| 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. Billy |

| 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::: ibid: "......said Danica Patrick, making her final IndyCar start...." |

| 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. |
