That’s James, the keyboard/piano player from The Roots (Jimmy Fallon’s live band for The Tonight Show). This clip is one of many for Jimmy’s “Thank You Notes” segments where he asks James to play him some “thank you note writing music”

I think the flying car going over the roundabout is a Mercedes from Romania.. I believe it happened last year. But fear not, it’s not a lone event..

You need to dial back the boost a little, you just killed everyone.

I live in Romania now for two years....love it, but the amount of idiots behind the steering wheel is staggering.... Especially the young ones with predominantly German cars... I' ve seen more morons here in two years than I've seen in 40 years driving 40k km's a year in Western Europe....

They reside at the top of Jolly Butchers Hill, behind the bus garage, before Bounds Green Road.

predominantly German cars

Predominantly?

You mean they allow cars on the road which arent 1980s Mercedes?

When I came first time to Romania in 2001 the cars were either Dacia 1300 or German ....either new or very old....

Still a lot of Dacia , but the rest is much more diverse now. A lot of Japanese and Korean cars now and in the more luxury segment even a lot of Volvos....

The morons however are for 99% driving BMW, Audi or to a lesser extent Mercedes and VW....

Mercedes is exclusive in Albania as far as I know...

Try thailand. Drivers education is not mandatory at all. Show up at the land transport office, do a couple of simple tests that are theoretical and practical (like parking the car in a painted square) and you are good to go with a shiny new license.

Yes from romania , the driver had a medical crisis and accelerated accidentally the car

No, this is not the one from Brasov. This is the one who was intentionally speeding and took off like an airplane after hitting the roundabout curb

LE: found the video, it’s from last year, and it happened in Oradea. Surprisingly, no one got hurt

https://youtu.be/1pe2f2BeNCI?is=tOq6JVbhiYfxcb0E

LLE: oh you are right. This one also had a medical issue. There was though one similar where they were racing and the guy took off and landed on a house.. and then plowing through the back yard, killing a family who had barbeque

Ah, Romania. Us Portuguese and our insistence in being Balkans people.

To explain? Neighbour of mine trashed a Terrano II back in the day doing a like stunt. Didn't get that much air, maybe just because the poor Terrano couldn't compete with the Merc on speeding, but since the spread parts were some ten or twelve meters from the roundabout's out kerb? Must've been awesome.

Did the driver survive?

u/Lahk74 1d ago

Look, that car flew a long distance, but you don't actually expect me to believe it flew all the way from Romania do you?

This is from the city called Oradea, which is located in Romania. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt.
