Despite Luge Death, Opening Ceremony Goes On

[CheddarBob39]

If I saw that crash on video and I was one of the luge competitors. I would be shitting my pants. lol.

[MrLalime]

If Nodar was a Canadian things would be different . The only thing that used to be good in Canada was Rush but nowadays even that band sucks.

oh noo, a luger died!? LMFAO, people, if your going to die during a "sport" then please atleast do yourself the honer of dieing during a REAL Sport! Luge xD! FUCKING GAY! why is this on the homepage of youtube again?? Anyone? xD! man!

[keepitFrosted]

@mrprettyboyswaggable you're an idiot. id like to see you go down a luge run, going 80-100mph. you would most definitely shit your pants, and cry for your mom. and its on the front page because it was a tragic death that all people should remember.

[ILUVFFANDKH]

@mrprettyboyswaggable you clearly have a narrow mind :-/ laughing at a death is too much

[BlinginTom]

@mrprettyboyswaggable haha that's hella funny but super fucked up xD

[MsNeoDraven]

@mrprettyboyswaggable A real sport? Please look up the definition of a sport and the history of sports because you obviously know nothing about real sports with your weak ass overused name.

[meany1023]

@mrprettyboyswaggable lol u sure in hell dont know what this sport is they fly down on ice at 120 kph on their backs with only a helmet id love to see u try this and say that again faggot dude u know what ur a disgrace in the world u should just kill urself for what u just said

[mrprettyboyswaggable]

@meany1023 im a disgrace to the world but hell at least im not going to die slideing across some fuckin ice at "120 kph" like this fucktard. u mad bro?

[meany1023]

@mrprettyboyswaggable lol am i mad lol? u just commented on a 2 month old repost to ur comment lol

[p1n0YkA]

why the hell is lady gaga on up next?

[XxRHCP4lifexX]

i couldnt believe they showed the video of him dying instantly on impact on the news the next day, it was horrible..

[khunopie]

I'm dieing to luge, not luging to die

[iamextremelyawesome]

@bigtimcny are you BLIND?!?

as for the luge death. who the HELL decided to make the course NEXT TO THE STEEL BEAMS?

canadians did. that's who.

[EagleBurnVideos]

@iamextremelyawesome the canadians didnt make that course, it was an official olympic course. you really are a true idiot, im sure your response will prove you have no idea where the caps lock is and youre excessive use of exclamation points and question marks will prove how mature you really are.

[cannadanarchy]

I don't think the Romans would stop their Olympic or gladiator tournaments regardless of any death either. I'm just saying. I think we still believe ourselves to be warriors and fearless about death. Just think of Jackie Chan, and he is just a martial arts actor. Not even a fighter.

[TechnicolorStereo]

haha..... I love bigtimcny's comment.

[akuamakana]

well at least he died doing something he loved

[HigHGuyism]

huh??

[leondenis00]

I believe the luger would want the Olimpics to go on. He departed doing what he loved best in his life. It was the only thing that went wrong on this great great Winter Olimpics. Canada rules!

[tajtas]

Fake view count only 450 comments and only about 200 people rated and 450k views? Nice auto

[CardsOnFire2010]

@tajtas not everyone has accounts for youtube retard

[BDSCsCoPa]

i don't wanna luge anymore :(

[89MohaA]

who cares about nodar kumaritashitty. rest in semen

[andronickvll]

@89MohaA

that's not nice,you darn prick,hope your dad will die by a car accident or worse.

[Killdeer101]

@andronickvll That may not be nice, but you just condemned someone to die who had nothing to do with the comment.

[MisterFlaherty]

0:05 BRAINS.

This happened in Canada??? Oh, you mean the leech that sits on top of the United States? :D

[bigtimcny]

id like to bang that girl waving the canadian flag

[austinp33]

@bigtimcny brutal face

[DrSifilis]

@bigtimcny the flag thinks the same

[lennex88]

@bigtimcny ew no

[RenyRuIez]

@lennex88 In Canada, that is considered hot.

[lennex88]

@RenyRuIez then thats pretty pathetic hah

[electrobassrock]

Hey Youtube, hows about for the year in review not using a video w/ a thumbnail pic milliseconds before nodars dome turns into mashed potatoes. stop removing songs from videos and think about that one. stay classy

[electrobassrock]

hey Youtube

hows about on your year in review section not using a video with a thumbnail that's milliseconds before his dome splits of a beam. stay classy

[SDFFDGSSDFGSDGFDGSFD]

I know this is bad but at 0:12 I loled at his facial expression

[hockeybuss]

Luge is about the STUPIDEST thing EVER! So then they came up with going head first too! People make fun of the biathalon, but that event is well founded

-trying to shoot while skiing/ hunting in the winter time -a very plausible scenario& veritable skill in real life, like ice skating, but WHERE are these freakish ice tubes that ppl careen down in real life that started this stupid totally contrived sport of luge. stupid! stupid! stupid!

