Nov 13 2009VIDEO Of Bugatti Veyron Crash Into Marsh. Oh, And I Called It -- No Low-Flying Pelican

first

Oo first (wow)

fail²

@1 & 2 yes we know, you're firstard losers & there's dozens of you..... hooray

OOHHH SHIIT

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ...oh dear it was a stupid fail just as a photo, now there's a video too......hope the insurance company like it!

did he say it's lambo?

Thats what happens wen you play with yourself in a car next to a marsh.

That man is a dumb ass

when i grow up, i want to be a dumbass... they always have the best stuff.

I'm so glad this video exists! HAHAHA

what he meant to say is he thought his CAR had become a pelican and was going for a fish... until it was toooo late

I just watched it another five times. The kid's reaction when the car goes off the road....... PRICELESS

@10 HA!

FAKE!

"What is it?"
"Pretty sure that's a Lambo dude"

FAIL! Although to be fair, not quite so big a fail as driving your $2million car into a marsh. Play him off, keyboard cat.

Is there a cheap Bugatti Veyron for sale in Texas? With possible water damage. I want it.

So, when the tow truck dude decides to turn the steering wheel even though the wheels are locked and just sliding along the ground anyway, what does that solve?

Regardless of the idiotic commentary (A lambo?), the footage is quite impressive.

Aww, it makes a lovely rainbow splash when it hits the water - those engineers thought of everything!

i'll forgive you kid for calling that a lambo since you like sublime.

although the linkin park song at the beginning is not helping you out either.

That looks like a totally different car.

Nevermind. After further review, I was just kidding.

@19

amen to that, sublime is the shit.

Wow, fail driver

and FAIL whoever towed the car.

you will not make this trip, jackass

omg as if. That's awesome.

For a limited time!!!

For sale....

PAK's.....Pelican Avoidance Kit.

Hate those pesky fish gobbling prehistoric oversized retarded parrots? We do to.
There's nothing worse than cruising the autobahn in your 2.1 million dollar hyper-car, only to be forced off the tarmac by the MESMORIZING grace of a pelican. Add a cell phone to the mix and now we're talking epic fail.

The PAK kit includes:

Side mounted bottle rocket launchers which are activated by a military grade in-motion motion sensor. This is the first step in thwarting the birds attack.

High pressure foam cannon - we don't know why, it just sounds cool.

Cat-apult - that's right, an industry first. What better way to distract a bird than to hurl its natural arch nemesis for an intercept? This roof mounted feline -powder actuated device can hold up to three (3) large house cats or one puma. (disclaimer - handling a puma can be very dangerous, so have a neighbor do it)

Finally, you vehicle will be equipped with an AK-47 assault rifle. This is not for the Pelican. This is for PETA, Al Gore, or that douche bag from Cheaters....Joey Greco.

$17,540.72

Lemme tell you, that video of the crash is the bane of that car owners existence. His insurers are going take that little video all the way to the bank. What a toolbox.

And I love you're guys site! added it to my aggregator ! Keep up the great work!

Now he might be able to afford the car in the future and one day it really will be his!

@ 16. the front wheels...you know, the ones that turn...they are not locked. i'd say they did a pretty good job towing this mess out. it was pulled out of a fucking lake.

it's a SCAM

Wait why didn't the boy with the vid contact the bughatti owner with a little blackmail? Even half of the cars worth would have done it. Now he has to buy a new one and the guy behind the camera gets nothing. I say: FAIL

What self respecting teenager calls that a Lamborghini? Stupid Floridians.

@29:

Yeah, but it's still fucked up to tow the rear wheels and thereby lock them.

You know, I *thought* it was about time we had a new euphemism for masturbating...

Watchin' a low-flyin' pelican!

@32 I believe they are texans which explains why they don't know the difference between a $100k and a $2mil car (rounding up/down).

Is it just me or was there NO pelican in the video at all, it just looked like he started veering off road like he wasnt payn attention

@33 Yeah, most cars have features so not anyone can just tow the car away.. and by the look of it something was getting fucked up.. the back tires should be turning? or am i wrong???

anyway, i have an older car that got flooded and was in just as deep of water(by looking at the video) and it still runs fine today.

Seriously who cares if he thought if it was a lambo or not, it's an expensive car that only a .1% of the world population will own. As far as I care there really isn't a big difference in technology once you reach above 100k, so a car going for 1mil looks pretty damn similar to one going for 100k. Except for the whale penis leather seats of course

I didn't even know that car existed until last week, so I don't really care if he called it the wrong name or not... in fact, I bet most people on here wouldn't even know what kind of car it was if it wasn't said.

um, the post about this first said it was worth 2 mill. now you say its worth 1.6 mill. thats a $400,000 difference...

lambo wtf that clearly a bugatti

I don't know much about cars either, but I know epic fail when I see it.

