  • Damn

    

  • R.I.P.

  • Horrific... I agree with Martin Brundle when he says that sport should not be this dangerous. IndyCar and NASCAR *must* learn from Formula 1 and do something about safety. 3-4 cars abreast at 220mph is just bonkers. Period.

  • He acts like this is the first wreck ever in open wheel racing. Anyone remember Danny Ongaiss? He survived. Most people survive, some don't. That's racing.

  • @dirac33 remember peter brock?? of course you do.

  • @dirac33 Are you for real? That's NOT racing. It's not me who is saying this, it's the racers themselves. I'd say they would know a thing or two more than you or I. It is not acceptable that people die while entertaining crowds. Racing can be thrilling without being life-threatening.

  • The awkward moment of the crashes and you don't want to fly and death...

  • wow u guys are a bunch of puke bags... lets grow up here and actually have soul for once and stop being immature.. put ur big boy pants on... r.i.p dan

  • wow... 700000 views in 2 days O.O

  • @wafflewafflez Wow is right; it was at 315 views when I watched it the first time. I found after I saw the closeup of the still photos then I could figure it out better but OMG; going that fast was I think it all happened in a matter of seconds and he abs. had no where to go; so tragic.

  • R.I.P.

    

  • The faster you go, the bigger the mess. Slow down. Think!

  • may dan whelon rest in peace.

  • RIP Dan wheldon from holland :(

  • at 0:35 the (white) car in the middle did accelerate without any delay - was that dan wheldon ? this car drove full speed into the other cars. or is it the car downside @ 0:39 which drove full speed into the other car, left wheels over the line ? both cars didn't react ...

  • @rockstarstudio Dan Wheldon is the one at 0.35, with the black car, that jump over the others and when it hit the wall, the car explodes... R.I.P. Dan Wheldon.

  • @cstiotiosea : thank you. as i drove over 10 years worldwide for porsche, long distance races, all porsche cars u can imagine, also a few F3 races, it's very unusual, normally you get the adrenaline shock at that accident moment and react. he didn't, he only lobbed the accelerator, drove straight into the other car without getting any left or right reaction and didn't try to avoid. the black is at 0:39, at the downside.

  • @cstiotiosea Isn't it Will Power?

  • @3nergizer dan wheldon was the second car to fly in the air. will power is the third one to fly in the air.

  • @rockstarstudio

    try reacting at that speed........

  • When your going 220 MPH there isnt much you can do avoiding stuff like that.

  • R.I.P DAN WHELDON

  • Wow dan had no chance poor guy,..this is slowed down and yet it still looks fast

  • godd

    

  • R.I.P.

  • Should've been Danica Patrick

  • @Gouldielox56 no kidding

  • Damn

  • Rest In Piece Dan!!!!!!!!!

  • what a crying shame that this should happen, maybe a look at the safety of the drivers should be looked at.The same as F1. I know it's an oval but surely something can be done. To many cars' for one on the track. andrewsimpson51 U.K a follower of Indy and F1

  • @iball78217 PAHAHHAHAHAH never met such an immature kid on the internet! You see at this point my immature side would say "you should know its your mum" but no... i'm not a 3 year old.

  • I can't believe that Westboro is going to fucking protest his funeral, FUCKING CUNTS, THEY NEED TO FUCK OFF !

  • Comment removed

  • good thing i dint watch this because it was on abc i dont have that and thank god i didnt watch it because my favorite driver died but atleast he is in a better place racing with arton senna and others up in the heavens rip dan wheldon we will miss you

  • @Dimes329 go die you heartless prick

  • @mattysowls I said it was unfortunate that he died, which it was. I then proceed to say that car racing is basically gay and kinda boring, which it is. But yea it's terrible he died.

  • @Dimes329 Whether or not you like racing or not, you should respect the drivers and those close to Dan Weldon. They are going through tough times right now dealing with the lost of him.

  • @WKRY17 Yea which is why i said how unfortunate it was that he died. It's awful.

