Top Gear Richard Hammond crash footage
http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=830929109569151280
Here's the real deal. Front right tire blows at over 280MPH.

He looks and talks great and is lucky to be alive.
They get such a great live audience for that show... |

Yeah, that's bad. No doubt. But doesn't that happen in drag racing now and then? And at over 300 mph?

He's very lucky he didn't have any guard rails or other obstacles to collect along the way. I'm sure dirt at 230 mph is hard as hell hut nothing like wrapping it around a tree.

It was nice to see him sitting there and joking about it. That could have been really, really bad.

Yeah, and it's nice to see that he's still the same old Richard, too, personality and everything. I remember reading some of the articles after the crash that he was having memory problems and whatnot, which isn't surprising seeing the footage. Glad the show's still running - I read the BBC was going to cancel it if he didn't fully recover.
