  • Buy fucking snowtires for the vinter...

  • @Gymmarn Do you even live here? Last year when this all happened the ice was so bad you couldn't step outside without needing a pair of ice skates. Making me rage.

  • @420Vali actually this is at the bottom of the south hill (downtown) these people were downtown and their house was on the south hill.... theres other routes but they are just as steep or steeper. the year that this happened we got like 4-5 feet of snow so..... ur wrong and stupid and need to learn your facts before you go making fun of people about there driving skills.

  • local authorizes dont even bother dropping salt.. wtf when I walk outside giant trucks always dropping salt in my neighborhood. wouldn't wanna live in this shit hole paying taxes for nothing. I guess that doesn't matter though, all the damage here isn't worth a few grains of salt

  • This is absolutely pathetic. I've driven on glare ice before too, which is what this may be. First off....im not sure why so many people are trying to drive up such a steep hill and not taking a different route. two...this is why people need to be taught elementary car control skills.

  • Hey, if that one car could amazingly avvoid that crass why couldnt everyone else do it? The car was going way faster than all of the other cars and still avoided the pile up.

  • @LtFoeHammer Douche. As if you have any knowledge whatsoever behind this pile up. Just makes all the smart ass comments

  • Hahaha it's funny how I'm going there 2maro

  • That was insane! What street was that on? I live in Spokane as well and I have never seen something so bad!

  • Is it bad that I was laughing?

  • 0:47 .. That car was beasting it!

  • Comment removed

  • The problem is people not knowing HOW to drive in snow and ice, or knowing when to not try. Think your 2-wheel drive Acura with bald tires is going anywhere? You should have your license suspended until the roads thaw for the sake of everyone else.

  • @LtFoeHammer In Spokane, driving in the snow is a fact of life. This was an unusual situation where a THICK layer of black ice was covered by a couple of inches of snow. Normally they'd make it up this hill in a couple inches of snow just fine.

  • @Valyn66 It's still a poor judgment call. If I saw a half dozen cars in a heap at the bottom of a snowy hill I wouldn't try my luck. The bottom line here is that they're causing property damage because they can't control their vehicles. Responsible drivers pay attention to road conditions, especially in hazardous weather.

  • @LtFoeHammer Mmm, yes, the internet hindsight is lovely, isn't it? You think you're actually solving or even affecting anything with the comment, "Oh, well, duh, they should have known. I would have known. Because that's how amazing I am?"

  • @Valyn66 If I wanted to change the world I wouldn't be posting on Youtube. And frankly, yes they should have known. It really is about being responsible, knowing the limits of your vehicle and knowing alternate routes to wherever you need to go. I've seen pileups like in the video firsthand and I don't blame the weather. I doubt anyone injured by one of these drivers would disagree with me.

  • @LtFoeHammer And I lived in Spokane for the first half of my life. Driving in the snow is a normal, routine occurrence. Flash freezes cleverly disguised by a 30-minute burst of fresh snow is NOT.

    Bad things happen in extreme weather driving. Instead of criticizing people in the absence of any contextual information, perhaps you should keep your petty "judgement calls" to yourself.

  • I used to drive on ice, before I took an arrow to the knee.

  • that was kinda selfish for that guy to move out of the way so those other people would get hit... 1:02

  • @KillYourTeeVee ....................no shit. If I had a choice I would get out of the way so my car wasn't fucked up.

  • winter sucks in spokane! last winter really sucked and these are all the jackasses that think all seasons that are siped are going to gelp on ice.. studded tires help avoid shit like this

  • Haha the truck at the end tries to floor it

  • ha i live in spokane. winter sucks here.

  • o, and btw, south hil drivers r amazing cuz we get so much ice and snow, and we cnt help but slip

  • @nashisbeastmodeya Just look out for me. Just moved here last month and I'm up on 35th Ave. on the South hill. I came from the Tri-Cities so I'm only used to like 3 inches of snow... I think I might just go around the block this year and just walk everywhere else. lol

  • @DesertEMT haha yeah, i was jokin we r terrible drivers, you won't be alone, and thats right by my house!!!!

  • go spokane!!!!!!!!! best city in the world

  • Its funny how we get these conditions in washington every year and people still dont know how to drive in it! lol

  • Anyone Notice The FedEx Truck? 0:24 What A Beast Of A Driver :P

  • hahaha!!!! go spokane and go South hill!!

