Looks like the red car didn't even sustain any damage.

The foreign cars must be made better than these tin can ones we have here.

Where do get these? You seem to have an abundant supply.

It's an ugly job but someone's gotta do it!

By the looks of that mattress/boxspring I hope they're going to the dump with those.

I once saw a guy with a load of trellis sections tied down with a single strap on top of a car. I watched as the wind took hold and folded up a couple of them as I passed by. Idiots.

OSHA approved. lol

OK I get why they are doing this, but I can't figure out how the fellow on the right is going to safely get back to the ledge. As soon as fellow on the left steps off it game over. And there is no way fellow on the right is going to pass by the first two men. Even shifting one's weight is risky.

I'm thinking it was AI because the same would be true for how they got out there in the first place. Place the ladder down then one walks one step while the others follow one step at a time then reverse it?

Even if that worked it's pretty darn risky, dumb and they have very big 's

I had the same thought, but I've seen people do some pretty stupid things with ladders and forklifts. Most ended badly.

My money is on those being a couple of frat boys borrowing mama's minivan and they're on their way back FROM the dump.

Or back to the frat house. I've seen some pretty nasty stuff in frat houses where my friends stayed back in the day.

This must be his roommate. lol

Empty fuel tanks are dangerous, esp when welding sparks are flying.

I remember as a 16 year old finding duel "Camel Back" fuelie heads for my 57 Chevy Belair Coup with my recently installed 327 V8. I was at the junk yard picking them up. They had a 55 gallon drum was gasoline filled within 6" of the top. The top was fully open and they allowed people to clean the grease off their hands after removing parts from cars in the yard.

Anyway a fellow had been cutting an exhaust up to get a section of straight pipe. After the cut the pipe was glowing red hot. HHe looked at me and another fellow, then smiled, and promptly doused the pipe in the liquid gas! It boiled but didn't blow. I thought for sure it would light up at a minimum. But it didn't. Only the vapors burn, not the liquid. We had a breeze and nothing happened.

To this day I still think it was reckless, but I learned a valuable lesson.

Empty, {even old empty) tanks are far more dangerous than full tanks.

If you going to weld near one or on one, fill it full of water.
