Then why do we have a thread about people who die? Supposedly they are famous for one reason or another. I don't know who 2/3rds of them were.
Tiger Woods at one time had the highest gross income of any athlete. We talk on and on about how many millions are paid to 50 guys playing shortstop and no one except a real dedicated fan of baseball could name 10 of them.
Why talk about Dale Earnhardt's plane crash that he and his family walked away from?
Because it is interesting to many that anything can happen to the rich and famous that can happen to us at any time,
BTW, that section of Hawthorne Blvd has a rep for being a dangerous road with many big time crashes affecting all kinds of normal folks, not necessarily racers or speeders. It's a steep incline and going downhill speeds pick up easily if you don't use and moderate your brakes.
A little bit of inattention and you're in deep siht.
If no one said it so far, TW was on his way to another golf course near where he was staying. Well, 20 minutes near, but if you knew those roads it was a short hop as the crow flies. They were going to do a shoot for some on the order of Sport Illustrated, but I have no information on who was actually producing the shoot.