  • @W4Rcrimes wooooo!!!!!!

  • o hey I m in this video... you can't see me though cause I didnt take this road lol

  • @johnskel002 i will keep that in mind. never seen or been in snow. either way im in for a complete change.

  • so this is what i have to look forward to when i move there this year. im fucked.

  • @FloridianAsshole22 naw ive lived in sppokane for 15 years and have never been in a winter accident, and the pile up in the video is on the south hill which is only a small part of spokane, just dont go to that area in the winter and youll be fine lol

  • @johnskel002 south hill is the best, go saxons

  • Ha! Freya and Thor hill FTW. God I hate this town, but at least its entertaining every winter when half the population forgets how to drive in the snow.

  • @THECHRISTMASDEMON These must be women. I've never seen anything like this happen and every guy I know drives just fine. women that I know...

  • @THECHRISTMASDEMON You're thinking of Seattle... There's like a roll over every day there.

  • the south hill is the wealthier part of town, therefore, a lot people from bigger cities live up there and they are impatient and don't want to slow down or take safer longer routes. they do not heed warnings about how bad the roads get in the winter, especially the steep roads on the south hill. I have never had a problem driving anywhere because i know how to navigate my car in this weather and i will take the longer safer route.

  • @85mariapatricia So true. most of the time the South Hill gets closed though.

  • come on them - let it drip baby!

  • my b day

    a  i live there

  • my b day

  • There's nothing "ignorant" about it. A car + a hill + ice = out of control. I don't care who's driving or what kind of car your driving. Every commenter hear would have crashed as well.

  • @marshallguy301 Ignorance was a factor because civilians had been warning these people not to continue down the road & to take other routes down the South Hill. These people ignored their warnings & continued anyway. The civilians ended up creating their own roadblock before the police got there. So yes, these people were ignorant & stupid drivers. I live there lol.

  • @marshallguy301

    How come I didn't?

  • typical spokane drivers. i have lived in many places and have never ever seen as many stupid drivers as I have in spokane wa. rain, snow, perfect sunny dry weather, it doesnt matter. they are ALL complete idiots! every single time I leave my house, be it a short trip to the store or across town, I always have to avoid at least 1 or 2 times being broadsided, rearended, etc from the idiots! when you get to a 4-way stop it can take 5 minutes for the idiots to figure out who goes.

  • looks like Freya

  • hey guys. i live just outside of spokane, about 16 miles away. i stepped out the door and slipped right on my ass. it sucked!! school was canceled for two days, though.

  • just buy a subaru....

  • this is a complete display of ignorance. As a resident of spokane for several years, i can confidently say that this shows that people ignore the conditions and the risks and do dumb things regardless. All Spokane residents are well aware of how the weather effects our commute, yet still use little or no thought process in their travels.

  • i live in spokane i wittnessed the whole thing

  • @GOLLYSKYWOOD2 "A tire (in American English and Canadian English) or tyre (in British English, New Zealand English, Australian English and others)"

    Chanes was a mistake, but who asked you? Go do smth with your life and stop making ironic comments on the net.

  • is that the FREYA hill???

  • @spluesh lots of bad Drivers

  • Holy damn my mom was over there lol

  • I live in spokane

  • @mckeen771 Me too CHEERS! This winter was a cakewalk!

  • @mckeen771 Im planning to move there, I live in Miami right now, Whats it like?

  • YO , i live in Arkansas but im coming to Spokane for the summer....anything i should know????????

  • @TheMrjonesOf2010 Summer is beautiful here, late June- Mid August are very hot, hitting low 100's and our winters are frigid cold and usually a good amount of snow..

    BTW, this video was shot on a day where we had freezing rain and Spokane's south hill is steep, compare it to most of San Francisco.

  • @TheMrjonesOf2010 thanks ! :D

  • Isn't ice lovely

  • it looks like snow.... but there is about an inch and a half of ice on this hill..... no one knew it was there until they were already sliding!

  • Snow tires, anyone?

  • I live in Australia so don't have this problem. What happens with all these crashed cars? Do insurance companies pay out for damages and is there dispute at who is to blame?

