"INVOLVED IN A CRASH" "WERE EATING IN A RESTAURANT WHEN AN OUT OF CONTROL CAR DROVE THROUGH THE WALL" FTFY

Police report, probably: "Restaurant collided with a moving vehicle."

Hope they're ok. That looked jagged.

did they say what kind of bike crashed that Resturant? I’d like to get one of those

(It was reported as being a car)

really? I am shocked becasuse it always seems to be the cyclists fault

Those slider were certainly a hit, huh?

Holy shit

I’ve never understood how watching someone eat and making google eyes is supposed to entice one to eat the same food. They do the same thing in China and have you seen some of the shit they eat?

I wasn’t expecting that, wow!

Wow, that looked horrible. I hope they’re okay. Kudos to the chefs and the cooks b/c that food looked awesome. 👏

Yeah. The driver of that car couldn't wait to get in for dome

*some. Dammit

The food did look amazing! RIP delicious food! I hope the two people are okay. That’s scary as hell. It’s going to take awhile to feel safe after that!

They just about to enjoy dinner but it got ruined by a accident, at least they are still alive, but this is scary.

Please spread too all people recording their food. You’ve been warned.

Can I get the sliders, hold the shards of tempered glass?

Holy moly! That’s crazy!

Hope they’re ok

The way buildings and walls just leap into traffic to give cars and drivers a bad name.

I thought that was Evelyn Lozado from Basketball Wives. Lol

A car involved crashing.

Now that’s a drive thru restaurant

Cars are a menace and detriment to our society.

Hey knuckleheads, that’s not a “crash.” 🤦🏻‍♂️ www.eonline.com/news/1421329...

The flying glass sliced his pants wide open?

That was an ill-timed joke, he wore them that way because it's stylish, and I'm old.

😳😳😳

That's how 5 gum feels

Gosh what was the nature of their involvement?

OMG I hope his knees are ok, blue holes right through his pants!

Lousy jay-eaters. Learn how to have lunch and get out of the way of my car!

were they driving the car? oh sorry this was written by AI

Why is this written in cop-tense?

I hear his jeans were whole when they started recording

Crash diet

Wow! That’s a spicy meatball !

They should have been more considerate to the driver of that car and gotten out of the way sooner. Damned pedestrians sitting in their restaurants blocking people.

AND….. it was a bike lane 😕

NGL, I kinda hope that happens to all influencers gaining cred for others work. a chef working 90 hour weeks came up with those recipes. a immigrant cook made the ingredients and made the sandwiches to order.

Okay, so setting aside the sociopathy of "they deserve to get hit by a car," you know that the point of reviewing a restaurant's food is to increase business for the restaurant, right?

@thelouvreof.bsky.social 😆

Log off and think about what you wrote here.

dog what

Food reviews by decently well known reviewers typically will dramatically increase a restaurant’s business. If the owner is fair to the chef and staff, they end up making more money.

delete this crap and write some proper bait about how hormone & seed oil filled sliders are more dangerous than car crash

are you having a stroke

I understand the urge to dunk on influencers but that does NOT make sense at all lmao Could've just said "mukbangs r dum" like everyone else did

boy, you’re a miserable cunt

I hate when people cheers food!

thats an own

It was at Smash Burger restaurant

I can’t help but notice neither was wearing high-visibility clothing.

did a car write this? stop using the exonerative tense

This is not the journalistic integrity I expect from… PopCrave

Right???

"2 people were involved in a murder. Sure, one was the victim, but they were both involved."

Fucking passive voice.

The next bite might be a little crunchy.

“Involved in a crash while filming,” as though they had anything even remotely approaching responsibility for anything related to a total stranger’s SUV barreling through a building while they were eating. Your social media team needs training.

They weren't "involved in a crash" - they were hit by a driver.

Four stars for the food. One star for the ambience.

You should always wear helmets and HiViz while eating in a restaurant so you don’t become “involved in a crash”.

A+ camera tracking.

