I was biking by and had to stop and take a picture.
This is a fairly impressively wrecked BMW. The airbags went off. The car crumpled as designed.
But that was a LOT of energy to dissapate in a short period of time. Imagine a pedestrian or cyclist or motorcyclist or cute furry animal getting hit with that much energy.
Yet people still drive drunk, drugged up, impaired, tired, or while talking on their cellphone. And the problem is, it's not evolution in action if you take somebody with you.

Ok, so watching a sunset in January is quite different than in summertime. It was cold and I forgot my gloves so it got to the point I had to give up taking photos as I couldn't change my camera settings shooting on manual.
In addition, I hadn't walked up Wreck in a while so I was completely out of breath when I made to the top and a few days later still had sore thighs.
Can't wait to go back again.
There was a tanker truck wreck on Rt. 220, Interstate 581 between Wanju Ave exit and Elm Ave. exit in Roanoke, Virginia 7/12/08
I got there right after it happened and took as many shots as I could from different area's around the accident. It was one of the scariest things I have taken pictures of yet.
The heat from the fire was unbelievably hot. Sweat was rolling down my face but I was determined to get as many shots as I could because it is something I will never forget.
The driver's body was found the next morning and of course he was dead. That upset me too. I hope and pray that he did not suffer and that his family will survive the heartache and know that there are lots of people out here praying for them.

THE MORRISBURG RAILWAY HORROR.
Recovery of the Bodies of Driver Stewart and Fireman Clark.
Brockville. April 25. By persistent and almost superhuman work on the part of the regular road staff assisted by scores of willing volunteers the bodies of the engineer and fireman killed on tbe Grand Trunk at Morrisburg on Friday morning were recovered late in the afternoon. Stewart's body was in sight of those working for hours before it was possible to get at it without removing a vast pile ot wreckage whicn had tumbled into the gorge. When found he was sitting in an almost natural position in tbe cab seat. His face had been very little injured, but his body and limbs were considerably crushed and mangled. - Tender hands carried the body to the bank and the search was then continued for Clark the fireman. The latter was also found in tbe cab but presented a horrible spectacle. The poor fellow had been jammed close on to the boiler head and in addition to being horrribly mangled was scalded beyond recognition. Bcth bodies were at once taken to Morrisburg and duuring the night brought to their homes here
It is impossible yet to accurately estimate the loss to tbe railway company, but it will certainly be heavy. The bridge is a wreck as are also the thirteen cars, but it is thought the engine can be made available for service. Transfers are still necessary, though a large force of men are busily engaged in the construction of a temporary wooden bridge,
What happened: Ben spun, a yellow flag came out so everybody should have been slowing down, two cars pass Ben with no problem, third guy in a Porsche GT3RS was not paying attention to the flags and instead was trying to still race the Porsche in front of him and saw Ben too late. He tried to swerve but ended up hitting Ben between 60-70 MPH head on. The guy didn’t even seem phased that he’d just wrecked his $140,000 car, let alone Ben’s M3. Asked Ben once if he was okay and that was it. Basically, he’s a rich asshole.
