This is literally the most entertaining chase I've ever seen most because no innocent people were killed. That guy really dumped his entire skill tree on driving 💀
I love the end where the guy commentating apologizes to the audience because it’s over, but then snaps out of it realizing it is and actual police chase with real danger and not some game that he is commentating over. He snapped out of it and that is hilarious.
Naaah, I've seen multiple chases from the news station, and this guy's ALWAYS the reporter, that's his only job. And he's always had this energy and voice. Literally the only times from this video I saw uncharacteristic from the reporter was his weird gulp thing and the "...I hate to tell you, UH, I MEAN, I'm happy it's over..."
As a Californian, I am very surprised with how attentive the rest of the drivers were. Also surprised no civilians with road rage followed him with a bat in the trunk or worse
now I'm not saying anybody should ever do this but holy shit the adrenaline rush from a 1 and a half hour police chase must be an adrenaline junkie's wet dream
I live in the area and thought it would be nice to mention that the neighborhood pulled together and raised money to replace the work truck. The family who’s truck was stolen saved for almost 3 years to purchase a truck to run their own business. This incident occurred 2 weeks after the truck was purchased. It was a sad story with a happy ending all thanks to locals ❤️
The real question is why was the idiot woman holding her man back from stopping his truck being stolen??? The why she grabbed her mans shirt is exactly how I would expect the woman to behave is she was on the crooks side. She did it to her own man
@@ThaTurminator You don't know the age of the woman, could've been her son or a nephew etc. Also do you not know human's fight or flight response? We do it without thinking. She wanted to flee back inside where she knew they'd be safe and drag him with her.
this feels like when you play a video game and you are supposed to be stealthy, but you fuck it up, but instead of restarting you start to go on a full rampage for literal hours, knowing full well you will have to restart again
@@dauphongii That's $5.90 per gallon, if you measure in liter in your country you have to convert. In my country we pay around $2 per liter, which is around $7.60 per gallon.

not exactly the same scenario, but one time (in a neighboring city to where this took place) a car crashed into the second story of a building. My mom texted me the news article when i was on the train... later on the subsequint busride I looked up and saw the exact building where the car crashed. A hole in the second story. It was wild.

