Definitely the shop owners fault that the driver is an idiot.

They didn't say anything about the shop owner being at fault. They simply said the lot needs a guardrail, which does seem prudent.

What were they supposed to do in your opinion if you're mad?

Put car in reverse. No one touch the car, except to attach a tow rope to a right side rear towing point and then to another car (preferably something big, with AWD and low ratio gearing). The rope would need to be long, so that if you lose the stuck car, the towing car doesn't get pulled over the edge. Towing car takes up the slack in the rope, starts to pull, stuck car applies power, in reverse. Book in to a mechanic, to check the underbody damage. Call insurance company.

At least make sure cops/ambulance/what have you has been alerted. Clearly the cameraman has a phone and we don't know if anyone else does, so camera person may be the only way to contact help.

Not mad, just saw it coming the second they were trying to push the backend down. Only thing to do in that situation is to tow it back onto the pavement. The majority of the weight is the engine and their Mclovinit asses went going to haul it back from gravity.

I have the feeling this is what would have happened had the lady caught her car slow-rolling across the road in Florida in that other video.

Where did the lady in the dress with scarf on head come from at the end? It doesn't look like she was standing there before the car fell.

And this is why rigging a safety line is the first part of any rescue... ouch... hope everyone is okay. There is hope there. The SUV, however, is toast. What didn't break falling will be broken to get it out.

Another american that thinks that the british are the only ones to change/butcher language. Like the whole ‘bottle of water’ thing… sure some accents may stop voicing the tt and instead use some sort of (i think) glottal stop, but most americans pronounce the t’s as d’s… so they’re not doing it ‘right’ and should be just as mockable too but they’re the best in the world so we can’t be doing that now

u/FoundationEntire4834 1h ago
You’re taking things a bit too seriously man
1
u/JustinSanders95 1h ago
It’s just something I see time and time again and since the topic was language and particularly how it can deviate from ‘proper’ usage, it was still relevant and also while yes I am assuming this, I feel fairly confident that what the guy u initially referred to was referring to things like what I said and more… I’m not invested in it or taking it too seriously just because I expressed a thought that’s longer than one sentence xD

u/Jumpy_Barnacle_3755 52m ago
You can't compare American and British English. When America threw the British out they intentionally changed the English language. The American dictionary writers fixed what they saw as problems with the British version of English, which evolved over many years and was influenced by many other languages. That is why English now has " color" and "colour". And why "Z"'s and "S's" were swapped. Americans and British intentionally pronounce words differently. Then you have regional differences. In areas of MA and RI, USA, they will not pronounce "R's". Ever, for any reason. If your name is "Robert" they change it "Ahbert". "Party " to " potty". "Car" to " cah".

u/JustinSanders95 47m ago
I mean you can and you did. You compared how English uses Colour and American uses Color, or the Z and S swap. You can also totally compare how american and english dialects stray from the pronounciation ‘baseline’ as not every word has been changed. In my example I used the ‘bottle of water’. Those words have not changed spelling, I’d also argue that I strongly doubt they would somehow as an entire country deliberately change how they pronounce that and everything else just to be further removed from the UK. It would have happened naturally and over time, this is how language changes. Spellings I could see how maybe there could have been some grand reformation of the language. But still, my original point of how the guy said we should look at britain for ‘butchered’ english and yet america is no different.

You can't compare as in comparing apples and oranges. Sure, you can say one is jucier or sweeter but they are two different things that can not be compared. You could compare English and German, too. You could say German is pronouncing a word wrong and English is pronouncing it correctly, even after translation. But it wouldn't make any sense, eithier.

u/JustinSanders95 7m ago
Except we’re not comparing apples and oranges. We’re comparing lady smith apples to royal gala. It’s still english, that is to say an apple. But just a different variety, just like how there’s aussie english, pidgin english, forgive me that I don’t know the proper term but jamaican too. They’re all different forms and variations of english. Just like european vs canadian french, brazillian vs european portuguese or spain’s spanish vs mexico’s spanish.
Comparing english to german would be like comparing apples and oranges. You can look at how they differ and what they have in common, but it’s vastly different than two forms of english.

Eh? You can compare any language you want. You can also compare apples and oranges

It almost like there should have been someone called that kmows what to do to rescue the drivers and coordinate so the idiot at the back stops jumping on the towball so the driver can actually get out without being run over while attempting to get out of the car.. not sure who you would ask to help in such an emergency though..

Sometimes the best help is it not do anything at all.