  • @iball78217 "Thanks to the fricken money we give to his country... while leaving us to fend for ourselves... YOUR WELCOME Mr. Foreigner?" where do u think he's from? (u spelled foreigner two different ways in that comment, you'd think you would catch on that it's clearly not right?) =/

  • him go "BooMie"...

  • doud earnhard was in there too dead, huh no??

  • My deepest condolences go out to Dan Wheldon's family & friends.

    He was a great competitor who died doing what he loved to do.

    RIP Dan.

  • Damn that sucks. Going from being one of best in the world at racing, and then dying from it. R.I.P. dude.

  • arguing over comments when a man looses his live how trivial. RIP to Dan Wheldon and prayers for his wife and infant son. damn people put stuff in perspective and grow up.

  • Comment removed

  • @MrTautologist isn't that the first one that goes airborne? :S

    wheldon is the left of the that fly at the same time?

  • @bronkoghma there's one that flys a bit early on in the clip, around 0:22, then a bit of a gap to the next 3. the first 2 of those appear very similar liveries, and it's the first of those 2, the one to the left just behind the group of 5 that he runs into the back of, that is dan wheldon, lift off at 0:35.

  • Did the cars died?

  • @7jerryv7 Genuine twat! grow up

  • @7jerryv7 learn English and we'll answer that Paco

  • @flippyflyer That looked like a bad crash. I would hate to see all those cars go to waste.

  • R.I.P

    DAN

  • @nyyNYR2094 That would be: "YOU'RE a fucking idiot"

    YOU ARE

    Oh look, you learned something.

    And I was the teacher.

    I'm a HERO!

  • @zenmaster666

    Someone died you twat. Show some respect

  • @Slipknotrule1985 some1 die every day. why would i act all sad cus some random race driver is dead? im not even remotely bothered by it whatsoever.

  • @zenmaster666

    That race driver is the only guy left of your entire family, I'm sorry for your loss. Should I get you a cake? With tears on it?

  • @TheSuperSaiyan no he isnt releated to me, i dont understand where u got that from. yes please to cake tho

  • thumbs up for cool crash

  • @zenmaster666 Thumbs down for your comment!

  • According to will powers onboard camera he was the lower car that went airborn.  So Wheldon was the high car that went airborn?

  • RIP Dan... You're all heroes...

  • @RiDerMiky003 Most men who die in racing are not heroes. A hero is someone who actually does something to benefit the rest of society. Maybe you can enlighten me how Dan Wheldon is a hero. Just because someone died in a car crash does not make him a hero.

    Carl Sagen was a hero.

    Albert Einstein was a hero.

    Richard Dawkins is a hero.

    Some dude who can push a gas pedal with his foot, is certainly no hero.

  • @codethis

    LOL Richard Dawkins is a stuck up prick who runs around finding idiots to "debate" so he can make himself look smart.

    Dan Wheldon was twice the hero he is.

  • @codethis Hero - a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities... I'd say he surely fits the definition of the word with two Indy 500 wins. He may not be your hero but no reason to belittle a man with greater achievements then your own.

    RIP Dan Wheldon.

  • @codethis in my opinion, anyone who makes other people feel happy risking their life to do that, are heroes... drivers are heroes, because they don't do that for money... it is their life, their passion... that's point of view...

  • R.I.P Dan Wheldon you will be dearly missed know in any race anything happens behind the wheel but when I got the news it came a shock but now your gone in heaven god bless Dan Wheldon

  • Comment removed

  • 0:28,look at the lone black car,that should be Dan Wheldon's car

  • Rest in peace, you were great

  • @iSeduceTurtles What is wrong with you???

  • Fucking race with 100 laps in circle,what a race is that?Fuck money and fun when man dies on way like this.So horrible. RIP Dan :(

  • how long ago this happen / everyone alright? =s

  • Stop using gas and go all electric. It would save lives...Don't you agree

  • @heliaddict2 electric would be faster. electric has no delay going from 0 to full power

  • @heliaddict2 @heliaddict2 electric would be faster. electric has no delay going from 0 to full power

  • This is a sport for people with balls,thrills,big dollars and fame.I for one enjoy racing and will admit when there is a restart,most of us are on the edge waiting for THE BIG ONE,with that in mind ,I do not enjoy hearing about death and carnage.The family must be devistated and it would do all of us some good to stop and prey for those who are dear to Dan as well as remember with respect that this sport will always have bad endings.As well as great ones. R.I.P. DAN

  • OMG this is the fuckest bigger crash I've ever seen. Indy is the most dangerous racing sport, and now one of the greatest racers died in this huge crash. It never should be happened.