[SunMoonStars1111]

@hockeybuss Calm down dickhead, and take some medicine. No one wants to hear you rant or say how "great" a sport is. Sports aren't always, and actually, now that I think of it, and almost never translated into actual everyday life. Christ...

[SkullMaggot]

@hockeybuss When, in your life have you ever had to ski and shoot a rifle at the same time? I've gone sledding, I can relate to flying down an ice hill on something that's hard to steer.

[hockeybuss]

@SkullMaggot "When, in your life have you ever had to ski and shoot a rifle at the same time?" the nordic people do it all the time when they hunt in the winter. its a veritable real life skill, much more so than most sports. The real question is, &I repeat, where are these freakish ice tubes in the real world that people started hurtling/ carreening down to start this dumb sport. this luge CRAP is totally contrived &totally disconnected from reality, BUT I heartily encourage you to do it !

[UnbeltedSundew]

@hockeybuss To be honest it looks like a hell of a lot of fun.

[Bowarcher]

this guy should have gotten his head in the game. now he'll never get ahead in life.

[caitlyngbassett]

ktnynews8 thats all im going to say get them quick!

[Sunfish737]

Nice video! The most popular video of 2010 in Russia or what about Russia sings in the economic crisis –youtube.com/watch?v=NdTMa1r_R­R4

[greenday563]

did the luge survive

[ninka12345678]

georgia not russia you fikin dam ass and not russians

[JessOnTheRun]

one less russian in the world. :-))))))

[raoorz]

@JessOnTheRun :O

[BlueSharkBoy434]

@JessOnTheRun He was Georgian you dumbass.

[JessOnTheRun]

@BlueSharkBoy434 same as a russian... some stupid worthless east european that isnt needed in the world you dumb fucking uneducated low wage earning loser.... sit the fuck down before i slap you down boy!

[yousuperpussy]

@JessOnTheRun TROLL FAIL - Reason = lack of originality, lack of wit, and lack of subtlety.

[CowardCanadian]

the IOC confirmation that the track was safe has no LEGAL value because a CONFLICT of INTEREST. The fact is the IOC has approved the truck. it was the IOC fault TOO, in not observing the lack of safety issues found by Major Nourhaghighi. ONLY a Court outside Canada shall held a trial to find Canada & IOC guilty of Negligence. Major Nourhaghighi is known as the best lawyer in the World who found them guilty ON SAME DAY; but Toronto Police torture him and trespassed hi computer & deleted facts

[americangirlluvr1999]

The opening ceremonies remind me of the 2008 Bejing ( or however u spell it) Olympic games opening ceremonies. That was decitated to a U.S brodcaster who was suppossed to be brodcasting the games for NBC (the U.S brodcasting station for the olympics) in 2008, but eventally died before the opening ceremonies. The 2010 Vancouver olympics opening ceremonies was decitacted to Nodar due to his death and crash that same morning. ; )

[Purushadasa]

I think it's very disrespectful for the announcer to refer to the deceased as "loser."

[y02momo]

@Purushadasa luger... he was a luger

[Purushadasa]

@y02momo Maybe so, but it's still disrespectful.

[y02momo]

@Purushadasa how is it disrespectful? if he was really a luger?

[Purushadasa]

@y02momo I don't care what he did for fun, the announcer should not have called him a loser.

[y02momo]

@Purushadasa the thing is the announcer called him a LUGER and not a loser

[Purushadasa]

@y02momo I guess it's a pretty clever play on words, but what about some respect for the deceased?

[y02momo]

@Purushadasa you're an idiot xD

[Ravloma]

@y02momo Say, that's not so. I know him, and he's actually very smart.

Do you know him?

[y02momo]

@Ravloma Since you know him, explain to him that a luger has nothing to do with a loser and that the announcer wasn't disrespecting him...

And no, I don't know him..

[Ravloma]

@y02momo Pretty sure he knows that.

[feldman30012]

@Ravloma Your channel is kina funny for a kid from china...if you really are that is. I mean a christian happy that hitchens has cancer is quite odd..

