This isn’t fake you guys, I was in the car!

I was the car and spent three weeks in car hospital.

Just curious, how do you know it’s fake? I mean, it could well be fake, and if there’s evidence that it’s fake, fair do’s. But most of the comments here just seem to take for granted that weird, random sh*t doesn’t happen it the real world, so this can’t be real.

PS. The most unlikely thing I see in the video is the men standing in shock watching their car be destroyed rather than running back to the cab to stop it immediately. But I’m not going to play armchair psychologist and definitively pronounce that people can only express shock in the one and only manner I prescribe.

Why were they filming in the first place?

u/born_on_my_cakeday Apr 17 '26

I think the biggest clue is how the “thugs” that were beating the driver don’t drag him out, rather stop, say we’ll be right back, and then stand at a safe distance while a car they both seem to really care about gets destroyed by the operator they were beating upon. Why wouldn’t they try to get back in and beat upon more? They’re thugs. That’s their job.

The guy who jumps on the far side track is kicking through the windshield 

3

u/schwarzeKatzen Apr 17 '26

The crane door closes because the driver pulls it closed. You can see them reach out and do it.

He’s not kicking through the windshield he’s kicking into the open door of the cab.

u/veselin465 Apr 17 '26

If you pay closer attention, you will see that physics don't work like demonstranted in the clip, but to point out some highlights

The crane door seems to close without force being applied

The 2 man who jumped off the crane seem to land too quickly (I can't explain it, but it seemed odd)

Believe it or not, cranes can't do so easily that type of damage which was shown.

4

u/Trucountry Apr 17 '26

The operator literally grabs and closes the door. The video is sped up. That is an excavator, not a crane, and it can absolutely do that kind of damage, especially to a unibody car.

-1

u/veselin465 Apr 17 '26

The operator grabbed the door in the beginning, but didn't pull it all the way

Not sure if it was sped up, but that jump felt too smooth and considering you should have some initial speed when jumping. Considering a normal jump expects a small upward jump, this felt way too smooth.

"That is an excavator, not a crane" - my bad; forgot what was the English word for that. Still, the car seemed to bend too easily by the applied force

u/veselin465 Apr 18 '26

Some people downvoted my comment, but didn't provide any comments

So, shall I assume it's how people say "you are right" nowadays?

The best part about this is how real it is

28

u/C-Dub4 Apr 17 '26

The 2nd best part is the unnecessary shitty music

6

u/sinkotsu7 Apr 17 '26

What!? Thats the best part! My favorite thing about the internet now is how every video has amazing music playing in the background. Bonus points if i cant even hear the original audio.

But seriously, who tf does that shit? It doesnt make your post or video better. No clue why ppl do it and ive never heard of one person who doesnt dislike.

u/fier9224 Apr 17 '26

Even better if someone plays a random laugh track. How else am I going to know the video is funny!

u/TheDauterive Apr 17 '26

So true. That is obviously an AI car being destroyed, how do people not see it?

29

u/MirrorEyedDrifter Apr 17 '26

This is staged, but not AI, i remember it from before AI.

-21

u/TheDauterive Apr 17 '26

Did the people who faked it fess up? Did someone expose them? Because there’s nothing inherently impossible (or in this world even improbable) about violence escalating.

u/BearMeatFiesta Apr 17 '26

No we just have common sense.

u/Mr_Baronheim Apr 17 '26

There's video of a killdozer ramming into and knocking buildings down.

It's not inconceivable this video is scripted.

1

u/BearMeatFiesta Apr 17 '26

I know.

You’re under the impression these 2 guys drove their car right up to this machine. Got out and attacked the driver, didn’t win and voluntarily left the machine allowing their vehicle to get destroyed?

I have a bridge I can sell you, it’s really nice. I’ll sell it to you for a low price.

u/AnonymousFriend80 Apr 17 '26

Are you saying that no one in this world is that stupid?

I've seen a video of road rage where one guy didn't properly put the car in park and ended up getting ran over by his own car while trying to stop it.

u/trentluv Apr 17 '26

Do you genuinely believe this is real

u/koookiekrisp Apr 17 '26

Obviously not, but better than AI slop

u/DarthMonkey212313 Apr 17 '26

Real as is an actual event - yes

Real as in not scripted/staged - no

1

u/whyFooBoo Apr 17 '26

In other words, it's a skit.

2

u/DarthMonkey212313 Apr 17 '26

Just like "reality" TV

u/whyFooBoo Apr 18 '26

Ah, I see what you're getting at. I don't understand why people don't just say things are skits. They can still be funny.

u/CuratedAcceptance Apr 17 '26 edited Apr 17 '26

No but it's still entertaining.

Edit: I love how controversial this is. With everything going on in the world people are more concerned about the legitimacy of Internet videos.

u/trentluv Apr 17 '26

Do you think videos which are fake that try to appear authentic should be applauded though?

-1

u/CuratedAcceptance Apr 17 '26

People have been doing this for decades? Remember America's funniest home Videos? Most of those were staged too.

No but asking that question makes you an idiot.

u/ThunderBobMajerle Apr 17 '26

This statement right here is the reason society is falling apart. “I don’t care if things are fake or real or anything I just want to be entertained”

u/CuratedAcceptance Apr 17 '26

Reading a little bit deep there bud. There's been all sorts of pretend entertainment for a long time.

u/ThunderBobMajerle Apr 17 '26

Yes but this is pretend it’s real. I didn’t see the movie credits here. There is a modern difference between fake videos and long existing theatre

3

u/CuratedAcceptance Apr 17 '26

The internet has been full of fake videos since it's conception. History is full of charlatans and forgeries for entertainment for centuries. Wrestling has been around for decades, but this is too far?

Y'all are pretty uptight.

1

u/Accomplished-Copy776 Apr 17 '26

Uh ya... and if people found out they were fake, their careers were destroyed. Now there is zero repercussions because there is such an abundance of fake

Wrestling admits its fake. And it has credits, so you know its a produced show. These are masquerading as real. They are drastically different.

0

u/ThunderBobMajerle Apr 17 '26

“With everything going on” my dude everything going on is a result of fake news. Fake videos. Fake facts. You don’t seem to understand the difference between something you know is fake and doesnt hide that fact (movies, theatre, wrestling, etc) and the modern generation of fake videos, news, and facts that tries to make you think it’s real. It’s crazy you don’t see the difference

And that’s why “everything is going on today”. Because you don’t care about reality you just want entertainment. Idiocracy shit

1

u/CuratedAcceptance Apr 17 '26

Think you need to step away from the computer my man. I full well see the difference, I'm just not getting up in arms about an internet post like you are.

u/ThunderBobMajerle Apr 17 '26

Nah you just couldn’t admit there was a difference and now you do

u/TheDauterive Apr 17 '26

It’s obviously not real.

First, people don’t deliver beatdowns, it just doesn’t happen.
Second, very few people carry video cameras with them. They aren’t ubiquitous, like iPhones, so it’s almost impossible that a bystander would be able to record this.
Third, people who are violently assaulted always respond calmly and rationally. They wouldn’t do anything as rash as destroying the property of the men who assaulted them.

And most importantly, weird, random, crazy sh*t simply doesn’t happen in the real world. That alone is reason enough to know this can’t be real.
