Watched it - well done program but very sobering.
Lot's of controversy about Mike Hawthorne and I didn't realize of his kidney ailment of which he knew himself of a shortened life expectancy. Not that he died from any of this, but a few years after in a seperate incident involving a Mercedes.
Weird to this day, total fatalities are not known and the French police keeping records locked and sealed.
The race organizers decided to continue the race because they didn't want 300,000 spectators jamming the roads and possible blocking of ambulances.... amazing.
Nothing to that magnitude but forward to that 1998 CART - Michigan 500, Adrian Fernandez hit the wall and a wheel with debris flew into the crowd at the fourth turn grandstand... 3 killed and the race continued. The late Greg Moore won that race.
