Much as I hate to see anyone die, I have to reserve my sympathies in
this case pretty much entirely for the passengers (assuming they
weren't egging him on) and the families. There's no indicatioon as to
whether the driver was drunk, but frankly 156 in a 62 zone tells its
own story.

Yes, I know I haven't mentioned the name. Bluntly, I'm not at all
sure he deserves it.

The two girls were asking him to stop speeding, that he was mad... He
answered "Hey no problem I once drove a formula 1".

The survivor whom just had met him in that bar, also said that is radar
detector was continually beeping, they just had past a Patrol car at slow
speed minutes before the accident.

I just read that in the newspaper tonight.

They had been to a bar. And even one beer reduces the ability to drive
a car so much that it shouldn't be done.

It's amazing that anyone survived - an auto crash at that speed is more
like an aircraft accident.

And four people in a Porsche Carrera! The seats in the back are only
really big enough for 5 year olds.
