[vincollo9]

How many spactators were hurt?

[BeckMax]

@vincollo9 Not a single one, it was really a miracle.

[Zecamala1234]

Moriran solamente uno?



[RockFene]

Ostia que suerte tubo tambien el Gonzalo Alcalde y que pena Sergio DEP

[Ashausalabasta]

[psychomantic2]

so tragic

[halterofilico]

En un Aniversario mas de su muerte mis mas sentidos recuerdos a la familia Santander y a los tuercas de esa epoca de oro del automovilismo.

[FITERO]

this was an emerging era of motorsport Chile was very successful, but also ran many unnecessary risks, also the police then worked with very few officers to control the amount of people visiting "the viscachas"

[TittyTittyBangBangXX]

What happened there?? It look like he just took him out randomly..

[FITERO]

@TittyTittyBangBangXX was a so-called "touch of race," a pity that the tires were mounted on both vehicles to over 180 km / h, which ended up on a wall that existed at the Speedway was not taller than of 1.50 m, but it was pure concrete, that, but the constraint that the impact of both vehicles were side caused his death almost instantly Sergio.

If you notice the beginning of the video, and had been a similar play between the same two pilots, in the same way

[TittyTittyBangBangXX]

@FITERO I don't understand why he's racing so close to him. There is a lot of track to race on and I wouldn't want to get into an accident in one of these cars.

[FITERO]

@TittyTittyBangBangXX Because that's the rivalry between Santander and Alcalde, was the fight closed both drivers on the track .... if you look at previous laps the race was very rough between them, so it was as obvious to be touched at any time although they had a wide-track

at that time in the 80's, was very competitive Chilean Formula 3, to the point that "suck" behind a car for the suction was valid at the time of trying to pass on

[gransenador]

@TittyTittyBangBangXX Sergio Santander died while the helicopter of Carabineros de Chile was travelling from Las Vizcachas rallyway to La Posta Central. ( Emergency Medicine of Santiago de Chile). Santander was wounded by the iron of stabilization of the car, in their abdomen, side to side.

[gransenador]

@gransenador In accurate, the dead is almost immediately.

[ilferrari]

What is the name of the commentator?

[BeckMax]

@ilferrari Pedro Carcuro.

[FITERO]

@BeckMax @ilferrari ... and Michael Müller , they commented all the races of that year by TVN

[odsall]

That was bad and on the straight, when going full pelt.

[marceloweckerle]

look the hopeless of mother 1:14 (right side of the yellow car, wearing heavy clothing brown) and after 1:28 woman with yellow cloths, scared beside of man of yellow cap... dramatic!

but santander has a big mistake... wrong move to left!

[BeckMax]

@pc4x4 They are chileans you ignorant.

[BeckMax]

@pc4x4 And so you're mexican as well you fuckin' idiot.

[pc4x4]

@BeckMax nope im an American...

[TheZonda5002]

@pc4x4 stfu you fucking racist bastard. I hope you get fucked by a monkey with an 8 inch dick with AIDS and then burn in hell you ignorant fuck.

[pc4x4]

@TheZonda5002 aww are you mad because you cant get a green card..dont be mad at me just stay at home in your hut and play soccer or whatever mexicans do

[TheZonda5002]

@pc4x4 I'm laughing my fucking ass off hahahahah go play in the mud you numb-brained redneck

[cpov1]

@pc4x4 dumbass



[birneFT]

@pc4x4 all humans run for the life  , and not of funny

[jcynavarro]

add to the horrible safety of the formula 3 cars of that era and the horrible safety conditions of the track... Probably survivable by todays current safety standards and what not..

[quasiphatpaul]

dramatico indeed

[vc210790]

¿Quién tuvo la culpa del macabro accidente?

[Philip83151]

imagine if it would have happened about half a second before it actually did. that guy standing on the track would have been toast

[Nackavich]

Jesus christ what a clusterfuck. Its amazing how unorganized everything seemed after the accident. R.I.P

[lonchi95]

@BeckMax in chile this race was very popular but when happend this is not the same right now maybe if the accident never happend chile got the formula1 or something like that.