    Rest in peace, Dan Wheldon!

  • ABC: He is not SEBASTIAN SAAVEDRA!!!!!!!!!!!

    HE was behind WHELDON...

  • superb quality for a youtube video

  • Death in "slow motion" ... don't you love it!

    Racing fans do.

  • @codethis And this is very shallow.

    I don't enjoy watching people die, I think most people don't, it is however interesting to see what happened. If there's a chance that by having these videos here then people will stop and think about it for a minute, I think it's worth having them up..

    Don't get me wrong, though, I'm interested from a technical side rather than a morbid one, I'd very much like to know what happened completely.. My main question is why they raced here, though..

  • @Teleril Intersting? Really?

    People will stop and think? About what?

    The next race?

    You're "interested" from a technical side?

    Let me tell you what happened ... vehicles traveling in excess of 200 mph crashed and someone died.

    There you go.

  • @codethis You're not very pleasant to talk to I have to say.

    People will think : Why did this happen? and hopefully they'll try and stop it from happening in the future.

    And no, from a technical side that is not what happened, That may be a consequence of it though..

    I don't know, I mostly want to know why they chose this track to race at when it's clearly not suitable.

  • @Teleril I may not be pleasant to talk to, I realize that. But just because conversing with me is 'unpleasant' certainly doesn't diminish what I am saying.

  • @Teleril I disagree. I would say most people enjoy watching others die in the comfort of their homes. Most Hollywood movies / TV shows show death in a callous manner. And people love it.

  • @codethis I dunno, If that was entirely the case then people would glorify war..

    Oh wait, alright, I guess you're right.

    Still, I enjoy watching racing, that doesn't mean I enjoy watching people die.

  • @Teleril People dying on the big screen (or youtube) is entertainment. I'm not saying I'm any better than anyone else. I just find it disturbing in our behavior.

  • @codethis Alright. It is disturbing.

  • @Teleril Exactly. And this did not happen over night. It is due to decades of popular culture. We have been desensitized to death. Good or Bad, these are the facts IMO.

  • @codethis point 2...you say "Crashes and Death are apart of this entertainment that you engage in....I would say when it does happen ... it makes your 'sport' that much more popular. And that is some sick shit." - by watching this you are partaking in this entertainment too. however, seeing as you clearly aren't a racing fan, surely the only reason you've watched this is because someone died, and therefore, by your very own logic, that makes you the sickest out of the lot of us.

  • @codethis my "point 1" appears to have been lost to the sands of time(obviously i didn't click where i thought i had) anyway, quite simply it was to say...

    bloody hell, you're still going on, and still not getting it

    you said "Death in "slow motion" ... don't you love it! Racing fans do." - obviously deriding fans of motor sport for being ghoulish, however you clearly 'love watching death in slow motion' too, otherwise why would you have watched this clip in the first place.

  • @codethis No racing fans do not. Some like wrecks, but like I said before we do not want these people to die, but your so stubborn and set in your ways you only want to think and hear what you want to. You don't have the ability to see someone else's point of view. You only have the ability to criticize and insult.

  • I love the "too many negative votes" option on youtube.

    Typical Americans ... if it's too "negative" ... then "hide" it.

    Just like an ostrich.

    Hide your head in the sand.

    Fucking grow up!

  • @codethis - If you dont like us stay on your own shitty 3rd world websites and news agencies, tool.

    Typical FOREIGNER using 'typical American' in a sentence.

  • @maymeriot you are not better than him for stereotyping all the "foreigns"..

  • @codethis What the hell are you even talking about?

