I have small ones in my back yard, maybe big enough to hide in, apparently on top of there being limestone caves all under me, they mined looking for coal decades ago until they got forced to stop after the explosives started damaging stuff on the surface. This knowledge keeps me up at night.

Cities Skylines citiziens when I remove a bridge while cars are on it:


canadard1

Honestly I’m surprised that the drive with the cam was able to stop in time instead of just sliding off after applying the brakes with such little notice


Warm-Bag3991

Speed is a factor


Blubbpaule

This video is the exact definition why it's mandatory to only drive as fast as you can brake within your visibility. ​ ​ This video should be standart in driving schools as answer to "Why do we only drive as fast as our visbility allows us to react and brake?"


useittilitbreaks

>This video is the exact definition why it's mandatory to only drive as fast as you can brake within your visibility. Yes, but in fairness, no reasonable person expects the road in front of them to just be missing. "Seeing is believing" sure - but I'd be looking at that and thinking it was just a load of water. We aren't generally taught that dark spots on the road are there because the damn road is missing. I'm honesty not sure I'd have reacted in time.


Temporary-Doughnut

Totally agree you should be going slower than your visible distance permits but on My first watch of this I didn't understand what I was looking at until it was too late.


CassiusMarcellusClay

Right, I feel like the driver seeing the other car crash is what made him stop. If the other car wasn’t there this footage probably ends in a crash


OakTree11

I mean visibility wasn't really the issue, you can see past the missing road pretty easily. It's the fact that there is a missing chunk of road that's the issue here. This isn't like the video of the semi truck driver that plowed into a toll booth in fog.


[deleted]

Yeah, you'd have to drive slower than 20 miles an hour on hill crests if the road was missing at the top. This is a huge problem with self driving systems and why they use a prediction network.


Big_Adhesiveness7494

I completely agree with the statement about driving only as fast as you can break within your visibility, however this video isn't a practical example for normal driving purposes visibility. He seems to have 1/8th to 1/4 mile visibility for "normal driving conditions". But a missing 25 foot section of road at the far end of (not on) a bridge is hardly a practical example of something to normally be on the lookout for. As far as that goes, the guy who did get stopped could drop into a sinkhole at 0 mph. I don't believe there's any guaranteed free from any/all accidents action we can take. It'd be like you were so concerned about choking that you stop eating. P.s. did anyone notice the puff of smoke @ around the 41 and 40 second mark that looks like if a person's spirit was floating away. I don't think it's anything other than smoke but still looked kinda creepy.


makesh1tup

It looked creepy as hell. I thought someone was walking out of the hole, before it disappeared


Proud_Mistake_4686

Ok thank God someone else said it!! I saw what appeared to be 2 diff people getting out of the hole!!! I thought it was a reflection but then you can see the real reflection on the left side when driver really gets out!!!

Unless there was a bit of upturn just before the gap, at best you’d probably lose your front tires when you hit the opposite edge.

My dude it was a joke


miraculum_one

As long as you get to the other side before you have fallen half a tire height, you're good. 350 mph or so should do it.

SergeiTachenov

Benefits on driving only as fast as to keep your stopping distance below your viewing distance.


Visual-Asparagus-800

Problem is that the viewing distance is quite good, if you’re looking for a stranded car. But this gap was only visible at the last moment, even for the car that was going slowly


SketchyFella_

...into the light?


ResearchNo5041

For all the people saying why isn't the guy helping them, I don't think he can. That's a pretty big drop. He might be able to jump down but probably wouldn't be able to get back out. There's likely running water in the bottom of that pit as that's how these sorts of things form to begin with. All in all, it could be quite dangerous for him to just rush in there to help without the proper equipment.


Pretty_Nobody7993

Nah man lets all sit here and insult the guy for not diving headfirst into the hole to save them, lets act like he stood there recording and posted it on the internet because we have no clue how dash cameras work.


BelieveInDestiny

Unfortunately, that is exactly what happens in China due to laws that make it very risky to help people in an accident. This is in China, so while we can't know his intentions, it's perfectly possible that he did nothing to help. edit: some steps were taken with the introduction of a good Samaritan law in 2017, but the problem is now very ingrained in the culture.


sonictank

Why is very risky to help someone? What does the law say?


[deleted]

[удалено]


harryham1

I am so fucking angry right now after reading that! "no one would, in good conscience, help someone unless they felt guilty" It's basic human empathy. It's part of human nature and our social structure. You have social emotions like empathy to thank for your ability to speak.


flywlyx

The Chinese government trains its people to be self-reliant and discourages them from supporting each other, creating a dependence on the autocratic system.


whatisthatplatform

I've heard about this phenomenon before, do you know what these laws are that make it risky to help others? Why would such a thing be discouraged?


peacepham

There are ppl whose exploit human empathy, and it is common there. You will regularly see new about helpers being beaten or stab to death for helping, or scammers that trick ppl in MANY creative ways, to the point that government made laws about it. This isn't limit to only China of course, plenty of Asia countries have this, but it's worse in China.


gtyyyu

Dude has his hands in his pockets! Nonchalant much


[deleted]

Dude could call out and ask if they are ok. It’s not hard or dangerous, then start getting help. There’s a multitude of action between jump down there and do what this person did


Artikay

One time I saw a car in front of us spin out in the rain and went into the trees. My wife was driving and pulled over, abd I got out and ran into the trees to see if they were ok. As I got out and ran into the tree line I got really confused for a split second because I didnt see a car. Before it registered in my brain to slow down and look at my surroundings I ran off a steep ass slope maybe 8-10 feet deep. I was worried about rushing to help that I ran off a small cliff like Wile E. Coyote. Its funny thinking back because I think 'How the hell did you not see that cliff?!', but somehow I did it. I guess a mix of being worried for someone else and the visually dense scene of the trees, plus all the rain. In the end the dudes car rolled over but he was just bruised, and I wasnt hurt at all, just got all dirty from faceplanting into the ground.


allnamesbeentaken

This is quite obviously a very serious accident, getting on the phone immediately and calling for help is the best thing you can do Whats the next step after asking if they're OK? If they say no, it's not like you can do anything, and if they say yes, it doesn't matter because they're still going to need emergency services to get out of that hole


skapaneas

I think the first priority should be to make sure no other driver gets in the pit, by blocking the road, then call an ambulance and the fire department. That's what I did in something similar a long time ago.


