I've done it without even panicking once or twice, but been able to hit the brake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but you panic if you suddenly have your car attacked by a crowd. Not defending the driver but it doesn’t look like a premeditated attack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 If they did panic, what the hell were they doing there in the first place? You would have thought all of the parade routes would have been closed off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 You see this quite often all around the world. You take the wrong turn in your metal coffin and suddenly you're surrounded by delirious people. Arsenal away at PSG, Barca recently and now this. There's no saying how'd you react in that situation. Oh aye let's just jump out, leave my car and get beaten to death. Not excusing anyone's behavior but maybe don't smash on peoples windows causing them to panic? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should negate some of the speculation, but the damage may already be well underway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic case of panicking and hitting the accelerator instead of the brake, it's a weird phenomenon. Sounds weird as well but I think if it was deliberate they'd have done more damage. Just hope everyone's okay. Speeds up twice though. If it was once fair enough but he slows and goes again. Fucking weird and absolutely awful. Hopefully casualties to a minimum 🙏 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully casualties to a minimum 🙏 If you just have you car battered by Liverpool fans then panic and hit Liverpool fans surrounded by thousands of other Liverpool fans you have no idea what kind of reaction you’d have. not defending or blaming anyone just best not to jump to conclusions. It’s very likely a lot of people including the driver have had their lives ruined by something that could have been avoided Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Looks relatively together closing the door when the banging is taking place yet he's completely lost it seconds later to do what he did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 People do mad things in cars when theyr'e angry or panic. Even if you feel threatened you have to remember you are in control of a killing machine. If you find yourself in that situation it is best to just get out and ditch the car before you escalate it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 There’s also a video where he blares the horn trying to get thru. if it’s his intention to hit people he wouldn’t bother with that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Leaving all speculation/ motive aside; how did he get his car there in the 1st place has to be a major question. Thoughts are with all the victims. It’ll be interesting to see what details come out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty fucking mental thing to do like irrespective of whether there's been an altercation about them driving through prior. If that's what has caused it then person who smashed the window could be in a whole lot of shit now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Slightly different circumstances compared to a parade but at the end of every home game there’s cars trying to get through the crowds on the road from Leazes Terrace to the Trent House The drivers will often be going too fast given the amount of people they’re navigating through and the crowds get agitated with the drivers which inflames the situation I’m surprised there hasn’t been a serious incident Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
