[macthefireman]

I believe the final confirmed figures were 85 dead and 120 injured. A tragedy which led to many safety improvements for both drivers and spectators.

[TheGerryxx89]

he smile.....!!!!

[TheGerryxx89]

the man at 0:22 ????

[showstopper9ren]

insane.

[MrTheSolist]

La verdad es que no acertaste en nada

[poderyujuju]

el accidente mas brutal en la historia del automovilismo

[elbarto20101]

lindo palo, se llevo 90 bastardos con el a la tumba

[WatanukiF1]

Mi amigo, tres acotaciones:

1. El piloto que falleció se llamó Pierre Levegh y no Pierre Boullion, venía invitado a correr en las 24 hrs. de Le Mans con un Mercedes Benz 300 SLR junto a Juan Manuel Fangio.

2. Fallecieron 80 personas y no 90 como afirmas. Cerca de un centenar resultó herida.

3. La carrera continuó porque si se cancelaba la cantidad de gente abarrotando las salidas haría muy dificultosa la salida de las ambulancias con los heridos y los cadáveres.

@WatanukiF1 si pero , lo franceses no tomaron las medidias correctas como suspender la carrera, todavía Europa no recuperaba la sensibilidad perdida en la 2 da guerra y despues descalificar a los alemanes recordando el holocausto ,no se explica

[insulinoma]

Pierre Eugène Alfred Bouillin era el verdadero nombre de Levegh. Lo omó de un tío que fue un piloto (de los pioneros) que falleció cuando Bouillin tenía un año. Saludos

[diobislaccato]

@WatanukiF1 Pierre Levegh, real name is Pierre Eugène Alfred Bouillin

Czytałem o tej tragedii-zginęły 83 osoby...

[jscharpf]

that is horrible.

[duncansantan]

a la mala, que la gente tiene que morir.

[carloscsi9]

espectacular muerte R.I.P

[ma55aracin9]

(final)

el impacto fue tan violento que algunos de sus componentes-como el freno neumatico y el semichasis frontal(junto con el soporte del motor)-,hechos a base de magnesio,salieran expulsados del resto del automovil,causando la terrible estela de muerte y destruccion que vemos aqui.

el total de victimas,entre muertos(incluido Levegh) y lesionados exceden las 230 personas.

un efecto colateral de este accidente fue el retiro voluntario del fabricante,el cuel se prolongo hasta 1987

[ma55aracin9]

(continuacion del anterior)

Levegh,en un ultimo reflejo,levanta su mano para advertir a Fangio sobre el peligro inminente,mismo que el primero no consigue esquivar;Levegh acaba tropezando sobre el Austin antes de detenerse estrepitosamente sobre los "taludes"de arena que otrora bordeaban el circuito en los puntos mas criticos,con consecuencias grotescas

(continuara)

[ma55aracin9]

de todos los videos que he visto -hasta ahora-sobre la peor tragedia en la historia del automovilismo mundial,este nos brinda la mejor perspectiva sobre este accidente.

Lance Macklin(Austin-Healey)se disponia a realizar su maiobra de repostaje sin percatarse que Pierre Levegh y Juan M.Fangio(Mercedes-Benz)se acercaban velozmente a sus espaldas(continuara)

[birrman2008]

is that actual footage of the crash??

[eforsmark]

No its animated

[reifsneider]

yea back in 1955 shit was wierd

hahahha

[BigJimW]

The first 6 seconds, you see at least 50 people die in slow motion. Along with the air brake that decapitated a number of people, the engine, wheel, axle, and other assorted parts fly into the crowd killing more.

The rest burned to death.

[Taranau]

That's not a "just glad to be alive" look...

[AyrtonSennaGODsPilot]

people are climbing out from under the wreckage and the bonnet at ;24

[wysiwyg248]

The piece flying at 00:02 is not the hood, it is an Air brake that Mercedes Benz used to stop the cars at the end of the Mulsanne straight. The piece disloged after Levegh hit the Austin at about 200 kph.

[Troylito]

you can see the fans running from that area around the 12 second mark.

[wpsracing108]

haha that guy at :23 is laughing??? is he not...whata saddist

[BMAtubes]

Bouillon was his real name, Levegh was just a nickname

[Troylito]

LeVeghs Mercedes hit the back of another car, then hit the bank.

[pooedcunt]

are they dead bodies at about 00:24

[jerryaltman]

Watching and observing the images I still can't understand how 80 people died in this accident. The audience seens far from the colision point and just some pieces of the car fly in direction to audience. Can somebody help understand that???

[Troylito]

All you are seeing is the grandstands. Yes, there were people in the stands, but there were many, many people in the lounge areas, and the dining areas right at trackside where the accident occured. There were fans twenty feet away from the track eating croissants and cheese at small tables. That's where mostg of the deaths occured. That car hit and threw debris like a stone skipping off water.

[Troylito]

the fireball at 16 seconds is the main chassis of the car that came to rest on the earth bank. The fans are high tailing it out of there. By that time the damage was done.

[luisjeeppr]

muy triste,yo no tenia concimiento sobre de ello.

[heresatissue]

chances are fucking high thats them.

[Waldo701]

hood? thats the engine block..

[Agustinsupergroxxx]

its pierre levegh not boullion

[JujuZer0]

Bouillon was his real name, Levegh was just a nickname, in a way ..

[vidpop]

Dreadful, no wonder Mercedes pulled out after this.

[AlonsoLegend]

I remember seeing this on TV, most horrifying accident apart from maybe the Tom Pryce fatal accident, but the Le Mans 1955 was far more devastating for the crowds. After this accident, Switzerland banned motor racing.

[MRK4JC]

that was horible!

[wawwwaaa]

what are the chances

[maraujo1984]

De verdad muy triste... por cierto Pablogcs... ES PIERRE LEVEGH!!! NO BOULLION

[penguinpunter]

see the heads fly off with the hood

[elmaxxmalo]

joderr vaya ostya

[wak4life]

Holy shit!!! Worst motor racing crash ever.

[Glitcher2000]

Christ! I'm amazed the hood flew that far.

[Ubergood]

80 people died on that accident..

[lucastrinkler]

[vortec135]
