What on earth is it doing there?

What led to its presence there?

If only I had a drone view of the path it took, I could figure out how it got there.

I mean, even seeing the path, to launch that far from the road to that roof is…. remarkable. Impossible even. That’s like at least a ten meter span from the road to that roof. Probably several times that. I can’t tell because the camera is a potato, but it seems like there’s maybe an earthen ramp near the front of the building the car jumped from? Seems a more plausible distance at least.

It likely didn’t take the path you assume a car driving would take. It probably hit something which springboard/launched it into the air for it to make that long of a jump. It rolled a few times (hence the damaged roof and sides) before settling in its final position.

Maybe the “ramp” it used fell down

No I’m talking like those videos you see where a car drives into a tire or hits something at a weird angle and then gets yeeted. Physics is weird.

While possible, I think it was just the wall piece that’s no longer there that became a ramp and collapsed afterwards.

It looks like there might be something collapsed there right after the initial drop, so there could have been a small building there it hit and launched from while knocking it down. Potato quality does not help here.

Totally agree. There’s a collapsed structure below the fense. I’m wondering if that was a partially constructed building that had the effect you describe. The, now broken, fence probably helped.

20 meters a second (72km/h), released at 20 degrees (shallow angle) will go approx. 26 meters If it’s a ball, meh, if it’s over a ton of shitty SUV, not so meh Edit:- sorry don’t know how my comment ended up as a reply to you… ah well. Enjoy, apparently. E2: hey, it kind of fits, wasn’t my intention, am more paying attention to at what point I go and investigate the mechanical noises occurring in the other room.

It’s the angle of launch I can’t reconcile, as well as the distance. It’s going downhill at the point it would crash through the fence and leave the road. I can’t see anything that would seem to reverse that downward angle in any meaningful way to get the kind of lift I would think would be required to span that distance, even if dude was driving like 150km/h. Just doesn’t seem possible without GTA physics.

There was a steel beam(s) in the fence that served as a ramp.

Look at the angle of the section of fence to the left of where it launched. Probably the section of fence it went through served as a ramp as it was falling over.

Someone shared a link to a news story that included that footage. There were steel beams in the wall that served as ramos to launch the car. The news story said 37 meters (120 ft).

There is a yellow tape at the end of the road where the people are standing, with possibly a wall of some sort that gor broken. So it is possible that whatever was there acted as a ramp, and off it went.

You can see that there used to be a “wall” (clearly made of metal or something) there. I can totally see them hitting the wall, the wall gives way enough for the car to drive up and and it turn into a ramp for it.

I imagine they hit the ground beneath the road and flipped and rolled to the finish on the roof. I’d be surprised if the drunk survived the crash and then didn’t subsequently walk off the roof.

I imagine that the car sprouted wings then flew around the entire city before gliding back around and crashing on this roof.

But then how did it have enough momentum to make a jump, ANY JUMP, and stop where it did without going over the side? It looks placed there gently somehow. Like with a crane

S

Gently? It made a massive divot in the roof.

P
Parkerloper • 1 points
Ok, “relatively gently”? I mean it didn’t go through the roof or go off/over/around the edge of the building. Things that i think it would’ve done to the building if it had enough momentum to make up there under it’s own power.

That’s actually someone filming from another car

I couldn’t understand what was being said, but they showed the wall and large steel beam that was bent over in a way that, eyeballing it, seems about the right angle to launch the car in that trajectory. Edit: okay, yeah, I turned on the translation and that’s exactly what it was.

The drone is flying the path. The fence acted as a ramp.

You literally couldn’t explain it simpler without crayons and construction paper.
