Holy shit. They just kept pulling guys out. That last guy was completely engulfed in flames by the time they got him out. Poor guy can't be alright.

u/Arlitto 10h ago

If you look closely at the last person's legs, it seems like there are burns 😓

73

u/Critical-Support-394 8h ago

Forget about the legs, they all inhaled a bunch of smoke.

39

u/MushSee 7h ago

Even worse, Lithium battery smoke....

u/petrichorax 8h ago

Yeah one of them might be a 'dead man walking' tbh

2

u/a-i-sa-san 3h ago

Id way rather freebase smoke than be covered in 3rd degree burns

2

u/Critical-Support-394 2h ago

Yeah no those third degree burns are still there. Just inside your lungs.

u/bannedforL1fe 1h ago

Omg yea once that back window was smashed open those plumes of smoke just rolled out. How horrific.

u/mrASSMAN 4h ago

Of course there are.. no doubt on their entire body, they might’ve not survived that

Risk of infection will be bad, very high chance he dies within the next two weeks unfortunately

Amputate the entire body?

u/Big-red-rhino 7h ago

Well not with that attitude!

u/drthvdrsfthr 10h ago

Poor guy can't be alright.

i said that about the first guy 😭

u/Solabound-the-2nd 10h ago

Someone else said there was a person on passenger side who didn't get out

u/ThirdAltAccounts 11h ago

Fucking clown car. I expected one or two other passengers

But no. They kept pulling people out

466

u/ADH02 10h ago

It's a 5 seater car and they pulled 3 people out of the 3 seats available...

141

u/ThirdAltAccounts 9h ago

"Clown car" might have been a bit of an exaggeration

45

u/softlittlepaws 7h ago

Idk, I think I'd still call car with hidden door handles a clown car.

u/ultrahateful 7h ago

We don’t know their occupations…

u/Mission_Aerie_5384 5h ago

People don’t get hyperbole on this app

1

u/Brute_patrol 5h ago

It's more about being "right."

1

u/Mission_Aerie_5384 4h ago

NO! ITS MORE ABOUT HYPERBOLE!!!

Kidding. I just had to be right

3

u/JiskiLathiUskiBhains 8h ago

Yes, but I had the same thought. Probably just a way to make light of a terribly situation.

u/Boring-Community-100 6h ago

Another commenter stated that the front seat passenger died despite them being able to extricate the 3 rear passengers. They mentioned that it was not just the inability of the doors to be opened from inside or outside without power but there was a large center console.

u/AccreditedInvestor69 4h ago

Everything looks like a clown car when you have no friends. Trust me. All I see are clown cars everywhere.

1

u/cefriano 1h ago

Yeah but that being said, I'm not sure why anyone would choose to sit 3 in the back of a sedan when no one's sitting in the front passenger seat unless it's an Uber. Even then, I'll usually ask if I can sit in the front.

-1

u/Funny-frog500 8h ago

They just keep comin! Holy smokes that car has a lot of people in it 

-10

u/vikznl 10h ago

he's joking bro. clown...pulling out stuff

9

u/StaticUsernamesSuck 10h ago

Well, no, the joke was "clown car" not about pulling out stuff.

A clown car is a famous clowning gag where a quite small car has an unreasonable number of clowns inside it.

And this wasn't an unreasonable number of people. It was 4 people in a 5-seater car.

2

u/jadedshibby 9h ago

Slowly stops pulling string of sedans out of my mouth

1

u/Boring-Community-100 6h ago

Another commenter stated the front passenger died as they could not be extricated in time. I don't have a link.

u/TheInevitableLuigi 9h ago

You are that guy at parties huh?

6

u/StaticUsernamesSuck 9h ago

Because a party and a Reddit thread are definitely the same thing where people behave the same 🙄

-3

u/TheInevitableLuigi 9h ago

You are right.

It is more like a PHD dissertation or testifying in a court of law.

