If some douche bag was tailgaiting my ambo like that trying to skip thru traffic, I'd make sure that dumbass rear ends me and he can pay for my retirement..
@ellievals im from germany and i can say that the infrastructure of athens is very good.Athens has a many big modern shopping malls, cafes, clubs, a big 5 star stadion(76k) and a 3 star stadion. The highways also are good (not so good as in germany but ok). The most cleaniest beaches, very modern museum, the metro is much better than from hamburg and modern, and the centre of athens is also interesting and modern, but a little bit dirtier than from hamburg
@ellievals what you hell you talking? the international airport of greece has connected with a underground?? the airport is new and the bigest one in southeastern of europe? its more modern than the airport of barcelona for example.
Maybe you was on the old airport? And the metro of athens is also modern und very clean not like many metros station in europe
I live in Athens and the truth is that this city has many problems. Traffic, noise, air pollution, drivers' behaviour... But tell me one big city that doesn't have these problems.. The thing about Athens is that many of its people don't love it and so they don't care about Athens. They only think of it as a huge chaotic "hotel" which they are going to abandon when they retire.. So I think it would be a good step to start caring about our city and see how beautiful it can be..
this will hapen in any major western country[i see that in NY in my trip to america and ROME ].DONT FUCK WITH GREECE YOU STUPID IDIOT'S,ATHENS IS A METROPOLIS OF EUROPE,YOU ANDERSTAND?
a'our roads such egnantia and attiki and many others are among the best,we are a very progresive country with trasportation technology[metros,rails,many air ports,trams],strong security society,stratigical position in europe,large trade marine fleet and many others.
we have a good health sistem,modern standards of living,goog GDP[biger from italian],as a modern and strong country we make olipmics[only great and rich country's makes olimpics].
listen all of you: i am greek and i'm proud of my country, the greece is a rich economical developed state a modern state, we have very strong armed forces very good roads[mach better compare to other eu states like england for example].
What a bunch of fuckin' shit heads... if I was the ambulance driver I would've already smashed past all of them including those damn bikers u see riding along side them or behind them... here in Canada we have respectable drivers... and we move the fuck out of the way...
true venedos and nice point ....so if someone dont like Greece or portugal or spain he or she can always move to sweden or somewhere north ....it is so fucking easy now with the european union ....
greece italy spain and portugal....all of them are the same. its not the country its the people. maybe politics dont work well but people are open and welcoming, friendly and funny not like in the north of europe. so....every country has its good and bad.
I don't get it why you don't have any love for your own beautiful,culturic country? Even though it may not has been fully developed you could at least support and give hope for a better GDP increase and developing. The only thing you are doing is critizing your own country with such as negative and hateful comments.

