Well, the cars are like tanks. Except when hit from the top at 200mph.

That was five hours, including four hours of the most uneasy sleep, ago. I am about ready to call in sick, because that one rocked my ass.
As far as I remember, I've never seen a guy get killed right on camera and when they said there was silence on the radio my stomach dropped 20 feet because I thought I had run **** outta luck. I didn't yet watch F1 in '94 f.e., and I didn't see the 2001 Daytona 500 either (NASCAR wasn't on live in Germany back then). Jules Bianchi doesn't really count, since he didn't die until about a year later.
But this one was absolutely ghastly. Live, and in slow motion. It was nowhere near the worst NASCAR crash in recent memory, but they usually clamber out of what remains of the car, brush off the splinters, and wave to the crowd. That part of the video went missing last night. It wasn't right. It just wasn't right and both live and in slow motion it rocked my ass at 2am in the ****ing morning.
No, I'm not okay, and no, the players/drivers are not ****ing numbers.
