The "You've Gotta See This" Video Thread
Have a crazy/interesting/unique video that we just need to see? Please feel free to share it here
I caught this Escalade that was fully engulfed in flames on the side of the highway a few months back... Last edited by sirdaft1; 03-14-2016 at 07:50 AM.. |

At the end of the Escalade video: is someone not wearing their seatbelt?

Amazing how quick these went up. From the time the fire started to the time the Fire Department was putting water onto the fire was less than 15 minutes (not sure how long it took for someone to call the FD, there were several employees on their cell phones within moments of it starting).
If you're ever "urban camping" an RV and one catches on fire on the row you're in, drop everything and get it out of there (and if you can't do that make sure to get your family safe). The fire jumped from motorhome to motorhome pretty quick (granted they were parked a lot closer than what would be at any campsite, but still...). Edit: one thing I will note, almost everyone there was concerned about the fire getting to the fuel tanks (3 diesels, 1 gas, plus each with a full propane tank) and the expected explosions. It became readily apparent that Hollywood has influenced our expectations as there were no such explosions, no parts raining down or people getting knocked off their feet. Then again maybe it's because nobody runs "NOS" on an RV:

Awesome thread idea but you may want to edit the thread title to: The "You've gotta see this!" thread
The current title is a little misleading.

lol....didn't see your 'location' until after watching the vid. It was the building coming up on the West side of the highway that gave me one of those "that looks familiar" moments.

THis is an oldie but goodie. My friend filmed this the day we got new vending machines in the break room. I put up a sign saying it was voice activated and our dumbass co-worker bought into it. Unfortunately HR caught up to it and found out I put up the sign and he filmed this. lol
