pc832 Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] As tragic as these deaths are....Why are they hero's? (no sarcasm intended) |
Wrecktangle Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] They can be heroes for a number of reasons. They probably inspired kids to follow their dreams and become race car drivers themselves. |
Turkeybaster Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] The dangers when you dance with the devil. Sad. The one twards the beginning was really touching where the fellow driver got out and ran over, trying to tip the burning car over by himself while the other idiots just watched. Probably was too late anyway though |
Collision Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] 3:40 was the worst one :/ |
Dobbo Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] NO need for that droning fooking record in the back though... |
TomasUli Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] heroes?.... come on |

matango Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] I really dont understand why they would be 'heroes'. As sad as it is to see someone die, they died whilst pursuing a totally unnecessary activity, for money.
These kind of compilations have a rather dodgy voyeuristic aspect - and they end up being more grotesque than celebratory. The ultra soppy ballad in the background would make any film unwatchable, anyway. |
prowler_1 Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] They are heroes to their fans, everyone can be a hero to someone. |
maurice Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] what was it.. shitty fire extinguishers or very flamable fuel? when jos verstappen caught fire in the 90s, they stopped it in a flash.. wth
kinda sad they started to bother about safety when senna died..
its amazing now though, i remember seeing trulli 2-3 years ago hit the wall at ~200 kmh; he made a few brutal rolls, even got airborne. when the car stopped it had 0 tyres/wings on it, yet he walked out of it like you walk out of a roller coaster. lol i almost had to pinch myself. |
bantexkaa Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] very touchy... I think I cried couple of tears.. even though I find F1 veeeery boring :P |

It was David Purley trying to save his teamate Roger Williams in the overturned cars. The marshalls did not help him because they thought that it was his Purley's car and had no idea that there was someone trapped inside. Terrible misunderstanding. Purley was awarded the George Medal for is bravery. The George Medal is the 2nd highest civil decoration of non-operational bravery.

The footage of Paletti's care being engulfed in flames at the start of the GP is a bit more dramatic then his death. His autopsy revealed that he died of a broken neck from the impact of being hit from behind.
...
Some people may think they are heroes for the simple fact that F1 safety has improved and lessons were learnt after each fatal crash. These fatalities would also have aided car safety development which would have been incorporated into every day cars that we all drive on the roads. So ultimately their deaths have helped many people world wide and probably saved a few lives.
Also just to point out, the footage at 3.40 shows Tom Pryce hitting a marshal trying to cross the track. Pryce died because the marshal's fire extinguisher hit him in the face at 160 mph. Very tragic. |

Running around a grass field for 90 minutes trying to kick a ball into a goal can be considered a totally unnecessary activity. And I'm sure more people have died watching the game then actually participating in it, and they paid to be there. Also, going to a football match wearing your teams colors can be considered, in essence, hero worship.
The title of "hero" isn't only reserved for those who save people's lives at the risk of their own. That's a common misconception. A person can be considered a hero for special achievement in a particular field, not just for feats of courage or nobility of purpose. |
goldenmonkey Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] Sad clip. Very touching. |
Jack Klompus Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] Thats gotta hurt. |
gato Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] 1. Of course they are NOT heroes. They live dangerous, but thats not the definition of hero.
2. why put this ugly music and not leave the original sound??? |
the_brumtown_mangler Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] pity that fucker richard "hamster" hammond survived his recent crash on TOP GEAR the video footage of it was funny as fuck, sliding along on his roll cage at 200+mph fastest ever crash according to the programme.
these guys are heroes because they eliminated their stupid DNA from the gene pool. if man was meant to travel at speed like that he woulda been born with a jet-pack stuffed up his asshole. |
ICE420 Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] Damn, that was tough to watch, The reason they are heroes is because in life they entertained and thrilled millions od F1 fan´s and in death they have made F1 racing a lot safer sport, still a very dangerous sport but a lot safer because of these HEROES.
RIP, each and everyone of them. |

Wow what an idiot, first off saying it was a pity that a husband and father of 2 ,lived just goes to show what a braindead scumbag yoú are. So i suggest that you look at your own gene pool and i´d be very careful that your lone brain cell don´t die of loneliness. |

