1237987 2011-10-17 05:31:00 Yeah - I thought youse guys'd get it there too. I was watching the race (TV) when it happened. SurferJoe46 (51)
1237988 2011-10-17 05:37:00 Not to be picky, but this was an Indy car race at las Vegas.

That is not the same as the Indy 500, which takes place at the Indianapolis brickyard.

Different race, and I may be wrong on this, but I think maybe a different class of cars as well.

Sad sad day either way, safety in these cars is extraordinarily good.

1237989 2011-10-17 05:39:00 Sorry - I C/P'd the headline and just carried the mistake on from there. You are right.

But these were Indy cars - from part of the article:::

1237990 2011-10-17 06:26:00 Meh, How many people I don't know have died in the last 24 hours?

The only difference is this one done it in front of a crowd.

1237991 2011-10-17 09:26:00 Just saw it on the late news here. It was horrific. Very little chance of stopping at the speeds that they would be going at. Bobh (5192)

1237993 2011-10-17 11:15:00 yeah, but you dont have to be a dick about it

Like the media who has whored out the footage of a man getting killed at every opportunity?

This planet is crazy.

Lets televise the carnage on our roads...woot woot. Feeding frenzy for the masses.

Instant ratings hit.

Glory Glory, hallelujah


Wait, My mistake, without a name to attach to the death there is no ratings value, So the media won't care, and the people never get to hear about it.
