    I've seen those crazy rally crashes........people just stand so damn close. I'm sure it's a rush to get close to the action, but things can and do go wrong. Still very sad.:pout:

    so, as those at the race know, i was a little closer to the crash and captured most of it on HD video... the news edited out the graphic parts at the very end... that part of the video will not be released...

    ironic though that even the mother and wife of the victims admits that we as spectators stand too close...

    like i told inside edition, we CHOOSE to stand that close... just need to realize where your "hot" zones are and stay away from the sections that a truck landing wrong could end up...
