Rescue Operation Turns to Something like the Dismemberment Medieval Torture

Yes, most didn’t live past their 50s and a large part of them suffered from violent deaths, so it’s not like we’re complaining or anything. After all, it’s not a coincidence that the “getting medieval on something or someone” saying has negative connotations.

One of the favorite pass times of the commoners back then was to attend the public executions of fellow commoners. Don’t blame them, they didn’t have TVs and broadband Internet to watch them at home as we do.

To amuse their followers and also scare the crap out of them, the rulers were forced to come up with new ways of making those watching waste the little they had eaten that day. That’s why today we have entire museums dedicated to torture methods, and also plenty of material for movies such as SAW and the like.

One of these spectacular executions was called dismemberment and saw the unfortunate victim have their limbs tied to ropes that were then attached to four wild horses facing in four opposite directions. What followed isn’t hard to imagine, but it is gruesome.

We have absolutely no idea what crime this poor hatchback in the video below is guilty of, but we’re pretty sure whatever it is it did, the punishment doesn’t fit it. It was already in a rather precarious situation, sitting nose-down in what appears to be a sinkhole created in the pavement and covered with the water generated by the melting snow.

A large truck, probably from the local firefighters, judging from its paint job, comes to the rescue. It’s definitely got the might to pull the little car out of that embarrassing position, but does it also have the brains? Well, that remains to be seen.

Moral of the story: when the car that needs saving doesn’t come with a dedicated towing hook, it’s better to leave it like that then to “improvise.”
