and their engines are quite powerful, it’s just they’re taught to accelerate and brake softly. so the only question is why.
Way to go man. FD2-esque.
That’s actually a pretty accurate depiction of how London bus drivers drive.
ABSOLUTELY what I was thinking. Thank god I’ve moved to Germany!
I’m sure German buses are the safest in the world. In Japan, the bus drivers actually tell you over the intercom when he will turn a corner, and go over a speed bump.
Then your buses are safer than ours.
[Bus driver over intercom:] I’m about to hop the curb, ram into the back of an illegally stopped car, and crash through the bus stop.
[Bus driver over intercom:] Hold on, I’m about to teach this lady a lesson on parking on curbs.
[Bus driver thought process:] Oh this is gonna be good!
*crash*
SMASH BONUS!
5x sports car multiplier!
Target car destroyed!
…hit B…
[Bus driver over intercom] Hold my beer and watch this!
Actually, if my mind ain’t playing any tricks on me, I think it’s bus drivers fail, because from what my eyes made me see, the other bus that was passing kinda rammed against one of the stopped ones, and that on trailed off and distroyed everything. So I’d say it’s a bus driver fail and a loose break fail.
N’aw, forget what I said. : )
Seriously?! No sidewalk is safe! EVAR! I must learn to fly…
Nope, those pilots fly drunk y’know.
*squeeze*
Long time no see!
*glances around*
>.>
<.<
Who me?
Aw, why not.
*timid squeeze*
Well, what do you suggest then? Underground? Metro? Tch!
Parallel universe imo.
*sniff, sniff*
More like server fail…I can’t watch it! Stoopid server!
*offers a new server, and a pair a wings*
Episode in brief: car parks at bus stop so driver can dash into store/use cell phone/whatever. Second car heading in opposite direction (away from camera) winds up blocking lane the rest of the way, making the bus that was supposed to pull into bus stop veer away. Immediately as that bus pulls away another bus comes from God knows where and takes out the parked car, the car in traffic, the bus stop shelter, the lamp pole…
The second bus simply pulled out after the first bus passed. The problem was that the speed, direction and overall decision making of that bus driver was woefully flawed.
could be heart attack, crazy passenger attack, mechanical fault, dozed off at wheel whilst idling and somehow knocked handbrake off + into gear + full throttle (those single deckers can really shift when empty and given the beans)… just lucky he parked with the wheel turned in that case, and the inital jolt woke him up, otherwise it would have crashed into the front bus / nearside shelter with NO warning.
… the fruit stand, the guy walking across the street holding a pane of glass, the second guy walking across the street holding a pane of glass…
…the nun with a gaggle of school children…
Lady pushing baby carriage that turns out to actually just be full of groceries….
All while the Roger Ebert Memorial Cliche Ticking Coundown Clock, marks the time.
That whole strand was just so spontaneously hilarious
…Batman running by holding a bomb, with the wick burning furiously, high above his head.
The second bus is visible at the start of the clip – it pulls away from the stop, thinking it’ll just overtake the bus passing in the opposite direction, then finds its path blocked by the car that allowed the first bus through. And having started too quickly, it can’t stop in time..
very poor reactions in that case… he’d have seen his way blocked for about a second’s worth of still being at maximum attack before hauling the wheel over to the left and hitting the brakes.
Here’s a devil to help you get things right.
YAY VELVET!!!!!

WoooHooo!
Congrats on the power Velvet!
Did the CCTV operator deliberately stop filming there? What a spoilsport.
I don’t think that was CCTV footage; the GPS co-ords on the video lead me to suspect it was either a camera van or a police car and the driver was getting the hell out of the way.
And, if anyone is interested, the stop in question:
http://tinyurl.com/yzcxxbu
It’s a camera mounted on another bus. Most buses now have cameras looking out the front so that when junkies and Eastern European alcoholics try to get themselves run over so they can claim compensation, it’s all recorded. Then when it goes to court the bus company can produce the CCTV footage and go “Nope, wasn’t our driver’s fault”. Also useful when idiots park in bus stops and drive in bus lanes.
in either case:
* police vehicle: turning to the side in order to back up, blocking the road with the blue lights on, seeing as this street is now a major accident scene and they don’t want anyone else trying to pick their way through (or quietly slink away without being stopped by other passerby…)
* other bus: turning away in shame … keeping out of the way in case the crashed bus starts moving again … and to allow easier access for any emergency vehicles, particularly as there may soon be a fire to add to the getting-thrown-around injuries. Plus they’ll know that the important stuff’s on tape already.
They see me rollin’…
Dude, I think the problem was that that car was parked in a f**ked up place. WTF?
So, you don’t think the fact that the bus swerved into a bus shelter is a problem at all?
