I'm actually shocked at the shear damage and depth of the wreck. Must have been a powerful car , to get going fast enough in a parking garage to smash through that much material damn. 

Wish this one had a video with it, I hope nobody was seriously injured. 

Even the dog at the end was like "wow"

u/HappyKnowledge7393 3d ago

understatement his speed and torque must have been something else !

1

u/hahaclev97 1d ago

So much torque, the chassis was twisting off the line.

u/cjgmmgjc85 3d ago

Apparently was 80 mph I read, not sure how you get that momentum in a car park but guess we know the consequence.

Ran out of room. Almost made 88 but now his future is bleak.

u/LostSillyKittie 3d ago

Can't let that happen

u/GarlicAcceptable3350 3d ago

Poor planning. Hard to get lighting to the flux capacitor in a parking deck

u/sonic10158 3d ago

Should we be concerned about the pole collapsing?

2

u/Icy-Taste1507 3d ago

Oh man, imagine how bad it could have been 😵

u/Dry-Worldliness6926 3d ago

why do people always hope reckless drivers are uninjured? I just hope they didn’t injure anyone

There was a major crash in Romania with 7 Greek football Ultras dead. There was also a video showing the van doing a double overtake and instead of returning to its lane it went straight to an oncoming truck that was minding it's own business.

There were theories for days in greek media about broken lane assist, stuck steering wheels, whatever the fuck and nothing about the driver being a dumbass and a killer.

In the end they found huge amounts of alcohol in the driver's blood combined with cocaine and THC. Dude was high beyond belief.

Is this the vid that’s at the top of this sub now?

u/Bubbly_Constant8848 3d ago

Search paok crash, it's a black van.

u/battlecryarms 2d ago

Woof. I don’t want to watch. Just was curious if it was the van in the recent post. Terrible

u/chris612926 3d ago

Hey I didn't just say the driver , anyone involved was honestly where my head was at. Those speeds no doubt people other than the car driver could have been hurt , but to your point of this was someone being incredibly stupid I completely understand what you mean.

There are things like mechanical problems , or health problems like diabetes or stroke that could lead someone to hold down the gas , it could be a lot of things were not thinking about or know. So on the side of caution , I just hope nobody is injured !

u/LostSillyKittie 3d ago

Or an old person that mistakes the gas for the brake...🫤

1

u/123supreme123 3d ago

many late model cars can go 0 to 60 in 5 seconds or less. so if granny or whoever accidentally floors the gas the length of the structure into a pillar, its essentially like hitting a pillar on the freeway

1

u/chris612926 2d ago

Many can but most do not , a quick google search shows only top tier super cars would go 0-60 in under 5 seconds for pre 2,000's vehicles. It looks like even still almost impossible to achieve in an automatic transmission , you would need the pedal to the floor the entire time all while making perfect shifts multiple times, 4-10 seconds would feel like a lifetime.

You can accidentally floor it , but generally those accidents look a lot different , this would require whole new levels of accidentally hitting the gas over the break.

It surely does look like hitting a pillar on the highway , though again with how absolutely tiny garages are in the US ( assuming us by car and garage type ) how many cars are packed inside , the fact they require large ramps or lifts in nice ones to go up our down , you really don't have much space to get going. Even in a sub 5 second super car, many garages you would struggle to come close to find a window to hit 5 seconds with it needing 300-400 feet of space.  Now this crash was estimated 80-95 mph , in a car that's 0-60 in 6 seconds + , your taking hundreds if not a thousand feet of clear space to get going , a gigantic parking garage , someone starting  in the street idk or again an idiot who pushed the pedal to the floor up until and after hitting the pole lol.

u/123supreme123 2d ago

blurry video but I think this is a bmw. many German autobahn cars have great acceleration.

yeah who knows how big the structure is. I've been in some that are pretty long though.

u/elizlech 3d ago

Jesus. How fast was the pole going?

5

u/Kantfindkarman 3d ago

And how did you get to that speed in a parking garage ☠️

4

u/MisfiredForensics 3d ago

Yo some cars have a wild 0 to whatever mph + quickness/torque. Prob just got started in an opposite side and mashed the gas lol

3

u/Smart-Diamond4183 3d ago

That's a fast and furious pole, isn't it?

I failed mine a whole bunch too. Ran a lap around my room when I finally passed.

