Well watching the video of the "crash" Im not so sure it was a crash. Looks to me he just drove into the water. On purpose? just had his head up his bum who knows but never looked out of controll, not driving crazy speeds or doing eratic things like cutting in and out of traffic. He hit the water hard though, maybe not on purpose as it was fast enough to cause great to risk to life and limb...I bet he wet his pants before he got his pants wet...

Just crazy.

Looks fishy (pun intended) to me. Slight veer to the right and in the drink he went. And someone just happened to be taping the accident. You are right though. No brakes from the way the vid looks.

I smell insurance fraud. No pelican, survivable "crash", left engine running for 15 minutes until it died on its own to properly corrode all the expensive bits.

He was distracting by the low-flying BALLOON BOY. Parallels of self-publicity?

As may have been mentioned here: the Veyron owner who put it in the brink also owns an exotic salvage repair company, which owns the Eddie Griffin Enzo wreck, which was suspicious, & was filmed for your 'enjoyment'

Then ... (Not as concerned as most would be?
Smoothly self-promotes his 'Undercover Brother' movie, though. Coached? )




... and now ... (wouldja believe it's for sale? )

Default If Pelican Boy drove a VW, he wouldn't be in hot water today
