I've personally never heard of a live, televised car chase anywhere outside of the US. You guys seem to be big on those.

In Germany, something like that would just not be broadcast on a live feed. It's understood to be a very American thing here.

I got to admit, it's kinda interesting, though

Fascinating. Yeah sometimes you forget how nuts America can be if you've never lived anywhere else

 

[perfectchaos007]

I'm in! Sup chase GAF?

 

[SpecX]

Is he going west or east.

East

 

[FStop7]

Possibly a terrorist planning to use the truck as a weapon?

It's not even all of the US, it's mostly just Southern California.

Big dinosaurs? Is this Fallout New Vegas?

 

[ReAxion]

wave to the dinosaurs! (the dinosaurs are a creationist museum now)

 

[adj_noun]

If this was a movie there would have been a semi fight.

 

[Media]

I saw placards on the side of the trailer. They are the line of little boxes.

 

[Mahonay]

I've seen a documentary on this before. I'm pretty sure that truck is possessed.

 

[Zeke]

Surprised no one has posted pics from big trouble in little China

 

[Mr Clutch]

Is he going west or east.

He is going Southeast/East. He is on the 10 Freeway now which leads to the desert Indio, Joshua Tree, etc. He could turn onto the 86 and head South to Mexicali though...

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

First time catching one of these live on GAF.

Driving in the desert area of Cali is very apocalyptic.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

"He could have enough gas to give us another 12-14 hours of live footage!"

 

[Smokey_Run]

I hope it goes 12 hours. I wanna see what these channels would do.

 

[perfectchaos007]

If he does make it all the way to El Paso, it will be the longest distance in a police chase ever.

 

[SpecX]

Shit, he could reach Texas on a full tank if they can't stop him.

 

[gutshot]

Did this guy just say he can make it to Texas in 12 hours? lol

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

They can stop with the smarmy "actually think they can get away with it" bit. I'm fairly certain he knows he can't.

 

[StarCreator]

It's great when the ABC7 feed cuts to studio. I don't have sound here so I can only guess what they're reacting to:

 

[StopMakingSense]

Big dinosaurs? Is this Fallout New Vegas?

Sad fact, those dinosaurs now house a creationist museum.

Also, EAT.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Just give him John Conner and we can end this now.

 

[Zeke]

What happens if he makes it to the AZ border?

 

[ReAxion]

[Mr Clutch]

What happens if he makes it to the AZ border?

He will be shot...

 

[jstripes]

He's outside of their chopper range now I guess? :/

 

[Rest]

Yea I mentioned the placards earlier, its driving me nuts that they don't just zoom in and see what they say. There seems to be a couple but I can't make them out and I wouldn't know them by color/design alone.

I see a couple that are white and just have a word with no image, those usually aren't anything dangerous, just something like gas under pressure. The chance that he's got something poisonous, flammable, or otherwise destructive is just asinine.

Also, the idea that city, county or state officials have anything to do with hazmat is funny. Feds cover hazmat, anybody local is just support or extra manpower.

It's a great shot of Long Beach.

 

[ColdPizza]

This guy from FOX10 sounds stoned...lol

 

[Smokey_Run]

Did this guy just say he can make it to Texas in 12 hours? lol

Well, Riverside to El Paso is 10h 53m on I-10E.

 

[JoeyJungle]

I cannot believe none of these 18 wheelers are willing to race

 

[SpecX]

Did this guy just say he can make it to Texas in 12 hours? lol

Cabazon to El Paso is only 10 hours driving. If he's fueled up, it is possible.

 

[thezerofire]

Big dinosaurs? Is this Fallout New Vegas?

those are real actually

 

[jaypah]

Florida? There's no fucking way this dude would make it to Florida.

 

[TheOMan]

The one on the left kinda looks like Molly Shannon.

 

[Lonestar]

Like, do news channels in the next few days get excited at ratings/traffic increase, by being involved in a Southern Cal Car chase as it continues east?

 

[ReAxion]

i wonder what the CB chatter is like

 

[LucidMomentum]

It's a great shot of Long Beach.

There's a beach in that photo?*

Forgive me padre, for I have sinned.

 

[Sub_Level]

"hope that he realizes the futality of this pursuit"

 

[Kalor]

Hopefully this all ends safely.

 

[Effect]

Can you detach the trailer remotely?

 

[Smokey_Run]

lol ABC7 with the reporter rotation.

 

[gutshot]

Well, Riverside to El Paso is 10h 53m on I-10E.

Cabazon to El Paso is only 10 hours driving. If he's fueled up, it is possible.

Yeah, I didn't realize El Paso was quite that close. Still he's already been going for 2 hours and with traffic and everything, seems unlikely he could make it that far.

For your background music pleasure.

The most correct post of the thread. Or in the history of NeoGAF.

 

[mcz117chief]

I need an explanation. Why aren't they trying to stop him? Is it because they are afraid of the cargo? Can't they use road spikes or road block? Are they waiting for him to run out of gas? I really have no idea what is going on.