Be honest now, BF. Don’t you think they could’ve put the bus stop in a safer location, too? Poor foresight on behalf of the civil designers. Well spotted, first. Good eye.
‘E panicked!
It isn’t the bus driver’s fail. The Volvo was on the wrong side of the orad in an attempt to go around the bus stopped on the right. The first bus had to swerve around it. The second bus came around the corner, saw the Volvo where he wanted to turn and took evasive maneuvers not realizing that there was also another asshole parked there!
The bus that did the crashing didn’t come around any corner. It is one of the buses parked on the right at the beginning of the video. This is a combo fail. Yes, Thoughtless Parker and Middle-of-the-road-er futzed up the driving landscape, but the bus driver shouldn’t have pulled out until he had a clear view of traffic conditions.
bus driver WIN, Porsche bimbo FAIL… pity it didn’t crush her car
That hardly seems fare.
Couldn’t agree more.
That wasn’t a Porsche, but thanks for playing. In any case there was more fail here than just the bus driver. And no sense in harming an innocent exotic when the owner who parked like a douche could easily have been run down instead.
Not that I have an opinion >.>
Never mind, I just failed. That was a Porsche.
…Still wish the owner had been hit, though.
>.>
<.<
Isn’t it? It looks a LOT like one. It’s either a porsche or something very close to it in style, like a 380Z. Hard to tell with the video quality.
Also the driver has quite obviously parked illegally – half on the pavement, over a yellow line – in order to go to a cashpoint or something. And she ain’t hurrying. Plus there’s a legal parking spot about 20 yards further up.
Bus error (core dumped)

Failed alright. *sigh*
You used wrong stuff! Its all about now! Right?
Whopsie, failblog absorbed my “stuff” These marks: ().
(hope they did’t disappear now…)
Dang! >< These!
It’s crashed now.
Maybe we can get another route(r).
That might cost you a packet.
Another driving-related 10am video fail?
*yawn*
Good morning, everyone!
Methinks we should be out scouring the intertoobs for non-vehicular related vids to throw up on Failblog.
*SQUEEZE!*
Like this one? (Clicky.)
OMG!!!
Please tell me you submitted that. I mean, really…deep throating a microphone!
Yeah, you could hear the uvula vibrating.
Well, it IS a very sensitive organ, yanno.
I guess this is why podia were invented.
Waaait… are you all saying you didn’t know this one? I didn’t submit it (I wouldn’t know what to do…), I thought it was on way before my arrival here. If anyone wants to send it to FB – go for it!
Just click on the “send in the failboat” link at the top of the page. ^^
Actually, here in Norway, its 7:30 pm
Norwegian are we?
of course, where else could a walrus live…
Hmm quite true….
Come visit the MNM!
mnm? been there done twat
NASS.
(New avatar, same shit).
Oh! Me too!
mm found a good parking spot
…but there’s no one driving that bus…
*eerie music plays*
Little did anon know, that he had entered the twilight zone…
Disturbingly enough, I was watching Twilight Zone: The Movie not 10 Minutes ago….
Da na na na Da na na na
Batman?
Nah that’s about 20 extra ‘Na’s’
I’m sure you could borrow a few from “Hey Jude”.
Or “Hey, hey, hey, Goodbye”.
♫♪ Sha-na-na, Sha-na-na-na-na-na!! ♫♪
There may be a few extra in Journey’s Lovin, touchin, squeezin’ as well.
One day when I had WAY too much time on my hands, I tried to count the “Na”-s in that song. I couldn’t keep up.
Musta been the walrus hide…
don’t blame me, i just sell the stuff
If that bus is a Dennis Dart, then it may well not be the driver’s fault. There are a number of recorded cases where this model of bus has experienced unexpected acceleration surges. This has been as far as parliament in the UK:
http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/written_answers/1999/dec/21/dennis-dart-buses
Nice find / geeky knowledge win.
I wonder now if all the terror rides I’ve been on whilst riding one of those back in the day weren’t entirely down to the driver being a lunatic, and instead the result of his frantic efforts to keep the bucking beast under control…
Nice how the camera shows its GPS coordinates so we can see right where it happened:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=n+51+28.40+w+0+14.83&sll=51.47454,-13.996582&sspn=6.194156,16.907959&ie=UTF8&layer=c&cbll=51.473446,-0.24723&panoid=kaaytJZwV2BsvQUxokI8bg&cbp=12,58.92,,0,-0.11&hq=&hnear=15+Church+Rd,+London+SW13,+United+Kingdom&ll=51.473486,-0.247107&spn=0.001512,0.004128&z=19
It looks to me like the car that stopped in the middle of the road was going the wrong way on a one way street. The first bus managed to swerve around it but the second driver lost control or panicked when he came around the corner and there was a car stopped in the middle of the street facing the wrong direction. All in all, not the bis driver’s fault. Wrong way idiot’s fault.