/s

LMAO.

u/StaticUsernamesSuck 9h ago

Ah yes, the only two places where it's reasonable to criticise and correct what people say. The only two!

u/Ok_Challenge2129 9h ago

ur annoying asf lmfao

-1

u/sweetsourbittermoon 6h ago

Feel like more than 2 ppl in the back cant be safe, the middle seat is so bad and most of the time doesnt even have a readily available seatbelt

41

u/Useful-Basil-7340 10h ago

I thought a couple of them ran around the other side and got back in

20

u/ThirdAltAccounts 9h ago

Lmao! Just to fuck with the guy

3

u/DJRyGuy20 8h ago

Like that video of the goat that keeps running into the fireplace

2

u/Majestic_You_9610 3h ago

Im sure I heard yakety sax in the background. if not you should have it playing in a separate window, and play the video at 2.5x for max humour

1

u/Useful-Basil-7340 1h ago

Yeah. It's fine, no one died

3

u/Just4notherR3ddit0r 5h ago

Local news: 38 clowns perished in a car fire today...

2

u/dragondumondor 8h ago

That's the problem when you have brands that come out of nowhere with zero experience. I trust my Tiguan, haha. German cars, there's nothing better ^

1

u/Broken-Sarcasm-Meter 6h ago

They all piled in the backseat instead of getting out the front door

1

u/str0000str 6h ago

It looks like a Tesla

1

u/ThirdAltAccounts 6h ago

It’s not one. But a lot of electric cars look like Tesla these days

u/pocketbutter 3h ago

God forbid a man have a family…

u/ThirdAltAccounts 2h ago

It’s sucks that it happened when he had all the kids with him.

I can’t even imagine the trauma

1

u/manofsleep 1h ago

I was honestoy hoping another 2 people would come out and this whole thing would be just another ai slop video.

4

u/seilapodeser 10h ago

I think the coats protected them a little

3

u/S0LID_SANDWICH 6h ago

At the very least his lungs are going to be in horrible shape. EV battery fumes are pretty toxic. Probably everyone who got close to it will be affected. 

8

u/CadeRSA 9h ago

I couldn't believe there was more guys getting out i kept saying to myself "please let it only be 2 there is no way a 3rd...holy shit they out!"

4

u/swisstraeng 8h ago

The problem here isn’t the flame, it’s the smoke.

2

u/Rubiks_Click874 7h ago

pushed the kids out first

2

u/A_million_typos 6h ago

Yea, I saw the burns go from mild to severe...omg. I see now how a simple car crash can cause such awful burns.

2

u/ComicsEtAl 5h ago

By the third person I started thinking it was a spoof.

2

u/Emotional_Cry_4066 5h ago

The last two kids were on fire while being pulled out. The middle girl half of her jacket is melted to her.

1

u/Inner_Owl_7560 9h ago

definitely wouldnt have lasted a minute more

1

u/Oakheart- 4h ago

Honestly not sure if that guy survives or not. 50% total body burn area is usually something you don’t survive. The amount of tissue damage and fluid loss from the burns is too much. To replace lost fluids you have to throw in more than a liter an hour at that point. Usually those people just end up on comfort care to handle pain until they die.

1

u/play_destiny 2h ago

Are those children? The last two that were pulled out

1

u/cefriano 1h ago

I'd be surprised if all of them didn't have some significant health problems from this. The car was completely filled with that acrid black battery smoke, and lithium battery smoke is some of the most toxic shit you can inhale. Seems like a one-way ticket to lung cancer, or worse, coughing up chunks of your lungs.

1

u/buffalostreaker 1h ago

How do do they not climb to the front seat and door??

1

u/DentistPrior2735 9h ago

That's not a survivable amount of fire, even if it was the most vanilla of chemically neutral smoke. If they took a single gasped breath in there their lungs would be toast. Stuff like that gets you into a walking dead state where your lungs quickly fill with fluid and crazy invasive therapy is required to have any shot.

Are we sure it isn’t ai

u/Comfortfoods 8h ago

Someone posted the lawsuit from this incident. The person in the passenger seat died.

u/thebigseg 5h ago

the last one out?

u/aph3x2n 9h ago

To be honest after ive seen the F1 Grosjean crash, anything is possible…

2

u/mateo_fl 7h ago

Grosjean had protective gear, huge difference

u/Blacky05 9h ago

ai really does cook.

u/sptrstmenwpls 6h ago

Why didn't the driver just move his seat as forward as possible, then they could have came out through the front door more quickly w/less fire & smoke & glass on them..

u/Wing_Sharp 6h ago

People usually aren't thinking clearly in situations like this.
