An accelerator problem and a brake problem at the same time are very unlikely. He was obviously able to stop the car after plowing through all of those people. So, is he claiming that the brakes suddenly worked again, which would be very unlikely. Even if there was a mechanical issue, what’s his excuse for going down the road in the wrong direction?
Maybe dementia
some elderly people drive into buildings and they almost always have a problem with the gas pedal.
Clearly a user problem
My heart goes out the victims and their family’s. Nine people in one instance is a tragic lost of souls.
Simply check if the brakes don't actually work. And seriously only 5 years for this?
Korean law is very flawed in comparison to the West, “United States.” I’ve been to Korea several times and I have experienced times where drivers where reckless. As a pedestrian, you are required to yield the right way to vehicles or risk injury. Also I’ve ridden on buses where people were injured as a result of the driver’s actions.
@@ktkl68 wow don’t come after me, I am sorry to have offended you with my post. I have updated my comment and hope you are well with my comment. My comment is referring to the leniency of a country when it comes to manslaughter or homicide. I am simply giving my opinion as a human being on what I believe to be injustice for the victims as well as a person who experienced the way in which people drive in Korea.
@@ktkl68 yes it’s very unfortunate for the family to know that their loved ones may not be avenged.
East asian mentality regarding accidents, that’s why they are bad at driving, they know they’d get away with a slap on the wrist.
If your car ain't stopping, shift to N (neutral) or pull the e-brake. Man people don't know how to operate a car these days.
Wait, what, possible to have no prison sentence or only 5 years? For killing 9 people? If it turns out that way which is crazy to me, I hope in SK all involved can sue in civil court.
Great. We supposedly have AI and self driving cars, but can't even put tech into a car to determine if there is manual pedal acceleration or computer aided. Or, if brakes are functioning properly.
That guy hit the gas and he thought it’s the breaks. Clear like glass
Most likely he hit the gas instead of the break
Very likely+panic mode.
‘brake’
This is an awful tragedy. I hope the family and friends of the victims can find comfort. Sending love from Aotearoa/ New Zealand.
Even if it's a sudden acceleration, he still has a full control of the steering wheel unless the steering got "stucked" too. So why did he choose to steer where those poor victims at?? He could've have crash it on the place where there's no people since on the CCTV he definitely passed by some empty parts with guardrails. Also why did his car got to a sudden stopped after hitting those poor pedestrians & the 2 cars? If the break was broken it wouldn't abruptly stopped unless it crashes to something solid like tree or a wall. Lastly, he has a 40 yrs driving experience, he definitely has knowledge on what to do when encountering a "sudden acceleration" situation. Anyways, RIP to 9 victims, get well soon to those critically injured & hope they will get their fair justice.
Why not just turn the ignition off? When I was a new driver this similar thing happened to me. Fortunately, I was able to get the car off the road and into an empty lot of dirt. When the cop asked what happened and I told him, he asked why didn’t you just turn the ignition off? I would still be able to steer though it would have been without power steering. I look back on that day, and it now seems so simple. RIP to the victims. I truly hope this isn’t a case of someone with money and or power trying to get out of their actions.
Easier to just shift the transmission into neutral. If you turn the key past the off position into the lock position then you can't steer the car.
unfortunately it is Korea, there are pedestrians EVERYWHERE. It's hard to say where it was specifically to know if there was a less crowded place. There didn't seem to be many big trees he could've hit. The car would've definitely plowed through guardrails if they are only drilled into the cement.
Only investigation of the blackbox would be able to tell what would happen here :(
This is so tragic. I’m so sorry for those who died and my heart goes out to all those injured and the families and friends of those killed. Cars are so dangerous and human error (if that’s what happened) is a reality. I know here there have been instances over the years of people (especially elderly people) accidentally hitting the accelerator instead of the brakes. The idea the car could have accelerated on its own is even scarier. I hope the police can determine what happened.
Всегда есть ручной тормоз
Wow 745 people in just 2023! That's alot for somewhere small like SK.... honestly the issue of our elders retaking their drivers test is something ever country should look into
Curious to know whether the couple were kept separate afterwards to make sure their witness statement werent in collusion with each other
All drivers need to know how to quickly put their car into neutral in case of emergency.
old ppl can't handle the power of modern cars..
The WITNESSES stated he braked after he hit the pedestrians. He was flying the wrong way. Are you joking 5 years. for 9 people he killed? My GOD please create stricter laws to protect your citizens…S. Korea. 🤦🏻♀️💔
Stuck accelerator does happen in rare occasions, applying the break does little to stop the vehicle, it’s incredibly scary situation for the driver. I think the driver panicked and tried best to avoid vehicles and people but ultimately it ended in tragedy. It more than likely a mechanical failure due to the age of the vehicle. Not sure why the Korean government targeting older driver because of this situation. Let’s face it, the worst drivers are usually teenagers who don’t have driving experience. That’s why teenagers drivers has to pay higher insurance premiums than any other age group, the data don’t lie.
@@ndychung007 That is a good point but cars still breaks down even after a recent inspection. Also, these inspections are general and not done throughly, mechanics only take short time to check the vehicle, usually they only notice that are physically damaged. If you watch other “stuck accelerator video accidents”, it is incredibly similar to what happened here.
Or driver is lying, which is the most likely reason. Skill issue.
@@ndychung007 From what I saw in the news and video, the vehicle in question became out of control almost as soon as the vehicle was in motion. When you’re in a out-of-control vehicle at maximum speed, you only have split seconds to determine the course of direction. You don’t have time to determine if the street is one way or not, especially at night and in a mega city like Seoul with so many intersecting streets. Also, the vehicle came to a Rolling stop after the accident, the impact of the accident caused the vehicle to stop and not because the brake was applied. I think most people in Korea are rushing to judgment and very eager to condemn the driver, much like a lynch mob. Imagine you are in a vehicle traveling at 100mph and there is no way for you to stop, can you imagine the absolute fear and desperation the driver felt, can you really say you can do it better? If so you must have a reflex of a Superman.
