Nov 18, 2008 - I didn't notice he flew out of his car... this is horrifying... It's a good thing we won't be able to see that again in modern F1.

Nov 18, 2008 - To feel better watch the video of zandvoort where he messes up his ferrari because he is to lazy to walk back to the pits. Or watch his famous battle against Arnoux .

Nov 18, 2008 - Hmm, not sure the BBC would show something like this on TV these days.
DannyBoy777 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - jack... yes... yes it does.
ksam4000 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - the only reason I think they would've showed this was because he hadn't died yet. The newscaster actually gives the impression they were cautiously optimistic. So sad.

Nov 18, 2008 - Credit goes out to the teams for increasing the safety in F1. There have been some horrific crashes in past seasons - Kubica in Canada and Glock in Australia come to mind. We're lucky that we haven't had to endure watching somethng so sad happen to such great sport.

Nov 18, 2008 - notice the fact she is talking in past tense towards the end as if he is already dead althouhg uncertain we knew that he was unlikely to live but still talking without anyhope
THEKINKS08 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - la morte purtroppo avveni'a causa della grave lesione del tronco encefalico e della rottura e distacco delle vertebre cervicali, con fuoriuscita del midollo osseo. i medici dissero che anche se fosse riuscito a sopravvivere sarebbe rimasto paralizzato dal collo in giu'. la ferrari in quel punto viaggiava a 260 km all'ora e lui venne catapultato fuori dall'abitacolo con il sedile e le cinture di sicurezza divelte dalla violenza dell'impatto.
THEKINKS08 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - avvenne, mi scuso