I hope they're alright but influencer culture needs to go, this shit is cringe

The food was a smashing success!

Reporting voice this passive makes me think someone working at pop crave was driving the car (and is a cop :p) "a crash happened, I didn't see anything, I was busy doing 40 through a wind- I mean, nowhere near the scene, but I heard a crash of some kind happened."

That was Not on the menu 🤷🏽‍♀️

I mean they got their content, right?

idk who either of these people are but do they always make sex noises when eating

No bc I have recently developed a big satisfied grunt while eating and I dk when it started but if the food slaps the sound is natural response 😅 it just sorta happens

i mean i do too but that was next level. i guess the food was too, until it got covered in glass

Only when they're about to get hit by a car.

I once involuntarily danced after a bite, the chef came out & surprised me with a second serving.

Guess I'm not the only one who doesn't like influencers.

1st - I hope everyone is well 2nd - yall in the comments 🫣 3rd - Me sitting in the corner when it happened 4th - read 1,2,3 again w/a focus on #2 …

Yikes

they were traumatized

When the flavor hits.

“Boom”

I was so confused by the caption, but yeap…oh my goodness. It is such a blessing they are okay! Oh my goodness.

I guess they darted in front of the car

"involved in a crash" do better, you dipshits

Omg! That’s horrible! I hope they are okay!

She did say "boom"

The people in the background…lol

how were the burgers?

years ago a colleagues daughter was killed (she was 19) when a vehicle drove through the restaurant she was sitting in, she was at the window seat as well. Hope these two are OK Scary as F

thank god they didnt get any of that glass in their mouths😟this is so scary

Wow that glass shredded his jeans. Lucky he wasn't badly hurt

“Boom” is right. Omg. 😳

“Involved in a crash” they were sitting indoors in a restaurant. Stop carrying water for car violence.

Where the cuts and blood?

"The food was great, but the self-driving parking service spoiled the ambience."

Boys, never get involved in crashes. Ok?

The look. I would hope the review on the food was satisfactory even if it was just,”one bite”.

There was another camera in the restaurant, and now we can finally identify who was at fault.

Does “involved” feel like the right verb here?

Is that one of those new pop-up drive-thrus I heard about?

Underrated post

Something should be done..

"were involved in a crash" sure sounds like they were driving around in a car or some shit dude, maybe try "almost crushed by a fuckin car that slammed into the restaurant they were in"

I don't see any helmets - they should be more careful.

These modern drive thrus are wild.

Bummer.

Smash burgers

I see they walked away, so hope they’re okay. But damn. Even the people behind them are in disbelief

The entire video - which includes the hospital visit - is on YouTube. They are indeed okay and even went back for another meal. The food looks delicious!

Hope that meal was on the house after the house was on them in their last visit.

Underrated comment, lol

I hope the negligent driver had to cover that cost, since the restaurant staff & ownership didn’t cause the meal to be smashed to bits.

They had some pretty scary looking cuts with all that glass that flew at them!

They sure did. At first I saw his pants with the holes in the knees and thought they were torn from the crash but it was just the style (I own several pair myself 🤭)

The lady in the middle starts moving for help before the car is even at rest, damn. She's a good person.

"The food will rise up to meet you. It was so light that it almost rose off the plate!"

Holy shit. The fact they weren’t seriously hurt is amazing.

The correct headline should read "A person carelessly operating a deadly machine ruined this couple's meal and put their lives in danger."

Omg 😳

Jeez did the glass rip up his pants

These youtubers just ruin restaurant dining. Sick of them. Anyone not exceptional good looking should not be intruding his/her face or mouth into other people’s screens. It’s worse than watching raccoons eating from the garbage can.

oooh so edgy

Restaurants that allow YouTubers to stream their chewing/talking are not serious dining establishments. It's an insult to the entire profession. Chefs, wine servers, even the machines that meticulously control the temperature of dinnerware all work in harmony to provide a refined dining experience.

At first, I thought the tag line referred to the little slider bump at the beginning, but then WHAM!