And to make the wrong way moron’s error worse she is blocking two lanes in the road when she stops leaving the bus turning onto the road no room to maneuver.
My gawd, why haven’t you heard of a brake pedal on a bus? Watch the vid again, that second bus pulled out from the line of 2 busses stopped on the right of the screen. It pulled out, swerved around the stopped car and into a parked car and bus stop, never once even glancing at the brake pedal until after it’s done a lot of damage.
It was totally and completely the bus drivers fault.
I totally agree.
No, I don’t think it was a one way street. There are cars parked facing the other way on the far side of the street. I just think the parked car was parked in the bus lane and when the bus turned the corner it couldn’t swerve around it.
I thought so too for a second but the words on the street, Bus Stop, are facing the direction the driving car comes from, which makes no sense if it’s a one way street going the other way. What really seems to botch it up is the parked car facing the wrong way in the bus stop lane and the fact that the driving lanes appear to be rather narrow, not allowing room to maneuver in case of something like, oh, a fool parked the wrong way, as the driver doesn’t seem to know what to do about it. They might have wanted to stay in their lane to go straight or are just one of those idiots that doesn’t know how to drive around things. Then the bus driver comes speeding from around the corner, has no time or space to react, freaks out, crashes. A few fails here but mostly the bus driver and parked car tard.
What video did you watch?
Right, should’ve said the bus came from the opposite curb, not from around a corner. Still, bus driver and parked car tard fail.
It’s in britain I think…. We drive on the left side of the road and the scenery looks something from here too.
yep, lat/long puts it in London.
And our roads ARE torturously narrow/bendy from an american perspective
being oldskool european spec and all. Not even room to fit a motorcycle between two parallel-running lanes of bulky modern cars in some places. Woe betide anyone who tries to manoeuvre an Escalade through suburban London…
If it’s a one way street, how come there’s a bus stop in the direction we’re facing?
Hey, Metrobus in DC is hiring!
Sorry, to qualify for Metrobus you need to be able to hit pedestrians, not parked cars.
I think she locked the car. I saw the lights flash. Hahahahahah!
Maybe the plipper set off something inside the bus engine drive-by-wire ECU…
Hey! Two English fails in a row!
It’s been a bad week for us
*Takes off bowler hat in shame*
*waves Union Jack*
*the choir sings “RULE BRITANNIA”*
Now now people, let’s just get back to building Jerusalem in Englands Green and pleasant Land. We’ve got a schedule to stick to here!
Builders sticking to schedule? In England?! Goodness me, what next? Tube trains that arrive on time?!
Only when I poke them with my Arrows of Desire.
’twas actually a mechanical FAIL.
If you mean that the brittle bolt, holding down the lid of the pressure-cooker that was the bus driver’s road-rage, finally let go, I’d tend to agree.
’tis funny to see the Buxton Cat fail!
This is more like a Bus Drive WIN for me, since cars are NOT allowed to park at bus stops! About time someone makes a statement.
Vive La Revolution!!
*fetches pitchfork and flaming torch*
*leads angry mob through streets*
Here I am!
Just some guy in my neighbourhood.
*waves sign reading “Down With This Sort of Thing”*
Why do you think the camera person turned the camera away? An accident like that is something one would want to document, no?
Maybe it`s an automated System…
see upper right corner in the clip for details
It looks like an automated system to me as well.
What, mounted ~5ft off the ground and able to turn around corners rather than just panning? It’s vehicle mounted, come on.
Our CCTV cameras are mounted on their own posts when there isn’t a convenient building to stick them on, especially in London, where they’re used to ensure nobody’s parking on yellow lines or driving in bus lanes.
If I saw that pile of wreckage coming at me, I think I’d try to get away too…
Eek, a sloth!
Baby you can drive my…bus
Craaasssssssshhhhhh bbbbooooommmm bbbllllaaammmmm ttttiiiiinnnnngggg.
$50 to the person who can tell me what drug she’s on.
Do I actually have to watch that garbage she keeps posting, or can I just take a blind guess?
walrus skin, if prepared thouroughly weed and cat pee, can create a powerful hallucinogen
sorry, WITH weed
I’ve found that to be true. As long as you smoke the weed and thoroughly discard the walrus skin and cat pee.
What is her Meth-od?
in that case, you haven’t experienced the ful potential of hallucinogetics
So wait a second here, you’re telling us if we really want to get high we need to rip your skin off and smoke it?
Self preservation FAIL!
She makes me CRANKy
i know, but my dead skin is only slighty less potent….
3 bucks a kilo!!!!
*starts scraping off dead skin with an arm lying nearby*
It looks like I picked the wrong week to stop licking Cane Toads.
Eeww, you don’t know where that arm has been!
