Jaqob P. ◊ 2006-01-04 21:04	Weird angle of photographing
FISH ◊ 2006-02-28 05:42	One of the best crash's in movie history!!!!!!!!! This Tahoe has a sunroof, aftermarket of course. Poor truck it was a very nasty way to die!
antp ◊ 2006-02-28 09:43	Actually there were two crashed with that red Tahoe in the movie (one in the picture above, and one later where it is hit by a truck)

firebird86 ◊ 2006-07-08 22:30	Just wait till Explorer4x4 sees this............ He'll be able to comment for days
antp ◊ 2006-07-08 23:25	It is listed since some time, so I guess that he already saw it (we are lucky that they did not use a Ford Explorer for that )

But I'd rather die in a beautiful car, then a Prius. And Tahoes had availible moon-roofs. What happened to the driver??? If it were a real crash, the driver and passenger would live, yet alas, they'd kill everything they hit. Oh well, can't have everything. -- Last edit: 2006-07-09 00:28:36

antp ◊ 2006-07-09 00:43	Yes, these are imaheshack ads, we can't do anything against that (well, you could either use Firefox or Opera that blocks popups, or install Google Toolbar - if you use IE - which also blocks popups).
firebird86 ◊ 2006-07-09 01:00	Thank God It happened to someone else too, I thought I was losing my mind, or had some arrant spyware adrift. -- Last edit: 2006-07-09 01:01:00
explorer4x4 ◊ 2006-07-09 01:01	If it were a REAL crash. This is a movie. And further more, not only SUVs catch fire. More small cars do because there are much more small cars then SUVs on the road.

Alexander ◊ 2006-07-09 03:00	explorer4x4 wrote If it were a REAL crash. This is a movie. ... If it was a real crash all the passengers would now be pushing up the daisies. Even without Hollywood's daft pyrotechnics or a boot full of nitroglycerin you stand no chance when you are being hit by a truck. Let me explain why: the truck weights 40 tons, the car somewhere between 1 and 3 tons. If your physics teacher is any good you will know that two masses (40 tons and 3 tons) with individual velocities (lets say 25 mph for the truck and, to make it easy, the car is not moving) will get a combined velocity, provided they stick together after the crash. As the energy stays almost the same (energy loss through deformation will be small, as there are only three tons to deform) the initial resulting speed will be somewhere around 20 mph. This means you car accelerates from nought to 20 mph in a fraction of a second. Your body's inertia will try to keep you in your position while the remains of your car move away at 20 mph. This means your head will hit the B-column with a speed of 20 mph. And that is not good in respect to your life expectancy. To make you understand what it means to hit something at a rather slow speed of 20 mph I'll ask you to make an experiment. Get yourself a watermelon, go up to the first floor of your house and drop the melon out of a window onto your concrete driveway. If the window is about 4 metres above the ground the melon will perform a touchdown with a speed of 20 mph. Have a guess: will it stay intact? Your head is about as hard. You can do all the calculations yourself, if you like. Take this link for a start: http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/1DKin/U1L5d.html Now you might understand why Antoine tries to tell you that cars in general are dangerous. For all that are still reading (brave!) but don't like physics or watermelons, have a look here: http://www.amuzensantics.com/videos/crashes/truckcrash.php
firebird86 ◊ 2006-07-09 06:08	Alexander: Theres a problem with your truck crash link, My computer froze up when I clicked on it.
qwerty_86 ◊ 2006-07-09 06:21	In this scene, the driver is having a premonition. The way the scene is played out, a log truck creates a pile-up and several people are killed, including the occupants of the SUV. The driver survives, but only lives long enough to see the semi truck coming towards her. This is where she snaps back to reality to avoid the pile and saves everyone.

I already suggested a solution but got no reply. Well, I added that now, so you simply have to type the code of the smiley between "[:" and "]". So if for example you want to display the smiley called ":apple:" on the forum : (move the mouse cursor over the smiley to see the code). I used that style as this code also works on the forum (with the []) but I cannot make the code without [] work on the site as it would conflict with the smileys that are hosted here. -- Last edit: 2006-07-09 12:25:39