[MrGrummes]

The guy in the yellow car cant drive.. It almost looked like he was going for a crash.. The round before he already lost control of his car trying to pass that car infront, which nearly ended in a crash as well.

[MrGrummes]

The guy in the yellow car cant drive.. It almost looked like he was going for a crash

[lassehag]

@BeckMax no it's not mean

[BikerBonno]

@BeckMax

Some silly arsehole trying to be clever

[sdry]

what a cunt on that yellow car. 100% his fault trying to block faster car overtaking him. hope he died.

[ciscotie]

Sergio Santander made a foul driving play intending to run Alcalde out of the track. Stupid driver, he got the worst part of it, no doubt about it.

[Slipvayne21]

So... no spectators killed ?! wow, thats a miracle!

[CartoonNetworklsDead]

OMG! How many tacos were dropped and broken in this horrible disaster?!

[DARTCG]

R.I.P. damn, motorsport is dangerous

[mapache11]

I am happy that he only killed himself with his stupid move.

[pegasuskid0]

UNA PENA COMO ESTA EL AUTOMOVILISMO CHILENO, UNA PENA BASTANTE, AQUI EN ANTOFAGASTA EL AUTODROMO O SEUDO AUTODROMO DE ROCA ROJAS AHORA SE CONVIRTIO EN UN VERTEDERO, UNA VERDADERA PENA, ES CON QUE HAGARREN EL CIRCUITO DE LAS VIZCACHAS Y LO ARREGLEN.

[AndresN4]

@pegasuskid0 realmente ese autodromo de roca roja era precioso, tengo el video de la carrera de formula tres que se corrio alla en 1990 y era una pista lindisima, las curvas eran sumamente interesantes y los autos se lucian mas en velocidad que en vizcachas, ademas en esa pista murio el ultimo piloto en una carrera en Chile; Carlos Polanco en la serie Nissan Sunny

[vc210790]

@AndresN4 ¿De qué se trataba la Serie Nissan Sunny de la F3?

[AndresN4]

@vc210790 Fue una serie monomarca que corria en el programa de carreras de la F3 en 1990, donde solo corrian modelos Nissan Sunny y tiene el record de mayor numero de participantes en una sola temporada (40 autos por fecha) y el ultimo martir en el automovilismo chileno (Carlos Polanco), para que te hagas una idea, es antecesora de la actual categoria Nissan Tiída, donde son monomarcas con autos standard y apoyados por el distribuidor oficial (Cidef por los Sunny y Marubeni por los Tiída)

[8pablo]

una pena.............

[MurphyMonster]

Usually drivers would slow down before going to the garages.

[dazzyboy74]

that guy standing at the end of the pitlane must have been a bit brown in the pants department after that close shave!!

[Elkan65]

Yo vi esa carrera en que la fatalidad sacudio al autodromo de las Vizcachas,Sergio Santander,tenia proyeccion internacional y pintaba como piloto de Formula Uno.

Fue el mejor de los mejores,una lastima,una pena.

Que Dios te bendiga siempre Sergio Santander.

[albferraz]

Awful crash... it doesn´t matter now, but it was Santander´s fault anyway... and the guy standing in the finish line is REALLY lucky, he wasn´t hit by a really close margin...

[ALIENBLADE]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeet

[jbracer86]

01:05 This is pure Chaos! people everywhere running onto the track. I've never seen such a thing on a race track in my life.

[FullTuerka]

Desde esa fecha que la Formula 3 estuvo durante unos buenos años sin actividad aqui en Chile, hasta que se empezo a desarrollar nuevamente en mi querido autodromo de Interlomas aca en Temuco... una lastima el accidente... Cabe destacar que Giusseppe Bacigalupo aun sigue coriendo en la Kem Xtreme Formula 3... es uno de los veteranos en esta especialidad

[AndresN4]

@FullTuerka Bacigalupo, mi gran idolo del automovilismo nacional de mas de 20 años y un gran amigo, aparece en este video en el 2:04, con un buzo blanco que dice ASTER y un gorro azul.