Wait a minute, they came back and recorded the towing, with cops watching. Yeah, that's a no go for the blackmail plan. I'm sure the video was considered useful as soon as the police saw they were recording.

Can't be bothered checking if anyone mentioned it yet,
but props for listening to SUBLIME boys.

"Nobody ever told her its the wrong waaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

looks like a different car cos the one on the news has a spoiler and the other one doesn't. or maybe I just missed it (?)

If I drive my -97 Volvo into a lake, no one cares... This is so wrong.

You know what's funny.... if you look at the video of the crash you'll notice that his spoiler/air brake wasn't deployed when he was driving. Allthough, if you look at the video frame-by-frame, you might get the impression it only deploys the moment he hits the water. So either it's a safety feature, where the car uses the air brake because it just plumited into friggin water and wants to swim to the shore, ooor the knob behind the weel was trying to deploy it manually and then succeeded... at which point he hit the water.

Oh I'd be interested to see what the insurance people think of that video :D
MWHUHAHAHAHAHAHA idiot. No I'm not jealous; I have 4 of those.... pelicans.

video of the crash is gone...
Linky anyone?

IRS adds are awesome..................

Ur moms is bigggggggggggeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

What a moron it doesen't look like he even tried steer out if it or maybe he was too distracted by the big low flying pelican you can see in the video.

woooeeee boy you got urself a purtty car. You got urself some purrty lips too.

Am i the only one who is thinking that its an awfully interesting coincidence that these guys were taping that as it happened?????

If I owned that car, I would NEVER take my eyes off of the road. That thing is way too powerful to be worrying about pelicans or your cell phone or your penis. The relationship between money and intelligence is not always positive.

" I think thats a Ferrari dude. " *face palm*

" I think thats a Lambo dude. " *face palm*

" I think thats a Mercedes dude. " *face palm*

I believe.....sometimes you have to wreck the Bugatti to collect the insurance money to make the car payment.

Times are tough.

@44,

Veyron's Spolier can be put up or down, depending on what mode it's in.

I linked back to you, cause you are awesome GW :3

He hit something when passing the post, just when he was pulling even with the folks with the camera. You can see it splash on the road. Still, that was a long ways before he went off the road.

Given the ratio of production:idiot owners this may very well be (statistically) the most crashed car available followed by the Enzo.

Pretty sure that's a Lambo dude

wow. way to be. how stupid for him to drive such a car plain into the water. what an irrisponsible idiot. DDDD:

how many people can comment saying "what an idiot calling it a lambo". I would not know either i don't search cars i will never have...

Ok, first off to the driver... Your an idiot. But secondly to all of you who say the person towing the car, your stupid. Take a look at the front wheels their obviously not locked up, therfore, he can turn the car. Idiots.

i like how the song they're playing is "the wrong way". ha how fitting.

WHO CARES WHAT CAR THE GUY THINKS IT IS, my goodness.

@51: No, a lot of people would film a 2 million dollar car if they ever saw one.

That's just criminal in my mind! Who would crash a 1.6 million car to avoid a so called pelican?

What a nice car. Too bad it ended like this. I mean, who will spend a million on a car which seats have been soaked with dirty water.

@44

The spoiler for the Veyron comes up when it goes above a certain speed. (similar to some Porsche).

Normally the spoiler would retract after driving awhile, but a crash would not give it enough time for retraction of spoiler.

OOps:

Normally the spoiler would retract after driving awhile [at slower speed], but a crash would not give it enough time for retraction of spoiler.

Reminds me of Risky Business...."Who's the U-Boat commander?"

VIDEO OF THE CRASH!!!!

Here is the video AND the Facebook page for the kid that filmed it:

Enjoy ;)

Just so all of you "look the tires aren't locked" guys know, that car is 4 wheel drive. They probably didn't put tow hooks on the car because it wasn't meant to be towed and it probably messed with the airflow somehow, who knows, but no tow hooks means you need to hook to something so the wheels it was. You stop the back wheels, you're going to stop all 4.

If you want to see a Veyron treated properly, check out Topgear.com or catch them on BBC America on Monday and Friday nights. This isn't an ad...just a good idea.

I always said the Veyron would make a big splash someday.
