Paul Walker, Fast and Furious star dead at 40, in a fiery car crash...

[LadyTY2Uall]

And that is how fast it can end. Got to make the best out of each day.

Never take this life for granted. Very sad.

It is a harsh reminder that tomorrow is not promised so live for today. Tell your family you love them daily, hug them as often as possible and always keep in mind that if today is the last day you see them or they see you, the memories should be good ones.
I truly feel for Pauls friends and family, what a tragic end to a promising life. Apparently he was a wonderful human being in real life.

Sounds pretty gruesome. Apparently bystanders could see him struggling to get free while the car was engulfed in flames but he couldn't get out of his seatbelt.

We shall not forget the driver of the Porsche Carrera GT, Roger Rodas, great guy. He was a friend of mine, I was talking to him 2 days ago and I just learned that he was in the same car as Paul Walker.
I got to know him about a year ago. He was the best in the business, speed addict, which sadly took his life away. I am still in shock!

RIP Roger, great guy, great friend. RIP Paul Walker aka Brian O'Conner.

Prayers and support to both families.

Cheers.

Either the driver or the car is at fault. Porsche is not known for reliability.

Actually while they are not known for reliability, they are pretty reliable. They must have been going pretty fast and looks like they got bit by the legendary Porsche 911 oversteer. (although it is supposed to be now tamed) that car car looks highly modified so you can bet it was considerably faster then an already insanely fast stock 911. Funny though how the reaction is so different from this incident to the kid who ran from cops and crashed.

This is why you leave the racing at the track. No trees or light standards to hit there.

I dont think this was a 911. It was a limited run supercar costing as much as a ferarri.

Either a GT3 or turbo...most likely

We don't know the full story yet for this latest tragedy.

The other guy we knew was running from the cops.

Big difference.

too fast.....too furious...too dead

 

[Insidious Von]

One reason why I live life with no regrets and never get in the passenger seat with friends in sportcars that are too much for them.

RIP Paul Walker

Exactly! That's why I don't let my ass be driven my no one...that didn't come out right.

At the very least Paul Walker went out like he lived - Andy Whitfield didn't have that option.

You never know when you get behind the wheel. I haven't worked since February, thanks to some texting motherfucker taking me in the rear!

Why were they driving like this on a public street?

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

The guy driving the Porsche was Roger Rodas, a professional race-car driver:

Thank goodness no innocent civilians were hurt.

 

[crocket]

Brutal crash, and they were so stupid driving at massive speeds on a residential street. Hopefully they were dead before the fire got them. And those death pics look fake cause his body was completely burned.

 

[pusher69]

You want to know the most messed up part in all this?

They killed off Brian (the dog) O'Connor from Family Guy a week earlier via a car accident and Paul Walker who plays Brian O'Connor in the Fast and Furious dies outside of the movie in a car accident

Trees are notorious for being unforgiving when it comes to car crashes. Simply another case of someone losing control of a car, crashing into a tree resulting in death. Only this time it involved someone famous. As an auto racer, Roger should have known better than pushing the limits of that GT on public streets. Save that stuff for the track.

 

[ig-88]

Not that it excuses it, but that area isn't residential; it's a business/industrial park.

Thanksgiving weekend, it was probably deserted. I wonder if that was too tempting for 2 race car enthusiasts in a sports car.

I had the pleasure of knowing Roger, he was a very very addicted to speed, which sadly led to this tragic moment of his and Paul's life. I really doubt that anyone could have stopped him from test driving the car on public streets. This makes me sad for the family and kids they both left behind to hopefully a better place.

Lastly....