*re-attaches arm to shoulder*
ummh, u’ll have to pay for the skin under your nails!!!!
Don´t want to point it out, but….
is there a female person exiting and
locking the Car on the left?
*goes round the corner whistling
This looks like an entire street fail to me, you’ve got a car driving between the lanes, another car half-parked on the sidewalk in a bus zone facing the wrong way, and of course our friend the awesome bus driver.
By the way, what i saw the bus driver came around the corner way too fast, and he would have crashed even whitout those cars. Maybe it was an issue with engine or brakes, or just crappy driver, i dont know. But, the bus was of the street even before crash.
That looked like all kinds of fail to set up some more fail with a side of epic fail.
LGB: “hello everyone i’m a troll” has been exorcised. Emily banned his/her IP.
trolled away cursing
i bet
rolled away in a trolley, i wager
Yes, I saw the comments had disappeared. Do you have a different email addy for Ben & Emily that I should use from now on?
I guess that would mean I’m at the top of the last thread then. Protecting the masses. As I intended.
HA! Take that, evil trollish wrongdoers!
I didn’t know that you could earn enough as a bus driver to buy a minivan. Especially not when you’re such a bad driver.
I was thinking something similar, that the minivan driver was rushing to the bus depot…to avoid being late for their shift.
“That bus is coming out of your paycheck!”
“…Dang.”
So they may have to keep this driver employed for decades. Sounds like some decent job security, DW! How ya been?
Been great, thanks! Nice to see you back in these parts, ED.
Are you still posting from an oil rig in the Caribbean, or do I have you confused with someone else?
Nah. Moved to N’awlins a couple weeks ago. I go back to work Tuesday, though. They let us visit our things every so often. I get much faster connection when I’m not at work.
I’ve often wondered about those juicy pants. I mean, think about it: is juicy a term you really want to use to describe your butt?
So many potential levels of wrong. (^_^)
Too much ass cream.
I don’t care how much weight you lose. If this side effect kicks in, you ain’t lookin’ good in those jeans!
That’s why I rarely wear any.
That’s one of your most endearing qualities!
I feel so… so… objectified!!!
*sob!!*
Secretly? :p
Think that was actually a bit of a win: one car parked at the bus stop and halfway up on the sidewalk, another one apparently blocking traffic, and the first bus has to bypass the stop. Then Superbus leaps into action and avenges all buses by clearing the lanes. As bad as the bus drivers can be around here, this looked like justifiable carnage except for the innocent bus stop shelter that wound up taking one for the team.
Ha! There are so many things to see, I missed the man walking along behind the parked car. OMG, it looks like he came very close to…soooorrrryyyyy….did he die?….can’t help myself. … *self flagelates with mackerel*
Yeah, the car was facing the wrong way, but *that doesn’t matter*. It would have taken up the same space, and presented the same challenge to that oh-so-challenged bus driver, if it had been facing the other way. Drivers are supposed to be able to handle these things without endangering passengers’ and bystanders’ lives.
It did look like the second bus was travelling awful fast…it sort of careened into everything
The good part is noticing where that second bus came from.
I admit, I thought the “fail” would be on the first bus down the street, not that second one.
It looks like a “Road Snooker” fail, to me. You’re supposed to hit the white one into the black, not the other way round.

As much as I like norwegian (Bokmal? Nynorsk?) it would not be a good idea for me. I’m afraid it would confuse me too much and drive the last remains of swedish out of my brain.

My Dad has spent years doing genealogical research. Part of this effort included translating old documents and wills from the early 1600’s. It is very difficult to learn, the writing was completely different back then. I look at some of those old documents, and just go cross-eyed. What do you suppose people 4 centuries from now will think when seeing 20th-century handwriting?
they will probably react like this:
*headdesk*
;D B)
damn those 20th century noobs, they dont even know 1337-speak.
Given current trends, I’ll be thankful if they can do more than just sit and drool all over themselves.
*drools over DW’s ealdgesegen englisc (oldspoken english?)*
Okay, google:”Old story”. Same thing, I guess. Dutch: zeggen, gezegd. German: sagen, gesagt.
Related?: Saga
That’s right, Czuhc! And since for a long time there was no written language, speech and language was considered “storied” communication, so an “old language” is synonymous with “old stories”. I’ve always thought that was extremely cool.
(Oh, and Brewski…in the 1600s, people spoke “Middle English”. :p )

Well, i think finnish language doesn’t count, so i cant help you. Okay, we are forced to try and learn some swedish, but my grades in that were… Should we talk about something else?
I think there are a few misconceptions in the comments.
The parked car is *not* in the marked bus stop area. It’s outside by inches, true, but even if it’s illegally parked it’s outside the area reserved for buses – legally no worse than if it was 100 yards further away and still on a single yellow line. Though it’s probably illegally parked, a single yellow line means parking is sometimes permitted; anyone familiar enough with the road to drive a bus should be aware of that.