Bicycles can’t do this

Not with that attitude.

that would be a bad review i would guess?

The food was to die for!

That spice packs a punch

Like RIGHT after they clink, too. The timing is perfect.

Jesus!!

Wow I hope they are ok.

Glad they didn’t get really hurt, the video is hilarious. Maybe pay attention to your surroundings next time!

Are you the car?

I keep to the streets when I drive. I try to avoid creating my own drive-thru

I don’t know man

Cars are the #1 killer in the US

I'm just glad the shattered glass pieces flying around didnt injure him, hope no casualties. This insane trying to eat and relax then suddenly gets disturbed not nice at all

hope they got comp'd

Jesus christ D: I hope they weren't seriously hurt or anything

Crash diet

Jesus, hope they’re okay!!

He kept eating too

That’s what they call a real smash burger.

The ladies in the back sent me

That's a pretty extreme way to get a seat at a popular restaurant. Joking aside, glad they're okay.

Couldn’t be me. You will never catch me lacking like this. I’da been outta there several seconds prior

Modern men They'll literally push you out of your seat onto broken glass during YOUR FOODIE VIDEO Instead of just dying, like they used to all the time in their "wars", so pathetic.

Boom

📌

WTF?!

Is there already a blog documenting all the ridiculous uses of the past-exonerative tense in the English language? If not, well, we need it.

thank you I've been looking for this phrasing for it, it drives me up a wall

i hope the food was good at least

i've been in glass involved instances and neither one is bleeding? and did the car just immediately stop, not continuing? any pics of aftermath? i smell bullshit

It was literally a few seconds of footage. It will take a little longer than that to start seeing blood. Also yeah a car hitting a solid obstacle like say a building will stop the car. They are vlogger, of course there are pictures of the aftermath.

Considering how incredibly unexpected this must have been, I have to give credit to the dude for handling it so well so quickly. Got his co-worker out of the way of the immediate danger and then checked to make sure she was OK.

@down.blue

⬇️ Sure! Press here to download it!

I'm glad they weren't hurt, but otherwise 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Footage: A+ Food: “Don’t recommend. We found tiny shards of glass in our meals. D-“

Well, that framing was a choice...

“Involved in a crash” ???

About time people start doing this to "influencers"

why didn't that restaurant get outta the way? that car had places to be

Should have been wearing hi vis

Hey mate, can't park here, we're eating

Only AI would write a headline this shitty

Haha, no, American media writes about drivers smashing into people like this all the time.

That’s frightening. A friend’s sister was killed in a similar accident. She was sitting on a bench in front of her little boutique shop when an out of control car drove through her and into the shop. They’re lucky to be alive.

I'm glad they are okay.

that sounds awful ugh

It was devastating and still wrecks me when I think of the hurt it caused.

I have never been able to figure out why some motorists drive fast through centers that have street side restaurants or shops. The towns and cities need to put up speed limit signs and double fines for anyone who go 5mph over the limit.

😔

an accident is when a kid wets the bed. an out of control car that could be slowed by speed governors - but isn't - isn't an accident, it's a deliberate choice that leads to statistically predictable outcomes.

I am not against limiting the speed of cars but this crash could've just as easily occurred while traveling at legal speed

geofencing

lmfao this is the funniest response I got in this whole thread

bollards

thanks for your suggestion I'm going to implement it immediately

sweet

Lol

There seemed to have been two impacts on the building by the vehicle. Unless the vehicle was a big hauling truck (dump truck, food delivery truck, package delivery truck), a double impact says that the driver was driving too fast for safety.

If that is the case then the “legal” speed is way too high.

Car crashes are more likely to occur at higher speeds, so while it is possible that the driver wasn’t speeding, speeding would make this crash more likely.

thank you wikipedia

if you want to learn more about this than what you'll find on Wikipedia, I highly recommend There Are No Accidents by Jessie Singer.

Thank you wikipedia

Bingo!

