Isn't kind of stupid that on 2:36 the boy wastes his time jumping over the fence when on the side there no gate?

[allgood2000]

Not really. It took all of two seconds.

[wotalot123]

Wats the video after that coming up next?

[allgood2000]

A drunk man holds his young son hostage, and the police try to negotiate. It's a documentary style segment, not a re-enactment.

Why would you wanna break out the front window. First off the front is tougher to break, Sharper, and tougher to get people out than the side window. Makes no sense

[allgood2000]

Probably because you can run up on the hood and stomp the windshield. With the side windows you have have lift your foot up and kick, so it would have been more difficult to get enough force from outside the car. I guess the woman in the car could have lied on her back and tried to kick one of the side windows out.

I don't understand why she just didn't roll down the window and get out that way since the doors were jammed. Looks to be an old enough model that is would have had manual windows,

[davinp]

it looks like one of the old cars where the gas tank easily catches fire when hit. It was a poor design

[NHComputerGeek]

i used to love this show! i hated how the commercials were placed though, right when it gets good, but they always do that...

awesome show!

In the mid to late 70's lincoln was one of the first manufactors to come out with power windows although they didnt have power locks..anyways when ever the engine is stop the power windows dont work unlike today cars where the power runs off the battery then they ran off the alternator.But ya right if there was crank windows she should of just rolled them down....

[alexandermakrianis]

Damn, that sucks!!

[MaxtheMetalhead]

Unlock the fuking door.

[joshguy64]

Cars like that were known as pintos, and most of them had their gas tanks in the trunk area. So if they were impacted from the rear, its a sure guarantee that the car will catch fire instantly or blow up on impact.

[thetreeregimovies]

well, i know how you feel. my chrysler new yorker leaked gas, and burned the house down.

[spike354]

Hey allgood2000 what is the episode where the boy falls through the sand thingy mabober when there was a clog? please respond

[samaraix]

There have been worse designs though, even though that is poor there is a 1980 chevy in my drive right now side impact it's almost guaranteed to blow up, The tanks (dual 25 gallon tanks) are between the body and the frame so when they get hit they rupture, they were aptly names suicide rigs at the time of their recall.