"last chase, which was an away chase in san antonio, he picked up 4 crashes early, and last year he averaged 3.4 clippings a chase, tied for 4th all time"
honestly we should let this guy go and give him a four hour head start to see how much his police chase skills have improved after he's had time to rest and meditate on what he's learned from this one, he might just be able to beat his personal best here we have organized crime, now we need competitive crime
Imagine going through an almost hour long car chase, stealing two cars, breaking and entering, causing thousands of dollars in damage, and ultimately ending by being cornered at a gas station. You get shot and your like “well shit this is the end of the line.” Then they pull you out and you look over and see a random dude who’s not related in any way to the chase getting roughed up and arrested. I’d be flabbergasted at that point.
Imagine the giga brain you'd think he has if getting that innocent driver arrested was his actual master plan all along, and it went all according to plan.
They can only do spike strips once they've isolated him on an area with no civilians like a highway. This guy was genius cos he kept avoiding areas without people and kept driving around so they couldn't predict his next steps.
I love how he's disappointed but immediately noticed it. I wonder if he watches car chase videos and commentates over them at his house or something, lol. Just really likes his job.
The thrill of this isn't even just the impressive but crazy driving - it's how everybody came together to make this a full production. The zoom in on the weed wacker was incredible.
Charlie can play any horror game there is, watch any horror movie there is, go through any haunted house at a theme park, actually get jumped by a deer, and not even blinking during any of the jumpscares, but a news commentator following the scene of a police chase makes him jump. True king right there
Someone get that commentator a medal, his rapid-fire pace and ability to keep up with the action while still speaking very clearly during an absolutely insane situation was amazing, and it was even funnier how much he was obviously loving the whole thing.
you think if they didnt stop him when he was in the van and doing nothing but shooting millions of sparks on the street, they wouldve at least stopped him sooner when its literally next to a pump of highly flammable liquid
@@TheGrizzlo503 but you're acting like you've never seen gasoline on the floor next to a gas station when pumping gas. It was still definitely a possibility
I watched this in real time. It’s definitely one of the craziest chases I’ve ever seen. The unlucky van owner is a florist and he uses it for deliveries. The truck owners are landscapers. They both had gofundme’s and the van owner got a new used van and the landscapers got a new used truck. They are both small business owners.
as a proud landscaper myself, I 100% feel for those truck owners. having something like this happen would be devastating to anyone, and knowing that the truck was probably highly important for their work must have been terrifying. Innocent businesses just trying to make a living and lend a hand to people in need getting screwed over by this guy's joyride
This was the craziest chase I ever saw Kudos to the cameraman and the announcer for keeping everyone up to speed and being consistent. They both deserve a raise I died laughing when the announcer let it slip that he was disappointed that the chase came to an end 🤣✋ what a wild ride !!
Tbf in my neck of the woods he would've been shot if he didn't give it up at that second car. Don't know why they didn't. He was a clear threat already.
Well you have to remember that 1: truck tires for the most part are meant for heavy duty punches and 2: tire brands make a huge difference in the strength and durability if a tire
I saw this chase first hand on a TV at a little Mexican restaurant and I was losing my crap. Me and my dad saw it and began audibly yelling at certain points out of pure excitement and intrigue. We finished our food around 20 minutes in, but stayed for the extra hour just to finish off the chase and make sure we didn't miss out on anything. We thought we were some of the only people to witness the chase, but now seeing Charlie react to it is absolutely insane. I'm glad he's enjoying it as much as I was when I was watching the chase live.
i know what you mean! i was in LA at the time, and i saw this entire thing while at a Resturaunt, and i was legit going "holy shit!" and "jesus dude!" audibly so EVERYONE heard me haha!
Man as crazy and stupid these pursuits are, when they're "a good driver" it's all the more entertaining when no one gets hurt, other than some damage claims. This guy really lived his final moments of freedom.
To be honest, the broadcast was missing a color commentator who provided backstory and statistics of the player on screen. I don't have the time to catch up to all the matches of the season, I didn't know this guy.
@@BlackWhiteCloud "Last season he managed to steal one truck and a bicycle, but now aims to break the record for the most stolen vehicles during one police chase. Leagues records breakdown after the intermission."
If it were, this driver would be defending world champion, I'd imagine. Either that or he had divine protection/plot armour, there were countless times he could have been stopped or even gotten himself killed during this chase.
One of the things I noticed is that the news helicopter camera had some kind of sensor in it that could tell exactly what road it was pointed at in real time.. pretty cool
On the plus side, the owner started a gofund me so he can recoup the cost of his materials and car and got over $120,000. LAPD told him he can't get his car and tools back since it's evidence.
I kept thinking the same thing. Worried about that poor guy losing his work truck and his tools. Not to mention having his house invaded by a crazy man!
When I was a mechanic I had to fix some wiring on a mid 2000s chevy truck (same as the chevy van he stole) and I was shocked how easy it would be to basically hotwire it. Its not like the movies where you touch 2 wires together and run but it was fairly simple if you know what you're doing
@@SilverTheFlame I mean, hotwiring that van behind a cop car, with a heli watching over him. That was straight up some gta shit. Jumping a car obviously isn't the most impressive thing, but doing it in such an intense chase with a cop car behind you and a heli watching over u must be insane lol. I do agree with u that he did appear to have no sense of where he was going, still those driving skills were impecable.
Cops aren’t trained to handle crazy. They train on people who fear some sort of authority, so when you meet an actual crazy person they can get away with killing like 15 people or breaking 100s of laws.
Man is actually a protagonist, wtf. Literally no clipping. Obviously a lot of this was thanks to the insane dodging skills of the other drivers. If this went down in here in Florida, he'd have crashed in literally 5 seconds 😭
Love how the guy in the helicopter was like "i think this is where it ends, i hate to say it" but corrects himself, like NAH you know you were having fun
the person who was narrating this or like announcing or whatever sounds like they were having a good time watching it go down with popcorn and everything 😂
That commentator genuinely has a talent for casting. It'd be kinda funny if his career blows up after this. Honestly added so much value to an already nuts chase
i remember i was at a sports bar with my parents and my brother during this chase, they played it on the jumbo screen and the whole place tuned in it was crazy to watch live
