0:00.0 | My name is Andrew Bustamante, and this is everyday espionage. |
0:07.0 | Freedom! Freedom! Freedom Freedom In 2019, I took my family for a long-term contract into the United Arab Emirates, a country also known as the UAE. |
0:41.3 | Now, we lived in Abu Dhabi, and I worked all over the country. It was an awesome experience and the kids loved learning Arabic and my wife loved living there and working alongside me. |
0:47.3 | But there was this interesting experience that happened that I wanted to share today. |
0:51.3 | I was involved in a high-speed rear-end collision on one of the highways out there in |
0:58.2 | Abu Dhabi. Now, these are some of the fastest highways in the world for a number of different reasons, |
1:02.4 | and I was able to survive the high-speed collision. Now, if you want to know how the collision happened, |
1:07.8 | or how I survived it, or what spy skills I used to pull my car through |

1:47.2 | monitor terrorist threats, monitor foreigners who come and go because places like Dubai and |
1:53.0 | places like Abu Dhabi are heavily transited around the world. So when a high-speed collision |
1:58.6 | happens, when any kind of roadway accident happens, it's very important that you immediately report everything to the police because if they find out about it through one of their surveillance cameras or systems, it's a bad day. |
2:09.0 | So one of the first things I did is I reported the accident and I ended up going to a local police station to give all the details because I had to file an insurance claim and do all the same |
2:17.9 | things that we do in the United States or in Canada or throughout Europe. It's a first world country. |
2:23.0 | But what I found happened was when I went to go report the incident, it was a high speed hit |
