i'm not being funny but if the driver hadn't of put the fire out, this would be a different story. He did more work than the 'fire rescue/accident rescue' team.
@NRGPOWERR Maybe I would, maybe I wouldn't. Fact is, I'm NOT an emergency Service worker and that loser IS! He's supposed to do his job. Poorly trained for sure!
@NRGPOWERR I suspect that maybe YOU are the guy there...Are you? If you are, I sincerely apologize. My comments must surely be out of line at crass to say the least. In fact, even if that isn't you, I apologize for my comment. I am simply a man watching a person in peril and his rescuers SEEM to me to be inept but since I myself am not an EMT how would I know what they go through? My sincerest apologies for hurting you man.
This could be the shittiest emergency help ever given at a track. They not only did EVERYTHING wrong, but they did it slowly as well. I'm glad he sued everybody and won.
Have never seen such cowardly, poorly trained track side help....The other driver was the only one on the ball with the fire extinguisher. Unbelievable.
I want to see the crash and not ear a stupid music. You cant ear the cars roaring on the track, nor can you listen to the brutal explosion sound when the Ferrari hit the Porsche. So why complicate a simple thing?
To show editing skills in a video? That is nonsence!
The music just turns of any excitement or sense of danger of the accident. I like this music, but why put it here???
Thats why everyone is talking shit about the music.
when he was laid on the pavement, his burning visor fell on his face and... well, you know what happened next. It was partially Ota's fault; he refused to wear a fire retardant suit, but also the safety crews fault.
Anyone notice that these two guys were driving left hand drive cars in a country that manufactures and use right hand drive cars. Luckily they weren't driving a nissan or a toyota. They force of the impact made a mess of the right hand side on both cars. Could have ended in a fatality.
Unbelievable. The marshal undoes his neck collar, gives him a pat on the shoulder as if to say, "you'll be OK, walk it off," and goes back to extinguishing the car, leaving Ota alone on the pavement. Unbelievable. No wonder Ota sued and won, that's just criminal stupidity.
@urmo345 The song used is called "Hero", because the driver who stopped to rescue Ota is a true hero. This music honors him and his admirable act of courage and helpfulness.
Dude... there are THOUSANDS of stupid motorsport videos on Youtube.
Unfortunally people who make them think they are George Lukas or Steven Spielberg, when one of the primal rules of editing a video is not to subjugate the images by a song (and this one hasnt anything to do with an accident). Even Tarantino is against it. There is a nice soundtrack in the Pulp Fiction soundtrack were he explains this very well.
But what can you do? Another video that just wasted my time... :(
@xxBoomitsbrittxx He was filming from the stands. You expect to jump over the railing and break both legs to go and probably do more harm than good due to lack of experience? You idiot.
What fucking bullshit. A man had to die for money. postpone the race. And I don't care if I spelled it wrong. A man did not have to burn to death. It is one thing to die like Dale Earnheart and Adam Pettey but to burn to death. I can only hope he didnt suffer.
The following authors, human rights and internet activists have been murdered by the German BND, the renamed GESTAPO:
Jürgen Möllemann, Uwe Barschel, Martina Pflock, Heiner Gehring, Karl Koch, Tron, Kirsten Heisig, Fritz Bauer (prosecutor of the Frankfurt Auschwitz processes) Bernd Seiffert and my brother Markus Bott.
If my homepage disappears, the BND will have assassinated me.
BND snitchers are thumbing me down. Thumbs up if you want the BND to stop systematic torture and assassination.
This was sad watching this, poor guy would've been in severe pain, omg imagine if the visor and helmet melted to his head and he's screaming in pain, this is aweful :'(
@TheMKid2009 wow jesus ouch, and how he sue them, doesn't he sue the ppl who made the car cuz it shouldn't blow up like that or was it the officials fault cuz they shudn't've raced on such a fogged and rainy day?
i wud sue for more, i am shocked STILL by this video, and AMAZED how he DID not DIE! :O
And yer OUCH if it melted to his face a bit so how his right arm not work?
@david1991rules4life Why sue? It has to be reasonably expected that when you get into a race car there is a fair chance you could get hurt badly. He wasn`t forced to get into the car. People seem to think if something bad happens to you money will make it all better. It wont.
@andyg256 You're and idiot. He sued because of their failure to implement proper safety measures. The judge ruled that the safety car was driving at 150 km/h rather than the safety pace of 60 km/h, causing the accident when it suddenly slowed down and the fire fighting and rescue preparations were also not up to scratch. Ota was partially at fault and was happy with the $800,000, down from $2,500,000. It wasn't about the money. It was compensation for pain and suffering due to gross negligence.
This was one of the most incredible crashes of all time. This driver is lucky to be alive, not only from the fire he survived, the impact aswell. I think this really shows how storng these racecars have become. It also shows how drivers have more of a bond and are more often heros than the marshals. In the early days of racing, the drivers said they would rather be thrown clear from the wreck then be stuck under the flaming vehical and dieing a miserable life, now, drivers can survive both.
the rx-7 driver did a better job putting out the fire on the ferarri with one fire extinguisher than the fie marshalls who are trained to put out fires could with two extinguishers on the porsche....and then leaving tetsuya like struggling as he falls on his face....geeze....did those guys cheat on their tests or what??? its not right
@CRXSI1987 I don't think the marshals did that badly, you can see one of them checks he's okay, then as soon as he knows he is he goes back to the car to make sure it doesn't potentially blow up in flames again which would've spelt even more trouble for Ota. Yes, he left him, but only after he'd checked he was okay, and you can see him calling the medics over anyway, he probably wasn't sufficiently trained to know what the hell to do about any injuries.
@STFCcreamemlads im not blaming only that guy, im just saying in general it was very sloppy marshalling, and yes i know it was raining and the fire was nothing like they were trained for, but still, the fire was out and obviously the driver was not "OK" half of his fire suit was scorched and there was smoke coming off of his visor, and im sure he must've been screaming or something, so for the marshall to just leave him like that is pretty stupid.
@TimKaaarl i heard he had third-degree burnings on 40% of his body. and i think he was blind for a few minutes... due to this huge impact that would be normal... the driver of the corvette saved his life i think... he was in the fire for fucking 90seconds dude!!! the visior of his helmet was molten too...
Dear "FIFAZocka", you should add to the description about what a hero the racer/rescuer is, and about how track officials did not react quickly enough.
@turborota Usually people are trained NOT to remove helmets after an accident. Usually because of head trauma. Same happened to me when I crashed. Although the helmet is still smoking.... maybe they should have asked him like my ambulance did.
@16markie16 Ota was driving the Team Ferrari Club of Japan's Ferrari F355 Challenge. The RE Amemiya RX-7 of Shinichi Yamaji stopped in front of the Ferrari, using his fire extinguisher to save Ota. I agree that Ota originally hit a Porsche, but i assure you that it wasn't an f-430 he was driving because this crash occurred in 1998, and the F-430 wasn't even produced until 2004.
The most painful experience I could imagine is what he had to go through. He was in the burning car for 90 seconds and his helmet visor melted onto his face.
Jeez, was that the "special" safety crew? Way to A: not put out the fire, B: Take ur sweet team, C: leave a guy who just went through a horrible crash and explosion who has burns on his body lieing on the ground
@Yezkerheim I didn't see him come out of any car. There was a driver who fell out of his car (looks to me like it might be an RX-7?) and was hurt, and the guy with the extinguisher was there with him, but that driver had a white jacket and red pants.
I can't tell where the guy with the fire extinguisher came from. :o(
In any case, he did a damn good job taming that large fire with one little extinguisher, and he deserves a lot of credit for that. He saved Ota's life, no question.
Ok, I found it. The Mazda driver is named Shinichi Yamaji, and he's the guy who put out the flames in Oda's car. He just pulled over to help a fellow driver (like David Purley did in Roger Williamson's 1973 F1 crash). Again, a brilliant job putting out the fire with such a small extinguisher.
(The car I thought might look like a Mazda was, of course, a Porsche. I'm not very good ay recognizing car types. :o( )
holly crap. i think on of the marshalls cought fire directly after the impact for a few sec...
and why did the marschalls/sanis took so long the save the drivers?.. i agree somebody have to get fired after that race...
it looks to me the driver of the ferrari is blind in cause of the heavy impact at least for a few minutes this would be normal... an serious burnings. how can they just let him lay there??? how could the even start the race?
The driver of that RX-7 is a hero! Believe me when i say that of all of the crash videos i've seen to date, this one touched me to the heart. I truly feel for the driver of that 355 challenge, and i believe that the companionship shown by the RX-7 driver should be rewarded in some way.
There are several stories like this in racing. When Nikki Lauda crashed in F1 two other drivers stopped and pulled him from the burning car. The safety officials didn't have fire suits and couldn't get close to the burning car. The drivers saved him. It's always amazing how racers will stop and take themselves out of the race to help. True sportsmanship.
kudos the the (race) driver who stopped and extinguished the fire inside the Ferarri before any of the officials even got to the scene

