Horrific 911 Crash in NJ
Densely populated residential area.
I’d say someone used very poor judgment……

That the two occupants of that vehicle were able to survive that crash speaks volumes to Porsche engineering.
The impact damage seems to stop short of the passenger compartment. The amount of energy absorbed has to have been very significant.
Two very lucky people, hitting poles and trees are bad news, they don't give as they aren't "designed" to crumple or break off.

The fuel tank is well behind the front axle line, is buried low and is protected by all of the front crush structure. There’s only one safer place for it: the passenger compartment. Would that placement make you less nervous?
Obviously it ruptured from the impact, but it would be interesting to know how soon thereafter the car caught fire.
This accident is pretty-much the worst case on-road crash example. Remember that crash testing is done against a wall not a pole.
What I wonder is: in which generation of 911s would occupants have walked away from this accident?
991: check.
911 (original): NFW
964: doubt it
993: ?
996: ?
997: ?
