    There's someone still in that car struggling to get out!!! Front wheel drive can't reverse out, brake lights on, I'm sure they're freaking out!

    Mumbai police said that there was a well beneath the spot, which had been half covered by residents and turned into a parking space.

    There's your problem. What is it with people and not properly dealing with wells?

    3 points socialdisdain

    It was filmed by the owners daughter, and the owner has given multiple press interviews about the incident.

    So, if your argument is that someone must have been in the car, because the lights were on and the rear wheels were locked up, then both logical thinking and my engineering degree tell me you are denser than a neutron star.

    Well done for finding part 1 though.

    Stop lying. The owner filmed it.

    Dr Doshi said: “He raised an alarm, after which I rushed to the spot and saw that the car was sinking into the well. Then I shot a video.”

    2 points GUMBYtheOG

    Side windows are incredibly hard to break. Best chance would be to break the rear glass. Don’t ask me how I know this, but bricks bounce off side windows like rubber balls but go through front and rear windows like butter

    parent root
    1 points joeChump

    Well, it makes sense because a side window when closed is much smaller. But again, even if you broke it, you wouldn’t be able to get through because you’re in a tunnel effectively.

    Spark plugs go straight through any windows apparently. Criminals were using them a few years back to smash car windows. Literally just throw them through. So maybe it’s worth having a couple of those in the car lol

    Could u tell us more? Did the person get out?

    Edit: After some you tube research...

    Independent.co.uk said the owner 67 yr old Dr. Doshi 'raised an alarm' and shot the video

    Maybe that's why the brake lights are on?

    To me, something sounds fishy about all of this report - why would it sound like a kids voice saying 'holy shit' (a Dr wouldn't say that, less than a 67 yr old), and if an alarm was made on the car, the lights would be flashing! I'm having a hard time believing some of the crap that's being reported from England that takes its news from 'India times'!
