Brian Willis - RD ATL Accident!

Brian

I am saying my prayers for you. I hope you recover soon and well.

 

Vinny thanks for that update, and our prayers to Brian for a fast recovery.

 

Just spoke with Brian's brother who is with him at the hospital. He was concious and talking although they are going to admit him due to a severe concussion and facial fractures. They are waiting for a specialist consult, but so far the long term prognosis looks good. Please do keep him in your prayers....

 

oh man.... fingers and everything else that can be crossed is crossed. speedy recovery Brian!!!

Thanks for that update on Brian. Hope he recovers very fast, very sorry to hear about that.

 

Sorry to hear about this needless accident. My prayers are with Brian.

 

Thanks for the update Vinny. That's just unreal. Brian's in our prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery.

wow, that's awful. Here's to a speedy recovery.

shame about the car, brand new and it was a real gem.

any word as to the cause of the crash? Driver error, parts failure, etc.

and why were a Mustang and C sports racer on the track at the same time? Sometimes NASA makes me wonder.

 

NASA has a class called Thunder - its for big HP cars, and or prototype cars.

Officals stated the Brian went off the track - spun facing turn 7, at that moment a Mustang went off same turn at high rate of speed.. and lept over the Norma that Brian was racing.

The car is badly damaged, and I have to say the NASA officals were very poorly equiped to communicate - it seemed that nobody knew what was happening. NASA impounded the car, shortly after the accident, but we got to check it over briefly - they opend the door for those of us in his crew - i fear its a total write off.... So glad that he is alive!

 

Holy Crap!! Thats scary!!!

I am glad to hear he is ok. Best wishes for a speedy recovery...

it was a scary crash.. Its a scary moment seeing that helicopter land on turn 7. the car looks like a total loss. such a shame.

thank goodness he will b okay.

Brian

 

Hope the safety equipment did their job.

We should find which hospital Brian is at and all meetup there and park under his rooms windows and all rev our engines in support.

Scary stuff. Prayers for Brian's quick recovery.

 

gosh Jeff thats a great idea. he is at Atlanta Medical Center downtown.

 

hope he is ok w/ no long term effects. too bad abou the car but in the big scheme of things the car dosn't matter. earlier this week a nascar driver was testing and hit the turn 7 wall head on at 100mph. at least he walked away.

 

If we can find which room he's in and which side of the building we could do it this week?
If he's been discharged we could meetup outside his home and have a rev and honk fest.

If he's not reading the forum posts we could do this as a surprise flash mob type of thing.

Maybe even tonight Sunday?

While this is a cool idea, AMC does not have parking next to the hospital. Its a parking garage away from Pt. Rooms. AMC is a client of mine, so I know the hospital well.

the only place where the rooms face any type of parking is next to helipad, and exit from the parking garage... the emergency room has a parking slot only for Dr. & ambulance... maybe do a video and send it to him & post on Utube?

 

a you tube is a great idea too. I just made a visit at his room 867 and he is resting. But, he will be okay.. thank goodness.

Brian

 

I spent a good part of the afternoon at AMC with Brian & his brother. Brian was asleep for most of it but when he was awake he said he wasn't feeling any pain. We'll know more tomorrow and keep you all updated.

Thanks for all the kind words for Brian, I know it'll mean a lot when he reads the posts.

 

Glad to hear he will be ok.