  • I drive school bus here, Spokanites are some of the rudest and dumbest drivers anywhere I have lived, many run the stop sign on my bus, cut us off, and most of them are SUV's and Dodge diesel dufus pickup owners that are aggressive and cannot stop for red lights, speed and fail to use turn signals. If these drivers are so dumb as to keep going down this hill and pile up like that, no wonder Spokane is full of so many that are not that bright...Ay Naku!

  • Make that diesel smoke!

  • holy crap i remember this i was there when the nice car almost crashed but didnt!

  • @xXSKOUTXx

    You think Ford Fusions are nice? lol

  • They just keep piling up, lol

  • I want a guy to stuff my freezer with some frozen meat lol

  • The driver at 0:50 does right, the others can't drive on snow.

  • Bumper Cars, any1! =) LOL

  • @PunkrockChick7382 no. get a life!

  • this video is the shit.!

  • I'm sure most of the people who are calling the people in this video stupid have never driven in snow. Spokane gets snow all the time. People drive up hills all the time. Stuff like this doesn't happen every day in Spokane. These people are not stupid for driving in the snow, they probably actually have jobs to get to, unlike most of the retards that are calling them stupid.

  • @SarahAMD Hehe well put

  • @dyslexicpimp That Avalance is Actually a GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax Diesel. Avalanches are a bit different and do not come with a diesel engine option. Either the 5.3 Vortec or the 6.0 Vortec V8.

  • BUNCH OF RETARDS

  • Trick is to not slam on brakes because when you do, you're tires lock and you can't control were your going.

  • Only the person at 0:50 have a driving license in this video.. LOL!

  • Wow - What street is this so I know to avoid it!!! Love spokane - hate the icy hills.

  • Yeah the only smart one has front wheel drive and is at :50. But this sort of thing happens in this area because they are not used to or prepared for snow and ice. Its uncommon, so nobody has studs or chains.

  • lol

  • Idioti, postvte sverhu cheloveka, pust ostanavlivaet mashini!!!!!!

  • lol this is the only video with anything to do with spokane with over a million views.

  • for waht a hell they dont stop??

    see snow? dont power on your cars!!!

  • god damn i don't want to live here! it's a nice place but damnit the weather is horrible!!! BTW that guy's HHR got reamed by that truck.

  • dumb people.... look at 0:50 how to do it.

  • @argenta86 dude, spokane has snow like nowhere else. when it snows, it's fridgid afterwards, so the snow has crystals, making traction pretty much impossible.

  • @TOMMEENTSMAXDFAN yeah, but i guess the key in this situation was keep the traction going on and manage to get out like the guy i mentioned. Anyway not too easy... but some of were too dumb

  • @argenta86 all i'm sating is you can't get traction when the snow's like that. that guy was lucky.

  • @argenta86 Dumb people, understand it's Ice, not snow, and hope you have better tires the next time you lose control down a hill..

  • thats why i drive a manual

  • Be careful out there!

  • Im from spokane, and I watched this live on the news from cancun. merry christmas! haha

  • thats why toyota tacoma rules look at minute 1:27  till finish it handles very good

  • It's funny how non-Americans are so prejudice against Americans, calling them stupid and prejudice pricks! I NEVER see American bashing Europeans and their countries (except the French, but who doesn't?). unless provoked American's are far nicer than Europeans and Asians, on the internet at least. And I have been to America, the people there were the most polite, kind and hospitable I have ever met. Anywhere I went strangers greeted and asked how I was. Doesn't happen much to me in Europe!

  • hurray for dumb Americanz!!

  • Scandinavia FTW. Everything works, pretty much regardless the amount of snow we have here

  • @moffe247 Yeah, going real great in Bornholm, Denmark now.. No problems with the snow there....

  • @moffe247 it has nothing to do with snow, it has to do with rain and then freezing temperatures freezing that rain and creating black ice on steep hills, you try driving on that.

  • @FlamingLavaOwl

    Had it last night. Studded tires, ice = no problem.

  • You'd think the people would take another road.

  • I dont know why people make horrible racist comments back coz it just makes you as bad aa the people who started it. And god this is a video about cars losing control on a hill and theres people being racist? lol

  • @Leanneldok21 It's Pathetic!

  • What the fuck does any of this racist shit have to do with this video? ...morons!

  • this look fun!