Now they’re pretending that isn’t what they said.

It's amazing you can even read the above post when you couldn't read mine through the deep red haze 😂

That’s not how physics works tho.

F = ma Big mass of car means even 20mph -> 0 acceleration is a large force. A friend of mine once had an incident where they drove an old car into a brick wall while going less than 15mph. It still tore a hole in the wall. Store fronts are less strong than brick walls. QED.

I’m not going to argue with someone who thinks a smart car going 30 hits just as hard as an f150 going 40. Says nothing of the fact that it’s easier to stop, turn, and just spot hazards from lower speeds. I don’t know where this idea that faster is safer comes from; but it’s fucking stupid

Assuming a 1s acceleration, 1mph ≈ 1.6kph (as Newtons are metric), rounding up the weights of the latest Smart Car models to around 800kg, and the F150 to around 1900kg: 800kg * (30mph * 1.6) ≈ 38,600N 1900kg * (40mph * 1.6) ≈ 115,900N So actually the F150 here hits about 3x harder. Simple physics

This reinforces exactly what I *actually* said, if you would've read it before responding, which is that massive vehicles moving at legal road speeds still produce a lot of force on impact.

That isn’t what you said though. Maybe you think you did, but you didn’t. What you said is that lowering speeds doesn’t make a difference

I never said that anywhere. You imagined I said that because in the haze of being mad on the internet you lost your ability to read. Try looking at my posts again when they aren't shaded in all red lmfao

i too can drive into a wall while going the speed limit. i also can prevent driving into a wall by paying attention, or if I'm not at fault, the other person needs to pay attention. 99.99 percent of people go their entire lives without driving into a restaurant

cool

Ban cars

And restaurants

?

you thought you were radical but I found out who can't hang...

I’m completely serious ban cars

Your mom would benefit, that’s for sure.

That's great, now can you try reading the post this person was replying to

Why is my bed soggy?

There was not a driver in this car.

What a weird thing to say

every restaurant is a drive thru if you try hard enough. chase your dreams.

Then change the way the roadway is built. There is no excuse for this behaviour.

you can still die in a crash while wearing a seatbelt, yet we mandate seatbelts because they significantly reduce the risk of injury. your point is not relevant here.

You're not very smart

why do you say that?

the point is that the presence of a speed governor is completely irrelevant to this accident, unless you know it was cause by speeding. and most of these types of crashes are not caused by speeding, they're elderly people putting their car in drive instead of reverse and accelerating from park

Untrue, speed is the factor in every collision. You cannot plow through a wall at 5 km/hr with the same force as you can at 20 km/hr. It’s just physics.

Ignore this user @peek.bsky.social they are illiterate 💔

Maybe I was just typing too fast given that you told me speed couldn’t have been a factor.

"the point" is that it's wrong to call this an accident and even if we assume you're right about all that stuff you made up, we can just ask "why are elderly people, who are at elevated risk of crashing, being allowed to drive?"

If it wasn't intentional, and we don't know that it was, then it's an accident

all streets are designed with known design choices that literally eliminate all fatal crashes (see: vision zero). street designers choose to ignore these options in favor of letting drivers arrive at their destination faster (assuming no traffic, which the design also encourages). it's intentional.

wrong! "accident" suggests we can't do anything about it. did you know that native Americans are 3x more likely to die in a crosswalk than whites? did you know you're 2x more likely to die in a house fire in West VA than in VA? please read this book to understand why this distinction is important:

i already think that. try and keep up

lol why so glib today? just gonna make people feel sorry for you. i mean, i do. i'm not sure why you're quibbling with me about specifics instead of just agreeing that crashes like this should not happen. and speed is certainly a factor. youtu.be/Ra_0DgnJ1uQ

actually it looks like hitting the gas by mistake is a bigger cause than gear confusion but the point stands. the sources i can find from quick googling suggests that speeding accounts for only around 3-5% of vehicle crashes into buildings

