This Is Not How You're Supposed to Fly Out of Dallas-Fort Worth International AirportBy Robert Wilonsky/Dallas Observer
A good Friend of Unfair Park, through a friend of a friend of a friend, just shot us this extraordinary video captured early yesterday morning at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Took place at the north toll plaza, which served as a launching ramp for one drunk driver trying to exit the airport in a hurry. DFW spokesman David Magana confirms: "The driver was, as you might guess, suspected of inebriation and investigated for such and arrested for such."
We also have fiery post-crash pics after the jump -- because after the driver went all General Lee, she got out and made a call on her cell, at which point the vehicle went boom. Hard to believe the "driver only suffered minor injuries," as Magana puts it. Oh -- and the toll-booth operator wasn't injured at all.
I think I owe the director of "Live Free Or Die Hard" an apology. Because after I saw Bruce Willis jump that car into the helicopter from a tool booth I laughed. I thought it was the most ridiculously unrealistic scene in film history. But now that I've seen this video it seems like entirely possible. Man, how drunk must you be to jump a car off a tool booth? I hope Toolbooth Willy went and had a stern talk with her afterwards.
