{Indy Car} R.I.P. Dan Wheldon. :(
 
No video yet, but if you are near a TV turn on abc.

I hope everybody comes out of this one alive.

Holy feck.

That was one hell of a wreck... Can't believe how that one car went airborne... Hopefully no serious injuries..

Separate note,, pretty said how empty the stands are

bradc6 10-16-2011 3:13pm

Watching it and it was really bad. Hope everyone is ok.

RedLS1GTO 10-16-2011 3:16pm

Chopper has someone in it... not sure who.

Roger Penske said "As far as we know the drivers are ok..." Hope he is right.

RedLS1GTO 10-16-2011 3:18pm

Dan Wheldon is apparently the one who is hurt pretty bad. :(

Those are bags actually, they put them around the cars that way when they tow then away the gas, oil, coolant etc does leak everywhere

:sadangel::sadangel::sadangel: Wow :(

Dan Wheldon taken by air... Pippa Mann and JR Hildebrand going by ground to the main hospital.

We saw Pippa Get out gingerly but doesn't appear to be too serious at first glance for her. Still no word on what Dan's injuries are or how serious.

RedLS1GTO 10-16-2011 4:01pm

No word on the race broadcast, but wikipedia just updated to say Dan Wheldon died... hopefully that is not true.