Beck is not just referring to circumstances where speeding was the primary cause of the accident, but also circumstances where it was a partial cause (it’s easier to recover from a driver error or unexpected swerve if going at slower speeds)

Actually speed is as big a factor in crashes as driving drunk, so no, actually, someone going the speed limit is more likely to retain control of their car

🤯

do you realize that a lot of words in english have many polysemic meanings that we can all tell apart? nobody hears "accident" in the context of cars and thinks it literally means there were no deliberate choices involved

sorry, I don't follow. what uh polysemic meaning of "accident" are we all understanding?

nobody hears "accident" in the context of a car crash and thinks that means it's an "accident" in the general sense. we just use it as a synonym for crash.

man there's so much wrong with what you've said that i don't even know where to start. you seem to both believe that words have multiple meanings but also that they have no meaning. the "n" word may just mean "a black person," but there are huge reasons why we don't use that word anymore.

I can promise you, when Exon Valdez had the ”accident”, I didn’t think to myself “just an accident, they’re not responsible” I actually understand your point. However, you’re unwilling to get that some people know negligence requires accountability regardless of what word is used.

anyway if you want to stop being oblivious to this topic, you should read There Are No Accidents by Jessie Singer. they explain why "accident" is such a nefarious word.

words mean what people mean when they say them and what people think when they hear them. have you ever met anyone who's heard "car accident" and inferred anything from that beyond just that there was a crash? in my own head it is completely semantically distinct from the general meaning of accident

like, i get that there may be a nefarious historical reason for its use, and maybe it used to mean something else. but now it's just a synonym for car crash. it's a little silly to compare it to a slur whose meaning is basically what it's always been.

They’re saying that most people are smart enough to infer that just because the word “accident” was used, doesn’t mean that there is an absence of guilt and that the examined facts would determine that. But then … there’s maga reminding us all that odds can be defied. Release the Epstein files.

How is this an "accident"?

Technically someone could have a seizure and lose control or some other element could come into the situation that makes it an accident

this does not account for the statistical significance of the outsized number of deaths (and building crashes) in the US and Canada. these numbers are the result of systems, not individuals having health episodes.

there are many reasons why car crashes are so common and deadly here, but one of the reasons is: we don't do anything about it, because the general public has accepted these deaths as "accidents."

Crash is the proper word. I never understood why the word accident got popular.

Probably just because of what words mean in English

right, "accident" can be used to say both "I accidentally stepped on a Lego" and "BP accidentally dumped 134 million gallons of oil in the Gulf." a lot of weight that word "accident" carries!

Americans used to die by "accident" a ton in factories in the early 20th century. and the owners of the factories used that word to blame the deaths on the workers. it took a concerted effort from workers unions to show that the factories were unsafe, and significantly reduce workplace injuries.

This car wasn't even powered. If it was then these people wouldn't be walking away from this. This was someone thinking they put a car in park instead of neutral and it slowly backing into the building.

buildings getting hit by cars is very common in the US. you're saying it's always the result of someone leaving the car in neutral? does that account for why it rarely happens in other countries like NL? their cars can't go in neutral?

What are you talking about? I described what happened in the video. It's in the news. Someone left their car in neutral and it drifted into the building.

leaving aside that I was replying to someone describing a friend who died in a similar crash, what is the point of bringing that up? I'm talking about factors that cause this sort of thing to happen more frequently than it should. describing these crashes as "accidents" is one such factor.

so please tell me why you think it's necessary to respond to my point with a statement that, in this one specific case, it was not the result of a speeding driver? I'm not the police. I wasn't there. so what the fuck does it matter to me exactly how this one crash happened? I'm talking statistics.

Sometimes the regionality of vocab really helps out. I remember seeing cars at a stop in an intersection before I realized there had been an accident, when my friend's Texan mother, said, "oh, it's a wreck." And I thought, "that is exactly what it is."

What happens when a kid, in the process of wetting his/her/their bed, gets hit by an out of control car?.

