Are you kidding me?
Who thought that would be realistic?
A car pulls in front of another car and stops! Then, a truck has time to pull alongside James Woods' car, hoist the car up and over the embankment and not ONE person sees it happen?
On an Atlanta highway? During (i presume) rush hour?
It wasn't a forklift. It was a refuse truck with a side mounted lifting arm. They are common in metropolitan areas where big recycling bin style cans need to be lifted and dumped into the trucks bin. I do however think they embellished how strong and big the arm on the truck was. I have hever seen one that comes out all the way that length and I have no idea if they can pick up a car enough to lift it over an overpass guard wall and rail. So I say it was mildly realistic but still very obvious.
Thousands die every day for no reason at all, where's your bleeding heart for them?
There is no way that arm could have lifted that car even if it was right next to the truck. It certainly could not have lifted it when extended 15 feet.
Even if it were strong enough the weight of the car that far from the pivot point wold have turned the truck on its side.
Fak u Dolan..............Gooby pls
Yeah that scene annoyed me too. And you haven't even mentioned it all.
He was on the phone while it happened - for quite a while actually. And he didn't think of telling the other person that he was just about to be murdered using this forklift? He could at least have told everything so people would have known it wasn't an accident.
Ah come on, ever seen prison break the tv-series? Now that is one m.... stretch. It was a great mini-series I loved it. I can only complain about the open ending.

Not to mention that every overpass in Metro Atlanta has an 8 foot chain link fence on the sides to prevent suicide jumpers.
shareAlso the fact that apparently "all signs point to an accident". I couldn't imagine a single scenario where someone who's screaming help for 10 seconds and somehow manages to clear his car over a 4 foot barriers without making a single mark on it could be an accident. It's baffling how the writers could think that ANYONE would find that even the least bit plausible.
shareI actually thought this miniseries was pretty good, but I must agree with the OP here. There were absolutely no witnesses to that debacle? That was quite difficult to swallow!
