I'm guessing audiworld is not setup for the amout of volume they received when these pictures went web-wide.

 

Most of the blood would be on the bodies or on the inside of the car on the side that impacted the tree. That area isn't shown in any of the pictures. Looks like an airbag draped on the passenger side seat in a couple of pictures.

The gas tank appears to be reasonably intact. There's no way of knowing how long after the actual crash the pictures were taken. If it happened the night before or something like that, any spilled gas would have evaporated or soaked into the ground. No telling how much gas was actually in the tank at the time of the crash either.

Either the windshield or rear window can be seen laying on the ground near the rear section of the car in six of the pictures. If the windows were open when it happened, most of the other glass would be in the doors. That glas that wasn't there could easily be broken into small fragments and scattered around the area.

The ground is disturbed and pushed up as can be seen in the second, sixth, seventh, ninth, tenth, and most easily in the twelveth pictures.

If it is a Photoshop fake, the person who did it even went to the extreme of putting the bark that was knocked off the trees on the ground in those areas. The same goes for the very recently broken off and still green tree branch knocked of due to the impact and laying there.

Is that the remains of a key in the ignition switch, or something else? Stolen car maybe?

 

I found the thread, the initial one was deleted. Here is a link inside the thread:

I found some of the pics around the thread, here they are:

 

wow . . . . . .

 

HP - Thanks for posting the pics.

That is truly sad - I dunno what else to say?.

 

I would definatly say that it is a stolen car, look at the key and the stereo

 

The key looks like the origanl flip-blade style Audi key.

 

Yeah... Stock key. With the fob ripped off...
And the stereo cover probably flew off along with everything else in the car!

 

I could not understand why the person who posted the photo's did not tell the story till I found out where he got it from, here is the original link:

Some other interesting stuff around there as well.

This one might explain why European trucks now have special skirts on the sides - so that cars or motorcyclists cannot get underneath the trailer and get rolled over.

Try implementing that idea in the US - I'm sure there would be all kinds of lobbyists putting the cost savings over the lives of potential accident victims. Unless, of course, it would be one of their loved ones...

 

Talk about tree huggers...

 

Oh, Nicole.....there you go again getting rational and sensible. Haven't you been warned about that?

 

Semi's have had protective skirts on the back of trailers for quite some time. I'm not sure about the side.

 

The skirts are for fuel efficiency.

 

How are you going to get under a semi anyways? It's more difficult than it looks. Maybe if you ran a stop light, or he ran a stop light?

To be honest I've worked around then all my life and I can't rember any times in which a car got under the trailer at speed. I do know of a few times where the truck actualy ran OVER a car, but that was the truck and trailer and everything. Not much you can do about that, cept maybe duck.

I do know of some really awsome piles up were the truck was completely undammaged, the pick up that hit it totaled, and everybody walked away.

Also roll overs, jack knifes, and people being stupid at stop lights, and getting where the truck needs to be to turn, and then getting run over by the trailer because they were in the drivers blind spot. Thus the "This truck make wide right turns" sign, and the extra turn signal on the frount of the trailer.
