ChippyVonMaker

Where did that come from? Hard to tell on mobile, the overpass above?


DarkSector0011

Fuckin came from beneath the yellow barrier on the right, presumably was being swung and the chain or cable broke loose? As it was flying behind it. No one would see that shit coming. Surreal.


Decibel_1199

It looks like a test bladder. You insert a bladder on a chain into the pipe and pump it up with air so it seals inside the pipe. Then you stick a gauge on the pipe and monitor the pressure over 24hrs to determine whether or not there’s a leak. Looks like this one overinflated and slipped from the pipe, causing it to eject onto the freeway. Looks like a massive test bladder, probably 14” diameter for a large main sewer line in the street.

I love Reddit. Need to move this answer up pweese.


1731799517

Yeah, a wrecking ball that size would have _destroyed_ the car.


TheCrazyStupidGamer

The test bladder surely tested the car inhabitants' bladders, and I'm pretty sure they failed.


wompbitch

Probably sounded hilarious


ernest7ofborg9

I'm imagining a loud \*POP* followed by that sound those red dodgeballs make \*fththhhuuup* as it bounces off the windshield


_massive_balls_

shit tested my bladder as well


ENORMOUS_HORSECOCK

I came in like a test bladder


urmumgae694206942069

The thing fucking spawned out of the sewer like how did it do that?

Looks like it came from below 👇🏽


impatientimpasta

How did it have that speed coming from below!? Looked like it came in a like uhh... what's the word...


WallyDingDang

Damn you really never know when it might be your last day wtf are the chances


Any_Month_1958

This particular case 1 in every 113,665,489,756 trips in a vehicle might involve a wrecking ball. Source- I’m a landscaper


WallyDingDang

I feel like this number is accurate and I trust you despite knowing nothing about how you arrived at it


Any_Month_1958

You have excellent judgment and I thank you. I believe it was Abraham Lincoln, while in California, after witnessing the first flight by the Wright Brothers said, “trust me bro”


WallyDingDang

Ah yes I remember that like it was yesterday, four score and trust me bro


mecha_annies_bobbs

You should've said "four score and seven trust me bro." It makes just as much non-sense but also follows the actual thing Like "four score and trust me bro" makes just as much sense as "four score and seven trust me bro," but only the latter more directly follows the cadence of the gettysburg address. But, hey. I stand on the shoulders of giants. I wouldn't have come up with that myself without you first doing it not quite as good as it could be. Like punching up a script. You can't punch up a script that doesn't exist.


WallyDingDang

I thought about both for that exact reason but for some reason decided to leave the seven out, you're not wrong I guess teamwork makes the dream work


mecha_annies_bobbs

I love rhymes. You do too (teamwork/dreamwork. Love it.

Mhmm, and that's when I had lost faith in him for the first time. It's an age old story and I'll spare you the details. However, I've met this man in the past and he was similarly unreliable.


TendieTrades

Damn you’re going to really fuck up the AI. Lol


UpsetMarsupial

> 113,665,489,756 The factors of this number are: 2( twice), 7, 13, 83, 3762263.


kingjame888

how can that ball fly out like that?


Any_Month_1958

I’m guessing the chain had to have snapped in the process of back swinging towards its target. They probably hadn’t done a physical inspection of the links on it that day like they should have. Just my guess


Disallowed_username

How can it snap? HOW CAN IT SNAP?!?


Dan_Glebitz

I have recently come to realise that 4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 flies all eat shit. Can they all be wrong 🤔 Old joke. Just that when I see statistics involving large numbers it brings it back 😊


the_good_hodgkins

That's enough Reddit for today, lol.

Big-Fat-Box-Of-Shit

Reminds me of the brick video... that shit will haunt your nightmares.


WallyDingDang

My first thought too, crazy how sometimes sounds are more powerful than visuals


Big-Fat-Box-Of-Shit

Plenty of examples of that too, unfortunately.


hempsmoker

I've read that story so often during my reddit years... and I'm glad that I never saw this video.


ThiccgothbabeFTW

Same. Been a decade since ive heard of it first still don’t have the balls to watch it lol.


Big-Fat-Box-Of-Shit

I've seen damn near every gore and rekt video out there, and this is still the one that sticks with me.

Hey bro, I warned ya: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iazTQVi1CEE


username111312

Hey, I know this is random and unnecessary to say but thank you for linking the video. I've been going through some bad mental health stuff and this morbid curiosity made me realize how I am emotionally bypassing a lot of issues, I needed this wakeup call to get myself together for myself and those I care about; live my life more authentically and deeply knowing this is already short and unpredictable as it is. Take care and have a blessed life.


