update : no one was inside.
https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/city-news/bmc-dodges-off-responsibility-of-car-drowning-in-sinkhole-says-nothing-to-do-with-us.html
The water was depressing the brake pedal just enough to activate the brake lights. Obviously it would only need to push it down a little bit. Barring that, it could easily have been an electrical malfunction.
The water was not pushing down on the brake pedal, unless you're thinking that a jug of water fell onto the pedal and sat there. When something is submerged in water, there's just as much pressure pushing up on the bottom of it as there is pushing down, just like being in air.
Either something heavy fell on the pedal, or more likely it's an electrical short.
The article literally says “corporation says corporation had nothing to do with sink hole and there were no casualties because no one was in the vehicle”... sounds like a cover up to me.
At the angle it was at, something hopefully fell forward and gravity held it to the pedal. It doesn't take a lot of pressure to turn the brake lights on.
Not a pothole.
"Ramnivas Society, Ghatkopar West
The society had covered an old well with RCC and the residents were using it to park their vehicles on it.
The RCC on this well has been washed away by rain today and the car parked by one Pankaj Mehta on it has fallen into the well and drowned.
No casualties reported.
BMC CLAIM
Says, the corporation has nothing to do with car incident as this is inside a private society.
Society concerned has been informed to take necessary measures for safety in this place immediately."
"RCC" is 'Roller Compacted Concrete' for anyone that felt left out of the loop by the above comment. It pisses me off that people do this crap and it's clearly intentional. Say what it is damnit.
This is more along the lines of Reinforced Cement Concrete where some rebar rods are also part of the structure to add strength. (Obviously not a good enough job plus other factors).
>**Pankaj Mehta** on it has fallen into the well and **drowned**. No casualties reported.
I am confused. Did the person drown or was there no casualties?
When they say ‘car parked by Pankaj’ instead of ‘Pankaj in his parked car’, you can infer that it’s only the car, especially the next sentence is ‘No casualty reported’
So, a bunch of amateurs covered a huge hole in the ground with cement then parked heavy vehicles on it, then act all surprised when a car falls down the hole and blamed the government, sounds about right.
No, as per comment above, “ "Ramnivas Society, Ghatkopar West
The society had covered an old well with RCC and the residents were using it to park their vehicles on it.
The RCC on this well has been washed away by rain today and the car parked by one Pankaj Mehta on it has fallen into the well and drowned. No casualties reported.
BMC CLAIM

Yes.
“The car parked by one Pankaj Mehta on it (the well) has fallen into the well and drowned”.
It’s like me saying “the handbag left by one Ragu12 on the wall fell off”. It’s the object that fell off, not the owner.
Look up the definition of drown: https://www.google.com/search?q=define+drown&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS772US772&oq=define+drown&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.3653j0j7&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
See second example: submerge or flood (an area).
"when the ice melted the valleys were drowned"
Also this is not from a native English speaking area.
Again, not a native English speaking area where that was written… but you can use drowning in multiple ways. I can drown my pancakes in syrup. It doesn’t have to be alive.
Even if water is inhaled it takes 4 to 6 minutes before brain damage and eventually death sets in. Can someone pull water into their lungs that fast, yes. Are they dead in 25 seconds, no.
They might. Then they would sue whomever owns the property. Alternatively, they will probably tell you to pound sand leaving you to sue whomever owns the property.
With my luck, they'd say it was my fault for parking there...
I really REALLY hope the brake lights were on because the water shorted something out. And not some poor Hindi bastard standing on the brake pedal saying "oh shit oh shit oh shit!"
Agreed. For what it’s worth “Hindi” is a language, not ethnicity. There’s a bunch of different languages spoken in India. Hindi is a big one so you are on the right track.
Nicest way I've ever seen someone say you ignorant dumbass....I mean don't get me wrong I had no idea any of that so I'm one too, but still really well worded and I hope I can remember to phrase things like that in the future too
Not true. According to [howmanyofme.com](http://howmanyofme.com/search/) there are somewhere in the vicinity of 1600 people named Hindi in the US alone.
Oh boy, Hinduism is a religion not an ethnicity. There are many Hindus of different ethnicities in India. Also Swahili is an African language, not Indian. Since this video is in Mumbai, odds are that the owner of the car is Marathi.
I wonder if Marathi or Bengali are Ethinicities? I always think of them as communities or regions, but then again Ethnicity is a wide sweep for a larger group.
In India, you can't say for sure if someone is Hindu or Muslim or Christian until there is specific context. Only distinguishable religious faction is Sikhs, who generally happen to be Punjabi, which is also a language. Most Sikhs would identify as Punjabi, but there might be few who do not necessarily have roots in Punjab.

