  • how did i get to this lol!

  • thumbs up if you are chuck norris

  • Well that was fucken retarded

  • i live super close to the st.lawrences river

  • KENNY FUCKIN POWERS!!!

  • how about next time use a airplane O_o

  • What fucking retard would even think this would work? I mean seriously, you have to be stupid as fuck.

  • american jakass

  • remember,this was the 70s,so they didn't have smooth & sleak cars or powerful Jet Engines.

  • @crystaljon Well it seems like _they_ didn't remember that.......the driver was an idiot, the backers were suckers.The person(s) who built the car had no idea. Those wings just flew off. The road was rough. This was about as silly as it gets right from the start.

  • wow! How could they hire another guy behind his back when they knew that was the first guys dream? Horrable.

  • goat bless him

  • are these ppl idiots?

  • That thing is about as aerodynamic as a rock.

  • Did they REALLY expect to fly this unaerodynamic block of metal 1 mile across a river? Where were they supposed to land anyway? The area they were aiming for was covered in trees. Is it just me, or was this stunt not thought out at all?

  • "And kids this is why kids patience DOES matter..."

  • engineering fail... on their behalf

  • Waste of money

  • damm pussy -_-

  • What did the investors hope to gain back from this? Even if they had succeeded, they spent a million bucks. How was a stunt supposed to pay dividends?

  • @cshubs Was wondering the exact same thing.

  • Ok,who divied by 0?

  • no the problem was the shit car.

  • HES NOT EVIL KNEVIL :)

  • lol there's no 3:51

  • coooll a man save!

  • Now I know where Super Dave Osborne came from

  • but... hes a cowboy!

  • He's not Canadian he's to boisterous

  • Oh you silly Cannies

  • Hey guys, wanna strap these rocket engines I found at a garage sale to my grandmas car and use it as an excuse to get into America?

    Sure.

  • cocaine is a hell of a drug

  • nice ramp

  • well that can't be good.....

    

  • Physics 1 Player 0

  • His first mistake was using a continental.....

  • Even the physics doesn't like illegal immigrants...

  • That's one way to cross the border, the mexicans should take a leaf out of this guy's book

  • Thats not a ramp,its a unfinished bridge.

  • dumb mother fucker

  • They should make the ramp on a 45 degree that one looks like around 70 degrees . besides that , the car is not aerodynamic enough to make that jump , Lol Basic calculation Sigma F=MA With winds+ballistics taken in mind would reach to a conclusion that it's fucking insane to make that jump on that car with those wind conditions , If he would have reached 270 that still would not have helped him , But on the contrary it would've probably killed him .

  • Use a plane next time

  • when did he think for one second, that that would actually work?

  • Stunt driver #1 Ken Carter said, "We can do anything we want to do, if you work hard enough at it." Stunt driver #2 didn't hear the "you" part and didn't work at it hard enough. I think I could do it with a better ramp/paving crew and a much better car.

  • serves him right 4 stealing the other guys fame

  • do it with a Bugatti veyron :D

  • NO word to said

  • 1:05 flintstones car

  • Lol god gave him three chances to back off from it, guess he was too hardheaded.

  • wow that was horrible

  • ''BAAAACK TO THE FUUTUUURE!!!!''

  • This could only happen in an era when most people believed professional wrestling was real.

  • It looks like they threw some fake ass wings on a car and expected it to fly. Still laughing at this fail.

  • (Flying through the air) "I'M GONNA MAKE IT! I CAN HEAR THE CHEERS OF THE PEOPLE ON THE OTHER SIDE! I GOT THIS! THIS IS THE BIGGEST MOMENT IN HISTORY! I WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR THIS! WOOOOOO!!" (Splash) ".......='(......"

  • They forgot one very important thing... aerodynamics.

  • Sooo THIIIIIIIS was the night I was conceived...

  • EPIC FAIL

    

  • It had to be a Lincoln ? :(

    

  • KENNY. FUCKING. POWERS!

