-Will

They made a statement that Wheldon was killed when he impacted the wall. To me it looks like Power's car lands right on his head as it hits the wall.

FWIW, no ones dies at the track. Its either in the helicopter or the hospital.

THen the track holds a news conference after all the media has had a chance to get there ffor the most impact and ratings.It's all about corporate profits.Great posts. Too bad someone couldnt blow the pics up more so we could see the detail for us sight impaired types.

Don't know if anyone's read the investigation report.

"The chassis of the #77 impacted a post along the right side of the rub, create a deep defect in the tub that extended from the pedal bulkhead along the upper border of the tub through the cockpit. This resulted in angular deformation of the roll hoop that was sheared off the tub from right to left. As the race car passed by, the pole intruded into the cockpit and made contact with the driver's helmeted head. This was evidenced by the damaged to the right side of the helmet at the lower interface surface of the helmet and visor. The impact damaged the structure of the face portion, or chin bar, of the helmet and dislodged the visor from its anchor point on the right temple. It resulted in fracturing of the helmet of the face portion as well as damage to the attachment points of the visor on the right side. This impact produced non-survivable blunt force trauma injuries to Dan's head."

So, in short, a fence pole tore off the visor and his face was smashed in.

Of course that's TUB, not rub, amongst other possible errors as I had to type it out.
