Doesn't make sense when you think about where they were, near the Lincoln Memorial which is just south of George Washington U hospital ("GW"). They'd be going in that direction anyways to get back to the WH, either by Constitution Ave NW or E St. NW.
I’ve seen some people say it doesn’t look believable, are they kidding me? The Presidential limousines are completely bulletproof, they can probably even withstand an RPG attack and have steel mesh-reinforced / reinflatable tires, but they’d keep those kinds of capabilities classified. When the President travels abroad, one is flown ahead, along with Secret Service support vehicles, on a C-5 Galaxy. There are probably a dozen Secret Service drivers, if not more, trained to execute this exact maneuver in a split-second.
It's true. I actually saw video once of them doing it with a real secret service limo. A lot about the presidents car is classified but that part is apparently fairly open. I think they like showing off lol.
@@Elthenar It's not whether it's possible, but whether it actually is true here. It isn't, because it's a splice-together, so we don't get to see what the limo can actually do. It's teasey.
@@heddalee It's TV, every shot is normally composed of multiple cuts, often of different things. Some movies will often interject a cut from a reshoot that was done months later. Honestly, I don't care. On a side note, I went looking for that clip of the Beast doing a handbrake 180. Instead I found a documentary that went into a lot more detail than I thought was available. The limo is actually build on a heavy truck frame to carry the weight and the armor is 8 inches thick. That thing might well be tougher than a Bradley APC
I thought it was George Washington (hospital) the closets to WhiteHouse and Blue is medical emergency. When the guy says they're going to memorial - Sibley Memorial Hospital
@@abzzeus yeah, seems like Memorial is the destination where they're transporting out the nonessential patients to secure the place. So I agree that GW probably means the hospital - and they'd probably say GSW for the injury anyway.
