Very sad news. Seemed to be a class act and was going to have a full-time ride this year after only having one for (I think) Indy and this race.

I wasn't watching the American Airlines channel watching an inflight cam when they hit. So unless you were you either missed my point or failed at pwning

No, but you likely saw the specials with the firefighters in the WTC as the buildings collapsed. Also, ABC was unaware he was actually dead.bases_loaded;936650 wrote:I wasn't watching the American Airlines channel watching an inflight cam when they hit.

Stop blowing it out of proportion.

Again. Missing my point.
It was crazy to me that his in car camera was live when the crash happened live on TV.

Oh, I'm pretty sure they all have in-car cameras on. They showed it from several peoples point of view.bases_loaded;936658 wrote:Again. Missing my point.

Sorry, we weren't on the same page. I still love you, though.

The airborne in car I believe was from Will Powers, not Wheldon.

They do, and they did show his and others in-cars later... he's just referring to the coincidence that on the initial live broadcast, they were showing his in-car, though it did switch to an aerial shot right before his impact in order to show the whole wreck.

Not all, but they will put them on about 1/2 the cars in the field.
