NSFW due to the title of the video
 How big of a jerk do you have to be to do something like this? |

Last week I saw an ambulance trying to get thru an intersection... the 2 idiot cars in front were slow to move THEN... I see the ambulance still waiting ... only to see this young girl (late teens/early 20s?) walking in the crosswalk in front of the emergency vehicle... seriously, not even jogging. She had to have entered the crosswalk when the ambulance was blasting it's horns for the cars to move... i was  |

| I'm typically one who hates it when people immediately go to the "fake" mode, and I'm not saying it is the case here necessarily, but it does strike me that this is clearly not a surveillance video or something. So why is someone randomly shooting video out their window? The video starts way before someone would see what was happening and try to catch the moment. |

Maybe they heard sirens? Not sure. When I lived in LA, my computer desk faced the street nearly the same way and I could pretty easily do what was in the video. Seemed a little too elaborate for a fake video imo. |

I don't disagree. But I hear sirens and see approaching emergency vehicles every day and I never once think of reaching for a cell phone video.
Maybe I'm just old and not of the generation that shoots video of everything in hopes it will go viral.
I just find it weird that someone would be rolling that so far in advance of it being something you'd break out your camera for. |

Don't really see how I failed. Apologies if the title was misleading, but it was the best way to describe what was happening in the video  |

Because the title of the video was "F-ing idiot". I'm sure employers would be curious as to why an employee was watching videos titled as such during work hours. I didn't want to be blamed for anyone getting written up or fired  |

It struck me as something set up "fake". I hope someone took the license plate of the car. It's against the law to do what the driver did. He may have put someone's life at risk.

I don't know how it would be faked, the driver was going to drive up and down the street until he had a firetruck behind him? They would have had to try this for weeks unless a firestation was just down the street.
I think this is just a really bad driver. Do fire trucks not have loud blaring horns? This is the perfect time to lay into your horn if you're the fire people. |

It's in Germany...the fire engine had German word for their Fire department on it. Not sure what the laws are out there. Should have rammed him if real. |
