One of my cameras caught a guy throwing himself in front of a bus

Holy crap!!! Is the 2010 time stamp correct? Do you know if it was a suicide (or attempt) or some insurance scam?

 

[vector18]

Just noticed that? I'll look into it, cause when I played back, it gave me the correct time stamp. Maybe the camera clock is messed up?

I'm guessing, since it's a city bus, he's looking for money

Look again, it's 2014-11-10, which is correct for Monday

 

[fenderman]

Did you contact the city? You should sell them the footage...

 

[catseyenu]

Holy crap! Any idea what his condition is?

 

[vector18]

I watched the whole event and he never got up. I saw people pointing down onto the floor, so I doubt he survived. Maybe he was trying to get his family some money? I'm not sure you can sell footage to the city?? I highly doubt it. When you digitally zoom in, you can really see that he leaned into it and even tucked in his shoulder for impact.

My bad...I need to be wearing glasses...the 20 is hard to see because of the brightness behind it...

 

[fenderman]

You should at least contact the mta or the cops so that they have this so they dont get shaken down for cash..

The police dept already contacted my customer asking if he had any video footage. He is computer illiterate, so he asked me to make him a disk.

 

[fenderman]

Cool

 

[Mike]

wow that's insane!

 

[fenderman]

This should be on the local news...probably one of the best captures ive seen...

 

[fenderman]

ok, so I was wrong...I was looking through vectors videos and this has to be the best capture of all time ....did the laptop survive?

 

[vector18]

LMFAO, thanks for sharing my embarrassment fenderman! And yes, the laptop survived, it's one of those rugged case laptops.

Did you happen to watch this one? We stuck a gopro 3 to my buddies Tahoe and I downloaded the app on my iphone. I was able to see what the camera saw on my phone while I was driving next to it.

 

[fenderman]

That's cool, i didnt know the go pro had that capability..

 

[vector18]

It also can record in 4K, but it showed us that the battery would die quickly and the time length wouldn't be that great. So, we set it to 1080p and 60fps for the parkway speed. And through the iphone app, you can start recording, stop recording, power down the camera, and even power it up!

 

[fenderman]

Nice!

Had to bump this up. What's the camera in the original video?
