Well he doesn’t have to worry about the snow now.
Hope there wasn’t anybody in the car.
A few years back my bike commute took me past a construction site. For some reason a crane was suspending a heavy load over the left lane in the road and this one driver just sat there waiting for it to move. Everybody else just went past but that guy wasn’t taking a risk.

It looks like that viralhog youtube channel took the guys original video and added foley sound effects (you may be thinking it’s odd that the sound of a car being destroyed is the same as a bunch of kitchen implements falling on the floor)

This happened when I lived in Montreal years ago. Killed a young woman on a dinner date with her husband on the patio of a restaurant. https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/falling-concrete-slab-kills-woman-at-montreal-restaurant-1.417370
