The amazing and cool video thread

Maybe, but they wouldn't quite have been expecting something like that....even though they should have been expecting and being trained to deal with situations like that. Additionally this could have been an event which lead to the safety standards being what they are now.

This does look quite dated, the cars and everything so it may have been a few years ago.

I mean, in the 50s to 80's in F1, drivers often would be the first one on the scene before the marshalls to help their fellow drivers out if the car was burning....

It is somewhat dated. This happened in 1998 I believe. Google 'Tetsuya Ota' if you want to know more. That's the name of the driver of the Ferrari F355 JGTC.

Crazy crash, and I agree on the crappy safety crew.

And I think I just got eff'd in the A by that dance team.

They were trained to deal with that. But, the poor response ended up with Ota suffering 3rd degree burns. In return, Ota sued for negligence & won $800,000 in the suit. The Porsche that he originally crashed into could have been avoided as well if the safety car had not stopped in front of it so suddenly. That whole race ended Ota's career.

Might be old, but here's a car that's epic enough to give a 75 year old man an erection. The driver has balls too.

👍^^ the sound






This has almost 30million views, so it's probably been posted before, but I'm not searching through 30 pages just to make sure.

Besides, it's cool enough to watch more then once.

What happens when you want to stop 1 million pounds travelling at 200 Mph (320 km/h) as quickly as possible... with worn out brakes.

[SRV2LOW4ME]

WOW. I've never seen brakes glow that bright and for that long before. Nice to see that it stopped sooner than expected as well.

 

[Keef]

And that was without reverse thrust which would cut a sizable chunk off the braking distance.

I am actually suprised in the 5 minutes it had to sit the tyres weren't blazing in fire. I have seen rejected takeoffs turn into a huge blaze in a much shorter time than 5 minutes.
Wonder how it would go if the plane was aged with some of the minor hydraulic leaks of a older aircraft?

Daaaaang, this is a purty video!

Message from Portugal to the World (especially Finland)


Ill learned many things lol! Great vid! Portuguese people are great, and fantastic, and awesome, and...!

 

[RUI]

@ horde: that vid may look kind of cool and all, but if you have to advertise your country like that something's definitely very wrong!

Why did all these early Portuguese people want to leave Portugal in the first place? 💡

It was a small country owned by just a couple of guys (still true today!).
Henry (the navigator) was the king's son but not the heir to the throne so he began pirating the northern coast of Morocco in search of wealth - note this is not the official version...
The exploration of Africa's Atlantic coast was a private enterprise throughout most of the XV century, only latter on, with king John II did it become a state policy. It was all downhill after his death though...
