Look at how close he was to killing 3 kids. That'd be a long time in prison for vehicular manslaughter. Wonder of this is what Swift drivers do when not in their semi?
Photos provided by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency showed at least three 'Vettes with heavy damage, two of which were hanging from the rear of the car carrier.
Number 4, Dunlop, has space all around him, and 22 (David Lemon) hits him hard on the elbow from behind. You can see there is plenty of room to HIS right side for 22 to pass without contacting him, even in the following snap shots
here you see his arm being straightened out
causing him to crash, and nearly killing him.
Was there a hit on him? Taking out the most likely winner is the easiest way to win.
Think I'm nuts? Tonya Harding had Nancy Kerrigan kneecapped. That's only 1 simple and clear example of a loser taking out a winner. Then in 2008 his engine seized and killed him. Now, for someone that had been racing and working on his own engines for 30 some years, what is the likelyhood that his engine would not be built right, and ready to race at it's best, vs, what's the chances that the same people who (in my theory) had a price on his head got someone to make a carb adjustment so it ran lean, overheated, and seized?
The Mirror (London, England) Date: May 18, 1998 Dunlop was leading the 125 class on all three occasions when it was halted. He came to grief at University Corner where David Lemon collided with him. Robert could be out of action from four to six weeks.
Last year in his TT comeback following a smash in 1994 he was third in the 125 class. On Saturday he was returning to the North West for the first time in four years.
get the full race up to that point, in the next video, the crash is at the 5:20, and you'll see that the whole field knew Robert Dunlop was going to win it, by this point in the 1st two starts he was in 1st place, just like this 3rd start of the race.
2 weeks later he won his class (ultra lightweight) at the Isle of Man TT, despite this crash, and the many crashes and wrecks before that which nearly killed him
I'm convinced Lemon targeted him, you judge for yourself. Why am I making an issue of this 19 year old race? Well, wouldn't you call this, if you saw it, regardless of how long it's been? Why not? If you suddenly learned who Jack the Ripper was, wouldn't you say so?
Hats off to Robert, he survived a brutal lot of crashes, and a rim that tore itself apart and nearly wiped him out. He didn't quit. He came back, and effing won.
Then in 2008 his engine seized at 170 mph. He died. Was his engine tampered with to run lean? Or to run out of oil? It was a very smokey start to the race for his exhaust. And in 1994, he rear rim broke from the hub. I seriously doubt he used anything but the best rims, and for one to fail is rare
at the 31 second mark
Maybe I'm suspicious for no reason, and all 3 infinitely impossibly unlikely fatal things were circumstantial. Yeah, right. And the Kennedys were not jinxed.
this Christie front end is from my visit to the Hall of Flame Museum in Phoenix, the Front Drive Motor Company made everything that wasn't fighting a fire on this ladder truck. I look at it and am amazed that one company was making the power and steering section, and companies like Ahrens Fox were making the fire fighting part
New Jersey State Police are still trying to figure out how and why a 50-pound dumbbell crashed through the windshield of an SUV on the New Jersey Turnpike Monday morning.
An Olympia motorcyclist who rode on top of a car’s trunk after a freeway crash in Tumwater has shared helmet camera footage that shows a first-person view of his brush with death.
The crash occurred about 2:45 p.m. Jan. 16 on Interstate 5. Seth Dieckman, 35, had just merged onto the freeway at Trosper Road aboard his Suzuki Katana 600. The video shows an Acura zooming up from behind and passing by dangerously close.
Dieckman gave the Acura driver the middle finger and attempted to catch up. The car suddenly slammed on its brakes. The impact sent Dieckman flying off the motorcycle and onto the car’s trunk.
The Acura then took off down the freeway for about a quarter of a mile. The driver didn’t stop until he heard Dieckman pounding on the window, according to an accident report, which noted that both drivers had been traveling at a high speed.
“I grabbed ahold of that spoiler and held on for dear life,” Dieckman said. “The adrenaline was pumping so hard.”
The driver of the Acura, Auburn resident Jason A. Thomas, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of DUI and for driving with a suspended license.
Just after the 2 minute 40 second mark, Anderson tried a backflip but there wasn't enough rotation, and it landed on the lid, hard.
Anderson, 56, is one of the most successful monster truck drivers in history, having competed in Monster Jam since 1982. The Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina native has four World Finals titles, three in the racing category and one in freestyle.
During last weekend's show in Tampa, Florida, he attempted a backflip that went awry with the truck landing upside down. Anderson was helped from the wreckage by paramedics before being transported to a local hospital for further evaluation
Just in case they are wondering, yes, I sure will drive it for the Grave Digger crew until Dennis is well enough. I got it, don't worry. I'm expendable, and will go to the outer limits to put on a great long show for the fans.
a 94-year-old man whose BMW was parked in front inadvertently backed over a 1979 Moto Guzzi SP1000 belonging to Moto Coffee Machine owner Antony Katz and on to the hood of a Toyota. The BMW crushed the motorcycle and smashed the front of the Toyota before flipping on to its side.
“The poor guy driving,” Katz continued, “it was his first accident ever.”
Predictably, Katz is now in a negotiating battle with the BMW driver’s insurance company. NADA book value for the model in excellent condition is nearly $6,000, and that’s what the underwriter is offering. The stumbling block is that Katz has put $9,000 in parts into the bike and 350 hours of labor. It terms of sentimental value, the SP1000 is priceless.
“It had been sitting in a barn for 10 years,” he said of obtaining the bike. “It had been outside for three hours (when the accident happened). I was just about to bring it in to change the tires.”
