Holy Crap!!

Car just misses everyone running a red light. Real? I think so, based on the hard braking of the black SUV. From rocketboom:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...t&f=b

WOOOOAAAH!!! That was trippy!

[ToolGuy]

WOW! Looks real to me! That car braked hard themselves! And then once through the intersection, continued on down the road pretty quickly! Would have been a nasty wreck.

[djnewm]

WOW!!If you look at the people that are crossing the street, you see their white bag swing forward then back as they get in front of the van. Then as they proceed across, they stop again and stare down the street and hesitate as they cross some more.

holy crap that was tooo dam close.

That white coupe got clipped for sure. Looks like the rear end swung to the left a bit toward the median as it crossed. Second, it probably hit the brakes because cars behind it slowed down some.Hope the original video has better resolution so they can go after that guy.

[scherry2]

he got clipped by the front of the SUV too. if you stop the action.

That driver has to be the LUCKIEST sob there is.I don't think that could have been timed any better.

I do not believe its real.for 1 thing when the runner comes up on the intersection and goes in, it would seem he would hit or clip those two cars which hitting the right rear of the one car would spin his rear out right? But then the SUV would have hit him which would have then spun him the other way. Even if clipped. But when the video continues and the car appears... its on what would be the sidewalk over on the right.The car going through the intersection jumps to the right and appears to go between the two cars at the one's rear and the other's front. Well there was not enough room in the middle between both cars for that.I call fake... anyone could make something like that with edited video of that intersection and cars going in both directions.

[GMJAP]

I have to say I've come to the conclusion it's real:The people's reaction crossing the street, the black SUV braking, the white car getting clipped, the smoke from the running car braking after clipping the white car.... there's no evidence that it's fake.Mavrik, if "anyone" could make a video like that- let's see you do it!

[Mrizzle05]

if anyone could make that... i wanna see the directors cut

[drunkenmaxx]

video manipulation is 1000 times harder than doing a photo. anyone can learn photoshop, but it takes serious time and knowledge to create something that's not real via video editing.

[Mavrik]

then explain why the vehicle comes out the other side off its line when clearly if the SUV hit it, it should have come out more to the left?I'm still calling fake. I've seen some good edited video before.

[AKLGT]

sorry, looked fake to me. unless every one of those vehicles had it timed perfectly to the millisecond. then perhaps it may have been real.

[ZubenElGenubi]

Looked at it again and just noticed something: there is an extra lane between the SUV and the white coupe. Foreshortening (my new word for the day) makes it seem like the two cars are in adjacent lanes, but you'll see a white pickup with a topper that occupies that lane (it brakes too).I call real.

[drunkenmaxx]

i can't view the video anyway, i was just making a statement. i have no idea if it looks real or not.

[putting on my Sherlock Holmes' deerstalker cap]Trying to figure out where this was shot. Some clues:Appear to be mountains in the distanceLooks to be early evening or early morning, based on shadow lengthif streets are aligned N-S E-W, then this is likely in the evening because sun is north of the east-west line that camera is facing (note shadow angle of camera pole)got a Mickey D's on the southeast corner I can't find any information that decodes "SA WEHA 01" in bottom left. I can't see license plates well enough to even determine color.getting Google earth out now....

[AKLGT]

don't know, can't really say for sure. but still looks fake to me. and honestly, who really gives a crap! lol

[taking off my deerstalker hat and chucking it in the fireplace]Someone on youtube pegged the location: 17th & Harbor Blvd in Santa Ana, CA. The camera is pointing west (meaning it was in the morning). You can see the McDonalds in the NW corner of the intersection:http://maps.google.com/maps?f=...&om=1So much for my detective work!
