They've been showing this on the news for a few days now. You wanna know what's REALLY amazing about it? After the car disintegrated, as you can see in the video, the teenager driving it is STILL ALIVE. I believe they said he was approaching 110mph when he hit the rail...

I can't fathom how ANYONE survived that crash. Here's a follow-up article: http://www.wdtn.com/dpp/news/video:-...caught-on-tape Text from the link: Cruiser cam catches 100 mph crash The crash shut down freeway for six hours Updated: Tuesday, 24 Aug 2010, 1:37 PM EDT Published : Monday, 23 Aug 2010, 3:26 PM EDT SUGARCREEK TWP., Montgomery Co. (WDTN) - The cruiser cam video that captured a horrific single car crash on Interstate 675 in Beavercreek, Ohio Aug. 23 has gone viral on the internet. Brennan S. Eden, 19, of Mason, Ohio, lost control of his car and slammed into the concrete pillar of a bridge south of Indian Ripple Road about 7:15 a.m. The force of the crash broke the car into three pieces and Brennan was ejected. Witnesses said moments before the crash, Brennan was passing other drivers at speeds of at least 100 mph. He crashed when he drove off the left side of the roadway while passing a Sugarcreek Twp. police car. The crash was caught on that officer's cruiser camera. "He went down into the median, into the grass, hit the guardrail, went airborne and the car hit the center post of the bridge and literally exploded into three main pieces," said witness Mark Riley. Police said Brennan was alert and conscious after the crash and was flown to Miami Valley Hospital by Careflight where he was last listed in critical condition. "He is very lucky to still be alive at this point," said Ohio State Highway Patrol Lt. Marty Fellure. "You can see behind me the impact he took and where he got ejected and landed, he's a very fortunate man right now." Fellure said they are still investigating the crash trying to determine Eden's speed and why he was passing cars on the berm. The crash shut down the southbound lanes for nearly six hours. HOLY SHIT!

Lucky doesn't even cut it. This kid must have a higher purpose in life. He should have never survived that. And he was conscious after?!? WTF?

[LouCipherr]

I know! I don't get how he survived at all, much less being awake when paramedics got there.. The cop says you can see where he was ejected - I can't make it out in the video, but I've been trying.. all I see is a car launch into the air, turn sideways in mid-air, side-swipe some concrete bridge supports, then explode into what seems like many pieces.

Just as well the drivers seat is on the left in American cars. If that was over here, he would have been mush.

[LouCipherr]

Cinerary - that was just wrong! Is it also wrong that I lmao @ that gif?

Is it also wrong that I lmao @ that gif? It may well be, but it's hard to resist

[bassman]

That gif is awesome.

[Cinerary]

Haha, had to do it.

+100 on the gif... I wonder if his car was a firebord/trans am... I am not 10%% I thought it looked closer to a Nissan 240

holy fuck, funniest thing i've seen in quite a while! on a side note, what sort of car was the kid driving? looks like a camaro or firebird to me. when i first got my trans am i put the speed-o well into the triple digits a few times, then thought about how much a speeding ticket like that would cost (wreckless driving charges, loss of liscense, fines, etc) or even worse, how fucking terrible a crash at those speeds would be. for a quick glance at a similar crash victim with worse luck, do an image search for 'porsche girl'...pretty nasty stuff, so google at your own risk.

Dj was right, it is indeed a firebird. I've had my BMW into the triple-digits only once in my life, and I doubt I'll do it again. I got a call from my son's school, and I bolted the the school (yes, there is a reason I needed to get there that fast, it wasn't just because I 'wanted' to) - then, just like PC, I started thinking "holy shit, if I was ever in a wreck at this speed...." and that was the end of that. It only lasted about 2-3 minutes, and never again. PC - I've seen the Porche Girl pictures - not a pleasant sight, but a warning to all, like this kid, where driving at 100+mph could land you (pun intended).