@bresher that was Shinichi Yamaji driving the RE Amemiya RX-7. He should be recognised for his bravery in saving Ota, both are good men.

@16markie16 Ota was driving the Team Ferrari Club of Japan's Ferrari F355 Challenge. The RE Amemiya RX-7 of Shinichi Yamaji stopped in front of the Ferrari, using his fire extinguisher to save Ota. I agree that Ota originally hit a Porsche, but i assure you that it wasn't an f-430 he was driving because this crash occurred in 1998, and the F-430 wasn't even produced until 2004.

The most painful experience I could imagine is what he had to go through. He was in the burning car for 90 seconds and his helmet visor melted onto his face.

@Yezkerheim I didn't see him come out of any car. There was a driver who fell out of his car (looks to me like it might be an RX-7?) and was hurt, and the guy with the extinguisher was there with him, but that driver had a white jacket and red pants.
I can't tell where the guy with the fire extinguisher came from. :o(
In any case, he did a damn good job taming that large fire with one little extinguisher, and he deserves a lot of credit for that. He saved Ota's life, no question.

Ok, I found it. The Mazda driver is named Shinichi Yamaji, and he's the guy who put out the flames in Oda's car. He just pulled over to help a fellow driver (like David Purley did in Roger Williamson's 1973 F1 crash). Again, a brilliant job putting out the fire with such a small extinguisher.
(The car I thought might look like a Mazda was, of course, a Porsche. I'm not very good ay recognizing car types. :o( )

holly crap. i think on of the marshalls cought fire directly after the impact for a few sec...
and why did the marschalls/sanis took so long the save the drivers?.. i agree somebody have to get fired after that race...
it looks to me the driver of the ferrari is blind in cause of the heavy impact at least for a few minutes this would be normal... an serious burnings. how can they just let him lay there??? how could the even start the race?
hope everyone is allright!

The race officials should have all lost their jobs. What a disgrace to let drivers race in those conditions.

The driver of that RX-7 is a hero! Believe me when i say that of all of the crash videos i've seen to date, this one touched me to the heart. I truly feel for the driver of that 355 challenge, and i believe that the companionship shown by the RX-7 driver should be rewarded in some way.

There are several stories like this in racing. When Nikki Lauda crashed in F1 two other drivers stopped and pulled him from the burning car. The safety officials didn't have fire suits and couldn't get close to the burning car. The drivers saved him. It's always amazing how racers will stop and take themselves out of the race to help. True sportsmanship.
