WOW FDNY Firetruck Plows Through Double Parked Cars to Fight Bronx Fire 8.28.21

[@brustar5152]

Legally parked cars owners should be authorized to sue illegally parked car owners for damages done to their cars as a result of FDNY pushing double parked cars into theirs. Double parked car owners insurance should refuse to reimburse for damages. NO ONE should be allowed to sue the FDNY for this type of issue.

They arent capable of comprehending that. Nor are the commenter saying "tHaTs IlLeGaL tHeY aRe GoNnA gEt SuEd AnD fOuNd GuIlTy" lol. The car owners are going to be held liable either personally if they don't have insurance or their insurance is going to pay for any damages to the firetrucks. The cars are illegally parked and impeding rescue vehicles. These people don't understand illegally parked cars automatically accept all fault because they shouldn't be parked where they are in the first place. The car owners are now responsible for any damage to the fire trucks. Hopefully their insurance is up to date, or they actually have insurance. NY state you're required auto insurance but there is alot of a certain type of people who refuse to do what is right or follow the laws in NYC. Damage over a certain amount is considered first a misdemeanor, then at a higher value it is considered a felony and you will serve time in jail for the damages caused by their illegally parked vehicles if they don't have insurance, on top of misdemeanor for no insurance and driving as it is a misdemeanor offense to drive without insurance in NY. If their car was parked where it belonged, they wouldn't have the trouble on their hands but there is a certain kind of people that don't do what is right and refuse to be good people and live a lawful, honest life. I am willing to bet money on what kind of people parked those cars there. Here's a hint, dreads, drug dealers, loud rap "music" blaring from their car that has gawdy wheels and stereo system but the dash is lit up like a Christmas tree, tires are bald to the belts, oil has never been changed and low, and brakes scream as they are way beyond worn but, "ise gottes dha 22s andes dha starweoh whit dha rofers"

Why were those cars allowed to create that hazard to begin with? The city needs a campaign to educate the residents. First, blanket the problem areas with flyers, advising them of the danger and warning that enforcement will begin on such-and-such a day. It gives them a chance to figure out alternate parking arrangements. Than on that day, Tag & Drag! It's crazy that city officials allow the streets to be blocked, preventing fire equipment from accessing an area. Are the gonna wait til it causes a death before they decide it's important enough to fix? Yeah, probably.

[@Tim_Gagnon]

I bet all the lawyers for the city felt that disturbance in the force.

[@joebcool1981]

Outstanding... awesome job...

[@IME987]

I’m cool with it!

[@NupSandCastle]

The illegally parked cars should be confiscated and sold. Proceeds go to a. fund for fire victims.

[@annamarielewis7078]

[@msarricchiojr]

Driver did what they had to do. You can replace a car, not a human.

[@giovanni9187]

[@richardcoram1562]

CLICKBAIT...It Doesnt happen in video....a fake headline.

[@donnaviestenz7773]

Good for them!!! People are AHs all about themselves.

[@cpjr715]

Ramming a illegal parked car into a legally parked car is definitely not okay.

[@aaronsmith3686]

That’s on the illegal parked car, if it wasn’t there it wouldn’t have happened. It’s not the Firefighters fault that guy blocked the street.

[@Thunderbyrd.]

The illegally parked cars are at fault. Would be their responsibility to pay for the repairs on the cars that were legally parked.

[@stopandthink3479]

If it was necessary due to the emergency then it is OK. Even if the car is parked legally, sometimes it is necessary to make sacrifices for the greater good. The FD often has to break things to do their job. In the end, the insurance companies will work it all out. The important thing, is it doesn't sound like anyone was hurt in the fire and in the end that is all that matters.

[@robbarbour8628]

Freaking awesome...love it...damn I miss being up north again instead of purgatory!!! Lmao

[@williamreed5470]

Sometimes that feeling of entitlement comes back and bites you in the A**.😂😂😂