I’ll do you one better. It’s a fuck up. They didn’t “accidentally“ drive through the front of the building. They FUCKED UP. Almost all automobile “accidents “ are preventable mistakes. People can’t drive for shit anymore and they are killing others, and far too seldom, themselves.

I completely agree. Unless something horrible like a malfunction happens, it’s nearly always recklessness. I once had brakeline fail in a 1 ton van coming off hghwy 60mph on a downhill ramp. I maneuvered around cars at bottom, ran light, got through another intersection, then rode the curb to stop.😰

Or we have a word for unintentional misfortune already and no amount of proscriptive Newspeak is going to make anyone any safer

it is worth looking at the drivers, but it is a mistake to put all the blame on them. we know that humans fuck up. that isn't unexpected. if there's a popular photo op on a bridge, and kids keep falling off and dying - you could say "well they should have known better" or you could put up a railing

is there more information about what actually happened? Because you can be involved in a crash like this and it could truly be an accident, i.e. a medical emergency renders the drive unconscious or something. I have no idea what the circumstances are, which is why I'm asking.

it doesn't matter what the specifics of this crash are, at least not regarding what i'm talking about. what matters is it's surprisingly common in the US, and there are steps to reduce this kind of thing that are not being taken. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra_0...

...all I did was ask for more information, jfc calm down.

?? all i did was answer your question.

You really didn't

I've been trying to learn how to not respond in anger, so it took a lot to not reply back to them at the time, so I'm glad at least one person saw it my way. Sadly, I did respond in anger but luckily I caught myself and deleted it. I should really just delete my account, social media sucks.

no, you didn't.

I hope everyone is ok!

What do you mean "were involved in a crash?" They were sitting in a restaurant.

Whoa! Hope they're ok!!

Besides the obvious need for a stiff drink...

Some of the replies to this story sums up the negativeness of social media. Until half way down people were debating the meaning of being involved. Eventually, someone remembered that there was an incident and they had the decency to report on the outcome. Some things on social are real.

"... involved in a crash ..." Dude, you could write headlines for the NYT. And I mean that in a bad way. They were almost run over. While sitting indoors. That's the headline.

for real

Please die and subscribe

Holy shit! 😳

"This restaurant receives a downgrade for broken glass in my meal and the chance of accidental death!"

Seems sus... where was the camera? Why does it zoom out a bit after impact and pan towards the talent moving out of the booth?

bros never seen autofocus work b4 😭

I'm an Emmy award winning videographer. Nice try.

then why are you asking the obvious lmao

Then tell me where the camera was positioned for this shot?

And... Crickets.

Attached to a chair opposite them?

Lmao!

I have the hat badge -

Dude has no idea how close he came to being a eunuch!

Working in Automotive Parts can have its hits as well. I've been fortunate enough to not be involved, but I've heard it happen live over phone meetings early in the mornings in other stores! What a way to pep up a sales meeting. Folks just can't wait until we open the doors sometimes.

lol

Was the dudes jeans ripped at knees like that before or after crash? Such was the style at the time.

Woah!!!

I hope they are ok. What a horrific thing!

i hope they are ok

Crazy.

@pop I take it that restaurant is so slammin’ that customers have made a submission for DriveThru!?

Just me or does it look like he’s almost immediately checking to see if she’s OK? Get you one like him.

It was fake

how do you figure it was fake? "they weren't cut" oh did you get high res still photos from the hospital?

Wow Amy! I’m just saying I read that it was staged. Your reaction makes me wonder if YOU got cut. Geez!

i'm asking how you figured and came to this conclusion show your evidence, if you've got it

I’ve been trying to find the post that said it was staged. Been looking. Sorry to have triggered you so badly!

you're the one acting like an angry baby bc somebody questioned your claim dude

It’s the way you questioned it. You’re not the only one that questioned it. Just the only one to react as you did. I just said it was fake.

All that flying glass & not a scratch. Totally fake.