I remember this. The pilot burning to death was a good friend of the pilot who tried to save him. The reason why the others didn´t help him, they didn´t wear high tempereature suites as the pilot did. They couldn´t stand the temperature of nearby 800°C for more then a second. Besides, the helping pilot had gotten some serious injuries.
The reason why the other pilots didn´t help: They all assumed the helping pilot was the pilot who made it just out of the burning car. |

teknoboy421 Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] Heroes is an overused term, and we are a culture based on hero worship.
These men were brave, I give you that but the heroes you see in these clips are the ones racing into the flames with no regard for personal safety to try and help someone they have probably never met before.
I've been an F1 fan my whole life, and I will continue to be one for many years to come. These guys dance on a knife edge, gambling their very existence to try and beat a clock for an extra hundredth of a second.
Pointless to some, everything to them.
If only we could all be so dedicated to a cause.
Race on boys. |

be objective for fucks sake, if this is an unnecessary activity then you could say every sport is.
i guess heroism requires bravery AND accomplishment, and the latter is where "dangerous sport heroes" can be dubious to some.. including me.. even though im a huge F1 fan. everybody has his standards i guess.
actually they're kinda like american soldiers in iraq.. they're brave no doubt.. but they sure are doing something pointless in the eyes of a lot of people |
brownbearclan Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 12 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] I'm just amazed at how unprepared they used to be for these kinds of accidents. I would agree that these probably helped advance the safety that F1 has nowadays, but again a little preparation goes a long way.
Great dedication clip all in all but that music in the background got old real fast. Maybe make a second version and mix it up a bit with different touching tracks for the different situations? |

Paletti wasn't hit from behind. In fact, Paletti, who was at the back of the starting grid, plowed into the rear of a stalled Ferrari piloted by Didier Pironi at over 100 miles per hour. Paletti didn't die from neck injuries, but succumbed to massive chest injuries as his torso was driven violently forward into the steering wheel upon impacting the Ferrari.
In the old days, drivers often died or were injured severely in fires due to the inhalation of burning fiber glass and not always from the fire itself. Case in point are the crashes of Lorenzo Bandini, Elio Deangelis and Niki Lauda, et al. |

The title of "hero" isn't only reserved for those who save people's lives at the risk of their own. That's a common misconception. A person can be considered a hero for special achievement in a particular field, not just for feats of courage or nobility of purpose.

Well, anyone can be considered anything, but surely that does not automatically make you that thing... |

hah, nowadays, for some reason, it seems like talking about gene pools and DNA is the default thing to do in internet forums when you have nothing intelligent to say. in hahahahahahahahahaha's forums, for example, its everywhere
btw i've just read your lengthy post about mike tyson in another forum. you seem to know a lot about him.. gives this post a lot of credibility.. |

Who said anything about it being automatic?
Like I said earlier, "special achievement in a particular field". That means they had to do something in order to be considered a hero in people's minds. In this case, driving a race car against other racers at 180+ mph.
Besides, any "totally unnecessary activity" that brings me shitloads of money, huge mansions, the finest clothes, the nicest cars, the biggest boats, the hottest chicks to bang, and to be idolized by millions, I'm perfectly content with. |

I attended that race at Kyalami Race track, I was 11 years old but I'll never forget the race, The first car that stopped on the side of the track was Tom Pryce's teammate, Renzo Zorzi, who was having problems getting out of his Shadow race car when fuel was leaking onto his engine, Two fire marshals jumped over onto the track to prevent any fire and help Zorzi out of the car, when the second marshal was hit by Pryce’s car.
The Second Marshall was carrying a fire extinguisher and it hit Pryce on the helmet and decapitating him. He died instantly. The Extinguisher was flung into the car park and actually hit my dad's car door.
I think the fire marshal that was killed was about 17 years old; I remember his name was Janse Van Vuuren. |

As heart-rending as this vid was, I have to agree you. And, imo, they should have included Bruce McLaren, even though he was retired as a driver and died while testing a new race car.
These men are heroes, everyone. So much of what is learned out on the race track goes towards making the passenger cars we drive safer and more fuel efficient.
