read all about this earlier and has been on my mind for the past few hours. This is real shame. I dont go on BMW sites just VW and Audi but made you kinda feel like you knew the guy.

The guy must have thought the runway was longer and could maybe not see the end since it was a drop off.
I just hope I dont have to read about things like this on one of the forums I go on often cos yould be a real shame to lose a member in this way.

Unbelievable and so tragic. They must have been touching 190mph at the end of the runway before they realised it dropped away like that.

The parents must be going through hell. Not just losing their kid but coming to terms with their part in the responsibility for their loss.

just read more into the post there was a reply in later pages that really was strange, makes satan look like a jessie
quote from m-5-ranger
What I 'm going to say people do not want to hear.
First of all this was totally stupid. A total ignoramance move by the driver initially fpllowed by the others who did not demand it stop.
Second an 18 yr old has no business having a 500 hp car.
About the loss of young lives weel I have a very different perspective on that as a Vietnam vet. young people dying who were serving their country.
This was nothing but STUPID people doing STUPID things. I do not feel for them. To many valuable young men/women die for this country, for a cause who get no recognition and are heros.
The scar I carry in my soul for what I had to do for this country in service as an honorable soldier when I was a young man is no comparison for these stupid of priveleged young people.
I am sorry for the family because they have to suffer their childrens stupidity. They in no way qualify in the category of those who died for an honorable cause in service of their country!!!!!!
I can not be more ademant about this. Talk to me when you've had an 18 yr. old die in your arms from a bullet wound thru his brain or when another 18 yr. old bleeds to death in your arms and you've got more of his blood on you than your own.
I apologize sincerely but I have no room for forgiveness with stupidity.
I 've been in hell and no one can tell me any stories.
Blimey

I
am a jessie! And a big girls blouse. And a fanny.
Also, given m-5-ranger's experiences then I can sorta see where he's coming from.
Right, I'm off to play with the fairies ...

I'm sort of with the guy quoted in kies4 posting above. OK it's tragic but surely isn't it also totally stupid too. I'm sorry but the driver and whoever egged him on qualify for a Darwin Award - with Merit.
Who do I feel sorry for?, the Emergency Services that had the task of scooping this lot up and pressure washing the tree.

Yes, that is fair comment at the end of the day.