@@JojoJoget Or maybe the vehicle was malfunctioning and you just don’t want to believe it for whatever reason. When a out-of-control vehicle is traveling at maximum speed at night with so many people and intersecting street, it’s impossible to avoid the accident, or maybe if you have a Superman reflex. Let the police do their investigation, so many people died, it’s important to find the true cause of the accident and not prejudge.
And that's not the first car with breake trobbels but to drive in the wrong direction I don't get
People in Korea claim 'sudden unintended acceleration' as a defense WAAAY more than in other countries to excuse operator error or negligence. Trust me, as a Korean myself, they are full of shite. Only in Korea, do crazy things like this happen on a regular basis. It's really not a safe country.
@@forexdragon I can understand that when he drove in the wrong lain he had som other plans
La macchina si è fermata in mezzo alla strada, dopo aver travolto i pedoni e urtato le automobili. Quindi il guidatore ha azionato i freni.
Tragic and sad incident. Clearly it was driver error based on the investigation.
Condolences to the victims and family
Korea: Elderly people can be dangerous behind the wheel.
Florida: First time?
I wonder will they investigate this case openly now, because this is not the first case, one or two years ago there's similar case when a car combusted then accelerated out of control, the police didn't do anything about it, the member of family had to beg the cctv footage from the shop and business owners along the streets to prove her innocent, the official covered it up for the sake of the car's company, usually south Korean cars are produce by companies that under chaebols' company. Btw there's a tv show that made a coverage about that case, that's my source.
참으로 끔찍한 재난, 희생된 불쌍한 이들, 유가족들에게 조의를 표하며 하늘의 위로를 받고 더 이상 슬픔을 알지 못하리이다 💐🕯😔🌸🇮🇱🇰🇷
Looks like another case of an accelerator that got stuck in the floor mat.
Old ages with deteriorating eyes sight.
Flexibility of hands and legs will decrease due to old ages.
Malaysia also have deadly accidents caused by old aged driver😢.
That’s why you don’t let old people drive high powered cars
Handbrake, can be used.
Husband and wife inside the car? If they are maybe the two are fighting..
😊why didn’t he shift to lower gear and then pull the hand brake but if u look at the video his brake did work at the end it makes no sense
Cracked rib cage? Did the airbag not properly deployed?
The force of them deploying may have done it. Airbags can cause impact injuries. Just a guess.
L'apertura dell'airbag è talmente forte e improvvisa che può anche uccidere.
You do know that old people bones break easily right?
thats why u need AI to drive it for u so u can blamed AI if it malfunction
In the older video to this, they said that the couple were fighting on the recording they recovered and that was mention of life exiting. And, in here, we hear that they had their testimony lined up to say that it was sudden acceleration and that the brakes didn't work...I hope the prosecutors go for murder instead of involuntary manslaughter. Unless the angle is that the driver wanted to accelerate and end it all with his wife and he didn’t think it through and "accidentally" also took 9 lives. Something juat doesn't sound right. It's giving premeditated and reminds me of a case in Canada where a guy rented a car just to plow into as many people as he could for incel reasons.
why they NEVER say that the car is an automatic gear one ? and why the autority dont announce the number of automatic gear cars are involved in accident compared to the manual gear ones ?
Bruh its a genesis g80. Luxury cars like that only come in automatic.
Il cambio automatico non ti impedisce di frenare.
@@bqanto usare un auto o moto manuale è molto più sicuro perché sei obbligato a fare una serie di manovre ,quindi sei più attento ,oltre al fatto che devi usare entrambe le braccia ed entrambe le gambe ,nelle auto automatiche usì solo una gamba ed un braccio ,quindi é più facile distrarsi e ,in molti casi si accelera invece di frenare
@@shogunero3.6 I'm confused. Other reports say it's a DH from 2013. Source: ruclips.net/video/mZUGeaiReLY/видео.htmlsi=VzxxSwvqPApczlfq&t=90
In Korea almost all cars are automatic
Clearly fell asleep at the wheel at the very least. Cars don't just accelerate at random.
Unlikely, he and his wife had just left a hotel carpark
Wife in car too? The driver meltdown can be triggered by her nonstop nagging and complaining. The wife is quick to blame the brake.
And you are quick to blame the passenger rather than the driver or the car - the obvious suspects. Do you ever wonder if your bigotry has made you a moron, or if being a moron made you a bigot?
Not to mention that what the wife was doing was backing up her husbands claims after 9 people were run over, and rhe two of them could have died as well. And you *still* invent a story where she's antagonistic toward him!
Of course you will
Blame the wife for the action of the husband typical misogynistic moids
The mental gymnastics and false reasoning misogynistic moids come up with to blame w o m e n
Accountability is m e n Kryptonite
Mental gymnastics and false reasoning m e n use to be misogynistic and blame w o m e n
Today's vehicles are very, very hackable.
reports say it's a 2013. Though still possible to get into a computer system to mess it with, you would need a lot of ports for a car that old...
@@Kaptionist 2014 story:
"Last year, when hackers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek showed they could hijack the steering and brakes of a Ford Escape and a Toyota Prius with nothing but laptops connected to the cars, they raised two questions: Could hackers perform the same tricks wirelessly, or even over the Internet? And even more pressing: Is your specific car vulnerable, too?"
Was it a terrorist attack?
i don't think
in the US there was cases like this with toyota years back where car accelerate and brakes dont work happened to my mom also but she manage to get it to slow down by pulling the car to side where theres grass