The moving car isn’t across the center divide at all. It’s to the right of the dotted line marking the bus stop, but to the left of the dotted line in the center of the road. The first bus is across the center line by necessity, since there are other buses in the way, so the car stops to let him pass and get back onto the right side of the road.
Apparently (seems to me) the rear bus knows he’s gonna have trouble getting out into that traffic, so he decides to try to ride the wake of the first bus – get out into the road before the oncoming traffic can make it impossible for him to cross the center divide and pass the stationary bus in front of him. So he barrels out to get position, the engine responds to being gunned way more than he expects and he loses control. If he hadn’t hit the parked car, likely he’d still have gotten either the shelter or the perfectly innocent car waiting for the bus to pass.
So the first car may have been illegally parked (commonplace in most parts of England), but wasn’t really a contributing factor, the second car wasn’t at fault at all, and neither contributed to the bus driver going apeshit.
Oh, but I should add it’s still as funny as all hell. I bet this bus driver could get his wheelchair to the foundation.
Does it look like the driver is passed out as the bus goes around the corner?

Dig the suspense here. “Oh, the bus is going to hit that black car! No, that white car! No, wait, a completely different bus comes in!”
Really do hate that “dot org” voice though.
Amen. It’s like a certain infamous Whitney Houston song… you can dig it for the first few dozen times, but by the few-hundredth time it’s a candidate for getting Gitmo prisoners to talk.
Just don’t watch it, skip it, or even better complain where complaints are supposed to go. Not here for people to get annoyed at…
I absolutely love it. “I find your post annoying and I’m going to write a post saying so. Because if something annoys you, you should skip over it and not write a post saying so.”
Yes, this conplaint was voiced in its proper channel, to you the culprit. You voiced your unrelated complaint in the comments section, not in the contact us link that Failblog provided. You fail.
As an aside you can skip the dot org, one cannot simply skip a comment, it is always there to see. After skipping to dot org voice, you don’t have to witness it again. Unfortunately with these comment we can do our best to skip them but they are always there and always viewable. The video has a time line bar with a 2 second interval before the dot org comes up. In the time force the bar to the end problem solved.
*Changes conplaint to complaint in above post*
one cannot simply skip a comment
As far as I’m aware, you have just as much voluntary control over the muscles in your eyes (to stop reading) as I have over the voluntary muscles in my fingers (to scroll over and click pause).
If someone’s holding a gun to your head and forcing you to read every comment, then you have my apologies for “making” you read it. Otherwise, double fail for continuing to insist that you have the right to say that something annoys you, but that no one else has that right except at your whim.
Still you insist. The original complaint was that you voiced your complaint in the wrong forum. Aside from that I still see your comment every time I scroll down the screen. That is what I am saying, so yes I do not re-read your post every time but it is there. Not like the video which can be ignored or simply not played after the first annoyance. You are the gift of annoyance that keeps on giving.
Aside from the fact that the dot org is at the end, so you’re not obligated to listen to it.
The bus had no choice. He had to stay over 55 mph!
Bullocks!
Never mind them!
And under 88, lest you see some serious shit.
*snerk*
There’s no sane reason for the bus to do what it did. 100% bus driver’s fault. Learn 2 brake.
Learn 2 spell, more like.
Wait. There are 2 brakes? No wonder he was too confused to stop. Driver must have used the wrong one, or only one. Do you have to use both for it to work?
I think s/he meant the bus driver was learning to break.
*boops Emp’s nose*
*dances sillily out of room*

*Boobs Ms B*
*Puts shirt back on*
He didn’t say there were 2 brakes, he said learn 2 brake. I’m guessing it’s some sort of two-step dance you do on the brake pedal to actually make the stupid thing do that thing where it stops doing what it’s doing.
Too bad for the Porsche and VW Passat xD

Chef louis was voiced by René Auberjonois, who would go on to play Odo in Star Trek: Deep Space 9.

I heard a great radio interview of him right as DS:9 was ending. After quite a long interview about Star Trek, right at the end, the interviewer asked about voicing Louis. He talked a bit about doing voice work, then he sang the song. It was priceless!
I think my dream job would be doing voices for Disney movies (other cartoons, too).

No Coyote, I know Mel was a regular on Jack’s show, but I’ve never seen or hear about when he was supposed to be a fish.
That was taken by a traffic camera in Richmond (UK) while the car driver went to an ATM at Barclay’s. The road there is a bit narrower than the film would suggest.
Barnes, actually. By the Pond.