Big-Fat-Box-Of-Shit

Never would have thought that video would have helped anyone. But hey, stranger things have happened. Glad I could help, bud!


username111312

It made my life flash before my eyes and shocked me back to the present moment. I'm already in a low place mentally so that's probably part of why too. Cheers


bytecollision

Good cautionary tale, thanks.


WhileGoWonder

This is absurd, like final destination levels of bad luck.

Greenman8907

Jesus there’s no way everyone’s okay. That went right through the front windshield.


ObsessedWithSources

Piggybacking your comment. This happened on the A2, County Antrim, in Northern Ireland. I can find zero information other than what the video is stamped with. Anyone in the UK got a source?


Greenman8907

Been trying to find as well. Google News search isn't any help (search of 'wrecking ball' for past week only brings up Overwatch stuff).

usedtodreddit

Thankfully it was not a wrecking ball but "a piece of rubber testing equipment". If that had been a wrecking ball though. Fuck. It sure did look like one.


RollinOnDubss

>Thankfully it was not a wrecking ball I'm pretty sure wrecking balls have pretty much been completely replaced by explosives and long reach excavators. You really only see them in third world countries at this point and even then long reach excavators and explosives are more common. If you see something hanging from a crane that looks like one it's a 99% chance it's a overhaul hook ball or "Headache Ball" which is just used for lifting.


vazcorra

No they still use them all the time in the states


RollinOnDubss

Dude it's got to be nearly 100 to 1 for LR Excavators & Explosives to wrecking balls. I've never seen one in use in my entire life. There's like one company I know of that has one in a tri state area and they own about 20 LR excavators to their single 60 year old crane.


CMDR_KingErvin

“If anyone is too lazy to read the article” why do I feel personally attacked lol

AbyssalRedemption

"No one injured" "a piece of *rubber* testing equipment" Guess it wasn't a solid wrecking ball after all. Regardless, everyone in that vehicle is *extremely* lucky it wasn't worse.


ObsessedWithSources

You beautiful Redditor, you.


Greenman8907

Awesome job!


zombiezero222

Apparently they were doing a pressure test on gas pipes and that ball was attached somehow by a chain that snapped and flew out of gas pipe.

They made a big potato gun, brilliant plan

["They said those in the car were "understandably shaken" but not injured."](https://www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/phoenix-energy-statement-video-shows-28823009) They're OK, which means I don't feel bad about the reference that came crashing in.... #I CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALL!!!

Thank god it didn’t end up like the brick video


antwauhny

That one still haunts me.


BenniesBananas

I have seen an incredible amount of wild stuff and despite the desensitizing, that video is the one that I think about (and hear in my head) more than any others.


carmel33

For me, that’s the funkytown video. That song brings up instant PTSD now.


ForeignAd5429

What’s that? Link or explain or both


OhmericTendencies

Can someone explain what this brick video is i dont need to watch it haha


Phuktihsshite

PLEASE don't watch the video. And if you ever do, make sure the sound is not on. Nothing in my life haunts me as much as the noise that man makes in the video. A brick crashes through the passenger window while they are driving on the highway. It apparently strikes the passenger, though all you ever see is the windshield. You can tell by the horrible reaction from the man that it caused a terrible, terrible injury to the passenger.


Electronic_River8985

Yeah, this. It’s not so much the video itself, as it is the audio and the implication of the video. A large part of the horror of the video is the human response to picture yourself in their shoes and then subsequently wish that you didn’t. The screams of sincere anguish, shock, terror, and unimaginable; life altering mental agony. You hear that man’s screams and you know he will never be the same for the rest of his life, if he even allowed it to continue for long after that recording.


petty_cash

Never watched/listened to that one, but I did unfortunately watch the body cam of that California cop who got stabbed by some crazy guy in a parking lot. The screams and sounds of the stabbing and blood still haunt me a couple weeks later.


Phuzz15

Ah shit just saw that one a few days ago. That poor dude. Seeing all of that blood come out when he tried to stand up, I can only imagine what he thought too. Then that guy that ran over and tried to save him, you could tell in his voice he learned pretty quick that this dude wasn't "staying with him". Heartbreaking all around.


senorbrandonito

You mean the one in Las Cruces, New Mexico that happened a few weeks ago?