  • Rest In Pieces

  • RIP Dan wheldon <3

    

  • e hoʻomaha me ka maluhia ia Dan Wheldon...well lived career.

    Kapoi.MyVi.net

  • RIP Dan

  • @Rabbitthateats what??

  • @Rabbitthateats Does your keyboard still work?

  • @Rabbitthateats that actually did make me laugh out loud. there is always a place for a bit of random humour. i can't believe everyone's been so over sensitive about your comment. yes get your back up when someone tries to put across a pseudo reasoned tirade, but not a simple bit of comedy, it maybe a bit brash and tasteless(well i hope you didn't taste it), but it's just a joke. sick jokes are usually the best, they help to break down social boundaries.

  • Comment removed

  • Thats why stupid american races like indy should be banned.

  • @equusquagga TRUE!

  • @equusquagga Ban everything that may hurt you. NASCAR, NFL, MLB, NBA, UFC,Walking on the sidewalk, Breathing, playing croquet, doing push ups, badminton, going to work, paying taxes, Love ....

    The list goes on.

  • Dumpert, RIP DAN WHELDON

  • Ведь он совсем молодой был. Вся российская гоночная общественность скорбит вместе с вами.

  • It sucks that he died but isn't this the kind of thing most people jokingly say they watch racing for? The crashes? I never understood it, myself. It's just going around and around in a really fast and dangerous car. When you're going that fast and in those tight of turns you're going to have this happen. It's not a matter of if but when.

  • natural selection, stupid cunt can't drive and gets himself killed, more news at 11

  • @cyric085 are you an idiot?

  • God bless these men, and keep them.

  • lol

  • @fas19cool

    Dead as a dodo

  • omg...

  • Now, here is a conundrum... This event sucks and I dislike it but I won't "dislike" the video because it's not a waste of space on youtube, but if I "Like" The video It'll seem like I like this kind of stuff happening... dangit!

  • @FurryWrecker911 exactly. I dont "like" that Dan Wheldon died at all. But this video explains what happened well. RIP to a top driver. Thats racing, Im safer racing my bike that driving to the event but it is always in your mind what might happen.

  • Holy shit how did anyone survive that

  • Sucks. RIP.

  • Jesus H Christ that was immense

  • do you think dan's car is ok

  • RIP Dan Wheldon

  • Wow RIP Dan Wheldon!

  • ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED

    15 Car Chain Reaction

  • how come someone enjoy the argument for this video ?

    RIP Dan Wheeldon

  • He died =( R.I.P.

  • NOT COOL keybodwarri0r. Spend a week with the CHP and see wrecks up close!

    Grow up troll. I drive for a living (a pro), and wrecks are an ever present danger. Ever day I see crazy crap - freeway speed are deadly!

  • Sad, very sad. Not entirely outside of the realm of possibility on any given race day, but it usually doesn't happen. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the racers and their families and friends.

  • holy shit

  • @keyba4rdwarri0r u pethetic cunt show some respect, a man lost his life and more people were injured, this was not 'cool'. RIP Dan Wheldon such a shame. Thoughts are with his family, friends, team and competators...

  • Oh shit

  • its really a shame that Dan Wheldon dies at only 33 years old. its a tradgedy when you lose a driver racing because a lot of people in racing are all good friends, they dont hate eachother. but at least Dan started his last season with the Indy500. all thanks to J.R Hildebrand. thanks J.R. you did a great thing for Dan. R.I.P

  • woah, oh cooooooooOOOOOoooool! :D

  • @Keybo4rdWarri0r that is not cool! a person died in that crash you idiot

  • @marksman863

    csb

  • Where was Weldons spotter? It looks like he didnt even slow down like the other cars.

  • Positive or Negative most of these comments are a reflection of american culture.

  • @Geo408 i take offence to that! obviously that's a joke, though admittedly not a good one, but not all of us here are american. however, in general, you're so very right.

  • oh my god... o.o

  • God bless him and take care of his family. my heart goes out to the family!!

  • @ all who are having fights with one another. Stop. This is a video which marks the death of a great race driver. Your fights are actually rather trivial and disrespectful. For shame and take it elsewhere.