Oh, yes: what you don’t see is something hitting the camera pole causing it to swerve anti-clockwise. I’d bet there was another bus?
no, because it’s a cctv van

At the start of the video, you see 2 buses parked on the right side of the street and are completely stationary. The bus coming down the road blocks your view of the bus in front for a space of about 2 seconds. After the bus passes, you can see the bus that was parked in front is gone, and that bus that comes careening onto the sidewalk comes through.
It seems impossible for that parked bus to be the one that crashes since even turning at such an angle would be impossible and 2 seconds is not nearly enough time for it to have done so. So the real question is, where did that parked bus go?
Now that you mention it, i must say that it was the parked bus that crashed. Buses have wheels so up in the front that it can make relatively sharp turns. The driver didn’t turn back on road so he crashed.
And the Dennis Darts are FAST, frighteningly so when you’re riding without a seatbelt
The parked bus is still there. Try again never.
Err … Henley … I think.
*snork*
42!
Mortlake bus depot.
It’s obviously a fake. This was produced. maybe for a commercial or something else.
The camera is waiting for it, both buses are going the wrong way. Look at the direction of the street. The car is parked facing traffic. Look at the paint on the street. The cameraman slowly moves away to the right and fades out. Who else besides me would keep recording?
There’s a lot more. It’s totally obvious.
…Not. The thing is, the bus launches in too much speed, and hits wrong-parked car + other stuff. The camera is automatic, you can see some information on upper corner. Something hits camera pole, and it twists and camera turns. Simple as that.
Let me try and take apart your argument:
The camera cannot have been “waiting for it”. This is footage from a CCTV camera, which would have been recording events on this road 24/7. The reason the buses are going “the wrong way” is that this took place in London, as shown by the London Transport bus stop sign next to the shelter. The car is not parked facing traffic, see above. I have no idea what you mean by the paint on the street. If you mean the yellow line, that’s to signify you shouldn’t park there. And the camera swerved to the left because it was presumably hit by a car involved in the carnage. And if you still don’t believe me, click my name for an article from The Sun on the incident.
8…9…10 – he’s out! BFF defends his junior title!
(Gute Nacht!)
Oh – yeah, they’re going the wrong way.
1/ The buses may be going “the wrong way” because they’re on the right-hand side of the road, and the OP of this thread isn’t actually a moron. Except that they don’t realise said buses have pulled out to pass the parked ones
2/ The porsche IS facing into traffic, being parked on the RH side of the road.
3/ The camera’s mounted on a roving police van, which stopped to record the porsche driver’s illegal parking and was presumably about to move on, and then got the hell out of the way in case of futher incident.
4/ the camera moves away slowly to the LEFT, what the hell?
Why do you say the buses are going the wrong way?
The road markings and the direction of traffic are correct for the UK.
He/she is sick & unable to think clearly.
*dons latex gloves & surgical mask*
*pats sick condescendingly on the head*
It’s not fake, it happened in Barnes opposite the Pond outside the Sun Inn and you can find records of the accident in the local paper.
We walked past just after the accident as the police were at the scene –
The parked bus pulled out too quickly having not seen the awaiting car, swerved to miss it and hit the parked car opposite. The weirdest part is having caught buses from that stop for more than 2 years I’ve never seen it ha;f at least one person waiting there. A very lucky escape but 100% genuine.
I almost forgot.
Hello everyone.
*squeezes*
Whats wrong with my posts? I have posted 4 posts that have not appeared on site! What is going on!
Strange… It prevents me from posting when im putting one engrish fail on website… WordPress site soo…
Well, anyways, STS and ZA, are you part of this?
ht tp://engrishfunny.com/2009/09/09/engrish-brains/
I didn’t think that was supposed to go public until after the apocalypse. Did it start already without me?
I don’t know I didn’t hear about it till now.
Leave it to us zombies to figure out how to screw up a timetable.
Damn! There goes your new porshe!
Another classic accelerator/brake peddle mixup?
Another question… In the US we usually call it the “gas pedal” but do the fine citizens of the UK call it the “petro pedal?”
No, the Accelerator or Throttle (in fact, as we have Real Gearboxes, it’s the C-B-A arrangment, clutch-brake-accelerator). Though I noticed my own and others’ tutors (late 90s/early 00’s) are incongrously calling it “the gas” these days. Probably because “that’s what The Kids will be used to”.
Petrol pedal would be fitting, but just sounds plain stupid. Especially considering so many of our vehicles run on Diesel, Methane, Electricity…
I think the second bus didn’t realize the silver car was there. It was screened by the first bus. When the second bus pulled out without looking, suddenly it was about to ram the second car, so he swerved to avoid it and hit the black sports car and everything else. The latitude/longitude lat n51 28.40 long w00 14.83 puts this in England so everything is backwards (look at how the cars are parked, and the driver of the black car gets out of the right of the car). I don’t know the ins and outs of the bus stop rules in England, but I think the silver car would have usually been farther to the left. The second bus jolted a bit as the first bus passed. Maybe the first bus clipped it and the driver of the second bus knocked the petal. Even if the buses didn’t touch the second driver pulled out and found someone in his lane.
