Today a G8 owner died after his car went airborn and landed on the roof of a building. It's so sad to hear about such a tragic accident like this. Here's the story with a video from the scene.

Sorry to hear about the loss. Sometimes I just don't understand the main man's plan.

Would it be wrong of me to wonder if the drivetrain is still salvageable? :laughing6:

Sucks it happened but if he was drinking as they say he was I have no remorse for the guy but feel sorry for his family. Darwin claims another victim and an AIRBORNE legend has began.

I can't believe all the damage the car did to the roof. It didn't just damage the part where the car was stuck in the roof, it also destroyed the rest of the roof on the whole building. To me it seems like it landed on the roof of the main part of the building, then cartwheeled over to where it ended up. I would have to say that hardly anything at all is salvageable from that G8.

I'm sure there's some body fluids on them so I doubt it.

Wow, what a nasty crash. Sound like he is going 100 mph for major damage and end up the building roof. That's why you don't speed on public street. Take that car to track to speed up. I see he is 21 years old. Guess he feel like he need "need for speed". Shame that his life was lost for this.

One thing that someone noticed, the emergency flashers were on on the video. That means that he could have been alive for a while and he was signaling for help....

Good point, Didn't even dawn on me when I seen them flashing. Like I said to Todd last night in a PM, I never would have thought someone could get a 4000LB car air born into a building in the roof.

I have to agree, I feel for his family having to go through this.

I saw new picture of this car at clubgp thread. Not very pretty picture. This whole car is sooo mess. Broken strut, wheel came off, roof crush, windsheild is gone, whole body smash, and bloody interior.

I would say nothing good parts on that car. It will probably go crusher after that.

It sucks, it really does.. but there is no way without excessive speed he would have done that. I am thinking 140+. I've hit curbs before doing 15-20mph and all it did was break a wheel (black ice FTL). It and it must have been hella scary for him.

BTW, when you get in an accident of that caliber, a lot of times the flasher turn on automatically.
