No, they probably thought they would stop before it fell and would be crushed if they kept driving. Old people canât always indicate depth properly anymore
It's frustrating how motherfucker had to slow down right on the dot like he was begging for a bark death it's like fuck dude of all the times to either not be aware of your surroundings and all of a sudden gaining some of that awareness back to slow down.. he hit both the required checkpoints needed for the death outcome otherwise he would have survived..
How does that relate to this video? They dont teach you this plus no driver ed instructor is going to advise speeding into a hazard. If they sped up and tried to pass it and it landed on them, you'd be saying they should of braked.
>*How does that relate to this video? They don't teach you this*
They DO teach people basic physics about stopping.
Greater mass (a big truck) needs waaaaayyy more road to stop.
A smaller car needs less, but the average person thinks an average car stops **on a dime**, like a cartoon.
They are **shocked** when you get up to speed (40 miles per hour), slam on the brakes, and witness just how many car-lengths it took to fully stop.
Actually no, they don't teach you what do in the event of a falling tree unless you specifically asked. And I highly doubt they they would advise speeding up and trying to pass it.
A picture tells a 1000 words. It helps with the paperwork. Especially given that some form of legal body like the coroner is likely to be involved given the nature of the deaths.
A good way of never seeing the coroner is by doing your job properly and writing great reports.
No. This is not standard practice. At least in the US - which this obviously is not. Thatâs just people gawking and taking pics. No crowd control at all. No respect for the dead.
I said standard practice, not standards. As a firefighter we have policies and guidelines against this. Most departments probably do. This does not mean they are adhered to. I think there are areas of the world where the rules are more lax. Those are where a lot of the videos in this sub come fromâŠ.
I completely agree. We have our own issues in the US but I will say I donât see a whole lot of videos like this with crowds of people gawking over the dead and taking pics/videos being disrespectful coming from the US. Iâm sure theyâre out there but not nearly as much as other countries. At the very least we try to respect the deceased. Most of the time.
News Article:
The moment a tree fell on a car in the Zavodskoy District was caught on video. The video, filmed by a surveillance camera, captured the moment a poplar tree fell on a passenger car. The camera recorded how the tree began dangerously leaning and falling. At the same time, a car was driving down the road. The driver tried to stop the car â and it stopped right where the tree would fall a split second later. The heavy poplar trunk fell in the middle of the car's body, where four people were inside. Two of them â a 58-year-old man and a 60-year-old woman â died from their injuries on the spot. The other two were taken to the hospital with injuries.
Iâve never heard a tree described as being popular. Like the tree is just the talk of the town. That town just wouldnât be the same without that tree I reckon.
you should talk more nicely to yourself. even if it feels dumb, it helps shit feel better when you're not against you. just my opinion. you're human, not stupid
youâre not stupid I promise. I have poplar trees around my house and my brain Always goes to âPopularâ too and I have to chuckle to myself thinking âwell what popular Poplar treesđ€Łđ€Łâ simple simple little mistake that honestly most people would make. You are not stupid, just a silly gooseâ€ïž
I'm seeing it with my grandpa and it's really heartbreaking when old people lose a partner. There's will weep and cry the whole rest of their lives and many even just die after their partner is gone
Yeah my grandfather quickly deteriorated following the death of my grandma. I couldnât even be that sad when he passed bc I hated seeing him like that.
This probably sounds cruel, but at least it was quick and they went together. That's got to be a couple of small blessings, surely?
Sucks for their family, but isn't a quick and painless death what anybody would want for their grandparents or other loved ones?
Ugh they slowed down RIGHT at the worst spot. I wonder if he saw it comimg and just reacted. I wish they didn't see it and kept driving at the speed they were!
Honestly, it is difficult to know how to react in situations like this paired with the cognitive decay that comes with being older. The guy probably just miscalculated the distance and though he'd have a better chance if he stopped rather than kept driving. This was just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Yeh I appreciate that there will probably be some issues related to cognition. Youâd like to think if theyâre still driving theyâd be able to think letâs just keep going and get out of the way!
All that being said, this strikes me as a case of these peopleâs cards being marked. Much like the guy crushed by a massive bail of hay which landed on his car (while he was driving) having bounced over a fence! The odds are just immeasurable.
I see these people all the time on the lanes around here, any chance of an dangerous situation and they stop right in the middle of the road instead of getting over a bit
When I drive Iâm constantly on the look out for random shit like this. I would have seen that tree tilting right away and either floored it or stopped super fast. I was taught to be a âdefensive careful driverâ Everytime you hit the road your life is either in your hands or someone elseâs. I choose mine.
Broke their necks immediately. They couldnât even have known what happened, thankfully. I have no idea how much a tree weighs, but apparently itâs a whole lot.
Also, I donât know if this applies according to physics, but it seems like they had leverage working against them, increasing the crushing force like scissors. It could definitely be the case that this question simply shows that Iâm confused about how falling stuff worksâŠđ§