  • There Weren't Really Any SUVs In This Video So What Are All The Racists Talking About? 4 Wheel Drive Is Good For Any Situation But You Can't Drive Anything On Pack Ice And On A Steep Gradient. I Guess The Combination Of The 2 Caused This.

  • @Howaboutno2007 finally a voice of reason!

  • jakjakjakjakjakjakajkjakjakaja­jkajkjakajkajkajkajkjakajkajja­jakjaj........

  • jakjakjkajkajkajkajkjaakjkajka­jkajkjajakjakajkjakjakjakjakja­jjakjkajakjkajjajkakja........­..............................­..............

  • jakjakjakjakjakjakjakjakjakjka­jkajkajakjajkjkaja

    

  • ehh uhh im going to make it IM GANNA MAKE IT ...... AWW DAMNIT

  • man idk if that mad snow and ice on the road sure i could do it or if the ice was some what melted id probably get traction if all that was black ice aww man that would be exciting id still find a way to avoid hitting other cars lol

  • Comment removed

  • spokane washington, the indians used to call it this , it means ''children of the sun'',well not any more eh americans? i am sure you lot who live there now throw the native americans a bone ever now and then down on the reserve in the form of alcohol and drugs to keep their minds preoccupied and off their brutal diminish.

    isnt washington a big slum anyway or is that just dc, id sure hate to be none white and living in dc?

  • @nobberING ...You might want to check up on your geography (not that many Americans know it anyway). Washington State (where Spokane is) is on the west coast. Washington D.C. (the capitol) is on the east coast. Completely different. And most people living in DC aren't white and don't speak English, so you'll stand out more if you're white and speak English and will probably be considered a tourist (my friend's family had to stop at 7 gas stations in DC just to find someone that spoke English).

  • @SadisticSenpai61

    but americans are tourists , really. you like to visit other countries and if you like them you invade and occupy by means of over throwing the evil terrorists and inflicting the wounded country with corrupt americanised western ways , like eating a maccy d's for breakfast.

    lunch , dinner and supper.

    and talking funny.

  • Comment removed

  • People are just so fucking stupid ...

  • to those who are bashing americans...not all of us are idiots, some of actually hate what our country is doing....innocent by standers. as for this video, have seen this happen with my own eyes in germany.

  • Hey! Let's all stop ripping each other about our country's, and just enjoy the joy that winter brings. :D

  • The real idiots are the folks sitting around watching this. Why did someone not run up that hill and warn drivers not to go over the hill?

  • damm only good part of this video is hearing that duramax

  • @nobberING Wow, how fucking ignorant.

  • @nobberING TROLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

  • @nobberING Troll fail.

  • @nobberING

    fail troll is fail

  • @nobberING - Yep thats exactly it. Moron. Im not american either so fuk u.

  • @420Honey

    yes it is , first the native americans, then the middle east , then the world.

  • @nobberING - Hey if you can, why not? Don't blame the states for what you don't have. And yeah I am sure many non whites are being killed as I write this by the american war machine. Do I give a fuk? Nope.

  • @420Honey I used to care that Americans where being killed. But then i remember they all signed the contract to fight for America.. While people bitch, thier wifes buy shit they don't need. It's fucking funny to be honest. But then you have people like nobberING. I bet that is a 15 year old fat ass kid that hates the world.. They probly set up thier youtube account to make it look like they are not fat little white cunt mad at the world.

  • @BIueCameI

    Any chance you could write that in a manner that can be understood?

  • Comment removed

  • @nobberING YAWN

  • @nobberING nobberING? nice name troll boy. It's funny how losers like yourself think people take you seriously. But i would like to thank you for sharing your raciest opinion. You should look up ignorance it defines you. As for fat people well get off your ass, and stop reading retarded comments on the internet.

    

  • @BIueCameI

    rac·ism

    1.

    a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

    2.

    a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.

    3.

    hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

    now that i have spelled it out for you can you please explain why you think i am a racist?

  • @nobberING Anyway, Britain Is The Fattest Place In Europe! So, Hypocrite Much. Now I Have Tired Of Your Antics And I Will Shortly Shut My IMAC Down And Exeunt To My Nissan Maxima And Take A Short Drive Down To Seattle Where I Will Meet My Sister In Blue Water Taco Grill On Queen Anne Avenue. I Bid You Good Day. Peace Out Washington State!