The black sports car parked is not only parked on the sidewalk, blocking a bus stop, but that they parked facing the wrong way on the street (yes, you can get a ticket for that.) The guy crossing the street was also jaywalking!
Most accidents happen when more than one thing goes wrong. The black sports car parking in the wrong spot leads to the silver sports car being in the wrong lane, and the second bus driver either fails to look or is bumped. If any of those things wasn’t happening the accident wouldn’t have happened.

ITS DOCTOR WHO!!!!!!!
WHAT!!!!!!!
WHERE!!!!!
WHEN!!!!!!!
WHY!!!!!
CHEEEEEZZZBURGERZZZ DID IT I TELLLL YOOOOUUUU
It’s not a one way street, you can see that because the bus lane is clearly marked for oncoming traffic. It’s exactly like someone else said, the first bus obstructs the view of the parked bus, so when he comes barreling out way too fast, he suddenly see’s the silver car, panics, and oversteers it into the stop – bloody ridiculous human being he is for pulling out from behind the other bus at such a speed.
it’s just a regular british street… 2 way, left-hand drive, kinda cramped and congested…
The actual story if anyone cares; http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2646611/Bus-wrecks-Porsche-in-sensational-CCTV-video.html?OTC-RSS&ATTR=News
The actual bus stop is here in street view (you can see the cash machine that the Porsche driver was visiting here: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=51.473411,-0.247353&spn=0,359.986063&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=51.473446,-0.24723&panoid=kaaytJZwV2BsvQUxokI8bg&cbp=12,52.52,,0,9.71
good one, thanks; it was driver error apparently, panicking to avoid the silver car and getting it all wrong.
ha, thats cool. ive never seen a crsh that good in a long time. now brb. must fix my ribs..
dont see the fail…. our bus drivers in town do that sort of thing all the time.
Saw this news story, actually, when it was in fact news. The woman parked on the curb at a marked bus station, with her fancy sports car, believing that she was upper class enough to deserve to park anywhere she pleases(No crap, that’s what she said). Bus driver plowed into the car due to low visibility situations(they have to jump the RPMs on left turns like mad, so you come out of them with some good momentum). Car goes squish. Woman tries to sue. Woman fails, if I recall.
WTF man? He’s pulling away from a stop, usually a low speed situation, onto a straight road, with a fully automatic transmission (city bus, you want smoothness and driver convenience above all, unlike the absolute control/power with a intercity coach).

Nice find, sadly buried inamongst all this. It puts a few arguments to bed…
1/ Yes, it’s a porsche.
2/ Yes, incorrectly parked, as the start of the video is showing the video operator recording the offence
3/ From that, it IS some kind of police or at least local authority vehicle, possibly the CCTV patrol vans that are quite prominent in some less salubrious areas
4/ The operator is, themself, probably a bit tipsy, explaining why the camera didn’t hold position as the van pulled to the side. They seem to be having severe difficulty with the simple pan/tilt/zoom operations and do a complete 360 with the camera taking in variously the van’s roof, a close-up of the pillar of an adjoining lean-to carport, and the sky before managing to settle on the accident scene.
5/ The driver is presumably passed out in the cab, as (after skimming, admittedly) I don’t see him come out of the bus, or anyone with a uniform other than the police in the video. A second patrol car arrives, maybe they’re waiting for an ambulance before removing him. He did at least manage to put the brake on / find neutral / kill the engine (no sound…) before being knocked out, as the bus then doesn’t move an inch further.
6/ The bus that passed it immediately before the accident also got involved, with the porsche ending up ramming the rear right side of it.
looks fake to me. If you look close…don’t even have to look close…there are two buses parked on the street with the third coming down. The two parked are very close together so even if the driver of the “crash bus” had stomped on the gas I don’t think it would give it enough momentum to shoot out like that. Something just seems odd with the video. Funny though
Why’s there always some dick who comes up with a nonsense “it’s fake” argument like this? Look one line above for the full version. It’d be an awfully well organised and expensive thing to fake, with all that crowd of people, shutting a road, getting the police in…
Hello; I’m new to this website. Well, I’m new to these boards at least. I have known about this site for awhile and I have visited it from time to time. I find these “fail pictures” to be quite funny so I just decided to create an account. I’m glad to be here.
Ok, I appreciate that they got rid of the “Failblog.org” animation at the start of the videos. But putting it at the END of the video is also REALLY annoying.
DOT ORG!
*zzzzaaaapppp*
That bus looked like it came out of nowhere.