firebird86 ◊ 2006-07-09 13:40	I recognize that clip, A teenage couple stole a riding lawnmower (thats whats in the back of the S-10 Pickup) and the driver thought he could out run the police. He and his passenger were killed. The driver of the Volvo that hit them was uninjured, however he never returned to driving professionally again. -- Last edit: 2006-07-09 13:43:57
explorer4x4 ◊ 2006-07-09 17:30	Alexander> Then a sedan (Citroen!) would have just about the same chance of life as a SUV (which, it has been said is stronger then an compact/sedan). I assumed it would not be very pretty even with an SUV. But I am pretty sure, it would be just as bad or even worse if you were driving a Citroen C6, Ford Fusion or other mid-size/compact sedans.
antp ◊ 2006-07-09 18:56	explorer4x4 wrote Citroen C6, Ford Fusion or other mid-size/compact sedans. Why do you continue to mix these? In lenght, the C6 (5m) is closer to the Crown Victoria (5.3m) than the Fusion (4m)
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2006-07-09 19:22	In the US the Fusion name is used for a different car: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Fusion_%28North_American%29
antp ◊ 2006-07-09 20:20	Oops As he was always mentionning it with the Focus, I thought it was also the same as in Europe... Well, then it is nearly the same length as the C6 (4.8m)
Alexander ◊ 2006-07-09 21:08	explorer4x4 wrote Alexander> Then a sedan (Citroen!) would have just about the same chance of life as a SUV ... Sure, if you are being hit by a truck it doesn't matter in which size of car you sit in. Even a bus wouldn't help. explorer4x4 wrote ...which, it has been said is stronger then an compact/sedan... The strength of the vehicle doesn't help when it comes to a crash. If its a truck that hits your car head on, don't bother about those trifles. Rather make up your mind if you prefer marble or granite for your headstone. If its another car it is more interesting. In a case of a crash the kinetic energy, which is proportional to the mass times the velocity squared, has to be used up by deformation. Any energy that is not being used up ba deformation will accelerate the remains of your car, yourself included. And all this takes places in a few milliseconds. A good car will have a very rigid passenger cell and rather soft parts outside. Thatfore cars have crumple zones. The soft parts use up the energy, the rigid cell keeps the passengers from being squashed. If the car you drive in is not well constructed in this respect (as all older cars and still quite a few modern ones) you may not need another car after a crash at all. A few years ago there was a crash test between a large SUV and a compact car, a VW Golf (Rabbit), if I remember correctly. The damage on the SUV was considerably small, as it used a lot of the compacts crumple zone for its own energy. The compact was severely damaged and the chances of survival for the driver would have been small. At the same time the dummy of the SUV was proclaimed dead as well, as the SUVs body was so stiff, that the acceleration level was too high for the driver. I would like to stop that subject here, as we are getting seriously off topic. But try to read about such things in serious publications. And always remember to drive carefully!

Jakub77 ◊ 2006-11-24 21:12	This is very nice SUV . I Like That
FISH ◊ 2007-01-07 19:48	Ok I have a 1999 Tahoe and the LT comes with leather which this one did not have, the LS like I have has cloth seats like this one, and explorer4x4 a moonroof was not availible as a FACTORY install till the 2000-2006 body style PS: I also work for GM
Diadem ◊ 2007-03-30 02:15	Um, that Chevy Tahoe looks so gnarly with its red paint job.
Diadem ◊ 2007-03-30 02:20	Although, none of the occupants wore their seat belts or safety belts, They would either be squashed the flipping SUV or ejected from the vehicle or died from the crash. EEK!!!!
Jun ◊ 2007-03-31 19:14	Now on air here, what a hard roll over
FISH ◊ 2007-09-29 22:56	The other thing that really bugs me is in the movie leading up to the crash the rear windows in the tahoe are rolled all the way down. Not possable in the tahoe cause of the doors on that suv windows must have been removed.
truck man ◊ 2007-11-20 05:50	This is a 1996, not a 1999. The 1995 dash is shown in in some scenes. It also doesn't have faux lug nuts on the center caps, making it a 96'. -- Last edit: 2015-06-02 01:21:12
FORD RECOVERY EXPERT ◊ 2008-05-24 22:21	If this is indeed a 96, Why aren't the DRL's (Daytime Running Lamps) On?? My 95 doesn't have the sim lugs either... If you have payed attn in this movie, you can tell this was an imported Tahoe (Canada or Mexico) due to the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) being a picture of the engine, rather than the words, "Service Engine Soon" Maybe that explains the sunroof also?? -- Last edit: 2008-05-24 22:39:46

Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2009-08-23 10:54	The film was made in Canada.
Skid ◊ 2009-11-14 20:41	Many of these trucks have the DRLs disconnected...they burn out after a while, and few people bother to replace them. You also see a lot of trucks running around with only one working. There are also people - like me - who can't stand the things and disconnect them on purpose.
tonkatracker ◊ 2009-11-14 21:14	I doubt there are many people in Canada that disconnect them as they are required there. Also on this particular model the DRL uses the low beam headlight bulb so people usually do replace them if they burn out as the headlight wouldn't work. There are a few things that could have happened to them, one thing is the DRL Relay and or the DRL module could be bad as this was a very common problem on these, or if the parking brake is on the slightest bit it will disable the DRLs (as will putting the Truck in Park) but who knows maybe the film crew disabled them. -- Last edit: 2009-11-14 21:26:16
Neptune ◊ 2009-11-14 22:59	The special effects department also either disabled or completely removed the dual front SRS air bags in the Ford Expedition for its premonition crash scene. They likely disabled or removed the Tahoe’s driver air bag, just incase it should deploy during filming of its crash. A lot of safety systems are disabled or completely removed or for filming reasons.

dhill_cb7 ◊ 2019-05-14 05:11	Main has to be a 1996 with the DRLs disconnected. Very silm chance it is a 1995 with the faux lug nuts being replaced. We may never know but we do know multiple were used. One thumbnail shows the 1997-1999 dash.
Truck_Guy ◊ 2019-07-13 02:57	explorer4x4 wrote And Tahoes had availible moon-roofs. The [GMT400] generation did not offer a factory moonroof/sunroof. The Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban didn't receive a factory moonroof/sunroof option until the 2000 model year [GMT800] redesign.