I’m not so sure. I had the same thought, but a couple of things: • The flinches for everyone seemed totally legit. No one reacted too soon. • The scratches would not be readily apparent immediately. You’re only seeing a second to a second-and-a-half. Glass cuts would bleed a little later.

You can see the cut on the guy's face in the slomo, it matches what's on his face in the photos from the hospital It is kinda weird the police haven't released anything per TMZ but also it doesn't seem fake

Okay it's obvious you posted a screenshot instead of linking to that guy's thread because the truth is he says he doesn't have any evidence whatsoever that it's faked, and he also speculates that they paid big money to a large SFX studio to produce a convincing video, which is ridiculous

I read that it was fake a few post later. I would have expected some cuts from the glass.

Some of those pieces were large too. Would have been badly cut. It’s like something you’d expect from a Hollywood movie.

“This one has a bit of KICK to it!”

Terrifying, but those still look so good…

The way that's written, I'm assuming this was a police squad car?

“Involved” lol They were victims of a negligent driver.

Being a victim means they were involved.

No it doesn't. They had no necessary part in causing this accident. They weren't involved in an accident, they were victims of Vehicular Assault, due to a reckless driver. This distinction is not only important legally, but also journalistically, as it takes blame away from the people responsible.

lets say i punched you. Even if i agreed with your pedantic point that this is a 'technically correct' use of the term 'involved'. Would it be a remotely accurate to say "Your face became involved with a fist" im pretty sure the person at the other end of the arm is the more relevant actor.

One definition of “involved” is “actively participating in something,” and when the context is a car crash, that’s probably the meaning most people would assume is at play. Thus the word choice is indeed poor and misleading given that they were not “actively participating” in what occurred.

Lmfao nice try

Never the window seat... (hope they are ok)

Oh my god! The vehicle coming through the wall is obviously terrifying but I think the flying glass is worse. Hope they’re ok!

That restaurant was travelling way too fast. But a good reminder to always wear a seat belt when eating.

OMG just watching that triggered some major anxiety!

Rethinking window seats myself.

Drivers crashing into buildings is entirely preventable. Insurance companies should incentivize protecting people and property with bollards; it’s in their economic interest. Also, the trend of ever bigger and heavier cars needs to be stopped.

Of course some empty-headed purveyor of garbo entertainment would describe someone as being "involved in a crash," when in reality they were just minding their own business and trying to enjoy a meal *inside a fucking restaurant.* Whoever wrote this should have their license revoked, permanently.

They should also submit their resume to the New York Times...

ban cars

Hopefully he can get compensation for the horrific damage to his jeans

That guy looked like he was enjoying tf outta that food before impact

Omggggghhh

💀

oh yeah

Plot twist: this was part of a scene from the upcoming season of The Studio

kids today have no idea

"Involved in a crash." They were sitting in a restaurant eating when a driver drove through the wall and window. They had nothing to do with it.

The food was to die for

omg

Both wearing dark clothing so driver couldn't do much about that. Hope the couple have learned a valuable lesson here. Wear Hi Viz.

Very cool footage

No one listened to @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social more importantly

I love smash burgers, but ... ?

They tapped those sliders with total disregard for quantum physics! What did they think was gonna happen?

I'm flabbergasted by this video

Damn!

I'll have what they're having.

"Involved in a crash" is crazy

“anti-exonerative” implication

why didn't they get out of the way smh

Do you often expect a car crash at a restaurant window and glass to break all over you, to react that fast?

I am always expecting anything to come flying at me from anywhere, that's why I haven't been hit by anything in years.

You and Dwight.

yep

Out of the way of the…food…??

Remember to look both ways before eating.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sitting way too close to the window.

I see a car comin, I move. They saw a car comin, they stayed.

Media loves to blame everyone except the driver in every crash

The glass ripped that poor man's pants

I'm sorry, but I guffawed so loud.

ME TOO lol

looks like they're okay, glad they're okay

Omg!!! That’s insane!!

And the worst part is that they looked like that first bite was truly delicious.

Boom

I wonder if they left a tip?
