yoda-jag Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) This has to be watched to be believed: A Firebird is filmed by a police cruiser camera going airborne and hitting a bridge at 100mph............. Somehow, the driver survived (well, for now, he is in a critical condition in hospital) Here's the background: SUGARCREEK TWP., Montgomery Co. (WDTN) - A single car crash on Interstate 675 shut down the southbound lanes in Sugarcreek Twp. for six hours Aug. 23. Brennan S. Eden, 19, of Mason, Ohio, lost control of his car and slammed into the concrete pillar of a bridge south of Indian Ripple Road about 7:15 a.m. The force of the crash broke the car into three pieces and Brennan was ejected. Witnesses said moments before the crash, Brennan was passing other drivers at speeds of at least 100 mph. He crashed when he drove off the left side of the roadway while passing a Sugarcreek Twp. police car. The crash was caught on that officer's cruiser camera. "He went down into the median, into the grass, hit the guardrail, went airborne and the car hit the center post of the bridge and literally exploded into three main pieces," said witness Mark Riley. Police said Brennan was alert and conscious after the crash and was flown to Miami Valley Hospital by Careflight where he was last listed in critical condition. "He is very lucky to still be alive at this point," said Ohio State Highway Patrol Lt. Marty Fellure. "You can see behind me the impact he took and where he got ejected and landed, he's a very fortunate man right now."

Ozjag Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 ...and the cop that filmed it for invasion of privacy. Or was it a suicide attempt? Anyway he failed at that which means it's another thing he sucks at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Or was it a suicide attempt? Anyway he failed at that which means it's another thing he sucks at. Don't know if it was a suicide atempt as you can clearly see he hits the breaks.....while mid air, did he not learn Newton's first law?

I would counter that it is perhaps Newtons 3rd Law we can observe clearly in the video - that being that A (car) exerts a force on B (bridge) ... then B (bridge) exerts an equal and opposite force on A (car) ... although laws 1 and 2 are evident too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