@@l3ftie578 I wouldn't use the term scary for loud and sudden. More like surprised or shocked. That's why most people consider games that rely on jumpscares only as not very scary.
@@l3ftie578 seriously I bet you could make a “scary” game with the most boring setting of a character working in an office, as long as you put in a bunch of loud sudden sounds
@@noposguau447 still can hear him talking. not really much difference. and the video keeps getting paused. this cant be solved by lowering the volume if someone keeps pausing so....
Knowing the chase is an hour and forty minutes long, I just kept wondering “how does he get out of this one?” and he escaped so many times, to the point where I thought he would even get out of that last situation.
I ran from the police after a misunderstanding, and they deployed multiple cars to search for me. I literally crawled through hedges to avoid detection until they found me and the air was cleared 😂
I feel sorry for the man who worked his butt off for it, he was so close to stopping that asshole, if it weren't for his wife grabbing him by his shirt collar and pulling him like he was a dog. Glad they got another truck, but I can tell you that man probably won't feel the same about it.
@@Initial_Gopnik Don’t get mad at the wife that guy was crazy driving around almost killing people. She probably was pulling him back because she didn’t want him to get hurt you don’t know what that other guy was capable of
I doubt the man would've been hurt too bad when he had the upper hand, if that nutjob had a gun or was seriously capable of hurting them (which he wasn't, he was unarmed), don't you think he would've pulled whatever he had on them? So that they wouldn't even try to stop him? There was obviously a bit of a struggle in the house as well, before they came out to the driveway. I get the legal aspect, it is California, they would've found a way to make the victim a criminal.
I'm positive you guys have no clue that police are deciding to back off and not pursue dangerous evasion techniques. Police training is incredibly lack-luster, but vehicle training is a different story. Most departments train in their lots doing maneuvers every month and make it mandatory for every officer to attend and pass tests. Too many people have died due to incompetent driving from police in the past, so it's one of the few things most US police are very well trained in. They absolutely knew his obvious moves, and did the right thing to not push the pursuit to be more dangerous. Just as a source, I did ECU tuning for my city's LEO high-pursuit vehicles for a few years, I got to attend their training seminars on numerous occasions and even got to participate. You'd be surprised that most of the techniques used were avoidance and de-escalation. The PIT-maneuver (TVI) is a last-resort technique for an era before learning that de-escalation works 99% of the time. BSR Inc. that came up with the technique have been sued numerous times over the unsafe used of TVI. Even they have denounced the use of it in the last few years.
3:23 - I never tried hot wiring. But the way I assume it works is. With the key, its basically a switch between turning the engine on and keeping it on. On older cars, most likely these are just three wires connected to the lock cylinder. One supplying power and the key will switch that power to the other two wires. With this in mind, all you have to do is connect the wire with power to one of the other two wires. Modern cars or at least with my car, my key has a chip in it. It'll try to verify the chip before allowing you to turn on the car. I'm assuming, there are a ton of wires that are used to communicate with that chip. It will be nearly impossible to guess which wire to connect at what time.
28:01 was listening to this in the background while doing a game, and Charlie said "catastrophe" right as the word "CATASTROPHE" came on-screen in the game idk i just thought that was kinda cool
Yeah that bit in the deadend in the suburb was so weird, do they not have tire spikes they just drop out their door? Because that would have been it if they did Also why tf did they ram him into a civilian car at the end after he had been imobilised, and why tf did they then start shooting, his car was stuck and he had nowhere to run
@@Cheesepuff8 I feel like at that point they realized that he was willing to do anything to get out of that situation, and if he was able to escape with the car *again* he could kill someone on the road. Also, they’re American cops so they’re a little loosey goosey with discharging their guns.
I don't understand why they didn't shoot out the tires of the van they surrounded... They literally let him go where he could possibly kill a family on the road when they had him. What kind of police are these? Stupid af
I remember watching this and yelling out loud at my television “go dude go!!” i was legit rooting for this dude 😂 like i sent this video to multiple people and sent “i hope this dude got out of jail and immediately burned this video to a dvd for longevity. It’s basically a movie about him”
@Dirty Monkey again though. What can you do without breaking protocol. Besides the good size amount of fuck ups from the cops, they can't exactly gta him
So many (young and jobless) people are laughing at this chase while many responsible car owners got fcked especially the truck owner. "dOnT wOrRy, iNsUrAnCe wILL cOv-" STFU. First of all, the pathetic loser of a criminal won't be held liable due to most likely not having insurance and the lax Cali laws. Second, insurance companies are shady af and some may raise monthly premiums just because a subspecies of a human decided to fck up everyone's day.
Feel bad for the bystander that got arrested. Similar thing happened to me in Seal beach, didn't get arrested but the police forcefully took my totaled car in for investigation. It was also a chase that ended in a head onto me, shots were fired. I was sent a collection notice for $2000 for storage of that car, another $1000 for towing (to a lot 3 miles away from the crash), then a bit more just to tow it home so they stop charging more for storage. The police told me they cannot do anything about it. Hope this guy will recover quickly.
Damn, that sucks. It's just not fair sometimes, huh? How are you doing now, did insurance pay for the car or did you perhaps get back on your feet with no help from them?
@@netts2315 Doing great, thanks for asking. A month before the crash, I downgraded my insurance to 1-way since i was young, broke, and thinking nothing bad ever happened for all the years I've been driving. Of course the other dude had no insurance, no job either. He was drunk and had 2 kids inside. Figured I didn't want to waste my time going to court because I just started my career. The only thing I'm pissed at now is how the police handled things, especially the one that opened fire into the car from the rear passenger side, he was lucky that he missed both of the kids by mere inches.
How is nobody else mentioning how the commentator and Charlie are LITERALLY riffing off of each other as if they were in a phone call together during this entire chase. Watch how Charlie will say something and then the reporter will be like yeah I know right? Or when they both were mentioning a head on collision would have not been ideal at the same exact moment. It’s uncanny
That guy wouldn’t have been held back when the perpetrator showed up to steal his car. Would’ve been dealt with then and there. Bless our stand your ground laws lol
I’m from SoCal and this stuff happens all the time. Looks like he’s making his way to LA. I think he had a destination in mind. This happens so often that’s why the news is so on top of the editing haha

