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.

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

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.

Like my father alway said to me when I started to drive. " If you are willing to play are you willing to pay" In this case he paid with his live..

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.

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.

Wow that's insane. He had to be going insanely fast to end up on the roof of that building that far away.

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....

WOW!!! He had to be hauling major ass to land on a roof...

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.

Don if you can find the info .. GPONA.COM & G8ONA.COM will send some flowers.

dam this is one hell of a accident! This is certainly a wake up call for many people

-- 9:23am May/13/2010 --

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.