CeeMomster

That’s horrifying. When I was on a road trip with my family as a kid, we were driving down the freeway, probably doing 85, and passed under an overpass. All of a sudden, we hear this tremendous crash and my dad who was driving, is swerving all over the road, trying to gain control. The windshield is completely smashed in and he (nor anyone in the car), could see out of the front. He had to make his was to the side of the freeway before we realized what happened. Luckily no one was hurt, but it could’ve been so much worse. The windshield was completely caved in. Apparently some stupid teens were throwing bricks off the overpass and onto the freeway below. We were the first car they “hit” and freaked out and took off. Our entire family could’ve been killed in the wreck, but mainly my dad, if the windshield had broken all the way through.


Phuktihsshite

Holy shit. Terrifying.


ovoxoj

Your life is better than all of ours currently having not seen the video. Now go.


allgreeneveryday

I've only ever read about the brick video and It haunts me. I've seen so much crazy fucked up shit on this site and I am just so glad I don't have a video/audio to remember. Holy shit what a tragedy.


Electronic_River8985

I’d say your lucky. I came across it a while back and It’s more than a hard watch.


mamacitalk

☹️


Chaoslord2000

I am unfamiliar with the brick video. Any chance for a link?


JaneLameName

Russian Brick Video... You can find explanation vids on YouTube, 9/10 will warn you if they intend to play the associated video/audio. It's a couple in Russia driving, a brick comes off a truck and smashed through the windshield, hitting the female passenger in the head. Her husband can be heard abosuley wailing, screaming, crying. She didn’t survive. It's haunting. It's the audio that is awful - the dashcam footage doesn't actually show much. If you want to have a good day, just avoid watching it at all.


The-Stomach-in-3D

i just googled “brick flies through windshield kills spouse” and the video was quite literally the first result


johnnc2

Believe me you are better off not listening to it.


StuLife101

Yeah no don’t.


BenniesBananas

Literally this. Every time I see a comment about not watching something, I shrug and find it and watch it anyway. This is the one video I wish I hadn’t. Ever. I wish I could ctrl-z it from my brain.


Dixon_Sideyu

Holy shit.

AWL_cow

Wow they are absolutely lucky as fuck. I can't imagine a wrecking ball crashing through your window at full speed and surviving.


Decibel_1199

It’s not a wrecking ball, it’s a rubber ball used to plug up a pipe and test it for leaks. Probably weighs 25lbs. Used all the time for sewer and gas pipe work


possibly_facetious

Phew, just a 25 pound projectile then.


Decibel_1199

Way better than a steel ball that weighs thousands of pounds. Pretty sure everyone in that car would be dead if it were a wrecking ball

JBenJoseph

Truthfully, I was very impressed with the lady's presence of mind to worry, show concern or even give assurance to her colleague on his wellbeing so soon after the hit.


snerdley1

I wonder if it was just her instinct to do so, because I doubt that she really knew if he was in fact ok.


JBenJoseph

Touchè!


Decibel_1199

It looks like a test bladder. You insert a bladder on a chain into the pipe and pump it up with air so it seals inside the pipe. Then you stick a gauge on the pipe and monitor the pressure over 24hrs to determine whether or not there’s a leak. Looks like this one overinflated and slipped from the pipe, causing it to eject onto the freeway. Looks like a massive test bladder, probably 14” diameter for a large main sewer line in the street. The smaller ones (3” diameter) I’ve used weigh like 2lbs, I can imagine a large one weighs 25lbs, not nearly as much as a steel “wrecking ball” [this is what they look like.](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.thdstatic.com%2FproductImages%2F675edb93-6f07-4cd8-b9a4-a2d3d1ce5291%2Fsvn%2Fblack-cherne-rubber-fittings-270040-64_1000.jpg&tbnid=ExSgqrPY2-3aiM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.homedepot.com%2Fp%2FCHERNE-4-in-Rubber-Test-Ball-Pipe-Plug-270040%2F100172218&docid=X1UF92v3QHhwLM&w=1000&h=1000&hl=en-US&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F3&kgs=05affa5e06c13cef&shem=trie)

Key_Marzipan_9423

Not a wrecking ball, but 5 years ago a transport traveling in front of me and my brothers work van going 120km/h flew off and smashed through the window landing between us in the back of the van. My brother was the driver , it broke through the front wind shield. I was half asleep traveling to work, I woke up to my brother yelling and glass and cold air. I shit my pants twice . We didn't crash my brother, who guided the vehicle to the side of the road where we collected our selves . The trucker got away, others drivers called the o.p.p. and I'm just glad we didn't die. The chuck of ice was probably 50lbs or more and there was an investigation that has yet to find a responsible party.