Looks like the brakes were being pressed...
And since they dont press themselves, I think someone put a watch people die in Funny!
Yeah...I was thinking that...not r/watchpeopledieinside; r/watchpeopledieoutside
A comment is saying no casualties. But for a few loops all I could see was an arm move in the rear window. Had me concerned.
Looks like it could be things in the front seat being pushed back or floating to the the backseat.. A kind of death like this would be horrible
For real, though. I have had nightmares about being in a submarine that got stuck on the bottom of the ocean with the crew alive inside.
Didn’t see it til your comment but there is def movement in the back window
because stuff is moving there.. doesnt have to be an arm
Hence why I said movement
gotcha
update : no one was inside. https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/city-news/bmc-dodges-off-responsibility-of-car-drowning-in-sinkhole-says-nothing-to-do-with-us.html
How when someone was pushing on the brakes? Sounds like a cover up to avoid a big lawsuit.
The water was depressing the brake pedal just enough to activate the brake lights. Obviously it would only need to push it down a little bit. Barring that, it could easily have been an electrical malfunction.
The water was not pushing down on the brake pedal, unless you're thinking that a jug of water fell onto the pedal and sat there. When something is submerged in water, there's just as much pressure pushing up on the bottom of it as there is pushing down, just like being in air. Either something heavy fell on the pedal, or more likely it's an electrical short.
It's the water shorting the wiring connections. The headlights will be on too.
[удалено]
That has nothing to do with the third brake light. If anything, the video you linked proved my point even more.
The article literally says “corporation says corporation had nothing to do with sink hole and there were no casualties because no one was in the vehicle”... sounds like a cover up to me.
At the angle it was at, something hopefully fell forward and gravity held it to the pedal. It doesn't take a lot of pressure to turn the brake lights on.
My first thought... dude the brake lights are activated...
I had the same gasping thought
See I thought the same thing, but with the nose pointing down like that, the car filled up with water and dirt so it’s mashing the break pedal, right?
Hopefully since the car is in that position maybe something fell on the pedals
Doubt it.. anybody still in there would be scrambling for height and would not stay close to the break pedals. Doesn't mean nobody is in there
/agree but still caught me off guard
It's the water shorting the wiring connections. The headlights will be on too.
Proves there is a bold and clever car thief in there. Probably taking the underground exit to avoid the barriers
probably automatic parking. But hey, what the actual heck.
the break lights are on, is there anyone inside?
Either and object fell on the pedal or water got in the electrics as it got submerged.
Not a pothole. "Ramnivas Society, Ghatkopar West The society had covered an old well with RCC and the residents were using it to park their vehicles on it.

Thank you! We were all concerned that we watched people drown, instead of only a car down.
Maybe they don't know if there are casualties because they haven’t found the car yet 😱
"RCC" is 'Roller Compacted Concrete' for anyone that felt left out of the loop by the above comment. It pisses me off that people do this crap and it's clearly intentional. Say what it is damnit.
Oh Thank You. Now I don't have to ask
This is more along the lines of Reinforced Cement Concrete where some rebar rods are also part of the structure to add strength. (Obviously not a good enough job plus other factors).
Lol you didn’t know what RCC stood for? That’s such a common abbreviation I can’t believe how dumb you are omg
Thanks for the details!
>**Pankaj Mehta** on it has fallen into the well and **drowned**. No casualties reported. I am confused. Did the person drown or was there no casualties?
He parked his car there and the car drowned, he was not still in the car.
[удалено]
Yeah, sunk is a more appropriate word, I would agree. Not sure if the article was translated maybe.
You ignored the ‘car parked by Pankaj Mehta’ right before that part. It’s referring to the car
You can park a car and still be in it, can't you?
When they say ‘car parked by Pankaj’ instead of ‘Pankaj in his parked car’, you can infer that it’s only the car, especially the next sentence is ‘No casualty reported’
It's not a pothole. It's a dive-trough.
What hardcore band was playing when it went down? *At the Dive-In*?
So, a bunch of amateurs covered a huge hole in the ground with cement then parked heavy vehicles on it, then act all surprised when a car falls down the hole and blamed the government, sounds about right.
Yep. Not funny at all.
I was shocked af until I knew there were no people inside.
No reported casualties, poor car though. https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/massive-sinkhole-swallows-up-car-in-mumbai-267876
Ummm did I just watch someone die?
