Watch a Street Collapse Swallow an Entire Block of Cars in Baltimore

This is obviously off-topic for HN. The guidelines even single out "videos of pratfalls or disasters" for exclusion. This is why.

Why are we giving pageviews to Time.com for this? Can we change this to link to the Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrNluXrrHKY

Why is this being submitted at all ?!?

Fundamentally, is this any different from LOLCats? After all the instances of "cry wolf" by the newcomers, is HN finally becoming Reddit?

Agreed - flagged

Is this a promo video for the new godzilla movie?

That's just the first thought that I had while watching it. Off-topic, you say? true, but so is the story. Don't mean to be insensitive to the people who were affected.

I don't know if my insurance would cover this.

I'm guessing it would be covered under collision, unless you can argue that the earth vandalized your car.
