seeder Posted August 5, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Quote Held UP in traffic! Extraordinary video shows car inexplicably suspended in mid-air during a storm A huge storm in West Suffield, Connecticut left a car hanging off its back wheels The car can be seen stuck upright as rain lashes down and traffic draws to a halt The video was filmed by a shocked couple in the opposite row of traffic Storms have brought rain, lightning, gusty winds of 60 mph in Connecticut Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4761866/video-shows-car-suspended-mid-air-storm.html#ixzz4os738Jam 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Wellington Posted August 5, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) I`m calling that out as fake. While cars standing up vertically can happen with one of the photos its quite apparent that the cars centre of gravity wouldnt be positioned to allow it. It take hurricane strength winds to keep it stood up yet there is no evidence of such a strong winds effects on the other vehicles.

Susanc241 Posted August 5, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Have you not seen the fire department pic of the front end entangled up in overhead wires? Not sure how it got so entangled but that pic looks legit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's another angle. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With photoshop these days, people seem to make that leap at first glance assuming an image is fraud. Not always. This image would appear fake but it's real. It was taken in the Ozarks at a river where the water is so crystal clear that the kayak seems to be floating on air. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnchorSteam Posted August 6, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Honestly, folks, if you are not 100% sure of your driving skills, then either don't go out in the crappy weather or take a class or two. They may cost a few $$, but they help, a LOT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Waters Posted August 7, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 7, 2017 The drivers account of what happened - Quote Mom recounts terrifying moments when car gets tangled in wires A Connecticut mother remained calm as she communicated to a dispatcher while she and her kids in a car was tangled in possibly live electrical wires and suspended on a pole. http://www.wfsb.com/story/36056232/911-calls-released-after-car-gets-caught-on-power-lines-in-ct 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted August 7, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 7, 2017 OK, it's not a fake. Can you imagine the wind velocity needed to lift the car? That's scary enough that people were out in that type of weather in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Wellington Posted August 7, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) This is 100% fake. Care has been taken to produce a good fake but still the evidence of image manipulation exists. If you zoom into the picture with paint you can see image blurring of the car along its edges which also blurs the background. The blurring is an effect applied to stop you realising the car has been pasted in. Edited August 7, 2017 by RabidMongoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And fox news? Quote Suffield family grateful to first responders who rescued them after dramatic accident “I was panicking but I did understand obviously,” she said. “They knew that we were in the car. I knew that we were safe.” Beaulieu said, “The dispatcher was amazing, the firefighters, everybody that approached us and helped us out made my kids feel very safe. The EMS team that took us out of the scene were so, so good with my kids. They just made us feel so calm and safe, and so that made the situation better.” http://fox61.com/2017/08/03/suffield-family-grateful-to-first-responders-who-rescued-them-after-dramatic-accident/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the pole - without zooming in on paint. Did you see post 5? nothing is fake about this picture. How do you explain the reflection of the trees on the cars windows, bonnet and roof....they are in line with how the car is angled, Edited August 7, 2017 by freetoroam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reflection in the car window is not off the trees we can see. And again, if you zoom in you can see both lighting disturbances and blurring around the car where the creator has tried (quite well but not perfectly) to insert a video of a car into one of trees and a road as a background. Its fake. If you have ever tried this yourself you will be familiar with the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car is not standing up by its self, it is caught up in the cables. And it is not "real just because other people say it is.", it is real because it was recorded, the fire service is there, are they pasted in as well? . I can not believe you are even questioning this video. How can you not see the reflections on the bonnet, windows and roof as being real? how can you not even see the car caught up in the cables? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