Lame ass comment!!
I genuinely lost my mind when he said that like couldn’t stop laughing
If they wouldve pinned the van in tight before he started moving it up and back he wouldnt have been able to move it outta the spot to begin with.

The announcers mom was telling him to pause the game 💀
i will always enjoy how happy the commentator is, like he was having a field day with this one
REAL! Like his enthusiasm is genuinely contagious.
The sheer amount of times this guy managed to squeeze himself out of getting caught is insane.
Charlie : "I don't like he is destroying people property"
Also Charlie: "more!"
Tbf in my neck of the woods he would've been shot if he didn't give it up at that second car. Don't know why they didn't. He was a clear threat already.

Well you have to remember that 1: truck tires for the most part are meant for heavy duty punches and 2: tire brands make a huge difference in the strength and durability if a tire
That’s why you don’t want those fancy low-profile rims that dealers push nowadays. Way easier to wreck

I feel bad for the owner of that van cause they are in fact solid work vehicles, and they're becoming harder and harder to find these days
I saw this chase first hand on a TV at a little Mexican restaurant and I was losing my crap. Me and my dad saw it and began audibly yelling at certain points out of pure excitement and intrigue. We finished our food around 20 minutes in, but stayed for the extra hour just to finish off the chase and make sure we didn't miss out on anything. We thought we were some of the only people to witness the chase, but now seeing Charlie react to it is absolutely insane. I'm glad he's enjoying it as much as I was when I was watching the chase live.
i know what you mean! i was in LA at the time, and i saw this entire thing while at a Resturaunt, and i was legit going "holy shit!" and "jesus dude!" audibly so EVERYONE heard me haha!
It made it to the top of Reddit so plenty have seen it now
Man as crazy and stupid these pursuits are, when they're "a good driver" it's all the more entertaining when no one gets hurt, other than some damage claims. This guy really lived his final moments of freedom.
Same! I was watching it in my living room, GREAT chase.
@@powlow3676 something tells me he is gonna be out in less than 5 years tho. US Legal System is complete ass.
I like that Charlie calls him the “the announcer” the whole time like it’s a pro sport
It *is* a pro sport
To be honest, the broadcast was missing a color commentator who provided backstory and statistics of the player on screen. I don't have the time to catch up to all the matches of the season, I didn't know this guy.
@@BlackWhiteCloud "Last season he managed to steal one truck and a bicycle, but now aims to break the record for the most stolen vehicles during one police chase. Leagues records breakdown after the intermission."
If it were, this driver would be defending world champion, I'd imagine. Either that or he had divine protection/plot armour, there were countless times he could have been stopped or even gotten himself killed during this chase.
Charlie is a legend bro.
One of the things I noticed is that the news helicopter camera had some kind of sensor in it that could tell exactly what road it was pointed at in real time.. pretty cool
The truck's hitbox malfunctioned
I feel so bad for the dude who got his work truck stolen & who knows how many tools fell out the back.
On the plus side, the owner started a gofund me so he can recoup the cost of his materials and car and got over $120,000. LAPD told him he can't get his car and tools back since it's evidence.
@@margaesperanza That is horseshit, dude really did get fucked over by bad fate.
I kept thinking the same thing. Worried about that poor guy losing his work truck and his tools. Not to mention having his house invaded by a crazy man!
All I wanna know is if that dog under the truck was okay
@@NicFleury it looks like its been under there a time or two. It prob knows to leave when it roars. Woulda been bigger news too

