Drunk Guy Lights His SUV On Fire And Tries To Drive
August 15th, 2009 | by admin |
My roommate Jill Hanner (XGobobeanX) http://jillhanner.com/ and I were enjoying a peaceful night at home when suddenly a drunk guy drives a vehicle into some gated private property behind my apartment and begins ramming it into piles of wood and metal. We immediately called 911 and informed them what was taking place.
The car quickly catches on fire. The drunk guy pounds the car with pieces of metal. He climbs back into the car honks the horn and it blows out in a firey puff. The drunk guy begins pushing his fire engulfed car backwards while yelling and swearing. A second guy grabs him from the inferno minutes before an explosion takes place. The FDNY begin dousing the flames and a second explosion is heard. The NYPD arrive and the drunk guy starts running from the scene. The police quickly stop him, handcuff him and throw him in their van.
Some have asked why we didn’t “run down and save him” ourselves.
Main reasons…
1. There is a barbed wire fence between us and the private property the drunk guy broke into. It would not be possible to interfere.
2. It’s dangerous!!! if the drunk guy is strong enough to push a flaming car he could easily overpower us. He could also have a weapon or be on a death wish. There is no way to gauge his mental state at this point.
3. There is SECOND PERSON out there with him and we couldn’t determine if he was friend or foe.
A big thanx goes out to all of NYC emergency teams for their quick response time on this! Thank you the NYPD, FDNY and Emergency Medical Teams!

Don’t listen to the Tards who are like “OMG why didn’t you do something.” They are just typical E-thugs talking smack from their computer.

Could you say approximately where that fenced lot is?
It looks like Engine Company 263, which would indicate Astoria.

It’s not a house. That place is the size of 4 houses. It’s like a warehouse or something.

I’ve never seen a house completely surrounded by a 2-story Barbed wire fence…are you SURE you weren’t in a prison? Oh, well, you did get the clip..FTW!!! That’s the important thing.
@thejamhole: It’s amazing what people won’t do also.

You must be superman! If you can “hop” a two story fence with barbed wire on top, then YOU should have done something. Everyone is a hero sitting behind their computer aren’t they?

I just don’t believe that you would have run towards a burning vehicle that was possibly moments from exploding and that your admonishment below is from the safety of your terminal.

You mean you tried? Kindly don’t lie. You still haven’t walked down there. And, basically you are defending yourself by telling me that you would not hop a barbed wire fence or anything else in the service of your fellow man but you will sit on your thumbs and watch someone burn while you make purile comments.

You do realize there is a barbed wire fence between where the video was filmed and the incident? Right???
No you don’t.

Remember kids, drinking and taking videos of somebody’s potential deaths with your commentary is also dumb and distasteful.

On a style note? I think it would be a one to two maybe. Cool guy hands over the camera to girl, he goes and helps risking his life (perhaps) and does something. Cool girl films and cheers.
Uncool guy stands around making useless videos and comments because has has never run 500 yards down a street in his life and is afraid he would lose footage/look uncool.

Oh, so you are joining their ranks? Look, the poor stupid drunk idiot was right before their eyes and they sat around making comments. I take it you find that cool or something.

Hey now, they went out of their way to make that SUV crack while that stupid JOCK actually helped.
I bet these hipsters would have helped if someone told them how ironic it would be if they showed concern and tried to save a man from burning to death.

Not properly …
Not properly trained to call 911? Not properly trained to drag some guy away from burning to death and possibly hurting more people?
I was trying to figure out how they could possibly be more worthless hipsters too hip and jaded to help, and then out came the twittering.

Not for nothing..I don’t blame him for not helping, he is not properly trained and why would he risk his live for some dumbass drunk who shouldn’t of been driving in the first place. Plus if he was helping he wouldn’t of been able to post such a great vid