  • @carocarotho

    That may be true but I am not british. Be careful in your datsun, its quite obvious Americans are either too fat to drive safely , or too stupid. Usually both. Enjoy your taco's. Que tengan un buen día.

  • @nobberING If You're Not British Then Why Does It Say Your Country Is The UK? And I Will Enjoy My Datsun It Goes Like Shit Of A Stick! =) I'm American And I'm Not Stupid! So Don't Judge Before You've Heard The Verdict!

  • @carocarotho

    What makes you think you have to be british to live in the uk?

    stupid american. Datsun's do go like shit off a stick , cos thats what datsuns are , shit , falling off the end of a shit stick. I suppose its an improvement on those stupid big american gas guzzling tanks, its hardly surprising you lot need to go to war over oil pipelines with all the gas those road boats you drive use.

  • @nobberING For Crying Out Loud! You Are So Racist! With Your Attitude You Will Go Nowhere In Your Life, You're Pathetic And I Have Had Enough Of You! Goodbye!

  • @carocarotho

    stupid american. i bet if i had oil under my back yard you wouldnt have had enough of me.

    you would fund some terrorists to over throw me then if they didnt play ball , which you know they wouldnt , you would use a bull shit excuse such as a war against terror or weapons of mass destruction to over throw them and take my oil. now that really is pathetic. lets hope iran gets some nuclear weapon capability soon , that would be interesting.

  • @nobberING Well They Hate The UK (Where You Live) Just As Much As The US, So WMDs Will Be Arriving At Your Door Also, This Will Follow With The Demise Of All The West. That's A Horrible Thing To Hope For. And The UK Needs Oil Just As Much As The US (As I Have Noticed On The News) And Why Do You Use Youtube To Vent Your Prejudice and Discrimination. It's All Good And Well You Being Safe Behind Your Monitor. So Think Before You Make Statements Please... Discrimination Is Wrong!

  • @carocarotho

    Thats just paranoia bred into you by your government to justify them killing thousands of innocent people to give you your consumerist wasteful lifestyle. No body in the middle east was a threat to america until you started bombing them for their oil and meddling in their affairs.

    do some research before having an opinionl. look up 'john pilger the war you dont see'', thats as good a starting point as any. if your not part of a solution your part of the problem.

  • @nobberING Oh Well Its People Like You Shouting Prejudice Around That Caused The Holocaust! My Argument Is Not About The Personal Vendetta You Have For The US, Its The Fact That You Are Prejudice! It's 2011, You Shouldn't Be Prejudice Anymore - Surely We Can Learn From History!...

  • @nobberING I don't get how you can type this. nubberING " @BIueCameI Any chance you could write that in a manner that can be understood?". Coming from the guy that don't know proper english.. LMFAO I didn't miss spell a single word. You did. LOL I used the proper caps. YOU didn't. You are without a daught the worst fucking troll youtube. Really you are. I one last thing? Can you tell how to WRITE with pen while online? I'm sure you know how, you told me to do it. ROFL fucking stupid cunt.

  • @BIueCameI

    First off, your american so i wouldn't expect you to be able to talk properly.

    ''coming from the guy that dont know proper english'' that's priceless, you sound like rocky.

    doubt is not spelt ''daught'' , I might be the worst fucking troll ON youtube, ''Can you tell how to WRITE with pen while online?'' please fill in the missing words then get back to me, you sound like a cave man.

    and you are calling me a stupid cunt? priceless. A true ambassador for your kind.

  • @nobberING I'm glad you're not American too!! Your spelling sucks and your grammar is terrible! We have enough idiots here... as you can see from the video.. we don't have room for another dumbass like yourself!!!

  • LMFAO - the truck in the end was funny...nice attempt, though. I wonder if these people had winter-tyres on their cars. However, in SOME situations, even those wont help any more (ice on the road and such).

  • If only it snowed like that were I live I would laugh and point at these people

  • Car pile!

  • Niggas is getting ripped in da ice

  • 00:46-01:00 now that's called driving !!

  • I'm sorry I hope no one got seriously hurt but that was funny!

  • Wow thank god it never snows in my country :)

  • Maybe go to top of hill and tell people not to go down it, instead of filming? Retard.

  • People from the North are always bragging about how they can drive on the snow. NO ONE drives well in icy conditions. NO ONE

  • Scary!

  • Homer Simpson is going to be the next president i hear