i thought greece belonged to the west and that greeks considered themselves europeans.if you are not you doing well comparing greece with pakistan and bangladesh.however if you are then start comparing yourselfes with other eu countries.
So, I believe that in other civilized countries, cars simply disappear when an ambulance is behind them... Unfortunately, this kind of technology hasn't reached us yet... I believe we should learn from the examples of our eastern and northern neighbours, and their highly cultivated social behaviour!
dear nikvit I have to tell you that your northern neighbours aren't so lazy to go with their car everywhere , they are LESS LAZY THAN GREEKS AND AMBULANCES DO HAVE MORE SPACE TO PASS BY!!!!
Sincerly i like very much Greece because of the beautifull landscapes on the islands, from Olymp Riviera and because of the monuments from Acropolys.I was 2 times in Greece and last time i stayed 5 days in Athens. Big mistake. The traffic is a nightmare, but they have also many other pronlems. i stayed in a hotel in the city center and those streets near Omonia are full of beggars, gipsies, drogs, they stink a lot. In the shops they are afraid of fake money and of rubbers. It is a crazyness.
you should see how it is in bucharest, romania. they don't even dispatch an ambulance unless you have a priority 1 emergency due to traffic. lol once the girl there was telling my dad what to do and he was like miss, i pay taxes to get an ambulance not advise on the phone. priceless haha
In Greece, it's seen as a sign of weakness to let another vehicle get in front of you. Also, saying "Please & Thank You." You must demand, then you receive respect.
This reminds me of Catania in Sicily. I was stationed near the area for a short time while I was in the US Navy. They have extremely heavy trafic problems around that city and virtually no traffic signs or signals (like traffic lights or stop signs). Traffic is bumper to bumper, mopeds weave in and out between cars, emergecny vehicles are ignored altogether.
Είναι ντροπή και αίσχος να προσπαθεί το ασθενοφόρο να περάσει και να μην το αφήνουν. Επίσης ντροπή σε όσους οδηγούς εκμεταλλέυτικαν το γεγονός και το πήραν απο πίσω... Anyway those are events that can happen anywhere.. hope i will never see a video like this.. Who the fuck saied Greece is not a good country?
Is that so? Why we don't see any brain master talking about his hers last vacation in Athens.
You are a freaky child, grow up get some foreign education and do some traveling, then come back and realize how pathetic you was here.
As I said, Greece is fine, in the ocean, in the air, apt to any yacht by chopper, go around the islands, then come back by the same transportation avoiding all of you. Non civilized, non educated people.
Internet is great, even to put out all the ignorance. LOL !!
Went there first time in 1988, hated all the way except for the islands and sea, Athens was horrible, so poor. Well in 2007 went back, just the same, isn't great??? OMG the people didn't change, the traffic is worse and civilized ancient people are lost in history, they are NOT civilized, not enough to be called Europeans, sorry for them, by the way they will have only poor tourists to face all "THAT", or good ones will never return, like me.
Is that english? anyway you are so wrong, but I see your point, blindness.
Do you know any so called civilized city in the world, besides Athens that you think is great?
You are a poor person, with poor feelings, who would be complaining about Athens being from Turkey or Albania?? LOL I'm not european by the way moron... Who cares, you already told us how stupid and small educated you are. You definitely belongs to Athens and Greece.
In a video about an ambulance stucked in traffic you quote bloodlines and heritage. You are nothing short of an attention whore b1tch so get lost once more
Although (having spent quite some time in NYC and living in Athens for the moment) I'd say Athens Urban Area is way overcrowded than Manhattan.. To put it this way: the area of Kypseli alone (the size of The Village) could be about 800.000.. also keep in mind the many narrow streets of the place, making traffic look even worse :) .. Still, Athens isn't small. Statistics may report 3-5.000.000 but it should be over 6.
The roads in Athens are no different in size than most European capitals. You know what's different? Parked cars! Stupid people park left and right, so each road looses a couple of lanes.
Man...I live in Athens and this is sooo true. Some idiots are also getting behind the ambulance(as you can see in this video) so they can go faster...BTW dont think that such a traffic in in Athens every day. This was a very heavy traffic. Cheers :D
Looks like and ambulance trying to get through New York or LA traffic too. Any congested city in the world has this problem. Nothing worse in Greece than here.
Hate to tell you guys but this is normal ambulance vs traffic in a city, nothing special. I'm a EMT, I ride and drive ambulances in situations much like this. If traffic has nowhere to go, like this video displays, then traffic cannot move for an ambulance. It is acceptable! Props to the EMT's who had the sense to keep level headed in a rough response situation, props to Turkey's EMS crews. ;)
Shame! If anything like over here they're probably only going to someone with a cold or bunion!! I like the tail-gaters tho. All it needs is a sharp tug on the handbrake by the ambo and Ooops!!
I mean wtf is it the drivers fault if theres so much fucking traffic?Goverment should prevent things like this.Get a fucking GPS for emergency services for fucks sake
i am greek too, living currently in the U.S. and I feel ashamed because when an ambulance is trying to pass in the States, EVERYBODY with their cars do everything possible to enable the driver of the ambulance to pass..in this video you just watch ti anesthita remalia eimaste kai den mas kaigetai karfi alla kathomaste me to stigaro sto ena xeri kai to timoni sto allo kai ase ton ypoloipo kosmo na kaigetai kai na peithenei!