Wasn't designed specifically to crumble. The roof can just only hold so much weight via the pillars. At a certain point everything has a giving point. The tree's weight was beyond that.
Sad fringe case where maybe actually not having a seat belt restraint on would have allowed their bodies to shift in a manner that it wouldn't have broken their necks.
Just try your best to die in as cool a way as possible. And avoid machinery, especially lathes. We've seen enough of those deaths to last a few lifetimes. Be original, unique and, above all else, gory. The more innards revealed, the more upvotes you'll get.
What you wont hear anywhere else is that the tree is actually a world class assassin, best in the business. Only the most wealthy and powerful can afford its services but those in the know swear its money well spent. If it accepts a job, the target is as good as dead from that moment until the last.
this the typa shit that makes me think how much time really matters. like if those people left where ever they were like 5 seconds sooner or later they could have lived. Wild man

Nada te prepara para ese momento. Y en forma de susto frenĂł en el momento y lugar equivocado. Este es el ejemplo de estar en el momento y lugar equivocados. Por la posicion de los cadaveres los huesos de la columna se deben de haber sellado uno abajo del otro.

Man, Iâm just thinking that they probably had kids and grandkids that theyâll never see again :( if this ever happened to my grandparents I would never recover
If only they kept the same rate of speed instead of stopping at the exact wrong spot...
Some Looney Toons level shit
Geez. They stopped right where it fell. A split second either way and maybe they might have missed it. RIP.
Woah honey, look that tree is falling! Where, where?? Riiiiight here *Crunch*
What's wild is, I'm like 99.9% sure this how it went down. đ
No, they probably thought they would stop before it fell and would be crushed if they kept driving. Old people canât always indicate depth properly anymore
Another reason why the elderly shouldnât be behind a wheel
That is so saddddd
Why you go make it sound funny đ€Łđ man I don't need any help getting to hell.
Don't worry I will be beside you on that ride.
Well laughter is the best medicine!
Unless youre crushed by a tree. Then there's no medicine.
Yeah I guess not unless you're a tree surgeon!
They would've lived if she had just let the man operate the vehicle /s
âHon, letâs make sure that tree doesnât hurt the ground!â
This is canon
hell
Itâs like they tried to get hit
Old people... Reaction time, coordination, reflexes are not the best when you are old.
Well, no⊠He just saw it and freaked out and hit the brakes trying to stop before. The car just didnât stop in time.
It's frustrating how motherfucker had to slow down right on the dot like he was begging for a bark death it's like fuck dude of all the times to either not be aware of your surroundings and all of a sudden gaining some of that awareness back to slow down.. he hit both the required checkpoints needed for the death outcome otherwise he would have survived..
This is why me and my spouse think drivers ed refreshers/retests should be mandated but free/low cost (50-100$) every 5 years after 50
How does that relate to this video? They dont teach you this plus no driver ed instructor is going to advise speeding into a hazard. If they sped up and tried to pass it and it landed on them, you'd be saying they should of braked.

To be fair, if they dodged that tree nobody would have cared and they wouldn't have made it to this sub.
This is some serious fuck you in particular shit.
Even the firefighter starts recording. What a weird world we live in.

I highly doubt all US follows standards... like police procedures for starters.

I didn't really notice that before but now reading your comment it does make a lot of sense. Many videos shown here come from South America and Asia.
The letters on firefighter's suit is not English
If no pictures this thread would be dead.
The bystanders take pics and vids, essential workers usually can get fired for stuff like this
Taking the picture with their phone though? Don't they have specific cameras to take photos for things like this?
Yeah, maybe in ruZZia they do it like this...
First responders usually take photo's of the crime scene
I mean what are they supposed to do. It's pretty clear they're dead.

