Has anyone seen this before. Pretty hard to take your eyes off! Thoughts?
-
I had heard about this before but I think this is the first time I have seen the video. The crazy thing is they only threw a local yellow and the race continued on. If some more people had been there trying to turn over the car or they had had more than one fire extinguisher, he might have lived.
-
Yeah in the full version (which I couldn't find) it takes 8 minutes for a safety car to arrive and throw a blanket over the car so the race can continue. Kevin Purley could hear Roger Williamson, his friend, shouting "get me out of here" from inside the car. Literally the most disturbing thing I have ever seen.
-
Very harrowing.
I seen a 16year old getting crushed by a bus before. I heard her squealing that she didn't want to die.
At least they guy tried his best to save his friend. I think a photo of Purley looking distraught won the 1973 world press photo award.
-
Sh!t you actually saw the bus crush a 16 year old in real life?! That's fucked! Yeah you're right about the press photo award. Purley got the St George medal for bravery too. But to me the award seems like a bit of a glossing over the fact that lots more people should have acted the same way. The crowd were held back by guards, but boy those marshalls not wearing fire-protective clothing do look unavoidably pathetic just standing there as if they don't care.
-
Yea she was stuck under it for around 10-20minutes. Happened in Belfast almost a year ago. Seriously fucked up
Yea looks poorly organised and noone seems trained. It looks horrible when so much could have been done but in reality nothing was.
-
If I remember correctly, the Williamson crash was said to "have everything that can go wrong, go wrong." The crash, the announcers ended up pulling out the PA system wires delaying the Emergency authorities being notified....just everything went wrong.
Horrible crash, and that is no way to see a friend pass on. :-X (if there was any good way) :'(
-
Bump for seriously traumatising.
-
he wont recover
-
I've read this speculation that they most likely thought it was the friend's own car, which would of course be empty, that he tried to turn over, so they didn't hurry.
-
Very, Very Sad :(
-
there was a race that Niki Lauda won in which an English driver (Pryce?) ran over a teenage marshal killing him... the marshal was carrying a fire extinguisher which would up almost decapitating Pryce

this is crazy they should have stopped the race. what was in the fire extinquishers gasoline. it seemed like the fire got worse after they sprayed the wreckage. very sad indeed.
-
This is typical dutch, no heart, no guts.
-
Europeans are essentially lazy and disorganized...especiall y back in those days. Would never happen in America.
-
geez, just watched it again, worst fire extinguisher ever. Doesnt even dampen the flame one bit..fucking sad. Stupid dutch probably using some cheap ass kitchen fire extinguisher they use to put out burning strudel.

Nascar was worse back then. Now, Formula 1 is the leader in safety regs and regulations thanks to the FIA governing body.

I don't know about that. Felipe Massa was nearly killed by that spring that come of Barichello's car earlier in the year. I would say that Nascar is safer now that they have the new car. However, I would definitely say that Indycar is the most dangerous...going 220+ on an oval in an open wheel car is going to be dangerous no matter what safety features the car has.

Check this one out....he was very lucky!

Nascar markets their crashes, it's in almost every commerical, and there is like a serious crash ever race, if nor more, I don't know about their breaks, but I know they use a adequated fueling sytem in the pits...everything in Nascar seems ro be geared toward Entertainment 1st, car, driver-2nd. I mean they made a. If fuss over the new car. There wasn't much fuss over the Kers system in F1, or went from turbo engines to naturally aspirated. Only whinning came when Ferrari and others threaten to leave.
Open wheel racing is dangerous, because of the high speeds and the lack of physically "whole" car.

Yeah in the US they would already have shot each other for no reason ;D
That crash posted by Signifying Monkey is nuts. Apparently the fire extinguisher the marshal was carrying before being hit and killed partially decapitated the driver when it hit his head, forcing his neck against his seat belt. The extinguisher flew over the barryer into the car park!
