Carroll Shelby’s 1954 South American Racing — La Carrera Panamericana, Shelby entered the race driving this Austin-Healey 100S for the factory team Shelby Racing.


 This 1954 edition was the last, it was discontinued due to safety concerns. At the 175-kilometer marker north of Oaxaca, Shelby T-bones a large rock and flips his Austin-Healey four times.

Shelby’s participation in this race was part of his broader 1954 campaign, which also included Sebring, Le Mans, and Monza.

Bitchin' Plymouth Savoy (I think) was minding it's own business, when some young punk Mustang smacked it up alongside the back bumper. Things got UGLY fast.


So, the camera didn't get an image of what the nose of the Mustang looked like, but, since he was the dumb ass running into someone who was parked, and obviously large enough to see over the dash board, no sympathy here.



The hit was not recorded, just the yelling afterward. I bet someone out there did record this from another angle, if you see that, send me a link please

news flash... LaGuardia ATC has got a lot of explaining to do


2 pilots of Air Canada dead, the airliner collided with a fire fighting vehicle






The pilot and copilot of the Air Canada plane were killed, and 41 passengers and crew members, some with serious injuries, were taken to local hospitals. Of those injured, 32 have since been released

The fire truck was traveling across the runway to respond to a separate incident on board a United Airlines flight that reported an odor issue. Moments before the crash, audio of an air traffic controller revealed that they gave clearance to a vehicle to cross part of the tarmac. Moments later, a controller can be heard saying, “Stop, stop, stop, truck 1 stop, truck 1, stop.”

Later in the audio transmission, a distraught controller is heard saying, “We were dealing with an emergency earlier. I messed up.”

Preliminary data show that the Air Canada plane was traveling between 93 and 105 mph when it collided with the fire truck


Follow up, 
A flight attendant was found alive on the ground by rescuers, still strapped to her seat with the seatbelt - which had fallen through the floor of the damaged plane

And we will never hear the end of that from airlines about wearing the damn seat belt during landing UNTIL the plane has reached the terminal. God damn it. They now have proof

1st thing I saw on the morning commute was a sign that things had really went haywire, and I didn't learn the facts til just now... a trucker crashed and died. Best guess, he fell asleep at the wheel at 6 am






I took the above photos at 6:07

a semi-truck carrying hundreds of thousands of almonds crashed and caught fire on southbound Interstate 805 near Mission Valley early Tuesday, causing lane closures, the California Highway Patrol said.



The crash was reported around 6 a.m. after the semi-truck heading southbound on the 805 didn't choose the exit or the straight ahead lane, but went directly into the middle and hit the crash cushion, at the I-805 and Interstate 8 split.

CHP says that as a result of the crash, the truck caught fire and was fully engulfed. A witness told CHP it appeared the semi "exploded" after impact.
