and it shows that her front wheel was gone, and when she came off the afterburner, the jet car just landed on it's nose, and had no brakes, and vibrated madly, and went into the scrub fast, crashed hard and rolled, and she likely died from the crash.
The movie doesn't mention a single thing about that. They do show the jet car remains, and the damn thing was on fire, in pieces, when the team finally arrived at the black cloud of smoke that showed where the wreck was.
Why aren't there any rescue and EMTs at the far end of a land speed racers path? Why the hell are they trying to catch up to a 400 or 500 mph vehicle, from the start of the damn 8 or 15 mile track?
Why not be where the racer is speeding TOO? Instead of FROM?
Winners Take All. Jessi set the speed record, then died.
The documentary isn't thorough, it doesn't hardly show what she did before the land speed race car came around. It doesn't show many of her friends, co-workers, etc.
It does show each run on her way to the record. It does have her mom along during the races, and her dad interviewed after the crash.
