The first car out is a black BMW. In some videos you can hear it drag, in other videos you can't hear it. And, yes, the Obama driver should have seen this immediately and realized his problem was going to be much worse with his longer wheelbase car.

 

I love all this monday morning quarterbacking...lol

I dont know if there is an alternative entrance/exit, but perhaps this is the same one they came in? Meaning if they successfully made it the first time, albeit with some grinding, why wouldnt they expect to make it out?

I'm kind of suprised that there is even anything hanging down that can get caught like that. I would have figured it would have been designed with skid plates to avoid issues like that.

 

Just needed more speed...

 

Looking at the video, it appears the front suspension collapsed. It is down on the wheels, and it dropped suddenly to that position. Watch it again and see.

 

Too bad they weren't using the latest "Beast." That big boy definitely wouldn't have got caught up in that situation.

Needless to say, the Secret Service was reporting that the President was not in that presidential limo.

its like a foot think holy ****

 

In that 2nd video TIMS01 posted it sure looks like the front suspension did collapse... Take a look at the distance from the white wall on the tire to the fenderwell as the car approaches the top of the driveway, then look at it the instant the car stops... looks like its riding several inches lower when it stops than when it was moving...

You can also hear some kind of grinding noise at 0:40.

 

**** man put some 24" hahaha

 

you see this car has hydrolic suspension that is ride height adjustable .. what you see is my guess the driver ****ing up and lowering the suspension not raising it .. coupled that with the weight aswell i mean you can hear the mettal armor underneath hitting the rail that the gate slides on.... my guess they did not rais it up and keep driving us just incase they ****ed something up .. but meh who knows all we can do is speculate lolol

 

It makes MORE sense that the reason the front tires look pushed up into the fender wells, is that with all that WEIGHT resting completely on the front end, it's overwhelming the suspension. Unless you're seeing something I'm not, the rear tires looked like they come completely off the ground with the weight focused to the front before they come back down and barely touch the ground.

 

pause the video at 0.05 and look at the wheels the far front one is in the air yeah he fooked uuuuppp lol trying to jump the beast ... you cant do that lol

 

Watch the security guys on the right of the gate, I guess that the first thought was bomb the way they jump.

 

Supposedly the 2005 model was built on a four wheel drive platform.

 

Yeah, they must be awfully tough guards I wonder what they would do when the bullets start flying
