brave brave man this should have been avoided the guy would have been saved sooner ad the had flipped the car with purely what was with the guy looking like he just put his coat on ?where was the flags to stop the race?look at the film he n the other guy am there before purely shame purely was taken out by a plane sad twist of fate he must have gone to the grave knowing his mate should have been alive
I Watched this when it broadcast last year, and again thank god that Jackie Stewart got to grips with the race organisers back then ............... still a sad piece of F1 history
Proper old fashioned hero that man. Sad to see he died so young, I was hoping to find that he was still around 'doing the right thing'. His effort to save Roger Williamson was both tragic and heroic at the same time. His utter dejection and anger at failing to save Williamson & the inept efforts of marshalls is quite haunting. A true hero. But I do hope & believe that both Roger & David are in a better place now and maybe banging wheels with Ayrton, Jochen & Gilles et al. Godspeed and RIP.
It's so sad, I saw a lot of Videos about this accident, my Info is that David abandoned his race because he and Roger were good friends.......
A lot of people said he died not in the fire, also he was not harmed by the crash, he died because of the asphyxiation!
I just can say, i hope one of my friends would be great as David Purley..... then I'am fine till the rest of my life, cause i know theres someone watching for me.......
The most stupid part is that a firetruck was within 100m but wasn't allowed to drive in opposite direction, so a firetruck from approximately 500m back had to come and was to late. :( R.I.P. R.Williamson
Stupid marshals, I know it's a accident but they just stood there :( unfortunately Williamson was not harmed by the crash itself and burned to death, he was trapped and purley was unable to put the
Flames out or turn the car over... So sad RIP Roger Williamson.
That was to sad. Those other guys are cum guzzleing retards who did know how to operate their brain. How the hell are people alowed to do things if they can't do anything. R.I.P.
no he did not die due to fire or accident .... he died due to asphyxiation.....during David Purley's Heroic attempt he could here Roger screaming and telling him to save him ...
everyone who looks back at this terrible accident must remember that marshalls didn't have fireproof overalls at that time. Purley's actions were truly heroic.

As a human being...how the fuck could you just stand there knowing a man was burning to death? You can really feel Purleys agony. RIP

Did he die as a result of the fire or was he killed in the crash? I hope it was the latter...
