Bad Car Pile-Up
- it happened on the
405 freeway , there was night work going on the freeway and they shot down the 2 right lanes , so only 3 lanes were available , and 1 of these 3 lanes were blocked by that van , so only 2 lanes were drivable , nobody bothered to reduce their speed , and that was the result .

- camera man is the problem here
ppl distracted by the sight of someone filming at the side of the road they are watching him instead of looking whats going on ahead. In England we have stuff like this on our motorways (freeways) when idiots slow down in the opposite lane to have a look at an accident and others run into the back of them.

Your abselutly right, cars have somthing called headlights they didn't need hiim waving his camera around like an idiot

- But....
The Mustang had headlights, and that didn't help him one bit. He plowed into the van first.

- tail lights
head lights are on the front, tail lights is what makes car visible from behind unless there is an idiot waving a camera on the other side of the road, of course :)

That's why insurance in L.A. is so freakin' expensive ... too many dumb $hits wanna be Fast and Furious and have no kind of common sense ... this is the result ... people get hurt or get killed and despite of all the warnings on the news and from public agencies ... drivers in L.A. is still driving fast and get to nowhere fast ...

a ) the 101 freeway doesnt have any carpool lanes on it , the van was stalled in the carpool lane , the 405 does have a carpool lane , b ) the 101 don't have any exit on Victory bl , c ) the 101 sign that you're seeing on the board is an exit to take the 101 after Burbank exit and before Ventura exit . This crash happened on the 405 South Bound between Sherman Way and Victory .

That you had Walkers crisps over there in America, I thought it was just a British thing.
Huh, you learn something new every day!
Nice crash though, I would have got out of my car like a shot and got somewhere safe.

probably made the drivers think there was a ghost driver onto the road and so they didn't know what to do. Either crash into the ghost driver or into the tail of the stalled van. Of course, a frontal crash is much worse then a rear crash so they ramed into the van. Also, here in Belgium we have a special lane for cars with troubles so that doesn't happen here. Tss, America... Five lanes to break the law on by speeding and not a single lane that can save 5 cars!

By Mrlol 1157152594 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
The man who is talking while the clip is playing says that when the mustage is hit the second time it is a 'violent' collision. 1) The Car only hits the back of the car giving it a slight bump, the mustages break lights are still working showing it was not that bad. 2) Only injury was a twisted ankel so nothing was that bad, maybe some shock though.
You would of thought that the mustage driver would have seen the lights of the truck in the first place, and the same goes for all the other drivers, but hey, no one is perfect they all just going to have to pay loads, haha.

Now I really felt a shiver goin through my body while seein this! It just looks aweful, but am glad it was caught on tape though!
The funny thing, is that am Egyptian, livin in Egypt, n' it IS a fact that traffic in Egypt is more like a circus or a jungle than it is to traffic! However, you merely see such accidents where there are many cars involved, I think it's simply because people know that the MAIN rule is that there is NO rule, so they just pay more attention to things like a van on the fast lane, or any other situtation that is in "normal countries" unprobable! When you're just drivin on the freeway n' you're sure that nothin like this can happen, when one does, you simply crash into it, cuz you never expect it, but in Egypt, ANYTHIN is expected, n' this really includes anythin that you probably would never imagine! But still such crashes are not usual! I've seen crashes on the american highways where atleast acoupla dozens of cars crash into each other, n' I can only say it's stupid not to see it comin!

Much as I love to drive fast (a 2000 Maxima), IT WAS A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, slow down people! This is why most places in the US double the fines for speeding in a construction zone.
For that matter, did nobody have any of those reflective emergency triangles or road flares? or did this pile up just happen too fast? The video seemed edited for time.

"This highway was paved with a little luck"
First of all if the highway was lucky the van wouldnt have broken down
Second of all if it was paved with luck the other cars would have seen the pile up before hitting it... Come on dude you know this wasnt luck

- Correct.
this is a testament to the incredible safety measures newer cars have in them. Air bags, ABS, etc. No airbags or seatbelts; dead people.

Here's a question for all of you...why was there a camera crew filming the empty van in the first place?
By ckfan 1148673865 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
- I assume they were
filming the road work. Don't know what made them turn the camera around though.
By Printerman 1148745657 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove515175 - 1
so it must be fake, huh??? Set up??? Stupid for coming up with conspiracy theories.
By viva_la-Mexico 1148701044 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI must have missed the part where he said it was fake or a set up. It looked like an innocent question to me.
By Printerman 1148745601 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI wonder why they were there, unless it was for filming the road work, but you would think that would be done in the daylight.
By Frankm 1148698012 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI can only assume it was summer, and therefore very freakin hot during the day. They will usually do the road work at night due to both the heat, and lower traffic volume. In the daytime, this freeway would be a parking lot already, let alone have them close down a lane.

- MIRACLE
Looks like God was with them, because that was a miracle. It just wasn’t their time to die I guess. But they should be more careful especially those rich kids in the fresh mustang they probably were coming drunk from a club or something.

- So I guess modern
vehicle safety had nothing to do with it? Also, you don't have to be even remotely rich to have a mustang. They can run less than $20k for even the 2006 models.

and were was god looking when they creashed? I thought god is everywhere at the same time.
Thas a funny god that let people crash and saves a few lives and then in other countries he let's millions of inocents die... you call this miracle? then you must be amazed with so many miracles going on.
i would of thought the ppl in the mustang would of gotten sandwhiched and crushed to death O.O
By vvbutterflyvv 1148682011 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removevery nice from that little car didnt get beat up by the big one and squashed the van.

If he really wanted to prevent the crash, he would have illuminated the van BEFORE the mustang hit it. This guy is sick. he wanted to capture a crash.
