Re: Paul Walker: Dead at 40 in Car Accident
How do you "accidentally" drive into a tree? It seems to me that a person would have to be really dumb to do something like that by accident. It takes a lot of effort to hit something as small as a tree. I mean look at it - it's only a few inches wide.
Now they're saying the car was driven by a professional driver? That makes me wonder even more. My city is full of professional drivers. UPS drivers. Bus drivers. Taxi drivers. And I can't remember any of them ever driving into a tree.

Re: Paul Walker: Dead at 40 in Car Accident
I think they were deliberately driving in an unsafe manner. That's not an accident. They drove unsafely on purpose. Maybe it wasn't their specific intent to hit a tree, but when someone chooses to drive unsafely, things like this are bound to happen.
I'm so sick of people saying it's a "tragedy" whenever a celebrity dies as a result of their own irresponsible and/or illegal behavior. I think River Phoenix was a great actor, but I never thought it was a "tragedy" that he killed himself with illegal drugs. It was an "irresponsibility," and it was a "stupidity," but it was not a "tragedy."

Re: Paul Walker has died.
Reminds me of when Pelle Lindberg of the Flyers died in the 80's.
Pretty sure he was driving a Porche and he drove straight into a small concrete wall at a turn, he didn't turn while driving at a high speed.

Maybe, Dean was before my time, so I just know the after stuff. I am surprised Walker was this "big", as far as how people are acting. I agree that he seemed to be a cool, down to Earth type of guy.

Re: Paul Walker has died.
Apparently they had about 1 more month of shooting left for Fast 7. Walker wasn't wrapped yet.
I wouldn't expect them to resume filming until well after the new year after Universal figures out what the hell to do.

They're saying that the CEO of his company, Always Evolving, was behind the wheel. There's also a few photos from the event today including one of him standing by the Porsche.

By the twisted look of the car in post #106, this is probably a safe bet.

Re: Paul Walker: Dead at 40 in Car Accident
Driver error and road conditions could factor in, also. It's obviously not a closed course where you can go all out. If they knew they we're going for some hot laps they should of held the event on a race track and not on the streets. Really stupid.

Re: Paul Walker has died.
How long until detailed, up-close photos of the crash surface online on some shock site?
I'm still wondering how the car was crumpled that badly. The tree it hit looked like a twig.
