Sad accident, but I don't get one thing.
Canadian boxer among three killed in Dubai Ferrari car crash | The National
I feel for the families involved in this tragedy, but based on the photos, this is clearly very much a two seater so how did 3 die? I've been in a 458 and there is not way you would get three men in one. |

Re: Sad accident, but I don't get one thing.
Tragic.
My first thought was on the same lines - how can 3+ be in one 2 seater. Car has split in half and debris everywhere so must have been travelling at a mighty speed. |

One was sitting across the gearstick

that a combination of other things maybe as well but whatever the case, what a waste, I feel for the parents :( |
Re: Sad accident, but I don't get one thing.
The saddest bit is the photo of him getting the car, promising not to speed. Hideous crash potentially caused by young person's hubris.

Re: Sad accident, but I don't get one thing.
this happened right outside my apartment....i was in my living room just chilling, and i heard a huge bang...i ran out onto my balcony and the car was already up in flames....i rang the police right away and they said someone had just reported it also.
i initially thought 2 cars were involved but then when i read 7 days it was the 1 car with 3 inside...i didn't even think you could get 3 people in a Ferrari....clearly the driver was speeding down the dual carriage way and lost control |

This was on the JLT road between JLT and SZR? Between cluster A and the JLT metro? How did he get up to such a speed that the car was shredded into little pieces?

Just saw this news on the Mail. They say 1 of the women who died suffered shrapnel injuries to her leg in the Boston marathon bombing.

As it was a convertible/ targa top it would be relatively easy to get three people into assuming the top was removed. Unfortunately whoever had their head through the roof would likely have been decapitated in any significant accident. :scaredhair: There is actually a video of Doug DeMuro on YouTube, among other things, carrying two passengers in his hardtop Ferrari 360. |

Re: Sad accident, but I don't get one thing.
2 girls on the laps of 2 boys (feasible conjecture)

Re: Sad accident, but I don't get one thing.
Report in The National....speed in excess of 140kph, all had consumed alcohol and 2 of the bodies were more than 150m from the crash location.

Re: Sad accident, but I don't get one thing.
More gruesome detail in other reports. Male in driving seat, taken to hospital but died, male in between seats thrown 200 metres, both females in passenger seat, one thrown 150 metres, the other hit a lamppost and was ripped in half.

I passed a wreck nine years ago just moments after it had happened (no emergency services had arrived, though a passing nurse had already stopped) and the image is still burned into my memory. Someone had driven a small passenger van, a Chevy Astro, under an artic trailer. The driver had decapitated himself as his side was furtherest under, his wife in the passenger seat had her head trapped in the door window frame because the A pillar had been pushed almost all the way back to the B pillar - her face was trapped and squashed from the sides, and I assumed she was dead or dying, though she did survive. |
Re: Sad accident, but I don't get one thing.
Video on social media now from very soon after the crash. Looks like building security using handheld extinguishers to put out the flames, can hear civil defence sirens but no sign of them. Civilians carry the boxer out of the remains and think about CPR but waste of time.