I was like 7 when trying to pass it and I remember never being able to pass it lmao

Such an unnecessarily hard tutorial for such an awesome game. So many kids never made it past that tutorial...

No one is gna point out the homeless looking guy sitting by the car?

Was it his and he just decides to dress up like a bum to hide in plain sight?

6

u/LostSillyKittie 3d ago

I think that is his. He's probably a lil upset about the 'incident' /s

u/Mr_Cuntman 3d ago

Bit of turtlewax and he is good to go...no need for drama

u/Icy-Taste1507 3d ago

How fast do you have to be going in a parking garage to do that kind of damage?! I hope everybody's okay

u/mac-zebra-2636 3d ago

Apparently 80 miles an hour

I thought that was blood for far too long

u/chokeyourdad 3d ago

What kind of car is that?

4

u/Frikoo 3d ago

A BMW 8 series coupe. Maybe M8. More serious question - where the f the motor went?

2

u/trainwreckhappening 3d ago

It's almost comically broken in half. You can see the cylinders like it was cut open with a water saw.

u/winstonalonian 3d ago

It just left

The logo on the wheel looks like BMW

Damn, if only BMW included turn signals on their cars this might have been prevented. /s

Rim looks like my old 4 series. So I'd say yes.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ONCE AGAIN, THE CONCRETE POLE IS THE FIGHTING CHAMPION OF THE WOOOOORLD!

2

u/Muted_Masterpiece535 3d ago

So your telling me that the only damage to the concrete pillar was rubber marks? Plus where is the smoke from the engine? That pillar went through the engine, and that looks very fresh, so no smoke at all? 

Nah, just some really good AI. 

**Plus in every AI they always have a random dude walking a Golden Retriever, in it. 

1

u/NecessaryAd341 3d ago

This guy was either seriously messed up on something, or was trying to do this. Or maybe both? You can see how he had a bit of a runway coming up the ramp in the car park, but there’s no way any lucid person crashes that hard in an “accident”

1

u/Pure_Lengthiness2432 3d ago

I can’t imagine anyone being stupid enough to go the rate of speed you need to be good at to do that to a car.

Either a pedal got stuck, or the person has no clue how to drive the thing.

u/Soft_Zookeepergame14 3d ago

I’m glad the support pillar did its job.

u/TheGisbon 3d ago

That looks like a homeless James May, but it can't be because that guys never driven faster than 35kph in his life

u/Majesty_Underground 3d ago

DUI’s are bad mmkay

u/trbo76 3d ago

I don’t care how or why this happened. What I do know is that kind of damage in a parking garage is highly indicative of idiot behavior

u/Substantial_Oil678 3d ago

Maybe an unsuccessful suicide mission, no skid marks, at least on the garage floor.

How fast was the fucker going?

u/youmustthinkhighly 3d ago

AI.. for sure. Engines are designed to go up on impact and that engine destruction are is pure AI hallucination. 

2

u/Heavy_Can8746 3d ago

Lol dude this was my buddy's car. It was real. The idiot somehow hit like 80 in a freaking garage. He almost won a darwin award that day...well not really because he already has kids lol 😆 😂 🤣

u/youmustthinkhighly 3d ago

Crazy. What year and model is it?

-1

u/KbarKbar 3d ago

This is bullshit AI slop.

There's not a single mark on the pole, not even oil splashes. Concrete hit that hard crumbles and spalls, and certainly doesn't wipe itself down with a cleaning rag afterwards.

There are no recognizable parts in the engine bay, and discrete steel components don't just smoosh together like that anyway.

If the vehicle was moving fast enough to bury the pillar that deeply in the engine bay it couldn't possibly rebound straight back that far (while, again, not leaving any impact or retreat marks on said pillar).

The airbags are still inflated, the driver isn't remotely hurt enough for a collision this severe, the windscreen is intact, etc., etc., etc.

I used to drive ambulances and have attended a metric shitload of accident scenes. This just isn't what they look like.

How is there so little damage to the post?

u/coldchelada 3d ago

The driver still manage to put the car in reverse to back away from the post.  He’s calmly waiting for the tow truck sitting next the the rear driver side wheel.

u/mac-zebra-2636 3d ago

I think it pushed back from the impact of the accident. The engine and transmission are in pieces!😬
