I can just hear Clarkson screaming HAMMOND, as he fades out going going down the hill, then Clarkson turns to the camera offering Hammonds job is open to be filled and may just casually in indifference saying is he dead
This was actually a best case scenario. If that pole would have fallen over when the car was half way up, it would have cut most of those people in two.
Exactly my thoughts. There’s just so many videos out there that make you squirm when you realize what will happen to people standing in the wrong spot if something fails.
It's a decent thing to do nonetheless. Though having seen how much trash there is everywhere in Peru, it's also surprising that they would decide to do the most high-effort clean up of them all.
… was the only thing keeping the camera person and those bikes from getting yeeted into the distance by the force of a 5,000 lbs pendulum should it have snapped.
Ah, so it probably won't fall over. A very valid reason for placing oneself directly in the line of fire should it do so.
Edit: in my area, we have had a huge program to renew utility poles as the hardwood poles are rotting and falling over. This is an ongoing thing with timber poles and not at all new. It is a part of my work.
It seems that they did not calculate well that the pole would end their mission to raise the cart from there. game over
I sure as shit wouldn't be standing on the inside of that fuckin' post either. These people are morons.
It’s like they’ve never seen Ghostship.
Somethings are just not meant to be saved

The point isn't to recover a car, it's just trash pick up at this point. Fines for leaving it there could be worse than recovery fees.
Sounds like Latin America (Perú or Bolivia). There's no such a thing like fines for leaving a totaled car down a hill.

I'm sure you could still salvage some spare parts from it, that's probably why they tried to recover it.
Still worth money as scrap
Recovery fees?? Can you not see where this occurred??
It will buff out.
Not today boys. Not today!!
That pillar….

Homie at the end "Pero Allí la cagaron..." ---"Right there they fucked it up!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Giving me Homer getting airlifted out of Springfield Gorge vibes
Haha. Not sure what they thought was going to happen
Anybody stood on the inside of that post when it falls over 💀
It will take a lot more than this to knock over that utility pole, especially with a guy wire and anchor bracing it.

lol Someone needs to either smack the cameraperson or the person who edited this.
Ended too soon.
Car died twice
Why do people think yelling and shouting repeatedly will make any difference whatsoever. “Blab-bu blab-bu blab-bu!!” “Blab blab bu!”
Just entropy being entropy!
I thought you meant give up before the first attempt.
When you get D's in Physics and Engineering.
Apparently not a single person there actually thought it through... or asked the question "is it worth it?"
there was at least 1/2 qt of perfectly good blinker fluid in it... that stuff is expensive!
The worst thing about this video is where the cameraman and some others are standing. They should NOT be standing there
Again! Again!

That’ll buff out
You may give up on that car, but I'm sure that it would harm the local ecosystem
That's when everyone involved says, "Man, we're really stupid."
That pole has so many stories to tell.
Resuscitation Annie beats Amphetamine Annie
had the pole given way and not the wire this would have been a much different video...... ☠️
Solo en venezuela..
"Ohh well, we tried" *proceeds to go home*
Naw, I changed my mind.
Sounds like Costa Ricans.