  • did he cut his knee open?? :O

  • The car is not heavy enough

  • oh and they failed becuase if you look at the ramp its curved if its curved the car will luanch at that angle and not even out becuase of the opposite force of air hitting the cars under

  • lol if you look at the car you see the wings are just rectangular prisms so theres no aerodynamics on the wings thus no flight because the are doest have lift and drag at the right amount damn rednecks

  • end of your dreams?

    WTF is this dream you fucking beak ass hole

    stupid people

  • ooh maan :D

    

  • skip to 2:17 to see it happen

  • Stupid or not sure as hell he's got some balls...

  • people call them idiots are morons ...lots of people's dream is good salary ,wife ,couple of kids and get old and die ...but some crazy people dreamed/did things that made world interesting

    but they need to give another try

  • THE PLANE WAS ALREADY INVENTED!

  • Ooooo, whats this button do?

  • even if he would come off the ramp with the speed they had in mind, same thing would happen. The parachutes did not relase prematurely. They actually released right on time or this guy would be dead.

  • he makes the jump - and is killed when his car crashes front first on the others side

  • Not exactly the most aerodynamic Bullet in the world.

  • nowadays every little child knows this wouldn't work.....

  • Guys, this isnt the magic school bus. :L

  • in german we would say to him: "Selber Schuld" xD

  • i lold

  • pure idiot

    

  • try to use bugatti/venom gt instead of using this car..

    i think it might crash too..

  • if he would have kept the sweater and cowboy hat on he would have made it i just know it

  • Stupido, cretino, idiota...

  • Wasn't the looping planed?

  • @ 1:09 was that elvis O.o

  • did he really think those wings were gonna be efficient on a boxy 3 tonn vehicle.

  • you see, if that were a 69' charger r/t with the confederate flag on its roof this woulda went fiiiiiiiine...

  • Bill Odie drove a rocket car!!!? ;)

  • They get rockets on a car and still have the guts to ask "Whats wrong", its a dumb idea thats wrong!

  • american army: unindentified aircraft closing in into our airspace, get ready to take it down.

  • You can do anything you want.....as long as someone else does it for you....LOL

  • Cars were never meant to have rockets strapped to them... except for the Batmobile...

  • @jerkmanthing and Flatout 2

  • what a waste of land

  • Canadian Dukes of Hazard. Right thur.

  • was that serious, honestly that is just not possible what a clown

  • Now....What did we learn today kids...?

    

  • @IamKingofInternet car was made in france hurrrrr

  • All the effort and money that went into this and they didn't think to ask a high school B student in science if it would work.

  • what a stupid driver

  • thumbs up if you always read top rated comments

  • that wasn't thought out so well lol.

  • wow. fail.

  • l'amérique a été sur la lune !?!

    on est tout de même en droit d'émettre des doutes

  • if i would find sponsers, id do that in a jetcar with open roof, jump out wben i reach max height, jump out with a wingsuit and land on my feet on the other side.

  • LMFAO, THAT WAS AWESOME!

  • why the fuck are the top two comments the same? lol

  • "How did it fail in seconds" How do you fucking think it failed.

    What dumb fucking retard trys to launch a car off a shitty ramp at a slow speed.

  • respect man respect !!!!

  • The landing site is located at the seen of the crash! lol

  • Look at all the stuff thats falling off the dash.

  • I think they aimed to fly across and land by parachute.

    Problem was, he bottled out - the drogue chute was deployed before the car left the ramp. No way would it fly very far dragging that!

  • at least they did it to a complete pile of crap

  • just so you know the landing pad was on the moon....armstrong built it knowing this guy would come along

  • lol,this guy sure never study any physics+maths before.......

  • @yonghan533 JUST POWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!!!!!!!