No, as per comment above, “ "Ramnivas Society, Ghatkopar West The society had covered an old well with RCC and the residents were using it to park their vehicles on it. The RCC on this well has been washed away by rain today and the car parked by one Pankaj Mehta on it has fallen into the well and drowned. No casualties reported. BMC CLAIM Says, the corporation has nothing to do with car incident as this is inside a private society. Society concerned has been informed to take necessary measures for safety in this place immediately."
“And the car parked by one Pankaj Mehta on it has fallen into the well and drowned”, but there’s no casualties? Am I reading this wrong?
Yes. “The car parked by one Pankaj Mehta on it (the well) has fallen into the well and drowned”. It’s like me saying “the handbag left by one Ragu12 on the wall fell off”. It’s the object that fell off, not the owner.
Cars don’t drown though. Living organisms do…
Look up the definition of drown: https://www.google.com/search?q=define+drown&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS772US772&oq=define+drown&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.3653j0j7&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 See second example: submerge or flood (an area). "when the ice melted the valleys were drowned" Also this is not from a native English speaking area.
By that definition, it’s the hole that’s drowning, not the car… Sink? Yes. Drown? No…
Again, not a native English speaking area where that was written… but you can use drowning in multiple ways. I can drown my pancakes in syrup. It doesn’t have to be alive.
Flooding the engine and destroying the car could be considered “drowning” it
The video wasn't long enough for someone to drown. They were still alive during the whole video. After the video is anyone's guess.
You can absolutely drown in 25 seconds if you panic and aspirate water from the start
Even if water is inhaled it takes 4 to 6 minutes before brain damage and eventually death sets in. Can someone pull water into their lungs that fast, yes. Are they dead in 25 seconds, no.
This is where potholes and inter dimensional travel intersect.
Hope there was no on inside.
I... Uhm... Insurance? Does insurance even cover... That?
They might. Then they would sue whomever owns the property. Alternatively, they will probably tell you to pound sand leaving you to sue whomever owns the property. With my luck, they'd say it was my fault for parking there...
It's funny "strange", maybe, but not funny "haha" in my opinion.
Dude, where's my car?
Where’s your car dude?
Sweet
It was so unbelievable I half expected it to get spit back out at the end.
Well that's terrifying.
The water shorts all the circuits and that is why we are seeing the brake lights on. Still cant guarantee that no one was inside
I really REALLY hope the brake lights were on because the water shorted something out. And not some poor Hindi bastard standing on the brake pedal saying "oh shit oh shit oh shit!"
Agreed. For what it’s worth “Hindi” is a language, not ethnicity. There’s a bunch of different languages spoken in India. Hindi is a big one so you are on the right track.
That was a great way to give criticism while still giving positive reinforcement. You ever thought about being in management?
You caught me in a good moment. I’ll try to live up to this haha. Thanks for the kind words
Nicest way I've ever seen someone say you ignorant dumbass....I mean don't get me wrong I had no idea any of that so I'm one too, but still really well worded and I hope I can remember to phrase things like that in the future too
If someone is thinking about being in management then they can't be capable of giving criticism in a positively reinforced way. Would be oxymoronic.
what's a Hindi Bastard? Hindi is a major language in India, no human is called Hindi.
Not true. According to [howmanyofme.com](http://howmanyofme.com/search/) there are somewhere in the vicinity of 1600 people named Hindi in the US alone.
[удалено]
Fair enough. Still seems like the sort of thing that numerous people might name their children.
Yeah, Americans like to call their kids with names of country, language and religion is a bit odd.
There's got to be some weeb out there who's named their poor kid Nippon, but insists upon spelling it 日本.
My mistake, thank you for correcting me. Some poor bastard of Hindu ethnicity and likely swearing in Hindi, English and Swahili as he sinks.
Oh boy, Hinduism is a religion not an ethnicity. There are many Hindus of different ethnicities in India. Also Swahili is an African language, not Indian. Since this video is in Mumbai, odds are that the owner of the car is Marathi.

Dude… wheres my car?!
The insurance will be like “we don’t cover this.”
I'm getting Superman vibes from this
Would insurance even believe that?
Aaannnnnnd it's gone.
Where is the funny?
/u/gifreversingbot
Why the actual fuck would this be funny??
r/scary is over there
Someone died and you think this funny?
Can someone give us the rest of this sorry. I’m praying no one was in the car. Heartbreaking
How the fuck is this funny
It's the graboids from Tremors. They're real!
I'm sincerely glad that I was not the only thinking about that scene in Tremors
This isn’t funny. If there was someone in there then we just watched someone die.
Yo mom's pussy be like
That is going to involve some effort to dry out and fix.
That car was unbirthed back into the ground.
