Once again, tragic loss of life caused by stupidity...

[bobman1235]

People really need to look up the definition of "Tragedy."

[Keiko]

Any needless loss of life is tragic as far as I'm concerned. This is no exception and very unfortunate. I feel for the victims and their families.

No charges have been filed against the off-road racer, whose identity has not been released by authorities. The driver had to be escorted away from the area after the crowd “started to get rowdy. People were upset,’’ Zubieta said.

I don't see how charges COULD be charged against the driver. He was racing, lost control, hit spectators. They shouldn't spectate if they aren't willing to face the consequences.


And yes, it is a tragedy.

[hearingimpared]

Don't mean to sound unsympathetic or crass but isn't part of the thrill for racing enthusiasts crashes or the possibility of a crash?

[cstmar01]

To me not a Darwin award. Its just a very sad accident that happened to people watching it. Yeah they were in the middle of no where but if you like sports and things like that, thats what you have to do.

Its like hunting in the middle of no where, something happens and its hard to get help.

[obieone]

I think there's 30k people who deserve that award, before the victims of that crash.