  • @yonghan533 neither have i :P

  • @yonghan533 haha so true

  • thumbs up if you were bored and typed in 'explosion'

  • ah theres no landing pad].. taht bastard deserved it.. tried to take someones dream and fame.. he failed.. lolz the one guy is lucky he never achieved his goal.. its like "oooh nvm not doin that anymore.." what comes around goes around

  • ah theres no landing pad].. taht bastard deserved it.. tried to take someones dream and fame.. he failed.. lolz the one guy is lucky he never achieved his goal.. its like "oooh nvm not doin that anymore.."

  • :D 9/25 MAH B-DAY XD

  • wow ur only 4000 feet short ull get it next time

  • Clever way to cross the Rio Grande

  • Where the F was USCIS when this was going on? I didnt see anyone check his passport and vehicle for contraband. O.o

  • 5 years and a dumbass destroys everything...

  • This is plain stupid

  • a true waste of money

  • 1: 44 and then at 2:22 ... KARMA XD

  • i bet the US army shot him dwn cause hes a border hopper

  • thats why on fast cars they have SPOILERS to put DOWNFORCE on the car so the tires can remain on the ground, and deliver that power!

  • -.- If the ramp weren't so high and the wind wasn't so strong he may have had a "slim" chance...a poorly thoughtout plan.

  • What a fucktard.

  • Another successful jump.

    Exactly as planned...

  • cause it's not a VIDEO GAME OR ANIME

  • Almost made it........lol

  • He cracks 8 vertebrae and look at the way they took him outta the car! Nice to have a plan in place

  • @cogicsfhg I take it you don't use airplanes then?

  • Where exactly did they plan to land? I don't really see any landing pad on the other side...

  • @megakid39 the parachute maybe?

  • @alwaysriteneverwrong Parachutes on cars are just to slow them down. It wouldn't really help all that much with landing.

  • @megakid39 There isn't a landing pad. That's what the parachutes were for.

  • i feel sorry for him

    

  • just goes to show you, anything deployed prematurely can result in a negative effect.

  • Its a car, not a Plane....ideot

  • @IMStezPro pretty sure if you ask one theyll say they're candian there brosef

  • @IMStezPro They are North Americans. You have asked if all of the people in 2 continents are this retarded. So my guess would be no =D.

  • Comment removed

  • @chrisWlovespaigeT They are North America and South America. Someone asked if all Americans are this retarded. Someone else said they are not American, they are Canadian.Then the person who asked about Americans said Canadians are Americans because they live in North America. I said they are North American. The way he was saying it sounded like he was talking about both North Americans and South Americans by saying Americans and not meaning Americans from the United States. Hope it makes sense.

  • The Sound by 2:20 ist fucking EPIC :D ;)

  • @IMStezPro they're canadian you idiot

  • @IMStezPro no, just some of them.

  • Why the hell would someone try something like this?! *facepalm* This is why I have no faith in Humanity...

  • what a dumbfuck!

  • no brain damange...

    where there is no brain, there can't be damange

  • HAHAHA XDDD

  • I hope his brain wasn't damaged! Oh right, how could they tell.

  • They should have just let the original driver do it... He knew how to drive the car. lol

  • Why are there so stupid people?

  • @NikosXatsas The irony of your comment is amazing.

  • @NikosXatsas why u cnt talks properlie?

  • @AshKilamande beacuse your mom is at my house come and pick her up!

  • NO I DONT WANT A 4 STAR HOTEL AT A 2 STAR PRICE, I WANT TO WATCH THE FUCKING VIDEO!

  • moron

  • you wouldve been better off swimming dipshit :p

  • BAHAHAHA I can not believe they thought that would work.

  • omg need bigger wings....

  • Oh my god! They killed Kenny! You bastards!

  • Didn't do it huh? I want to achieve his dream! :D

  • It may not have gone right but at least he has a cool story. LOL

  • Like some ACME going to the moon scene

  • take a plane next time :)

  • Comment removed

  • that thing flew as high as bin laden was dropped into the ocean

  • Hilarious. THey could had run the car upto 600 mph it wasnt going anywhere. Those wings were tacked on. I suspect the Mad Candian knew it was a hoax and let somebody else break the bones and get laughed at 35 years later on youtube.
