    Never good to see someone go like that, it even worse that its in a Ferrari.
    A little off topic but, I really appreciate the education I've had in spanish that I'm able to read the majority of the Spanish posts.

    Terrible news and even more so the tragedy of the loss of human life. Just shows that one never knows when. Our thoughts and prayers go to them and their families,

    Hmmm, they destroyed over thirty meters of guardrail before slamming into a tree and catching fire?

    Sounds like the driver was driving w-a-y over the posted speed limit, insanely over.

    On the one hand, it is sad that anyone dies in a car wreck; on the other hand, one could argue that when arrogant, uncaring louts choose to operate a motor vehicle well over the posted speed limit, they endanger not only themselves but the rest of us.

    Karma, baby.

    If you don't want to be carbonized, then I suggest a cheap $130 automatic fire extinguisher for your engine bay (which will put out or delay a fire even if you are knocked unconscious), a good handheld manual fire extinguisher for the cockpit, a pocket knife with which to cut off a jammed seat belt, as well as exercising sober judgement while driving.
