that emergency vehicle can still save a lot of lives in poor countries

why the fuck crush it? give it to people and make them take the parts out - easier to sort the raw materials and some parts could be reused, also it would be much cheaper and took less space :/ I will never understand why they don't do this :/ human stupidity is beyond me

You could literally throw wheels on that and drive away. How fucking stupid.  That ambulance would run for 20 - 50 years in CUBA!

@alexbeens nope, I meant to use people to take the car apart, there are lots of people that would work for 20$ a day (well they do anyways, others dont even have that much) and half of the parts could be reused, so why use machines?

[alexbeens]

@draconpost ummmmmm, i think they would of taken the valuable parts out. they just left the chassis to be crushed.

お、これは貴重な映像ですね！緊急車両は一般の解体所ではあまり­見ない気がします。

@ridaz18192002 Sure it could have, but we are a race of wasteful, uncaring and financially motivated people. We don't care that ALL that plastic and fiberglass is going right into a landfill, we don't care that it was a cheap fix to keep it rolling down the road. We just want you to buy more, buy more NOW... We will just keep crushing and packing all the plastic and foam seating and leather/vinyl waste into the earth for your children's children to deal with. You are right, I agree with you :)

Dude.... seriously. I think it would be more efficient just to cut it in half with an angle grinder. Or pick up a car from the pile and squash the an with it. It would've fixed them both in one shot.