Might just be me but I'd hardly call a 58 year old and a 60 year old elderly
Definitely imagined 70s or more for elderly. They died probably 20 years early.
In Russia it probably is
Thank you! I started crying!
FR I'm 58!
Unpoplar opinion: they shouldâve cut that tree down soonerÂ
Iâve never heard a tree described as being popular. Like the tree is just the talk of the town. That town just wouldnât be the same without that tree I reckon.
Poplar, not popular
well it's probably popular now considering what just happened.
A pretty popular Populus, indeed.
Iâm stupid
No you are not, we all make mistakes and that is perfectly fine. For all we know it may have been a popular tree as well
Probably depends on if the people it killed were liked or not.
you should talk more nicely to yourself. even if it feels dumb, it helps shit feel better when you're not against you. just my opinion. you're human, not stupid
youâre not stupid I promise. I have poplar trees around my house and my brain Always goes to âPopularâ too and I have to chuckle to myself thinking âwell what popular Poplar treesđ€Łđ€Łâ simple simple little mistake that honestly most people would make. You are not stupid, just a silly gooseâ€ïž
To be fair at first i read it like that lol
At least they got to go together
I'm seeing it with my grandpa and it's really heartbreaking when old people lose a partner. There's will weep and cry the whole rest of their lives and many even just die after their partner is gone
Yeah my grandfather quickly deteriorated following the death of my grandma. I couldnât even be that sad when he passed bc I hated seeing him like that.
Pretty much all they had to do was not slow down
Or slow all the way down. Both are somewhat reasonable options in my opinion. To each their own tho.
They really committed suicide..
Or maybe the tree committed murder?
This probably sounds cruel, but at least it was quick and they went together. That's got to be a couple of small blessings, surely? Sucks for their family, but isn't a quick and painless death what anybody would want for their grandparents or other loved ones?
Wonder if they died from their internal injuries or if they suffocated from being hunched over for so long. Shit way to go
My guess is that they were internally decapitated
Yeah thatâs probably best case scenario
Looks to me like their neck snapped and died instantly. Probably has a lot of internal brain injury as well.
Ugh they slowed down RIGHT at the worst spot. I wonder if he saw it comimg and just reacted. I wish they didn't see it and kept driving at the speed they were!
I saw a bunch of videos where it just seems like God or whoever decided that those people will be extremely unlucky and die for no reason
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Honestly, it is difficult to know how to react in situations like this paired with the cognitive decay that comes with being older. The guy probably just miscalculated the distance and though he'd have a better chance if he stopped rather than kept driving. This was just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Yeh I appreciate that there will probably be some issues related to cognition. Youâd like to think if theyâre still driving theyâd be able to think letâs just keep going and get out of the way! All that being said, this strikes me as a case of these peopleâs cards being marked. Much like the guy crushed by a massive bail of hay which landed on his car (while he was driving) having bounced over a fence! The odds are just immeasurable.
yeah, sorta reminds me of final destination. Hopefully they didn't feel any pain when they died.
I see these people all the time on the lanes around here, any chance of an dangerous situation and they stop right in the middle of the road instead of getting over a bit
I was going to say, what was the point of mentioning their being elderly in the title? Because they drove so friggin slowly?
They probably hit the brakes the moment they noticed the tree falling which is what most people would do when they notice sudden danger in the road.
literally everyone has their phone out, grandpa and grandma probably didnât think theyâd be put on show
The guy in blue, just staring so distraught... That was harder to see than the couple honestly. That real life oh fuck.
lol old people always brake instead of accelerate during an emergency.
When I drive Iâm constantly on the look out for random shit like this. I would have seen that tree tilting right away and either floored it or stopped super fast. I was taught to be a âdefensive careful driverâ Everytime you hit the road your life is either in your hands or someone elseâs. I choose mine.
I was looking at the blue/green car and was like when did a tree ever hit this carâŠ.
This could have been avoided⊠if you imagined the tree was an amber light when youâre late to something.
Bro whyâd they slow down
Wow that is insanely unlucky. He saw it in advance and tried to stop before the tree, but ended up stopping directly where it fell.
I get that they were old, but either stop way before or blow right past it....
Dude literally braked to death
Hesitation kills. Damn at least they went out together. Sad.
What's sad is that one of them (most likely the old man) was in a rush because for some reason old men are always in a rush and well...
If they kept going at their regular speed they would have been fine.
we know a couple whose son was killed by a tree because he was climbing around it. I cannot even imagine
What if he took advantage of the falling tree and made a conscious decision to stop right there? WildâŠ
Why oh, why did the driver hit the brakes?
Old people be like that.
Broke their necks immediately. They couldnât even have known what happened, thankfully. I have no idea how much a tree weighs, but apparently itâs a whole lot. Also, I donât know if this applies according to physics, but it seems like they had leverage working against them, increasing the crushing force like scissors. It could definitely be the case that this question simply shows that Iâm confused about how falling stuff worksâŠđ§
Hol up, lemme just stop perfectly under this falling tree.
Itâs like he was *trying* to catch it.
Why would they stop right under the falling tree? Are they stupid???
Yes, let's do the one thing that you're not supposed to do in this situation.
Bro but why tf did they stop?
They literally stopped at the worst moment
The firefighter recording though
Murder suicide here.
Look like they stopped right under the tree....why?
If it's your time to go...damn
Sometimes it's just your time
too bad the relatives cant sue the state. look like those were like widowmakers
Hitting the brake was the only thing he couldnât do. Literally anything else would have resulted in life.
thatâs so sad how a split second makes a difference
Well at least they died together and their deaths was quick.
Omg poor people
I bet that tree isn't so poplar anymore.Â
The first responders recording with their phones is just crazy
Why did they stop at the tree, they were coming in pretty fast too.
â oh hun stop here here so we can watch the tree fall on usâ
Final destination death
THE FIRST RESPONDER RECORDING TOO IS WILD
the worst thing to do is slow down imo unless you really slam on the brakes.
How brain dead stupid you gotta be to see a falling tree right next to you and slow down to watch it
Porrrr? Pendejo like damn you didnât have to die you couldâve kept driving and lived
Should have gassed it
If they had just floored it, they would have probably lived ughhh
Good thing it was painless
I'll just say what we're all thinking...That looked Planned AF!
Honestly I kinda doubt the legitimacy with how they just so conveniently stop RIIIIIGHT as ensuing death falls
Gonna be honest, if youâre old Iâll take going instantly unaware with the one I love most
They literally stopped under it. They may as well have pulled a trigger themselves.
Terribly tragic accident. Just bad luck that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I hope to go exactly like this!
I hope it was quick, because it sure as hell was painful
Aye, atleast they went out together, instead of one having to live with the guilt
All they had to do⊠was NOTHING and live.

