This video has been making its rounds on Twitter and various blogs this morning. I first saw it over on my wife's website, so I wanted to make sure I give her credit for discovery.

To quote John Gruber, "These guys must have missed the memo that the iPad was for consumption only and not creativity.

Hilarious Videos of Seattle Residents Who Have Never Driven In Snow Before

Cars sliding down a snowy Seattle hill: crashing steel Ice Capades:

From BoingBoing.net:

Here's a brief, excruciating video of cars losing traction on Seattle's Capitol Hill during this week's snowstorm and caroming downwards, out of control (the clincher is a city bus, and what appears to be the same white SUV that just keeps on trying to make it, as though the owner can't believe that his giant ride can't contend with puny black ice).

As someone who's been in a couple of high-speed, freeway ice-accidents (including a childhood trauma in which I was thrown from the car!) this was nearly too painful to watch -- though, as the closing credits remind us, no one was actually hurt on Capitol Hill that day. Which, I suppose, makes this into a kind of crashing steel Ice Capades.

Another video posted yesterday from their apartment balcony of some similar crashes from earlier in the day.
