RIP Paul Walker - killed in a CGT's passenger seat

[Perfectlap]

I really hope they release that autopsy for independet review. The fact that the wheels were still attached, (I thought the rear half of the car had broken off) and "the tub" kept the occupants in the car, both were wearing belts and still strapped in, sounds like the impact was severe but not really like a 150+mph top speed collision at race track. Something really doesn't add up in this whole tragedy. An experienced driver, presumably familiar with the location, on a street that wasn't exactly straight, that led into a sharp turn? Something was wrong with that car beyond its inherent nervousness.

Short of either of the decesased sitting exactly where the light pole/tree ripped through the front of the car, this seems like an accident where injuries would be severe but not necessarily fatal. Seeing as how the corpses are at the point of needing dental record recognition I'm curious to hear an independent expert say how the they can claim that the impact itself would have been fatal. There's no debating a fire is always lethal however.

This all makes me think of the Roger Williamson F1 fatality in the early 70's. Those racing cars were not designed to distribute energy sustained by a driver at impact like this CGT and so many modern carbon fiber racing cars today. Williamson crashed heavily at Zandvoort on the high speed esses, was tossed around and around but was conscious and begging for help according to another driver David Purley who ran over, but the fuel tank exploded and engulfed the car in a huge fireball.

p.s.
I can't believe the level of hate in some of thoe article comments. They are swearing up and down with total certainty that this was nothing but 100% driver error. Before release of any of the facts for independent review.
I guess these are the times we live in.