It definitely started sounding like commentators during a boxing match
sorry for all the bots on your comment man they're truly a plague
Stu Mundel is a legend he has narrated so many of the best ones. I used to binge his chases while working.
@Patrick39 No, this is Patrick!
When I was a mechanic I had to fix some wiring on a mid 2000s chevy truck (same as the chevy van he stole) and I was shocked how easy it would be to basically hotwire it. Its not like the movies where you touch 2 wires together and run but it was fairly simple if you know what you're doing
13:06 when you only have 5 minutes left in your shift
it is so random, yet still it seems like the guy has prepared for this chase his entire life, incredible
it’s amazing that we got to see this on camera imagine all the crazy stuff like this happening everyday that doesn’t get recorded
@@SilverTheFlame I mean, hotwiring that van behind a cop car, with a heli watching over him. That was straight up some gta shit. Jumping a car obviously isn't the most impressive thing, but doing it in such an intense chase with a cop car behind you and a heli watching over u must be insane lol. I do agree with u that he did appear to have no sense of where he was going, still those driving skills were impecable.
Cops aren’t trained to handle crazy.
They train on people who fear some sort of authority, so when you meet an actual crazy person they can get away with killing like 15 people or breaking 100s of laws.
Man is actually a protagonist, wtf.
Literally no clipping. Obviously a lot of this was thanks to the insane dodging skills of the other drivers. If this went down in here in Florida, he'd have crashed in literally 5 seconds 😭
Dude's probably a hero in jail.
Love how the guy in the helicopter was like "i think this is where it ends, i hate to say it" but corrects himself, like NAH you know you were having fun

You expect it horror games. Most horror movies abuse them.
just goes to show loud + sudden = scary

I wouldn't use the term scary for loud and sudden. More like surprised or shocked. That's why most people consider games that rely on jumpscares only as not very scary.

Man I feel so sorry for the family losing their truck. It looks like they took good care of it too, thing looked shinny as hell
according to another commenter, the community raised enough money to help them get a new truck
I feel sorry for the man who worked his butt off for it, he was so close to stopping that asshole, if it weren't for his wife grabbing him by his shirt collar and pulling him like he was a dog. Glad they got another truck, but I can tell you that man probably won't feel the same about it.
@@Initial_Gopnik Don’t get mad at the wife that guy was crazy driving around almost killing people. She probably was pulling him back because she didn’t want him to get hurt you don’t know what that other guy was capable of
@@Initial_Gopnik 🤦🏻♀️she doesn't want him to get killed or arrested for murder over a truck
I doubt the man would've been hurt too bad when he had the upper hand, if that nutjob had a gun or was seriously capable of hurting them (which he wasn't, he was unarmed), don't you think he would've pulled whatever he had on them? So that they wouldn't even try to stop him? There was obviously a bit of a struggle in the house as well, before they came out to the driveway. I get the legal aspect, it is California, they would've found a way to make the victim a criminal.
This dude really took “never let them know your next move” to heart

