That kinda bugs me. I've pulled more than my fair share of people from wrecks. The cars I've come to care less and less about. The parts are cheap compared to the loved ones we lose.

**** the parts. Would you actually take parts from a car that killed a kid. No thanks
I was trying to be a little more eloquent but you stated my mindset exactly.
no need to be eloquent. Most of SVTP does not understand eloquent. which is why I am NEVER eloquent.
maybe you should actually read some of the articles posted. it is entirely possible and he did not survive unscathed, he was ****ed up pretty bad and his GF is still in the hospital.
he spread debris over 300 YARDS man, that is 3 football fields. it was not a sub 100mph crash
From looking at the info and some of the images, there are several factors involved.
1. They were newer vehicles with crumple zones and decent energy absorbing structures.
2. The CRV took A LOT of the energy and displaced it, while one passenger died one still survived and wasn't listed as still hospitalized so I can only assume the grandmother faired the best out of all involved.
3. The car kept on going for a while so thats where a lot of energy went so it didn't get tranfered to the occupants in a sudden stop.
4. Debris spread over 300 yards. Oh yes its conceivable it was a 100+mph crash.
guy that faired the best was the idiot driver. he was out of the hospital and out on bail while his GF and the Grandmother were still in the Hospital. the grandmother was still in critical condition, while he was sitting comforably at home being nursed by his mommy.
100+ is a big difference from 140+. I guess its possible just seems like it would be near impossible to survive something like that.
This is true. I've seen someone ejected from a car at 120+ without A SCRATCH! I've watched an EMT pronounce someone DOA in a 40MPH wreck when wearing a seatbelt. Its all in the variables. Between being an EMT and working in a body shop it all proved to me that there are a ton of factors to consider and while it may look clear, cut and dry it rarely ever is.
the Cops that investigated have a LOT of experience in estimating vehicle speed at the time of impact. their estimation according to the article was somewhere between 140 and 154 mph. people have survived worse.
I think you guys are spelling elephant wrong.:??:
I know I'm fat. You don't have to emphasize it.
Forensic investigators with advanced degrees in physics and vehicle dynamics and decades of on-scene experience made that estimation from patterns and measurements taken at the scene of the incident.
But we'll just take your word on it, you're probably right. Take a mustang headlight and try and throw it 300 yards. Let me know how fast it has to be going to get that far.
Guy looks older than 37...
I thought this was a pic of the guy driving the Caddy
