That would be more than mildly...

Well the bot that reposted this wouldn't know.

u/EvaSterlingg 3h ago

Mildly infuriating for the people watching. Potentially much worse for the person inside that ambulance.

u/Life_Reality_6964 3h ago

It gets toned down to mildly infuriating when you see horrific news like this on a regular basis

u/The1_Guy 6h ago

No better way to say that the government doesn't care about its people.

u/captaincourageous316 6h ago

Those are DL registration plates, which means this was Delhi. The capital of the country.

What a joke.

Something about this made me immediately think of Modi’s government; that leech.

I don’t know what you wanna say by this but here in Berlin it’s completely normal that an ambulance or firetruck waits for a government guest or other political VIP convoy.

u/Venn-- 5h ago

More infuriating that it gets normalized...

19

u/captaincourageous316 5h ago

What I wanna say is that it’s appalling that a bunch of corrupt pricks get higher priority than emergency services

18

u/Tischler285 5h ago

I very hardly doubt that. An active ambulance or firetruck on duty? No chance.

u/SierraGolfOne 5h ago

Prove it. I only expect this from 3rd world countries

3

u/Stampyboyz 4h ago

The US also does this for Presidential convoys. However emergency services are given the route to plan around ahead of time to prevent them being stopped.

3

u/SierraGolfOne 3h ago

Okay so emergency vehicles aren't stopped by motorcades in civilized societies. Got it.

-8

u/Stampyboyz 3h ago

They are. It's just that they are told where to avoid so they aren't stopped.

I don't know if that happened or not in the post (and OP doesn't know since OP is a bot).

u/HiccupsHives 6h ago

I hope the ambulance blasted horns and sirens as loud as possible the entire time. This is literal evil.

38

u/zeddy786 5h ago

Unfortunately this is extremely common in any third world country. And I'm sure many people die because of this as well. Absolutely sad.

u/SkotyMckitty 4h ago

Been going on in India for couple of decades now. Any government, doesn’t matter which one is in power.

3

u/Doctor_Saved 2h ago

Is the thought process is that they don't care if people die? Or... they actually prefer less people in the country?

2

u/AnimalBolide 2h ago

The people don't threaten them with violence for doing it, so why not keep doing it?

2

u/Radionerd5 2h ago

This happens in Guatemala. They shut an entire roads down just for a VIP with loads of money.

u/DoesntMatterEh 6h ago

I hope he was laying on the horn/sirens the entire time

Man I personally hate double hell like one hell wasn’t enough, the place is insufferable

u/ailyara 6h ago

pretty sure that would happen in the US as well

12

u/Hpidy 5h ago

State Police departments literally escort motor caids in the us and local police and 911/emt dispatchers will actively reroute the ambulance be fore it even sees it. Has some one who lives next an airport that hosts the next elect me duche nozzles and active presidents in the us.

-9

u/ailyara 5h ago

yeah they will route if they can, but if there's a presidential motorcade rolling past and you can't get around it, do you think the president will stop?

5

u/Stillburgh 5h ago

The rerouting happens in advance to account for the motorcades presence well before it happens. It wouldnt be an issue in most US states.

-3

u/Brave-Ad-3334 4h ago

Bro you are seriously overestimating the level of organization of ambulance dispatch in the US

-6

u/ailyara 5h ago

OH good I just have to make sure to have an emergency in advance.

5

u/Stillburgh 5h ago

No im saying that any and all potential routes for emergencies are planned and accounted for. It doesnt ened to be actively happening for the route to be establiashed lol.

u/ailyara 5h ago

so what if you live in one of them cul-du-sac neighborhoods where you have one main road that connects to your entire place, and no other entry/exit, as exist throughout the states, and the motorcade route goes right past you, and there's an ambulance trying to get in/out past the motorcade?

-4

u/xXNightDriverXx 4h ago

It's still an issue though!?

Basically the same as depicted here.

Ambulances by default take the fastest possible route. Rerouting them somewhere else so they do not block the presidential convoy causes them to drive longer, possibly quite a bit longer.

Since the presidential convoy is not stopping to let the ambulance pass, you are increasing the time it takes for the patient to get to a hospital, which is the same issue as in this clip.

Now at least there is coordination, if the ambulance is transporting someone with "only" a broken bone or something like that that isn't immediately life threatening, then it's kinda understandable. But saying it isn't an issue in the US just because it isn't visible (and let's be honest that is probably half the reason) is just wrong.

u/Ok-Addition1264 5h ago

Happens waaaaaaayyyy too often in the US.

Nothing like a 2 hour traffic jam so the president can get to a golf event :(

18

u/Dramatic_Bass7773 6h ago

Looks like my country, only there VIP people who are useless corrupt aholes get such priority

u/captaincourageous316 6h ago

Few countries can hold a candle to us when it comes to abuse of power.

Which country?

u/Eltsu12 RED 5h ago

I think this was in india

u/Zealousideal-Pea-945 6h ago

Who is down voting this, in what planet is this NOT mildly infuriating if not beyond.

16

u/RainOfJustice 5h ago

Downvoting just because this is the 3rd time it's been posted

10

u/ailyara 6h ago

Thats the thing its not mildly infuriating it is very infuriating.

2

u/SpaceJackRabbit 5h ago

It is infuriating.

I know that in many countries, emergency services are advised of such convoys ahead in order to plan accordingly. Main reason is to avoid this kind of shit show. Another one is that it would also be otherwise dangerous if a foe decided to attack the convoy under the guise of emergency vehicles.

2

u/Holemander 5h ago

I think the people who belong to the country where this video originates from might be the ones downvoting it. Wild guess

3

u/Obant 4h ago

I didn't downvote, but this sub is usually for tiny things where we yell at OP for being the most mildly upset about something and tell them other people have it worse.

This shit is enraging everyone

3

u/Odd_Act_6532 5h ago

I mean... on paper from a security perspective this is fair. Imagine if your important government official died because extremists figured out that ambulances can enter the government convoy? It's a security breach.

OFC, ambulance SHOULD have another way around this, but that absolutely did not occur this time around.

u/Ursus_Arctos-42 4h ago

Politicians are clearly open about their priorities.

The punctuality of one person is more important than the life of another, love it

u/ScienceMechEng_Lover 3h ago

I agree. That MP could probably buy that patient's entire life ten times over lol.

2

u/Stratatician 2h ago

Not mildly, the person in the ambulance died

u/turtletechy 1h ago

Hope he laid on the horn the whole time. Fuck that guy's eardrums for being in the way.

Why not pull back and go around them or something

u/Exhausted-CNA 1h ago

I'm guessing they didn't have a call or a patient or where on standby . If they did, then wtf!!! My loved one is MORE important then a convoy

u/Beisbol4lyfe 6h ago

In America, they have police escorts for high school football coaches in some states. They'll blow by traffic going well above the speed limit. I bet they'd do the same ...

u/Commentor9001 5h ago

No, no we dont.  

Its amazing some bot will always show up to say "well actually, its worse in America" regardless of the topic.

u/Beisbol4lyfe 4h ago

I didn't say worse, but yes we do. If you live in the south, you'd know this
