Hahaha - that was my only gripe too - they got the guitar slides the wrong way round. I love the fact Natalie Intaglio got involved for it (might admit to a bit of a fondness for that particular antipodean)

And for another take on tapping style, Stanley Jordan plays Autumn Leaves and almost kills his bass player in the process.

Yeah, good old Stanley. Any discussion of amazing guitarists, and he's pretty much the last word. There's a whole stack of other guitarists I'd prefer to listen to, but there's no denying the man is freaking amazing.
(I mean musically. I find certain other traditional guitarists more interesting just from a musical perspective. Stanley's technique and unusual all-hammers playing style is brilliant, unique, and masterful.)

hopefully no-one was hurt
It sure looked like the first guy was on the gas a lot of the time- seemly trying to make things *much* worse.
That street must have a slope to it, too.
So glad I don't live in the snowy areas... what a pain!

Yeah, that was a popular video this week around here, since it was nearby and we had a lot of people getting in similar accidents. (King5, the logo on the screen, is a Seattle station.) Man that situation sucks.
Although I have to say, the ice storm a month ago was a lot worse for us. I guess Portland got hit bad with this last one.
It's like God keeps trying to nail someone in the PNW and keeps missing, so he's trying again each time. Hope he got his target with this last one, I hate getting caught in the crossfire.

I wouldn't say we got hit bad. It was less than 5 inches of snow. Really, that's nothing. A lot of people just don't know how to drive in snow here. They were requiring chains or traction tires in the city, and I'm just driving around, going... "why?" But then, the first time I ever got behind the wheel of a car was in the winter, on roads similar to that. (Amusingly enough, the only other person at work when I got there was a fellow who used to live in Alaska.)
To top things off, Portland doesn't have enough snow plows and sand trucks to be able to handle a snow storm like that, either. They keep all that equipment out at the airport (from what I heard), which means there's really only one way to get them into the city. Sadly, that one way was blocked by an accident. It was ludicrous that, by 11am, they hadn't been able to plow at least the freeways.
The snow is pretty much all gone, by now, however. The Portland winter emergency plan appears to be "wait it out." There was an article in yesterdays paper about this video. There were no significant injuries -- I think it said the driver of the car had to get a few staples in his head to close a cut, but that's it.

Did it say why he kept giving it gas? I mean, I could believe that it could be slippery enough so make it slide around like that, but when the car got to the row of other cars and kept pushing them, well, that's acceleration.

Something that isn't obvious by looking at the video due to all the snow, is that is a somewhat steep slope. Both of those streets are sloping down, that's why there's so much sliding.
That SUV wasn't giving gas when it hit those cars at the end of the street, it was just sliding down that hill.

Yeah, I think that's about the gist of it. I haven't yet been to the hill in question, but I do know that those other cars could likely have been parked rather precariously, unless they'd been parked there from before the storm hit. Unfortunately, I've already tossed the paper out, so I can't go re-read the article.
edit: Ah, found the article online.

Agreed, that there's other players that I prefer to listen to. Most of what makes Stanley so amazing is seeing and hearing him play. I was lucky enough to catch him in 89 opening for Al Di Meola. I don't remember much about Al's set but I do remember being completely blow away by Stanley.

The BBC is showing off a newsreel of the crash, linked from this page.Click the video link. Footage from the TopGear premiere episode airing seems to appear and disappear from Google and YouTube too quickly to link. I hope they can pull off a safe but crazy series for this year.

That episode was jut not very good. I usually really enjoy Top Gear, but the US episode was just not up to their usual standards.
