Why don't you try to sit in that burning car for just 45 seconds and tell us if $395,000 is worth your pay day.

Definatly insensitive if you think for a minute that someone would HONESTLY consider burning themselves for any amount of money... The comment, while crude, was an attempt at bringing a lightened perspective to a video clip that dosen't need to be posted in the first place. If you yourself were offended by a comment having to do with that video clip,.. then what do you have to gain by watching it?
I apoligize if my comment offended anyone, It wasn't posted to poke humor at the unfortunate driver, rather the fact that we are all sitting comfortably at our computer desks watching his tragic situation. I thought that would be implied, however if you are inclined to take a comment at its face value than so be it.
Furthermore, A post of a video titled "burnbabyburn" dosent seem too sensitive to the drivers' conditions either, however, being of sound judgement... I know that if you, yourself were at the track, you wouldn't be in the stands screaming "Burn baby, Burn!", just as I wouldn't be trying to figure if the time spent in the blaze would be worth the settlement he would recieve for his injuries.

I posted the second video since someone mentioned there's a second part to the crash and Kevin was asking about it. However, I did not choose/select those inappropriate words for the video title. It was an old video clip. I've seen it on another host site under a different title but was not able to find it.

That is by FAR the most appalling video I have EVER seen..... If any of you have ever been in a crash situation on the race track - you will be SICK to your stomach.
Please edit your post to warn others of the nature of this video.

I recall this showing up about 10 years ago on the boards. I was shocked that anyone walked away from either car.
As far as the worse. Oh no...There was a Ferrari F50 crash shown on the boards about the same time. It was so horrible I thought it was fake. I will not resite the scene but to this day still turns my stomach. That poor guy did not make it.

He was most significantly burned around his neck, head and sections of his arms. I saw a picture of him after numerous plastic surgery's. Hair piece, nose, lip and ear grafts, worse than Nikki Lauda by far. I assume he was baked inside his helmut. You can see the lexan shield is burnt away in the video. Also had respiratory issued associated with inhaled fumes. His will to live inside that car after its impact is amazing.