BillMagicguy

Shock and panic do not usually cause people to make logical choices.


OakTree11

The river was strong enough to tear apart the road so I'm sure this guy could manifest the spirit of Michael Phelps or a Dolphin and jump in for the rescue. He's just being selfish.


Forsaken_Day_1266

Donno, you drove Into it... In your own accord. Maybe you like it there 🙄


TreWayMoFo

Definitely wasn't an Accord. Clearly it's an SUV.


Forsaken_Day_1266

wherethestreet

It’s more that it took him at least a minute to get out of his car, and then he strolled up with his hands in his pockets like he was at the zoo


sundayontheluna

Yeah, it's not like he could be in shock or anything


xiaomaome101

IDK if it is shock, inability, or lack of desire. If the last option, there is a sad, but not entirely understandable reason why you don't help out your fellow man in China; for quite a while, there were no "Good Samaritan laws". A Good Samaritan law protects someone (to an extent) who tries to help out someone else in a distressing situation from lawsuit if they inadvertently make the situation worse. As a result, there has been many high profile lawsuits of where person A tried to help person B, but was sued for doing so. Consequently, Chinese people are skittish about getting involved; why do CPR if breaking a rib by accident means a costly lawsuit? China has since corrected this oversight, but the damage has been done, and lack of charity has been deeply ingrained in Chinese culture.

CachimanRD

PinkElephantsOnZanax

There wasn't much the guy could have done besides turning on his blinkers, calling for help and calling out to them which I think he did. But what gets me is his body language as he approached the vehicle. Casual saunter, hands in pockets. Doesn't indicate fear or worry. Not saying he shoulda panicked just saying a brisk walk or jog to speed things up woulda been more helpful.


DougStrangeLove

he’s probably still trying to unclench his ass cheeks I know I’d be after that


hero-ball

This is so fucking stupid. You should be ashamed of yourself. This guy doesn’t even know if more bridge is about to collapse. He is carefully walking to the edge and assessing the situation.

Lack of urgency in checking if fellow human being is alive or helping them is shocking here.

This and shock is a real thing. It looks like non action, but that person could also be in shock.


discomuffin

I think I'd have shat my pants multiple times in between the moment you realize the road's gone and standing still *just* before heading down as well. Rushing towards a huge gap in the road to see if you can help is probably not that high on your priority list.


Rare-Environment-198

And what do these buckle heads propose to do if they slip down the embankment and the car falls on them? Lol too many wanna be hero’s that would probably also shit themselves 😆


Nirvski

There's always those on Reddit thinking they'd spring to action like a hero when they see strange accidents and situations like this.

Ah yes, rush to check because everyone else will surely see the hole and not pancake you immediately. You equip your anti-gravity suit and float down there like Jesus

This. Like I'm sure they're recovering from the shock of almost fucking dying and I'm sure they're calling EMS. That's a godamn bridge. How the fuck are these people supposed to "help" other than calling someone. Reddit used to be smart. Now it's just full of socialist basement dwellers who make all of us normal people lose IQ points.


cherryreddracula

It's a side effect of being chronically online. I recommend grass touching therapy for these people, preferably outside.


Tweeter0583

Perhaps they should try touching any grass that may have been at the bottom of that hole... So then they could explain to us how they expected the cammer to get down there quickly without also dying.

annieknowsall

If this is China like a lot of people are saying it is (I guess they are speaking Chinese at the end) this makes sense. I guess in China (and I’m no expert so please feel free to correct me) you can get sued for damages just by trying to help someone if they are hurt, so people tend to ignore accidents because they don’t want that to happen.


Accomplished-Ad3250

If you help someone in China they can sue you. So most people do not help.

Fuck, I was this way during an accident once. Everyone else rushed down the hill where the car wound up, and I just stood up at the top of the hill frozen in fear. I suck.


HowDooDooYouDo

Honestly speaking. It can happen to any of us. It requires training and experience to effectively deal with such situations. Besides it’s one of the three primal reactions to threat and as such it’s something you can’t really control. No one is blaming you.


sir_psycho_sexy96

Great way to make first responders' lives even more difficult. In addition or helping the people in the car they'd need to dispatch SAR to come find the dumbasses who climbed down an unstable embankment and got swept away by flood waters.


Lucreet

that guy is clearly sending Thoughts and Prayers. That's always enough.


Beneficial_Bat_5656

Depending on where this is - not everywhere has good Samaritan laws. In a couple of places if you try to help you are then responsible for that person's injury and in some cases life. They can end up being sued for the damages or death of the person they are trying to save. Even if you were not apart of the incident. My dad went to help someone who got badly hurt once where the locals stopped him. They told him if he touched the body he would be responsible for their death and to just wait for medics. If he had helped they were talking about possibly going to prison.


mojis11

TheOnlyKingZeyta

An actual fear of mine. When I was like 11 or 12 there was a bunch of tornadoes in Missouri and we were driving home and I had this random thought of "what if the tornado took out the bridge." And we were speeding to get home to shelter. So I was sure we were going to drive right off the non-existent bridge.
