Prank Car Removed from Squamish Rock Face

0:00A hollowed-out Volkswagen Beetle dangling from cables on a squamish rock face called the Papuce is finally down, B.C. Parks confirmed they removed the car Wednesday afternoon after it showed up last week as a prank. A group claiming to speak for University of British Columbia engineering students in alumni took credit, tying it to their long history of wild, stunts on campus and beyond. Climbers called it a straight-up hazard, officials slammed the public safety risk, and the squamish nation labelled it disrespectful on their sacred, land, urging more respect moving forward. RCMP is investigating, but contractors got the car to the top of the cliff first. Now it's set for helicopter drop, Thursday morning straight to the sea to sky gondola parking lot, with no highway closures needed. That wraps the cleanup on this bold prank on sideways, authorities drew a line, and the rock faces clear again for those who use it right. That's your update from Vancouver News today, powered by AI.
