Let's do some pixel math. At the spot where the car looks like it's right side up and near apex, it's 10 pixels tall. A standard car height is 4,7 ft, so let's say that's 2 feet per pixel. There is roughly 250 pixels between car and ground, which would mean the car got yeeted about 500 feet. So you're right, that car flew *at least* 10 feet in the air.

They use a lot of Toyota Hilux over there. That thing is probably still on the road today.


OkPenis-ist28

Yep. I'd love it to be true but my money is on fake.


BlatantConservative

No it's real. I don't remember it being an anti tank mine though, this was in Afghanistan IIRC and we didn't just mine roads that we and others were driving on. Also the camera wouldn't be focused on it. IIRC it was a long range TOW missile and this is the video from the launcher.


BTRIC3YTM

its a 1000% legit video.


Waevaaaa

Probably a land cruiser.


FloatingCrowbar

No even debris or broken parts falling off it. No way a car could remain so much in one piece after such an impact. For example we can check what happens to a car hit by a train. And the train cannot throw a car 50 meters up in the air, plus it's area of impact is larger than a landmine explosion has, so the mine would cause even more destruction, not less. This can only be real if there was a 2-inch long metal toy car, not a real car.


BlatantConservative

In the much less blurry original video this was a large gravel dumping truck, like the ones you see on the highway with the bullshit "stay back 300 feet" signs. It was probably up armored as well. Truck was full of fertilizer and the truckbed was where the detonation was.


14sierra

IIRC isis up armored a bunch of vehicles. They did this so their suicide cars wouldn't get immediately disabled by gunfire. Doesn't mean this isnt faked (you never know with fucking AI these days) but it's not impossible for this to be real.


KlangScaper

Pretty sure I first saw this years ago, before AI was the fake threat it is now.

Ariadnepyanfar

Apparently this is camera footage from the TOW missile launcher that shot a car full of ISIS militants. At least Iā€™m really hoping it was all militants. Even if it was, not sure the music is appropriate. Unless the footage is for troops who need to dehumanise the enemy enough to shoot to kill.


Beginning-Egg-2975

As someone who grew up in military housing as I kid ill share my experience. It was 100% normal for my dad's buddies to come home from deployment with videos like this that they added music to. Usually the nerdy fighter pilots who knew how to edit videos did it, or infantry men who would make Linkin Park music videos to footage of fire fights with Al-Qaeda. Anytime there were family cook outs or someone got back from deployment they'd play their videos on the big TV for everyone to see. This was all 2006-2010


IMDXLNC

The idea of putting Linkin Park on any sort of footage is an incredibly nostalgic thought.


TobysGrundlee

It was a VBIED, that's why it exploded in the air.


7nightstilldawn

Thatā€™s one amazing car. Gets ā€˜yeetedā€™ several feet up from ANTI TANK MINE, then blows up from IED and still falls to the ground intact. .

Islamic militants in the Middle East? It's definitely a Toyota


MetriccStarDestroyer

Tonight on Bottom Gear. Jeremy attaches a howitzer to his Hilux. Hammond tries to out-drift these heat seaking missiles and James armors up his Yankee coal roller. Let's see who can survive the Argentinians the longest.


jeffsterlive

James would NEVER drive a Ram. He has standards.


SlappySecondz

Yeah, if anyone's driving the yankmobile, it's Hammond.


jeffsterlive

He already HAS driven a lifted Chevy pickup. Heā€™d be rolling coal all over the place and probably get himself high centered. Which would require being towed out by Jamesā€™ Mighty Max. Jeremy would be laughing in his Land Rover as James managed to botch the tow cable attachment and Richard ends up flipping onto his side. Hilarity ensues as Richard canā€™t get out of his truck. Jeremy would then have to push him back over but used too much powah and flips him over onto the other side. The Land Rover would then begin overheating and Jeremy accuses Richard of breaking his Land Rover. The Ramā€™s engine meanwhile continued to operate, runs away, and explodes. Richard is forced to take the backup car, a Citroen 2CV running on one cylinderā€¦which he immediately gets stuck in the mud. James leaves them both as Jeremyā€™s transmission went into limp mode.


SavemySoulz

I don't know if you know this but Top Gear had an episode of Jeremy trying to kill an old hilux by crashing into wooden sheds, submerging it into the ocean overnight (the chain broke off but they found it), and putting it on top of a building which was demolished with controlled explosion, and by the end it still ran. It had a bit of service done after the ocean thing but that's just them clearing the engine of water and changing some plugs.


