Real or fake?

If it's fake, how did they do it?

Why did the camera suddenly pan left BEFORE the vehicle came charging through? EITHER the cameraman anticipated the accident because he'd seen one vehicle come fast from the right, OR it's fake. (The t-shirt guy also seemed to look up twice at the cars as if anticipating something). The technology exists to make car crashes and fires look real. Any film student could do it as a project. I give it a 20% chance of being authentic.

it's fake. cars don't explode like that. it was on myth busters. also, an accident like THAT one wouldn't puncture the gas tank.

as for how it's done.... i'm not sure but special effects can be easily done at home these days. just look up freddie wong videos on youtube, he's a master at it.

just my opinion.

They didn't seem very shocked or surprised, right up to the end. That, and the explosion, give it away for me.