uuuu look at the so called eu country 2 cars in one lane no laws or police what so ever i guess this is what they call civilization so coool (looks more like a jungle)
my girl is greek she's been to greece she was born there and she witnessed shit like this and she clearly tells me that greeks don't know how to drive and they don't care and do to the videos I've seen thats all true and it is because they don't have traffic laws to obey Leading cause of death in Greece Car accidents pretty sad if you ask me
that's however not acceptable for an EU country: 3:25 mins for an EMERGENCY vehicle to make a few hundred meters. Just imagine the guy inside there dying.. Wut about air-rescue there??? shouldn't it be more widespread, and used daily?
THis is comming from a turk. for fucks sake look at tukey. Turks immigrate to greece on a daily basis because their countries so poor look at the facts! GdP(how much the government has to spend on their people)--turkey-9,240-----------greece- 33,004
your on drugs, your eduction is so bard in tukey that you cannot spell "3rd". poor fucker!
File mou (Greek words for 'my friend'), the point of the discussion was different and the Greek, I am greek too, did not get it so I had to explain. Nothing against Turkey!! So, don't get us wrong! In fact, I respect and I applaud the struggle of a big, progressive part of the Turkish population toward democratization, human rights, European standards, etc.
What I was trying to convey to him is that our country, Greece, shows very poor behavior in this video, and that we should change ASAP mentality and manners as a nation, otherwise, the outsiders we will always compare us negatively with Turkey -I live in D.C. (Greek Embassy) and the Americans, when they want to make comparisons and make a negative point, they always bring the "example" of Turkey despite the fact that it is not yet inside the E.U.
Again, nothing against Turkey, but I find this degrading EXACTLY because of the reasons you mentioned above: Greece ranks 24th in the world index for quality of life and high standard of living, and CIA cites it as a highly developed country! So, our behavior as a nation should be accordingly appropriate.
BUT, IT IS NOT, and that's why I protested and I am not gonna take any more SHIT by uneducated, low-level Greeks who do not want to change the way their brain functions and understands the world and, this way, they create the worst image for our country and doom it to severe criticism by the international community.
If they REALLY love Greece, they MUST seek for this shitty and highly inappropriate behavior and mentality in every day life inside Greece, from the smallest things to the larger and more important picture, to change ASAP! This was the point of the discussion.

As I said, Greece is fine, in the ocean, in the air, apt to any yacht by chopper, go around the islands, then come back by the same transportation avoiding all of you. Non civilized, non educated people.
Internet is great, even to put out all the ignorance. LOL !!

Went there first time in 1988, hated all the way except for the islands and sea, Athens was horrible, so poor. Well in 2007 went back, just the same, isn't great??? OMG the people didn't change, the traffic is worse and civilized ancient people are lost in history, they are NOT civilized, not enough to be called Europeans, sorry for them, by the way they will have only poor tourists to face all "THAT", or good ones will never return, like me.

Is that english? anyway you are so wrong, but I see your point, blindness.
Do you know any so called civilized city in the world, besides Athens that you think is great?
You are a poor person, with poor feelings, who would be complaining about Athens being from Turkey or Albania?? LOL I'm not european by the way moron... Who cares, you already told us how stupid and small educated you are. You definitely belongs to Athens and Greece.
Child, grow up, and go discover the world!

Although (having spent quite some time in NYC and living in Athens for the moment) I'd say Athens Urban Area is way overcrowded than Manhattan.. To put it this way: the area of Kypseli alone (the size of The Village) could be about 800.000.. also keep in mind the many narrow streets of the place, making traffic look even worse :) .. Still, Athens isn't small. Statistics may report 3-5.000.000 but it should be over 6.

The roads in Athens are no different in size than most European capitals. You know what's different? Parked cars! Stupid people park left and right, so each road looses a couple of lanes.

Hate to tell you guys but this is normal ambulance vs traffic in a city, nothing special. I'm a EMT, I ride and drive ambulances in situations much like this. If traffic has nowhere to go, like this video displays, then traffic cannot move for an ambulance. It is acceptable! Props to the EMT's who had the sense to keep level headed in a rough response situation, props to Turkey's EMS crews. ;)

File mou (Greek words for 'my friend'), the point of the discussion was different and the Greek, I am greek too, did not get it so I had to explain. Nothing against Turkey!! So, don't get us wrong! In fact, I respect and I applaud the struggle of a big, progressive part of the Turkish population toward democratization, human rights, European standards, etc.
cat22203 4 years ago
What I was trying to convey to him is that our country, Greece, shows very poor behavior in this video, and that we should change ASAP mentality and manners as a nation, otherwise, the outsiders we will always compare us negatively with Turkey -I live in D.C. (Greek Embassy) and the Americans, when they want to make comparisons and make a negative point, they always bring the "example" of Turkey despite the fact that it is not yet inside the E.U.
cat22203 4 years ago
Again, nothing against Turkey, but I find this degrading EXACTLY because of the reasons you mentioned above: Greece ranks 24th in the world index for quality of life and high standard of living, and CIA cites it as a highly developed country! So, our behavior as a nation should be accordingly appropriate.
cat22203 4 years ago
BUT, IT IS NOT, and that's why I protested and I am not gonna take any more SHIT by uneducated, low-level Greeks who do not want to change the way their brain functions and understands the world and, this way, they create the worst image for our country and doom it to severe criticism by the international community.
cat22203 4 years ago
If they REALLY love Greece, they MUST seek for this shitty and highly inappropriate behavior and mentality in every day life inside Greece, from the smallest things to the larger and more important picture, to change ASAP! This was the point of the discussion.
