Alex Zanardi loses legs in Lausitzring crash

A poster linked news and video of Alex Zanardi's crash in the CART race at the Lausitzring, in which he lost both legs. Some objected to watching such footage, ymenard argued curiosity about death and injury is human, and the exchange became testy. Others offered prayers and noted Zanardi was in critical but improving condition.

When you will stop acting like a nitwit, perhaps you can entertain us with your own philosophical reasons why people should NOT look into such things. Of course, you ASSumed in this situation that I had a look at the video. It's just related to the "death of the truth", modernism. The reason is quite apparent why people would look into such things. Why do you think the media still keeps showing us the WTC towers collapsing, or people jumping towards their death? But with such short-minded reply from you, I didn't really thought you would understand... I pity you, living in such PC-closet-fear... -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.ymenard.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimato Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

There is a difference if you are able to spot it at all. They show people jumping from those towers but they don't show how they do look like when they hit the ground. Because it is "disturbing". "Abnormal", "nitwit", "ASSumed", "short-minded", "pity you"...? Great discussion style. I am impressed. Nice to meet you, son.

Maybe the same people who watched jets crash into buildings. People who are curious.

It only took one of the 24hour news chanels about 1/2 a day to display the flight sim 2000 flight sim program and show just how easy it would be to fly a large jet into the world trade towers dave henrie "Springy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > "B|ern|o" <[email hidden]> wrote in messagenews:<dVYo7.56375$[email hidden]>... > > what sort of a mental case would want to whatch a video where a poor guyis

Considering that this type of crash could happen again in F1, CART or the Indy Retiree League, I'd say the footage is very useful for examination for those building the cars. Unfortunately watching it in 200x160 on a computer monitor won't do the accident justice for car builders. --- http://go.to/ra300z

Maybe instead of shouting at each other, you should pray for Alex Zanardi who has lost both of his legs. He will be in hospital for weeks and he is still in a critical situation, but atleast it seems to get better: "The chances are very good that he will make it. His condition is critical, but it is not life threatening," said Gert Schroeter, part of a team of physicians that are treating the 34-year-old. That was good news for family, friends, drivers and CART officials holding a vigil for the two-time CART champion at the Berlin Trauma Center. Zanardi was airlifted there for treatment after his crash Saturday at the American Memorial 500. "Given the severity of the crash, it's gone as well as we could have hoped for. Everybody's smiling and talking now," Honda spokesman Dan Layton said. Doctors will attempt to take Zanardi off an "induced coma" designed to reduce the chances that trauma shock would lead to kidney or heart failure within 12 to 24 hours, Schroeter said. He also will undergo a routine "second look" operation on Monday to check for fragments and infection.

I mean, crashes happen all the time at every track, but I think nobody would even imagine that he would need to have his legs amputated. If something, it must one of the worst incident a living person with a passion for motorsport can have. Kinda like Frank Williams. To not be able to transport yourself freely, in a environment where going somewhere as fast as possible is all everybody wants to achieve. I just hope Zanardi can continue to help the sport in the future (Team owner? Driver trainee? etc...) -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.ymenard.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimato Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

Driver trainee? etc...) Don't write Zanardi of from active racing just yet...... Danish driver Jason Watt broke his back in a motorcycle accident a few years ago and lost all feeling from his waist down. He was rumoured to be ready for a testdrive for Benneton F1 at the time after winning the F3000 championship, but that of course never happended :( What did happen instead was that he got a special modified car entered in the danish touringcar championship where he operates gas/brake on the wheel... he is in the joint lead of that series with 2 races to go. Talent cannot be held down ;) http://www.watt.dk/images/galleri/dtc_42.htm & http://www.watt.dk/images/galleri/dtc_24.htm shows Jason on the podium in his wheelchair. He also have driven the for the danish Panoz team at Magny Cours and was even going to participate in Le Mans, but got substituted with another danish driver in the end. http://www.watt.dk/images/galleri/panoz_test_02.htm shows Jason in the Panoz with a strap holding his legs together. I'm not saying it will be easy for Zanardi, but a serious racing career IS a possibility even without the use of ones legs ! Life in the fast lane does not have to be a closed chapter in Zanardi's book. In any case I doubt Zanardi will be thinking along those lines for a long time... I wish him a good recovery and all the best for the hard times to come. Mikkel
