Could this be the worst wreck in the last 40+ years? I'm pretty sure it's the worst in my lifetime. Sure do hope all drivers come out okay.

The worst wreck I ever saw was Gordon Smiley. But that was a single car accident. In terms of total carnage, this one today was was up there with the worst ever.

RT @AshleyJudd Thanks everyone for prayers. No update on Dan yet except unconscious but vitals are good. Everyone here very scared. Pray for medical team.

Have never seen an open wheel car wreck involving that many cars. That sort of thing usually happens in NASCAR races at Talledega or Daytona.

Shades of the start of the 1958 Indy 500. I just hope that we didn't lose one like we did back then.

The tone of the announcers is not very reassuring.

Gregg, I could not agree more. Interviews too for that matter. Hoping for the best though, as I am sure is everyone.

From indycar.com I see that 12 cars where involved, is Wheldon the only one that was air lifted?

Thanks, just got on the indycar.com radio network and heard

That is what is being reported, yes.
