Default Not for the queasy

http://www.formula1news.it/video/73-williamson.zip

Knew and read about this wreck but never saw it till today, the wreck that killed Roger Williamson in the 1970s. Dave Purley was the other driver that valiantly tried to save Williamson's life as he burnt to his death. Those were the dark days of F1 when safety was not like it is today, even more I doubt many drivers will do something like that putting their life and race at risk to save the life of another.

Any human would be. Specially since the fire marshalls didn't go to help, stop the race and the fire truck sat there and waited till the very end because of a stupid rule that prevented them from backing into the track. Its sad because the cars are still flying by while Purley tries to right the Williamson car.
