Default Our brother needs support and help.

Please help us support our brother who miraculously made it. If this doesn't make one a believer in God, not sure what would.

Any interesting reading material would be a big help.

WOW!!! Can't believe someone made it through that alive. So how many freight trains did you **** off?? Good luck with your recovery. You must be the Terminator to come out of that one.

Yeah, I saw Richard on Thanksgiving weekend at the Napa tech session/ BBQ. Yes, a complete bonifide miracle that he survived that.

It was a real juxtaposition to see such a young guy (20's) hobbling around in a geriatric walker. . . Let's face it: A. Senna was a good driver (RIP). Driving is a dangerous activity - it just is.

WOW! - I am at a loss for words!

Not sure I have ever seen anything worse that someone came away from alive, let alone able to walk. Simply amazing!

When he is ready, I have a nice replacement.

My thoughts of encouragement go out to him.

From what I've read, he's looking for a replacement already. Probably would enjoy hearing about what you have in mind.

That is a horrible mess of metal and it is amazing that anyone was able to survive that. God is a big God and can do amazing things.

I looked for a small scale model 968 I had, but could not find it. If I come across it, I'll send it to him.

If there is anything specific that he needs, let me know and I'll be glad to help out. Our son suffered from a Brain Injury when he was 12 from an ATV accident. After a long recovery he is doing well at 20 years old now. He still has several deficits, short term memory, executive functions, logical thinking and understanding figurative speech.

I was shocked when I first saw those pictures. To think someone survived is a testement to how will these cars were designed and built.

I have seen horible crash pictures of 944 series cars with lots of people saying they walked away.

Great engineering for a car series the pretty much went unchanged (platform wise) since its inception in the early 70's.

Well, galva didn't walk away... but he survived and can walk again (with a walker). I don't think anyone anywhere could get out of a crash like that and just dust their shoulders. But as stated, even survival was an act of God.