Good shot red 2!
Dude.. Where’s my car?
*goes on long journey to help find it*
The camera is fixed, probably mounted in/on a police car (due to elevation I think it is a police van), they drive away so they wont be hit by the bus.
she shouldn’t have parked at the bus stop in the first place
*I poped the tires but I’ll never tell*
good thing no one was in the way
If you check carefully you can see that the driver FAINTED BEFORE hitting the car:
- the bus was parked behind the bus on the right.
- the driver fainted swerving the bus full right (his right) and hitting the pedal to the metal.
- any bus passenger knows buses can take that swerve easily
obviously we are in England so all those US lamers that think everybody was going on the wrong side of the road maybe should have a check: there’s something alive outside their country.
here’s a link the see the security cam that took the video (obviously it can rotate 360°)

The reporter says “…you’ll be glad to hear the council quashed the parking ticket.” WTF? That doesn’t make me glad – she parked ILLEGALLY – the parking ticket should STAND!
Indeed, this is a fa- …
FAKE!
I’ve seen this video before, and can confirm that the video camera is not on a fixed pole but mounted on a vehicle, which gets out of the way. In the full length version the operator, once out of the way, turns the vehicle mounted camera around to show the scene of the accident.
Time for a burnout 3 CRASHBREAKER!
Guess the driver had to stay over 50. Damn Wildcats behind the wheel!
NOT THE BLACK PORSHE! NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo!!
it’s not a porshce.
Look if you park your car in front of the bus stop all bets are off, IMO.
gta?
i’d say its a busdriver win!
lol at first I thought the first bus coming down the street was gonna fail!
waz eatin cheezburgersss
CHEEZBURGRZZZZ I TELL YOU!!
omg that was a fail
Anyone notice the bus driver changes the service sign immediatly during and after he crashes into the bus stop, talk about priorities.
this has already been on failblog!!!!
Bus driver! MOVE-THAT-BUS!
Time for a burnout 3 CRASHBREAKER!
lol he played waaaaay too much crashday although the game is old
This is NOT the bus driver’s fault. Buses of this type suffer from sudden acceleration syndrome: the bus driver gently touches the gas pedal and the thing takes off like a rocket for no reason at all. It is a well-known phenomenon here in the UK with this make of bus.
ouch ! not the Porche
spelled PORSCHE…
I think the best part is the ass who parked in the bus lane and 1/2 way on the sidewalk. The car gets creamed. Watch her panic and run right toward the bus shelter falling. She is stupid.
BUT THEN WHO WAS PHONE?!
Whoa, what a twist!
That bus was going on the ‘wrong’ side of the road, I suppose.
good thing that bus didnt hit that… oh wait… it hit that too.
WHY? HOW? FROM WHERE? WTF?
I laughed because there was an advertisement for online drivers ed on the bottom the entire time.
Probably should be called “parking fail” since a car was parked in a bus stop–where it shouldn’t have been.
THIS IS A WIN FOR THE BUSDRIVER, HE SHOWED YOU WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF YOU PARK YOUR CAR ON A DEDICATED BUS STOP. That blonde got what she deserved
Fail?! Moar liek WIN!
Take that, illegally parked yupscum Porsche! And at the hands of a good proletarian bus as well! HAHA!
There is something wrong with this video. I’m not saing it’s a fake, I even noticed an old post providing a link to the news story (http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2646611/Bus-wrecks-Porsche-in-sensational-CCTV-video.html?OTC-RSS&ATTR=News), but look at where the bus comes from.
Before the first bus drives past, there are two buses on the right blocking the path where the speeding bus comes from. After it has passed, there’s only one bus. There is no way that the second bus could move out of the way for the speeding bus so quickly, much less build up the speed to be the speeding bus itself.
Can anyone explain that?
I see what you’re saying, that is kind of strange now that you mention it. I think what happened was the second bus backed up into the street perpendicular to the one it was on and then accelerated forward.
If you look at the 2nd parked bus it moves slightly as the other bus goes past. So the bus that hits the car is the 2nd parked bus, it just accelerated too fast from it’s parking spot. That is why it swung wide across the street.
lol at the end the filmers like, gtfo
greast
Saw this on the BBC news site recently, as in the interests of supreme justice the lady who parked the sports car illegally (which was written off) was issued a ticket/fine for the parking infringment (which is why the camera was there as it had been a notroious spot due to a nearby bank for illegal parking.)
Eventually the local council let her off the fine….
Why did she run towards her car. It was a bit late to move it.
That’s a one-way street. Guy on the bus sees a car heading the wrong direction, starts shooting video. Near, miss, KABOOM. Not a traffic cam, bus cam, etc. Mystery solved.
hmmm should i hit the brakes or the Porsche….lets hit the Porsche, just for kicks.
