After watching the crash: why the fuck was there not an absorption barrier there? I feel like probs would’ve been alive if there was something to absorb the shock.
Even a normal speed collision with that barrier would fuck pretty much anyone up.
The other side of that road is a steep mountainside. You’re not supposed to be going this speed on a winding mountain road. Are they supposed to build racetrack compliant buffer zones here for the safety of random millionaires who insist on showing off their latest $400k toys?
Watching the video 30 more times I don’t think any barrier would’ve saved them but I STILL think that particular barrier is dog shit. It is effectively a brick wall. No absorption. It would kill someone going the speed limit if they hit it wrong. I don’t see how hitting the mountain would’ve been worse lol
If I had to guess I’d say the barrier was cut short because maybe this has happened before it if hasn’t been repaired yet. The barrier needs to extend far closer to the tunnel so cars hit it from the side and not head on. It is literally acting like a bollard not an absorption barrier lol
I think more warning signs could help here. This is another video of a crash at that same spot, but the driver goes off the side of the mountain instead (and survives): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5NWcdq4Wf4
Watch from about 1:15. The combination of the dark tunnel opening up to sudden bright sunlight is also a big factor. Also, at the speed that Zampella’s Ferrari was going, fatality was inevitable either way.
Yeah falling rocks makes more sense. Surprised with a complete lack of signage in that area though. Guess that’s what happens when you go driving in Narnia.
The worst part is that is the passenger. Yet again the dipshit driver gets the immediate release of death while their victims are left to suffer tens of minutes if not longer. Fucked.
the car kind of zaps into existance way after the tunnel. the camera work is way too smooth considering what happened if compared against known videos of people filming this happen. also ejected guy gets dragged away with his legs in a sitting position but on his back. Shit’s off

He has no legs when getting dragged away. You’re seeing a stump. He’s in his seat still, the entire seat was ripped from the car.
Everything else looks like auto stabilization built in modern smart phones imo. The biggest tell it’s real is looking where all the people are at the start and where the end up when they get to the crash. Watch the shadow of the guy to the left. AI ain’t good enough yet to capture that
I’m looking at it frame-by-frame and it seems legitimate. There’s a guy wearing a YoungLA t-shirt and the text is stable and not warping as the camera wips to the left to follow the car. The car’s headlights are visible in the dark of the tunnel before entering the light as well.

That barrier is to stop falling rocks ending up on the road.
Guy was driving like an idiot, most likely to hear his exhaust sound in the tunnel. FAFO I guess. It’s the murdered passenger I feel bad for.

Pulling half a body away from that crash, jesus

this seems pretty obviously AI generated to this guy
Not seeing it tbh. No dogs coming to the rescue.
is this a bit. Like genuinely asking
The dogs coming to the rescue part was a joke but I don’t think the video is AI. could be wrong
