F1 Perished Heroes

An interesting and moving tribute to fallen F1 drivers. Highly recommended to any fan of motorsport.

 

[Utey]

absolutely devastating.

 

[Tom Shines]

Very good but very moving.
I remember the Imola weekend well... Looking at where Ratzberger crashed, that area was extremely dangerous.

 

[nöyd]

Wow

Unbelievable footage, very sad.

 

[Sharkie™]

:shock: horrible way to go.

 

[waltzing Meninga]

How about that official who was hit crossing the track! :shock:

Worst collision ive ever seen.

 

[Lego_Man]

Yeah that was disgusting, his body was just obliterated. And the driver (Tom Pryce) got hit in the head with the fire extinguisher he was carrying...killed instantly as well. Apparently they were never able to directly identify the body of the marshal, it was in too many pieces.

 

[axie]

The marshal, Jansen Van Vuuren, was identified by a head count of the marshals shortly afterwards. He was dismembered and his body split in two, very unfortunate for all involved.

 

[Ghoulies]

Oh God!

That's unbelievably tragic.

 

[PanthersChik]

As much as I love motorsport, it is one of the most dangerous sports in the world.

that was very sad...........!!!!

As much as I'd like to think this was a touching tribute, the close ups of drivers and morbid scenes are tacky in the extreme and totally unnecessary.

I disagree, if anything it takes the romantacised idea of dying in a racing accident right away. Watching that video, all I could think of was how much I wish I could take it with me back to April 29th, 1994 so Ayrton could watch it.....
