DWB, Q'on and T-Dubb have a close call in Brazil
 

So we are on our way down Sugar Loaf today (Pao de Azucar) and the fucking thing locks up mid way on the top portion... people falling down and the cart is swinging all over the place.

The car going up FLEW up the mountian and next thing you know, we are all over the place with a several hundered foot drop below us. We were stuck for couple minutes and then they took us down VERY slow. And it happened again. Then they got us the rest of the way down. The cars shut down for a while after that... and we waited to film the next group of dumb asses to go up in case it dropped. Real TV baby!!! Nada.

We don't know what happened but it was was one scary fucking moment. We thought we were gonna drop they way it was swinging.

The irony is we were poking fun at the view of Corcovadao (jesus monument) perfectly framed in the open window as if it was the last thing you were going to see before the cable broke... 30 seconds later we were on our ass, cafr swinging at a dead stop. fuck. The same Corcavado that almost fried me in 2003 after a lightning storm came in while I was up there, hitting Jesus and charging him with electricity... bolts of blue static was coming from his arms onto us, making hair stand on end. freaky shit.

Then we did the helicopter around Rio. :thumbsup

Dude, I am totally lost. What are you talking about? A cable car? A hillside elevator-car? An amusement park ride?

you aren't alone.. :1orglaugh

Its a cable car and one hell of a drop....

Damn. DAMN.

God is Brazilian, He saved you guys

Thanks Jer... good pic. That was a scary moment and I will never, ever go up there again.

And yes, God is Brazilian.

I was very afraid something like that would happen when I went there in 2001. I'm glad you guys are ok. I don't think I'm going there again.

Good idea on the lift, but the helicoptor was bad ass. A must do. :thumbsup

When I read "people falling down" I thought the worst happened.

damn..close call

:1orglaugh When I SAW people falling down in the car, I thought the worst. lol That thing was rocking back and forth like a see-saw. Almost shit my pants.

Oh damn!! Glad to hear ya'll are ok that would have been a HUGE loss to the ebony niche if we had lost you and q'on (not saying that t-dubb is an acceptable loss)

*looks at the horns on your head in ya sig*
kinda makes you wonder though...this being the second close call for you... hmmmm

ya'll be safe and have fun!!

:winkwink:

jesus man, ill scratch that off my list of things to do lol

:pimp Yup, could be the horns. Maybe I should stop wearing them. They do draw unwanted attention, but then I'd have to do something with my tail...
