The third Transformers movie has suffered several setbacks: an extra being critically injured, replacing Megan Fox, being titled Transformers 3: The Dark of The Moon (seriously). Now there’s been a crash on the Washington, DC set between the yellow Bumblebee Camaro and a police SUV. Vince covered this yesterday, but now there are videos taken closer to the scene, and I love the smashy like Bay loves explosions and coke-dusted D-cups.
A bomb technician was responding to a suspicious package call and using a different radio channel than the officers securing the film set’s perimeter when he drove onto the set. The stunt driver in the yellow Camaro didn’t see him in time to get out of the way. The officer was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The Dark of the Moon is a really stupid subtitle. The Metropolitan Police Department issued a statement that “filming of this movie on closed DC city streets has been suspended until safety procedures can be reviewed.” Yeah, that probably lasted about ten minutes.
The first video below shows the crash close up, and the second video has the crash and a news report. Bonus: reporter Shawn Yancy says this is “like something out of a really bad movie”. Um, did she see the first two? It isn’t like something out of a really bad movie, is all I’m saying.

Sidenote to the Farkers complaining about “The Dark of the Moon is a really stupid subtitle” being a non sequitur:
/McBain voice
“That’s the joke.”
Now how do I turn this voice off?
I hope she is fired and charged for everything. I see pigs do this all the time, hit there lights and drive through whatever cause they are so self inolved. God help us if a cop waits for a red light or traffic. I ope she gets arested and gets charges.

Dumb American is dumb. What are you, the red light Nazi? Get over yourself, you can barely spell.
“Dumbcop”, I’m sure she’ll be charged with something while responding to a suspicious package with a possible explosive in our nation’s capital. Go back to your parents basement and pretend movies are important and real.
BTW…Next time you have an emergency, call the Transformers and wait. I’m sure they will be there quickly. Or maybe when you call the police, tell them to take their time and stop for all the lights and stay in traffic. You’re an idiot.