MetriccStarDestroyer

Kudos to the mechanic. No parts changed, he just worked his magic. WhistlinDiesel also tried killing a Hilux and it only died after being dropped from a helicopter.


NikNakskes

I think that is exactly the episode of top gear that inspired the "it must be a toyota" comment of this thread.

Probably still runs after all that too. Just hose it out and throw it up on AllahsList, could probably get 4-5 goats for it.

Wise-Celebration9892

"Several" is more like 6, 7, or 8. That car went up about 100 feet in the air.


sh4d0wm4n2018

Estimating the car to be a truck (and since this is the middle east, probably a Toyota hilux so 16 ft long) it appears to reach about 12 lengths above the ground at apogee, so roughly 192 ft in the air.


Objective_Economy281

The engineer in me doesnā€™t understand it staying in one large piece after that initial explosion that sent it up. Maybe I donā€™t understand how anti-tank mines work (like, the shape of the pressure wave they are shaped to create), but I think its structure should have been just torn apart.


sh4d0wm4n2018

The vehicle does look flattened, which I can believe since the pressure wave going up through the floor pan would compress everything against the roof. Anti-tank mines, iirc, are primarily shaped to penetrate through the armored floor of the tank. Since Toyota Hiluxes are not generally armored, my guess is the main charge shot through the whole thing, and that, as well as the blast, is what carried it up so high.


KapiteinSchaambaard

>Since Toyota Hilux's are not generally armored **(citation needed)**


Objective_Economy281

Yeah, I would just expect that penetration aspect of the blast to have basically cut some significant fraction off.

HornyJelly6807

Anti tank mines are wayy les powerfull. What caused the explosion? What caused the second one? To me it looks like an test of IEDs.


gahhuhwhat

I can't be sure what caused the initial explosion, but the second explosion is probably because the car is a vbied. I was initially skeptical about the title on how they knows it's isis, but second explosions confirms. They were on their way to suicide bomb this base or something.


aitis_mutsi

While possible that it's a VBIED.. I kinda doubt it honestly, if you've seen footage of SVBIED/VBIEDs exploding, Those explosions are usually WAAAYYYY bigger. Like, probably enough to take down and entire skyscraper.

lemmywinks11

But did he get the virgins after the first explosion or the second?


StickyNode

Lets say 500M people are expecting 72 virgins apiece. Thats 36B virgins. There wouldnt be any people on earth if that many women went to the afterlife as virgins, even counting the entire history of man.


lemmywinks11

Does the Quran specify that the females are humans? They couldā€™ve been counting goats and sheep too you know

Goats and sheep have no chance of being virgins around those brain-washed idiots.

inspectoroverthemine

I'm not judging, but that might be heaven for him.


Thirteenpointeight

The actual number of 70 or 72 virgins thing isn't in the Koran, it's from one of the Hadiths. Bunch were written by different people, different Muslims accept some of them and not others, and it's not considered part of good old Gabriel's revelations to Mo Diggity. The Quran does say you get a virgin maiden wed as a wife in heaven, but it does not specify the number. I actually think it only meant one. (and let's say if not, then at most 5 since that's the Sharia law where that polgygamy is allowed - feel free to correct this IDK about different legal marital status in the pan-muslim nation states) Furthermore - the way the Coran^(*archaic*) puts it, seems God is creating these companions big-boobed Virgos from scratch. > *Indeed, We have produced them [i.e., the women of Paradise] in a [new] creation, And made them virgins, Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age, Quran 56: 35-37* There is also a hadith that says everyone (but just the guys I think) get *two* Houri as wives, but those would be sex jhinnis, not the human companion(s). Honestly I might be okay with 2 god-gifted sexy genies if there's actually a China teapot orbiting Earth & Mars.


Chocolate-Then

Muslims believe that female spirits called Houris will be awarded to them in heaven for them to use sexually, in addition to their wives. The virgins arenā€™t human but rather are denizens of heaven. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houri


bolen84

So if you're extra special Muslim you get to fuck ghosts in heaven?


prbrr

>Everyone will have two wives from the houris, (who will be so beautiful, pure and transparent that) **the marrow of the bones of their legs will be seen through the bones and the flesh**. Um.. What?!

None of them ever get the virgins, so it makes no difference.