[az101]

ALLAH is the only GOD.. THERE IS NO GOD EXCEPT ALLAH and none can be worshiped besides ALLAH. ... follow the Quran and the teachings of ALLAHs Final Messenger muhammad(peace be upon him) AND THIS IS TRUE way TO PARADISE

[MrHollohopr]

@az101 your an idiot! Muhammad is nothing more than a pile of dusty bones that managed to find some suckers to follow him. Your version of paradise with seventy male virgins is a bit twisted... LOL there is always a weak minded idiot in the bunch like yourself.

[amrandankha]

gthgth

[CSS171717]

what has the guy speaking got stuck up his nose?

[NVanWendy]

Despite luge death...?

Are you actually implying that the whole Olympics should have packed up and gone away because of this unfortunate accident?

[Conquissstador]

YES

[BlueSharkBoy434]

@NVanWendy They should atleast show some fucking respect...

[NVanWendy]

@BlueSharkBoy434 See JemzG's comment above. This guy was given more honours than any member of his team will when they eventually pass. These jerks on the comment page like Jess above, well, they're just ignorant.

[kevout92y]

Ok everyone, it's both of their faults, but it's an accident, accidents happen and sometimes they can be small or big.

Canada didn't put up more safety precautions for this sport where u go over 80mph.

The athlete made a mistake in the turn, everyone makes mistakes but unfortunately that turn caused his death.

[howusingtonite]

You can see the luge video plus KD Lang singing at the opening ceremonies at

w w w OlympicsWinter2010 com

[GeorgiaXXIcentury]

thanks for site. i watched full luge of Nodar. Thanks :(

[TheCodeLyokofreak]

This is simply incomprehensible how this could happen today. that they had yet to think that you can be lifted and then there are piles drop for a tunnel.

come on! This is the twentieth century!

[kenny5292]

@TheCodeLyokofreak lol were actually in the 21st century.

[jesuswater]

the 20th century ended about 9 years ago.....

[jaredb87]

or 10 years and 3 months?

[SouthwesternEagle]

@TheCodeLyokofreak

Don't you mean the twenty-first century?

[TheCodeLyokofreak]

YES I MEAN THAT

[LGS2471]

Our prayers are with you Nodar, your family, & your country!

I'm begging the Olympic Officials to consider enclosing the Luge Course to increase the safety of those who use it. Perhaps an enclosed-reinforced screen along the slide!

Please help to keep the others safe!!!

[Tecknoe]

You win some you luge some.

[thewolfchild]

wow...kinda funny but very verry dark. You must be a medic or an e.r. doc.

[joefudgepacker]

Hey SPS148669 YOUR THE BIGGEST FUCKIN PEICE OF SHIT THAT I HAVE HEARD ANYONE SAY FOR YOU SAYING SUCH A REMOT THING IS DISCUSTING YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT IS DEID TAKEN A FUCKIN BULIT TO THE HEAD YOU FUCKIN FAGGOT DIE IN HOLE ASS HOLE

[themike1313]

you piece of fucking shit, rot in hell

[Kemotosen]

The real video is here... tired of looking for it and figured you guys wanted to dodge all the fake stuff.

I can't post a link so just google this:

"washingtonpost Olympic luger thrown"

It will be the first link.

[osama0406]

put the fucking video on retard

[sproutmanv2]

I'm from the USA and I support Canada. A man died doing an extreme sport, I missed the part where that's grounds for bashing Canada. Canada alone does NOT plan the Olympic games, So stop arguing about what you think you know.

[TheAndre891]

to all you canadian haters, saying we are third world country and all that bullshit, all i have to say is.....Free Healthcare....................­..........

[frilipski]

@PackedFunk

um yeah no offence you ignorant fuck, but unfortunatley we do not have the power of god and cannot make the fucking weather change at our will you stupid piece of shit. good job for using that retarded brain of yours your parents must be proud!

[jakef9269]

i just want to see the video where he eats shit... can anybody that has seen it send me a link or something please??

[YimYum]

this track was open for 6 months before the olympics. there were crashes but no death. this was a little both sided. yes the track was much faster then normal but at the same time it cant entirely be the tracks fault since thousands have went on it before the crash. so if it was entirely the tracks fault there would be 1000 dead people. so he had some take on this crash. and Canada cant controll the weather for all you dumb asses out there.

[septicbrainfluid]

@YimYum It's actualy been open for a couple years. the was even a major international luge event held on it last year. I can't remember the name.

[Doglovr22]

COUNTRY of Georgia??

[Yotehunter93]

@Doglovr22 yes its near hungary

[prosperanda]

WOW. These comments are incendiary. They sadden me. That it is tragic that the young man died on the luge run is without question, but that the sport is dangerous is also without question.

