couldn't resist some photoshopping...

for those who didn't see....during filming for transformers 3, a DCPD bomb tech on an emergency came through the blocked off set streets (in downtown DC) unaware a scene was being shot. "bumblebee" came around a corner and got smashed by the DCPD suburban (which had little damage)...

there's live video out there too from a news crew that was filming the filming, lol. I just freeze-framed it. Good collision though. Full lockup by the Camaro.

Why didn't he just transform,and jump over the police car?? Seems like a no-brainer to me.

He did transform-into a parts car!

Sooooo....if that was a V8 car, and it looks pretty messed up....somebody near DC needs to be watching the salvage yards.

A quote from a "news" report:

The police officer driving the SUV is a 25-year veteran senior explosive ordinance technician. He was taken to a local hospital and sustained minor injuries.

According to this, the officer was OK until he went to the hospital. Who knew receiving medical attention could be so dangerous?

hospitals are very dangerous. Did you ever see how many die in them?

I've been to DC General years ago. People go in there with headaches and end up with amputated limbs

Michael Bay will just have the crew patch it up to look somewhat good and then jump it off a cliff or something- after which Bumblebee will explode because it's Michael Bay we're talkin about here..

You rang?

Seriously though, I'm sure its an automatic. And anything within 50 miles of DC is so vastly overpriced.... ask me- I bought a house in Arlington.

No E36 M3! I lived in Annapolis for 2 years. Couldn't afford a house if I sold crack door to door.

I lived in Laurel for a year and a half, considered moving there (around there...not Laurel), but the newly wedded wife said no.

I live in Laurel for 3 months. The crack thing might have worked in Laurel.

Truth. Apparently the person(s) that previously occupied my apartment were dealing. I was woken up several times in the wee hours by people tapping on the patio door.
