That dude really got airborne for some distance, like rally car distance.

The last thing that went through his mind was probably a concrete pillar, but I'd like to think that he knew he pulled off a big fucking jump, even if he didn't mean to.

Cars do not blow up from collisions my man.

Life isn't movie, and gas is extraordinarily stable, as well as protected in vehicles.  Not saying that would be impossible, but pretty unlikely.  There is more to this story.  

Yes they do when something (in my case a large dodge running a red light) hits so hard it obliterates the gas tank.

In my defense, I couldn't have imagined anyone going 100 mph in the air and crashing undercarriage first on a concrete barrier.  I'm guessing the good folks at Bentley engineering didn't forsee this as a possibility either.  

At this point you have to wonder if they guy had a heart attack or some other medical event.

That awkward moment when you realize it’s like the 9th KISS “Farewell Tour” but you’re still gunning it to make it before the opening ballad and accidentally burn your wife to death just to be accused of being MS-13.  Also, bad taste on the part of the band’s pyrotechnic team

Not a terrorist attack, just a couple of guys making their way the only way they know how.

Just a good old boys
Never meanin' no harm
Beats all you never saw
Been in trouble with the law since the day they was born
Straightening the curves, yeah
Flattenin' the hills
Someday the mountain might get 'em, but the law never will
Makin' their way the only way they know how
That's just a little bit more than the law will allow

I thought there encore cover of “This Girl is on Fire” was really well done and done with the right tone of respect.  
 

some folks I know are genuinely bummed out this morning that this wasn’t part of a larger terrorist attack Meant to kill children on Thanksgiving.  Thoughts, prayers, and New York Grooves to you all.

Two things that hit close to home:

1. The first brand new car my dad ever bought was a 1978 Pinto 3-door wagon. It ran like a top with zero issues and he got rid of it in 1986. This anti-Pinto aggression will not stand, man.

2. I saw KISS in 1996, original line-up, the Alive II stage set, only played songs from 1972-1979. It was bad ass and I too would drive 100 MPH through a checkpoint to relive those memories.

Prayers for you.

Our '67 Oldsmobile Delta 88 (4 door tank) was rear ended by a Ford Mustang going 100+ MPH (estimated 80 MPH differential between the cars).

The read end of our car was folded upright to a vertical position, with the ruptured gas tank fully exposed.

The gas tank "exploded" on impact, though the impact from the expanding fire was secondary compared to the violent collision between the vehicles. 

The darkest of days ...

I apologize for all the jokes in bad taste about this unfortunate tragedy that befell my childhood friend.  He really did drive a Bentley around with his hot girlfriend from a totally different high school in Canada who he met on Spring Break at Niagara Falls.  Godspeed PJ.

A couple of my friends from Chicago tried to play a small gig in Canada, lied about it at the border (I think you needed work permits) resulting in them being banned from a fairly sizeable chunk of the planet known afterwards as Banada.

Did they play both kinds of music - country and western?

How the shit could you not tell if there are two burned bodies in the car or one?

100+ mph collision with a concrete wall + an extremely hot fuel-fed fire can kinda make it difficult to make sense of things after the fact ...

That’s some high quality lulz - except for the fact that they are real people.

With that kind of collision, she probably wasn't (or hopefully wasn't) unlucky enough to live that long.