  • @randomwaffle12 too true. for my part, i am sorry. it's just so hard not to try and get numpties to at least think about the nonsense they're spouting.

  • RIP Wheldon.... unreal crash... couple cars got so much air on that... :/ ... bad day for racing

  • RIP Dan, you will not be forgotten. Such a sad event. My heart goes out to his wife and kids. :(

  • People are so ignorant and selfish until something tragic happens to them.

    My respects to Dan Wheldon and his family and friends.

  • "Police believe alcohol was a factor involved in the crash"

  • @ those who don't know anything about racing.

    I bet you drink alcohol.How many children and adults die from drunk drivers?Which is more senseless, racing or drunk drivers killing innocent people?My point is racing is a sport.We know what could happen.Go spend your time lobbying for something worthwhile ,like drunk drivers killing innocent people.I imagine though you setting in a double wide with beer cans all over your living room floor.What a shame.

    Out thoughts and prayers with the Weldon f

  • I bet this video's gonna get pulled by tomorrow. YouTube's such a bitch.

    RIP Dan. :(

  • Cyber is the smartest one here, trolls usually are, quit feeding the idiot...Ignore the trolls and they go away, react and just prove you are more of an idiot than they are...

  • i was there, i wish i wouldn't of been, RIP...

  • Cyberbully7 u r such an insenitive person and why are watching it

  • Comment removed

  • @DeathSentence007 Yes, RIP. So So So So important. Rest in Peace, as opposed to what? HE'S NOT FUCKING RESTING .... HE'S DEAD. Dead. Not resting. Dead. Worm food. Dead. Ashes. Dead. Not resting .... Dead. Grow up.
  • @DeathSentence007 What does RIP really mean?

    People that died 1000 years ago ... are they "Resting in Peace"?

    They are nothing but dirt .. if even that.

    More than likely they are nothing.

    But are they "Resting in Peace" ???

    LOL!!!

    Human Beings are funny things.

    So naive ... thinking Jesus / God / Allah / Santa is real and all that is real revolves around them.

  • @codethis What RIP really means is "Requiescat in Pace". You're welcome.

  • Comment removed

  • @codethis i know this isn't what we've been talking about, but your anti "RIP" rant is equally comical. personally i believe any associated spiritual meaning is nonsense, however the term is merely a social convention, a turn of phrase. very few people mean it literally. yes it's illogical, but it's simply what you say to encompass sentiments of well being to their loved ones, and sorrow of the loss. it's just an efficient use of language, most normal folk understand what people mean by "RIP".

  • @MrTautologist I agree. It's the same meaningless saying as: "Have a nice day", "How are you doing", "Can I help you" ... all sayings that make us feel better about ourselves.

    We live in a society of "feeling better about ourselves" ... not about actually doing anything meaningful for others.

    Think about it.

    What does saying "RIP" actually do for the poor sap who is dead?

    NOTHING

    ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

    But it makes people like you feel better ... so you should continue to say it!

  • @codethis who said it did anything4the dead person? what u say's not quite analogous. people say those without meaning them, usually, people mean the sentiments behind the phrase "RIP". i'll freely admit it makes the proposer feel better too, after all, there's no true altruism. but u know what, after watching my gran die last month people expressing those sentiments2me made me feel bit better. maybe knowing they're lots of people thinking of them will help dan's loved ones feel slightly better.

  • @MrTautologist I'm sorry for your loss.

  • @PwnageFoU if that was genuine, thank you very much, if it was sarcasm, fair enough but i wasn't bringing that up to try to guilt anyone into backing down or anything, just to show that maybe in some small way the thoughts and sympathies of all us randoms may mean something to his family. obviously if it does it isn't exactly going to be helping them much at this point, but it might a bit, equally obviously it may not at all. anyway, again, if genuine, thank you.

  • @MrTautologist Of course it's genuine. I lost my mother in November of last year. If someone was sarcastic to me about that, I'd sock them in the nose and then sit them down and teach them Natural Rights
