I got called out last night for calling the posting of the Southern Ohio incident abhorrent. It was on Facebook and Im sure mom at home is friends with some of the drivers race buddies on FB, Scrolls down to see "Accident at Blah Blah track"
Imagine finding out your family member, friend etc. died by stumbling upon it? It was a gruesome enough scene without even knowing who it was. It was just posted as Big Crash at S. Ohio. Like most, you think its going to be a wicked wreck and the guys walk away to great applause.
It's always best to wait at least to be certain. I was at Sprint Week a couple years back and a driver flipped down the front straight. I was sitting pretty close to the videoagrapher who with zoom could see everything going on. He said, He's getting out but he's not alright. The people there thought he was ok. I had a inkling so it was no surprise when I got home to find the driver drove himself to the hospital with a couple broken ribs and collapsed lung. Im glad this driver healed up and races to this day.
I'd like to thank Fish for posting this. If you film it and some day the drivers ok, races again etc. It might be ok to post it long after the fact. They might even want a copy of it. Who knows?
But to close family and friends, That thing you just filmed could be a life changing/ending or a long road to come back from incident. Don't let them find out about it by exploiting it, Before finding out the facts.
Years after the fact I saw the actual photos in sequence of the Danny Milburn Crash. I never even knew they existed. I still cried.
Last I'll say about it, Just asking to have some respect, especially if its within hours or days.
