Yep, blasting past a braking vehicle blissfully incurious as to why it is braking - drat that truck really hosed him over.

One of the most hilarious things I've ever seen when driving by an accident (by my calculation via notification from google maps, it had been at least an hour since accident) where a guy rolled a new tow-behind RV and destroyed his truck going into the ditch. When I was at the scene the police and tow-truck drivers were already there planning out a way to get it out of the ditch/field it was in.

As I slowly creeped by in traffic, I looked over to watch the damaged gate fall off the bed of the truck. Had a good :lol:.

If you do a google image search there are more on some crappy Chinese site. It looked like a pickup truck was carrying some of these GIANT SAW BLADES and either they just fell out, or the gate opened, or something.

That is the least-perturbable cat ever. Any of mine would have gone absolutely bonkers and likely fallen to their deaths within seconds. Or else retreated into the wing and maybe shredded the poo poo out of it.

I think most cats would do the "cling on tightly and meow" thing. Like when they're stuck high up a tree.

Never bothered to read the video title and just assumed one of them didn't buckle properly. Skipped ahead to 1/2 way point after nothing was happening and. . . :catstare:

Yeah, but that guy's ears are forward or to the side rather than laid flat, and he hangs his paws over the lip and just kind of looks around and is chill.

A good cat.

Probably not. They hit terminal velocity pretty fast and after that it doesn't much matter how high they are:

It's for handicapped people who might find it hard to get off the toilet in difficult weather and would want to signal for help. What's strange about it?

Possible, though I've never seen a call for attention button quite like that before (nor a ferry toilet with a call for attention button at all).
The only other reasonable explanation is that it's a means to close the intake seacock or something.

The intake sea cock, if there were one (that's probably a vacuum toilet) would not be anywhere near a toilet and would not be in any way remotely possibly controllable by passengers anywhere. Passengers don't get to control shitfuck. Passengers are stupid as gently caress. The only thing you can control from a bathroom is the flush.

It's a call button. They probably had to replace it at some point and just grabbed an emergency stop button.

I think there's at least 4 cars that had drivers take some insanely quick action. At the very beginning, there's a car on the right side that looks like its spinning out in the grass.

I've been a passenger in that kind of situation before. Another goon and I were heading back to my house from an airsoft game, and it was already night by the time we got to my end of town. We're going down a nearly empty road, with the nearest headlights or tail lights a good half mile away. We're driving a good 40-50 MPH.

And some moron waits until we're passing under a green light before crossing the road.

Thankfully Deviant has very quick reflexes and a good hatchback and he swerved into the gap between the guy's stupid rear end and the median.

The car spinning into the ditch may have been rear-ended at speed by the large orange van or truck that appears at the end.