@@joshc5613 exactly
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
I'm positive you guys have no clue that police are deciding to back off and not pursue dangerous evasion techniques. Police training is incredibly lack-luster, but vehicle training is a different story. Most departments train in their lots doing maneuvers every month and make it mandatory for every officer to attend and pass tests. Too many people have died due to incompetent driving from police in the past, so it's one of the few things most US police are very well trained in.
They absolutely knew his obvious moves, and did the right thing to not push the pursuit to be more dangerous.
Just as a source, I did ECU tuning for my city's LEO high-pursuit vehicles for a few years, I got to attend their training seminars on numerous occasions and even got to participate. You'd be surprised that most of the techniques used were avoidance and de-escalation. The PIT-maneuver (TVI) is a last-resort technique for an era before learning that de-escalation works 99% of the time. BSR Inc. that came up with the technique have been sued numerous times over the unsafe used of TVI. Even they have denounced the use of it in the last few years.
@@joshc5613 Absolutely not. This is what de-escalation looks like. Close pursuit is how you get people killed.
3:23 - I never tried hot wiring. But the way I assume it works is. With the key, its basically a switch between turning the engine on and keeping it on. On older cars, most likely these are just three wires connected to the lock cylinder. One supplying power and the key will switch that power to the other two wires. With this in mind, all you have to do is connect the wire with power to one of the other two wires.
Modern cars or at least with my car, my key has a chip in it. It'll try to verify the chip before allowing you to turn on the car. I'm assuming, there are a ton of wires that are used to communicate with that chip. It will be nearly impossible to guess which wire to connect at what time.
Dude was able to spin back so many times😭
I cannot express the amount of pure fear I felt when that dog went under the truck.
and the announcer too, you could hear the fear in his voice

Yeah that bit in the deadend in the suburb was so weird, do they not have tire spikes they just drop out their door? Because that would have been it if they did
Also why tf did they ram him into a civilian car at the end after he had been imobilised, and why tf did they then start shooting, his car was stuck and he had nowhere to run
@@Cheesepuff8 I feel like at that point they realized that he was willing to do anything to get out of that situation, and if he was able to escape with the car *again* he could kill someone on the road. Also, they’re American cops so they’re a little loosey goosey with discharging their guns.
@@Cheesepuff8 And idk why they’d hit a civilian car, that was dumb lol
I don't understand why they didn't shoot out the tires of the van they surrounded... They literally let him go where he could possibly kill a family on the road when they had him. What kind of police are these? Stupid af

So many (young and jobless) people are laughing at this chase while many responsible car owners got fcked especially the truck owner. "dOnT wOrRy, iNsUrAnCe wILL cOv-" STFU. First of all, the pathetic loser of a criminal won't be held liable due to most likely not having insurance and the lax Cali laws. Second, insurance companies are shady af and some may raise monthly premiums just because a subspecies of a human decided to fck up everyone's day.
Especially the guy who was falsely arrested
Especially the owner of the van. Probably a van lifer or some shit. Nvm so much more shit happened than I expected.
Yeah, but it'd make a killer story

It´s not going to get better from here on.
He does these chases a lot 😭pursuits are common in California
PENGUINZ0 IS AN AMAZING CONTENT CREATOR LOL
Feel bad for the bystander that got arrested. Similar thing happened to me in Seal beach, didn't get arrested but the police forcefully took my totaled car in for investigation. It was also a chase that ended in a head onto me, shots were fired. I was sent a collection notice for $2000 for storage of that car, another $1000 for towing (to a lot 3 miles away from the crash), then a bit more just to tow it home so they stop charging more for storage. The police told me they cannot do anything about it.
Hope this guy will recover quickly.
Fucking americans man. Did you not get any compensation for that? I would've raised *hell* that would make the doom guy look like a tree hugger
damn it, that sucks. I hope at least insurance helped a bit.
@@VicJang insurance probably railroaded OP like they always do.
Damn, that sucks. It's just not fair sometimes, huh? How are you doing now, did insurance pay for the car or did you perhaps get back on your feet with no help from them?
@@netts2315 Doing great, thanks for asking. A month before the crash, I downgraded my insurance to 1-way since i was young, broke, and thinking nothing bad ever happened for all the years I've been driving. Of course the other dude had no insurance, no job either. He was drunk and had 2 kids inside. Figured I didn't want to waste my time going to court because I just started my career.
The only thing I'm pissed at now is how the police handled things, especially the one that opened fire into the car from the rear passenger side, he was lucky that he missed both of the kids by mere inches.
if you look carefully trough the video you can see it becomes even night and they are still on the chase
i COMPLETELY forgot to thank you for this vid! it helped me make a presentation for an A in my class last year.
How is nobody else mentioning how the commentator and Charlie are LITERALLY riffing off of each other as if they were in a phone call together during this entire chase. Watch how Charlie will say something and then the reporter will be like yeah I know right? Or when they both were mentioning a head on collision would have not been ideal at the same exact moment. It’s uncanny
