it would be interesting to see the video from his car through the crash as long as it wasn't too gruesome.

Even though it obviously exists... My guess is that none of us will ever see it.

I would assume the footage ends when the camera struck the fence.

It wouldn't really make any difference. We saw from the other footage he launched over the back of another car and had a terrible end to his career.

At the angle he went into the fence, that camera was the first thing to go.

Is it wrong that I do not want to see the video?

From a humanity perspective, I do not either. From an engineering perspective, I would, just like I read every word of the official Dale Earnhardt investigation.


...and yes, as soon as the car hit the fence, that camera was gone.

More of me wants to see it than not. I want to understand what happened and why.

This is horrible.
