  • Obvious fake, no motion blur on falling object. No shadow, sound of frying pan hitting a drum stick. The impact of something that heavy and at that speed would be explosive not pitiful. It's convincing at first glance? Physics were off.

  • @Kookas I know right.

  • @scarredxangel And the car drives over that debris like it's nothing.

  • Fake. I mean, c'mon, I think there would have been a reaction to this, but there is none. Fake.

  • Hey! Thanks for 'fessin' up, bro! I do appreciate that!

    Now...I just need your address so I know where to serve the papers. Man, I'm gonna be RICH!!!! Yee haa!

    (grin)

  • Yeh and I was operating the crane, damn shame that!~ Lol!

  • Yeah, it's real. I was IN the car when the weight landed on it!

    I had a headache for almost a whole hour after it happened.

  • Also, there does not seem to be any reaction from the camera operator/ driver. He just runs right over the debris without seeming to flinch. And I think the ground would have shaken enough to be visible in the camera. I also think the weights would have punched into the road surface somewhat, and then possibly bounced back. Instead, they come to a dead stop, and one of them falls on its side.

    But it LOOKS believable, except for those observations.

    Just my two bits.

  • Well. Judging from the distance from the tree where the car was crushed to the location of the crane, it appears that the crane is probably 150 to 200 feet past the tree. So I'd guess that it's fake.

    Also, at :06, you can just make out the bottom of the counterweight at the very top of the screen. The car appears to be already just this side of it. The weights would have to move laterally quite a distance to hit the car.

    Continued...

    Just my two bits.
