He was not only a sponsored by Porsche throughout his career but he also co-owned a car customization store with Walker.

It appears it may not have been the driver's fault after all, especially since he was a professional race car driver.

Just because he was professional race car driver, then it wasn't his fault?

He was over-speeding!

The impact on the newer video occurs at about 15:26:46. We don't see any smoke until about 15:28:00, well over a minute after the impact. It is not until 15:28:50 that the vehicle is well alight. Yet in the earlier video we see that the car is not entirely engulfed by flames for a full minute after the vehicle becomes well alight. This pushes the period of time between impact and death to a little over THREE MINUTES. This is plenty of time for people to arrive from up to 300 yards away in their cars after hearing the initial crash and explosion.

It is now known that Paul Walker did not die upon impact and that he most likely perished due to the nature of his injuries and the flames that eventually engulfed him.

You obviously don't know much about the history and reputation of the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT.

If you listen to the lady on the phone with 911 she says she can't tell if there's anyone in the car, then takes another look and says "YES - there's someone in there."

If she could see someone in there from where they were standing, then it's probably the figure we saw moving. Especially since she hadn't noticed it before.

Most high end modified cars have an alloy in the engine and wheels, usually magnesium type, that will cat fire and burn that cannot be put out by water. Gotta let it burn down. Most corvettes and porches come with such material

She doesn't take another look (or not that anyone could tell as the vid is pointed at the fucking sidewalk at that time) but you can hear one of the guys tell her that there is someone in there and he's dead. Or something to that effect.

Here is a full transcript I made of the eyewitness video:

Cameraman
"Pull over"

Woman
"(Do you know who's) in the car?"

Cameraman
"We don't but we came from the same area"

Cameraman
"What is that? What car is that?"

Driver
"It's a Ferrari dude... isn't it?"

Cameraman
"Quick, go away it's going to blow up..."

Driver
"Dude the guy's in there"

Cameraman
"He died. GO! Drive away it's gonna blow up!"

Cameraman
"Drive away... drive over there"

Driver
"No, we're fine here it's not gonna..."

Cameraman
"Duke..."

Driver
"Dude... settle down"

Cameraman
"Oh shit"

Driver
"Don't get all hot"

Woman
"Oh my god there's the driver (unintelligible)"

Man 1
"That's it"

Man 2
"Does anyone have... a firehose?"

Man 1
"Don't have anything

*LOUD POP*

*EXPLOSION*

Man 2
"Oh! There it goes..."

Man 1
"(unintelligible) get out before it blows"

Cameraman
"Get away, it's going to blow up, it might blow up... it just went..."

Man 3
"...blew up the gas-tank"

Woman (on phone)
"I can't... and the car is in half, I can't tell if there's someone in there"

Cameraman
"Someone... he is, he's dead"

Woman (on phone)
"Yes, there is someone in there... and I'm sorry, what was your question?"

Actually I believe she only says there is someone in the car is because the kid who runs up on her, the one filming the video tells her "there IS someone in there... he's dead". She responds immediately with there is someone in there.
