5. Was she carrying Cinder Blocks in that bag?
She managed to hit the front of the car hard enough to set off the air bags. That takes some doing.

8. It must have been something heavy.
Poor old lady looked like she was just taking a nap there.

That video is priceless.

6. Good for her! That shopping bag packs quite a punch!
That guy is such a jerk. I'll bet he's a Republican. I hope that the police charged him with not yielding to a pedestrian and being rude and mean to an old lady.

9. I know!
She may have been sleeping, but she must have been there before he pulled up and squeeled his brakes. Just gently tap the horn and wave. I would have asked if she was ok. That guy was a punk. I seem to see so many more of them under this president. It is ok to be an asshole.

24. He's not a Republican
He's some sort of right-winger, but not a member or supporter of our American Republican Party.

This because that's a European-style zebra crossing, not an American crosswalk.

21. Not at all.
The guy was being an ass. The fact that he was in a Mercedes just shows he was an ass with money. And, he will be spending some on fixing his airbag.

:D

28. He was a rude asshole. Wouldn't matter what car he was in.
He could have tapped once to wake her up and then let it alone, but nooooooo... the idiot wasted a WHOLE lot more time by being a jerk. Funny as hell.

15. She smacks his car dead center on the front license plate,
maybe that is where the sensor for the air bag is located.

Either it is staged or she unintentionally hit the bullseye!

23. I was wondering a bit myself.
The kids laughing didn't seem staged. Usually, kids that age are going to sound fakey if it is set up, but they didn't.

25. Check your settings. My Mac played it fine.
I tried it in both Internet Exploiter and Safari. Worked fine both times.

29. real or staged?
Edited on Sat May-27-06 01:04 PM by NJCher
I think the camera person was originally just taping the kids but when he heard the car noise, turned around and took this video. Yes, I agree the kids' laughter seems for real and not staged. The only thing that seems staged about it to me is the sound of the purse hitting the front of his car. It is so loud it makes me wonder if it was doctored. The rest of it, though, seems bone fide.

This is a very funny video; thanks for posting it. I'm sending it around.




Cher

p.s. Upon viewing it another time, I can see now why the noise was so loud. She hit the lower part of the front of the car and the sound comes from the bumper and up through the grill.

I see one more sign that makes me think this was for real. The guy is reading a map or something while he's waiting for her but when he spots the camera, he tries to cover his face with his hand before he gets out of the car and checks for damage. He knows he's a dick.

30. Yeah, I think it is real.
First time I watched, I thought such instant karma was a little too convenient.

She must have had something heavy in that bag, and hit just the right spot on the bumper. I wonder if she told her friends about it playing bridge. She may not have even known she set off the airbag. Good for the lady!!

:hi:

32. That's not a map...
Take another look at the video--it's his airbag! She set it off when she smacked his license plate! :rofl:

33. yeah, got that from nytemare's post above
Too funny!

We so rarely see justice delivered in a NY minute and that's why this little video is SO what the doctor ordered.

35. I think a lot of the noise is the airbag deploying...
They blow up in fractions of a second using high-pressure gas. Here's a description from HowStuffWorks.com:

"Air bags are actually inflated by the equivalent of a solid rocket booster. Sodium azide (NaN3) and potassium nitrate (KNO3) react very quickly to produce a large pulse of hot nitrogen gas. This gas inflates the bag, which literally bursts out of the steering wheel or dashboard as it expands. About a second later, the bag is already deflating (it has holes in it) in order to get out of your way."
