Car Crashes Into Church Roof

By Queuebot in Auto & Transportation on Jan 27, 2009 at 1:42 am

In Germany, a speeding car missed a turn, and flew an amazing distance to crash into the roof of a nearby church.

The bank acted like a springboard, propelling the black Skoda about 35 meters (115 ft) forward and straight into the church’s roof frame, where it remained wedged 7 meters off the ground, police said in a statement.

    Wow – he must be going really fast to make his car jump like that.

    I’d almost say it was divine intervention… or a complete maniac at the wheel, either or.

    I love the fact that they mention the car damage being around $10,000-$13,000. In any country that means totaled, doesn’t it?

    You know how fast you have to be going to propel a ton-and-a-half car over 100ft through the air??

    We’re not talking going 40 in a 35mph zone.

    That car HAD to be going well over 70mph….

    What was it like inside the church? “God, if You let me win the lottery, I promise to give most of it to charity. IF I’m lying, may I be struck by-HOLY CRAP!”

    At least the guy survived.

    I guess God was his co-pilot.

    The priest of this church said,”there are some better methods to come in”. Wise oh wise, he has to cut a slack of the driver.

    Saw this on the roof last night! I wish they showed the snow embankment it hit to get such air time!

    To fly up 7 meters, the vertical component of speed vector, at the point of takeoff is of approx 42 km/h.

    I think he was going a little bit faster than the speed limit :o )
