OT- **Live** Video Of the Bugatti Veyron Being Driven Into the Water!
You all have seen the video aftermath of the moron who drove the Veyron into the salt marsh?
Here is it happening in realtime (un-fricken-believable timing):

You will not believe your eyes.

I think it's funny (or really effing stupid) to blame a pelican for him dropping his phone. Gee, it wasn't him screwing around on the phone itself?
I didn't even see a bird in that video.

that is one of the worst things i've seen that didn't involve actual harm to anyone. I mean, at first I laughed, and then I thought about how I would feel if my porsche went swimming.

The is supposedly the backstory-
"Driver has been identified being Andy House, the owner of Performance Auto Sales in Lufkin, a company that restores wrecked exotics.
Couldn't spot the pelican he claimed causing him to swerve as he said earlier. The man's handphone had slipped out of the car's centre console and he reached to retrieve it from the floorboard, Houston Chronicle reported.
When he sat up, he was startled by a pelican flying low alongside the Bugatti and the front tire subsequently strayed onto the shoulder of the road.
The man couldn't regain control, the police told Houston Chronicle. There were no indications that the driver was speeding."
I know if I were his insurance company I would be looking at this claim REALLY closely
There is certainly NO pelican in that video. Hmmmm

Wow...I can't believe someone caught this on film.
The video poster might receive a bribe to remove the video so the pelican can remain the cause of the accident.

No pelicans seen here either.
Most likely he was too busy looking at the car filming his cool self that he didn't realize that he was drifting off the road until it was too late.

I didn't see a pelican -- but if ever faced with having to choose between even a few million pelicans (much less one) or my $1.7M Bugatti, I wouldn't have to think about it at all. Well, that's not entirely true -- I'd be worried about the crap they'd probably splatter all over on my clearcoat as I plowed through 'em.

+1 I think this was an intentional publicity stunt of some sort. Just too coincidental that he fixes wrecked exotics for a living and there just happened to be someone shooting video at the same time...and of course no pelican. It has great shock value and everyone is going to know his name after this or at least seen the video.
