This guy apparently ran the car up a guide wire, jumped out with the car running and hopped on a bus.

If you look at this pic:

you can see a decent amount of damage to the underside of the car under the passenger door. possibly hit something hard enugh to flip the car? If you look at the roof and roor lines, you can see tha the whole car is basically bent in the middle.

I'm just impressed at the stregnth of the utility cables. Why the hell does my power go out everytime a squirrell farts?

n/m I'm thinking the pics are faked.

If you look at the pic I put in my last post, it clearly shows wires wrapped around the wheel of the car.

But in this pic:

There are no cables. The cables don't exist in several of the other shots as well from other angles.

Thats because the camera is in perfect line with the the cables the car is hanging from, look on the right side of the pole you will see a black line running up the photo... thats the powerline..

The lines that he is on are cable and phone lines. The power lines are at the top of the pole.

Yeah RP, and btw the guy wires that he ran up and the cables hang from are usually stressed to around 10,000 lbs tensile pull so a car is not a big deal hanging from them strengthwise. ;)