That Canadians have no control over the weather is also without question. So let's give the hosts a break here, and stop slamming them. It is a huge commitment on so many levels to host the Olympics. Thank you, CANADA, for your generosity and for the beauty of your venue.

[inuyashacrazy18]

people say there's a video of the crash

[JermzG]

THE WHOLE CEREMONY WAS DEDICATED TO NODAR! ...there was a minute of silence, acknowledgments and condolences from the organizing committee, and a standing ovation for the Georgian team as they entered!... u can't say that "the festive mood contrasted sharply" or anything!...please.

[amrandankha]

@JermzG fgg

[PackedFunk]

Cheap bastards.

Should have had a wall coming out of that turn protcting riders from support beams.

Canada really dropped the ball on this Olympics.

Slush for ice on speed track.

Pretty shitty.

[IaGaNa123]

Nodar was best guy i ever seen! fuck all who thinks that he made mistake and that's why he died!<<< it is not true! fuck all you who do not think like this

[nasafakedit]

The olympic committee should be sued by his father for lack of safety precautions

[JHchill94]

fuck you robert johnson

[robertjohnson487]

Should the Canadians be hosting the olympics if they can't provide safe tracks for sledding? Canada is like a third-world nation. Have you driven on their roads?

[h5y]

@robertjohnson487 Hahah, What? People like you make me laugh! Do you also live in one of those states where incest is accepted?

[canericankev]

@robertjohnson487 your a dick!

[thepineapple1]

just further proves that no one cares about who dies, its sad when one of the worlds largest organizations doesnt give a damn about its memebers

[h5y]

@thepineapple1 So let me get this right.. The IOC is suppose to cancel an event in which millions of dollars had been spent due to a freak accident death? The death was sad, but in the end it came down to him not being very inexperienced compared to the 'all-star' riders. It's a sport, you have to worry about your own safety, and he failed to do so. But really, we all need to move on. It's comments like yours that really annoy me and makes me feel the need to inform you what happened.

[taj561]

inexperience has nothing to do with this accident, this is simply canada's greedy hands taking it too far. this track was suppose to go 84 mph, and he died going 95 mph. if this track was safe why in the hell did they lower the starting point and add walls where he got hit? if its safe they shouldnt of done anything to the track. I swear the nerve of some ppl blaming this kid...

[h5y]

@taj561 Yeah they were being greedy because they wanted the best track possible for the best riders in the world! I don't understand, people die training for the NFL/college ball every year, so should they make the training camps easier to compensate for the weaker players!? Obviously not, Understand?? It's very sad what happen to him, don't get me wrong. But in the end, inexperience had EVERYTHING to do with this accident.

[taj561]

minus the fact that nobody said luge was a safe sport to begin with. if ur going 95 mph on ice without pads im sure someone will soon die

[thepineapple1]

@h5y thank for taking the time to write that. i wasnt really bitching and moaning, im just pointing out that nobody gives a fuck. the least they could have had is a memorial or some time during the opening ceremony, not pretend that nothing happened.

[h5y]

@thepineapple1 They had the moment of silence for him, and they put all the flags at half-mast. What else do you want them to do, cancel the show? I Don't mean to sound pissy, it's just when people talk about something they have no clue what about, it gets to me.

[GoreTorn16]

The show must go on.

[breezy12696]

first of all, of course they are going to go on with the opening ceremony, they have invested BILLIONS of dollars into this even, one death will not ruin it. R.I.P

[rross27]

These comments are nearly as tragic as this mans untimely death. (Excluding Tammys)... This man may not have been in a war, but he DIED FOR HIS COUNTYRY! So show some respect please!! Oh I forgot, people dont know how to show respect anymore, because they think everything is a tv show, not real. Desensitized zombies who would step over a dying man on the sidewalk, or kill their grandma for a million dollars. This is what we have become? If this is the case... none of us have much time left.

[camy2529]

Is someone offering a million dollars for grandma removal?

[rross27]

"Is someone offering a million dollars for grandma removal"?

Nah, the American governments new Zionist/Communist/Socialist/Ma­rxist (all invented by Jews) health care bill is taking care of grandma's, and grandpa's collectively now for us. It's going to be a slaughter comrades jump right in!

(Rahm Emanuels brother, Ezekiel Emanuel, who is Obamas health care czar and author of Obamas Health Care Plan, will be one of them.)

[MusicThatsHot]

wth, why are you talking about something completely off topic, dumb fuck

[rross27]

@MusicThatsHot

Because I was asked a question by some one dumb fuck head, whats it to you?

