Toyota Tundra and BMW X5 4.4 get owned by transformer pole

**derrinx** · 08-08-2007, 05:04 PM

Yesterday at work, at about 12:20 i was walking to the pizzeria next to the building we're working on to get lunch. I walk through the back as usual, and i see a white minivan backing out of a spot it was parked in. Didn't pay much attention to HER (obviously...) and the next thing i hear is the sound of a metal cable snapping, you know that wiplash sound. She backed into the a cable that supports one of those big wooden poles that hold up transformers to power buildings. So when I heard that noise look up, and I see this huge pole tilting to the left. Mind you each of those transformers weighs over 1000 pounds and there were 4 on that thing. It's tilting, and it's being pulled on by another pole its connected to, so it crashed right on the cab of this guys brand new (i mean the fucking guy bought it on monday, it had 48 miles on it..) fully loaded toyota tundra. the cab turned into a pancake, and the bottom half of the pole fell on the hood of some guy's X5 4.4. For the first second i thought ths yellow shit spilling everywhere was gasoline, but then i realized it jsut the oil in the transformers used to cool them.. the pics speak for themselves... sorry shitty cellphone pics

as soon as it happened.. notice the X5 at the base of the pole

after LIPA picked those heavy shits up..

close up...

pretty sure any toyota product far exceeds the likes of your bonneville in terms of style, quality, reliability and anything else you can think of.

you seem to be a troll on this site... how about you go find some other place to be an immature kid.

you need not respond to this... just f.o.
