It's hard to put "two and two together" when you're racing at triple digit speeds and only see something for a few seconds. From what I've heard, the racers probably thought Purley was the guy who flipped over and had gotten out. They had no idea he had stopped and was trying to save Williamson. Either way, that video is one of the most tragic I've ever witnessed. You can practically feel the despair Purley is subjected to. |

Where is this? now-abandoned Bell Labs facility in Holmdel, NJ. about 2 million square feet of floor space, and a huge percentage of that actual laboratories. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Labs_Holmdel_Complex below, the hill in the distance to the left is famous in it's own right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawford_Hill Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson of Bell Labs used the Holmdel Horn Antenna located on Crawford Hill to take measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation. They were awarded the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physics for these efforts that supported the Big Bang theory. For more information, see Discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation (link). ar-jedi

My BIL worked at Bell, then Lucent. He told me at the time that he saw incredible examples of how far they had fallen into corruption and incompetence. When the phone company was broken up, the downward spiral began. Now he works for Cray.

Before dereg there was a concept that if you gave geniuses the room to do whatever they wanted you'd end up with million dollar ideas almost accidentally. It worked but it was hard for an accountant to draw a direct line from expense to return. Once the gravy train ran out of steam the accountants got their say. |

Quote HistoryWhy be mad? The fact that people can enjoy that beach as a luxury is a testament to the men who fought to liberate Europe. We honor their sacrifice by living the life that they died to allow us to live. Will the people on the beach get that? Probably not. But that is what I think of when I look at that picture. THIS |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Wobblin-Goblin: The vids on youtube are particularly hard to watch. They show everything. You can see Williamson trying to get out, and Purley's repeated attempts to save his friend. With every passing second, Purley gets more and more desperate as the fire gets bigger and hotter, culminating with him walking away while suffering a mental breakdown. It's one of the most tragic sequences I've ever witnessed on film.

LeMans 1966. After 3 years and $3million, Ford stomped Ferrari with a 1-2-3 win before the first Ferrari crossed the line.
ETA: still one of the coolest looking cars ever made. |