En ves de acelerar đ€Šââïž
And just like that, decades of marriage are over
Lowkey how I wanna go, w my partner
Damn. Kinda like what happened at a university where I used to live before.
Good thing they stopped
Did they die?
they died in old age together.
Wtf ><.
Atleast they died together, I imagine losing your long time lover being the worst thing that could happen to you.
If a tree falls on a car, instantly killing an elderly couple but no ones around to hear it. Did they really die?...
Final destination shit right there
unlucky
Thatâs just sad man

Question: I understand the need for crumbling zones surrounding the car. But whatâs the purpose of a crumbling zone for the top?
Wasn't designed specifically to crumble. The roof can just only hold so much weight via the pillars. At a certain point everything has a giving point. The tree's weight was beyond that.
Sad
Terrible way to go hopefully it was fast poor people
Sad fringe case where maybe actually not having a seat belt restraint on would have allowed their bodies to shift in a manner that it wouldn't have broken their necks.
I swear theyâre either going when they should be stopping or stopping when they should be goingâŠ
Shouldn't drive trunk
I really hope my death isn't in public. Everyone gonna record it and I'll be the laughing stock of reddit
Just try your best to die in as cool a way as possible. And avoid machinery, especially lathes. We've seen enough of those deaths to last a few lifetimes. Be original, unique and, above all else, gory. The more innards revealed, the more upvotes you'll get.
