You guys have piqued my morbid curiousity about page 14, but so far I've managed to resist. It's the kind of thing that you go look at and then think, "why'd I go look?"

It will haunt you for about a day......and make you think on your next drive.
Pretty much looks unreal, kind of a Hollywood-it-can't-be-real look.....except there are many pictures with numerous people together. Families. Friends. Steel yourself and take a look. Think of what you see in a positive light, ie next time you go ripping around on public streets doing something you ought to reserve for the track.... I dare you.

Nope, not gonna happen. Real life is much different than what they show in the movies.

Of course it is. But they look...unreal in some ways.
Educate yourself. Take a look. You'll think things in a different way, just be ready.

I've been to rotten.com in the past, and seen some pretty crazy pics including the guy that wiped out on the sport bike going 180 (according to the story that's always sent with the pics in email). When I was in college a guy down the hall from me in the dorms had been part of an emt team or something like that. He had a couple of polaroids of some crazy stuff. The one that stands out in my mind was from a guy that was thrown from his car. The think that on the way out of the car his head hit the window frame. It peeled the top of his scalp and skull back like opening a can. The guy had a shot of the inside of this guys skull, it was empty, and he had a couple of shots of the gray matter where it had flown out of the skull, landed in the road and slid 10 feet. There was a gray skid mark with a lump at one end.

From the police report, speed was 250 KPH+. The car went off the road, hit a swale, went airborne, hit the second swale where the engine and fuel tank were damaged, flew into the trees, stopped and exploded. The model was out of the car because the seat broke and the door flew off. It appears they were dead or unconscious before the fire. There's a video of a newscast that appears to mention alcohol but your guess is as good as mine ....