[torea777]

жестоко так молодая жизнь оборвалась на 21м году.

[mraberrant]

How was this guy brave? If everybody who gets killed accidentally is all of a sudden "brave" or a "hero" I'm surprised more people aren't signing up.

[purpleladydragon]

hes brave because he went to the olympics to honor his country and represent his country, to do that is a very great honor, and luging is hard to do, very hard to do and you risk your life everytime doing it, next time, dont make any comments, you sound stupid

[MesorzPlox]

Well said.

[BlanknWhite]

Also don't forget that this guy told his parents that he was afraid of the track because it was so dangerous.

[imursgurl]

@simoncondywust back then black ppl were the richest in nation, we were actual kings and queens...y u think ur ppl robed us for everything, thats how u all became and stayed rich...do some research and i dnt need credit from u!

[tammyvrba]

It gets really tiring hearing young people of today speak about "slavery"...what could any of them with their I-Phones, designer clothes, etc. etc. possibly know about being a slave? They should be using the freedoms that our ancestors fought so hard for to continue to better themselves...not sit around complaining about how their great grandparents were slaves so they deserve something for it. BTW, we're all the same colour on the inside. Life is too short for constant division.

[flyingsin]

GINGERS HAVE NO SOULS!!!!

[Blackjack4300]

That's quite random. Why would you say that?

[r8ymond]

wtf r u idoits talking about.. how is rich ppl related to this video?

[vancouverdan]

YIKES!!!!!!

What are all you folks talking about???? Slightly off topic or WHAT???

Black? White? Asian? Purple? ORANGE? GREEN?

It's 2010 !!

[xNo0bl3Tx]

@vancouverdan nice

[gokugohanson]

is it ok to laugh?

[imursgurl]

@SIMONCONDYWUST...as i recall BLACK PPL were the ones who were slaving, WE did all the work while u LAZY ASS WHITE PPL did nuffin, the black man built most of everything while ya'll sat there & took credit...everything ya'll got was handed down from generation to generation...ya'll stole black PPL & their riches and u stole the native americans land...ur race is a piece of shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KZ2Snipa]

@imursgurl No, thats just what you learn in school. What you dont learn about is that the slaves we had were already enslaved in Africa after they were raided. At first they would just kill them, but then they realized that Americans would give them items for what they considered junk. Also, it appears as if we just sat back an let y'all do all the work. While in truth some slaves were indeed treated badly, most people had only 2 slaves because they were exspensive and treated them well.

[SwazyFinesse]

Did you learn that even the black slave traders were put into slavery too? Manipulation is a bitch.

[PSTriple]

yo mah brotha im black nd im hella rich, all cauze of mah pstriple no need 2 worry theres always a chance,

baaaAAAlliin

[SimonCondywust]

Black people never had any riches, dumbass. And for your information, white slave traders were handed black slaves in Africa by OTHER black people. White people built the entire modern world and if you attribute all the wealth of whites to slavery, how did all those white Europeans get so rich? There wasn't any slavery in Germany, dumbass. Crack a book for once in your squalid, meaningless life.

[ising4kings]

get a life, youre arguing behind a fucking keyboard... it gets no more meaningless

[SimonCondywust]

You're doing exactly the same thing. Very insightful of you.

[SwazyFinesse]

White people got rich through oppression, and limiting their jobs only to whites. Therefor later on when they allowed blacks job opportunities whites were already light years away. So basically us blacks are entered into a race that we can't win. Yes I know life's not fair, but it takes dedication to finish the race.

[xNo0bl3Tx]

@imursgurl and @KZ2Snipa ...In my opinion i HATE white people that think there race is better... i also HATE black people that think there race is better... same with any other race... one more thing that i Hate... and thats americans... they are always thinking there the best and saying all this im white, live in america and am 14... fuck this whole conversation i want to move to Australia

[otosflashymoon]

@xNo0bl3Tx

'You shall not hate your fellow countryman in your heart; you may surely reprove your neighbor, but shall not incur sin because of him. Leviticus 19:17

[xNo0bl3Tx]

@otosflashymoon i dont hate all americans, and i agree with that statement(a little) but some assholes you just cant help but to hate them.

[camy2529]

but america is the best though, is not that not pretty obvious?

[rcc124]

what riches are you talking about??? name me 5 valid ones and i'll give you credit...

[zrussell7]

has anyone heard the rumors about this guy?

if this video is about someone's death, then WHY THE FK do i see racist comments??