[FullTuerka]

@AndresN4 hace unos dias me puse a leer la biografia de Bacigalupo, y tiene un respetable palmarés! A mi me tocó en varias ocasiones estar cerca de él aunq no tuve la oportunidad de conversar, pero se notaba una persona simpatica... y asi como el son varios los pilotos que llevan bastante tiempo en el automovilismo nacional, sobre todo aqui en el sur... saludos

[AndresN4]

@FullTuerka La biografia de Bacigalupo la escribi yo, me sé casi todo su historial deportivo e incluso le he contado como ha terminado alguna temporada X y ni si quiera él se acuerda, se impresiona con todo lo que se sabe de él en las temporadas de Formula Tres que ha corrido, ademas que es super receptivo cuando conversas con él, si tienes la oportunidad de hablar con él, no te arrepentiras, es una muy buena persona y muy llana.

[BeckMax]

@AndresN4 ¿Y dónde estaría esa biografía como para leerla? Aprovecha de pasarte por FormulaStock punto com.

Saludos.

[AndresN4]

@BeckMax está en el wikipedia, sol coloca "Giuseppe Bacigalupo" y ahi sale completa

[CHAPLINnnn]

La culpa la tubo sergio se cerro cuando lo pasava a alcalde y se engancharon los autos , es inevitalbe q un accidente asi pase cuando dos formulas se enganchan . Podria haber sido peor con todo el publico q habia en ese sector.

[vc210790]

@CHAPLINnnn tuvo, no tubo

[dave140c]

White car pushed the yellow car at the opening of the clip. Yellow car pushed him back when they were running flat out down the straight. Fatal move. Looked like a total disregard for someone else's life to me.

[AndresN4]

Por algo a Sergio lo apodaban el por su manera de conducir, en la primera carrera realizada en Quintero, cuando choca con unas barreras de contencion al seguir de largo, presentia que algo pasaria a futuro

[AndresN4]

For something to Sergio nicknamed him the "Loco" for his driving in the first race in Quintero, when it hits a containment barriers to follow along, I sensed that something would happen to future.

[AndresN4]

Sergio Santander era de esos pilotos que salian a correr desde la primera vuelta como si fuera la ultima, y en carrera, era de esos pilotos insistentes que te buscaba por un lado o por otro una y otra vez hasta pasarte, si tienes el video completo antes del choque, fijate bien como corre, Gonzalo Alcalde era un hueso duro de roer, era dificil pasarlo y en esa carrera estuvieron peleando el tercer lugar por 10 vueltas, hasta que paso lo que paso

[AndresN4]

Sergio Santander was one of those drivers who came out to run from the first round like the last, and race of those drivers was insistent that I was looking for one side or the other again and again to spend, if you have the full video before the collision, fijate well as runs, Gonzalo Alcalde was a tough nut to crack, it was hard to pass and were fighting in that race in third place for 10 laps

[ikramofir]

So sad! RIP!

[nacholuarte]

cuando sera el dia en que tengamos un autodromo de nivel FIA. El mejor autodromo queda en Temuco y pese a ser el mejor sigue siendo malo y apenas mide 2279 metros. si miran ahora la porqueria de la formula 3 chilena que con cuea tiene 10 autos en la grilla.

[bettertobealive]

Damn, what the hell was the yellow car doing?

[f3wbs]

the yellow car made a mistake.... and span outa control so sergio was a goner........ thats why you have to make sure your driving safe

[cozzolinho]

But, did he voluntarily swerve, trying to obstruct the other car? Or was some mechanical issueoccurred?

I'm not understanding...

[weert6666]

una problemo! heada ela missingo! fuckargio!!! LOL (disrespect)

[birrman2008]

it looks so unorganised, with the spectators running onto the track....

R.I.P. Sergio

[Hlover01]

That's how they used to race back then. No grand stands and the crowd would just pile against the walls. It as very dangerous, I think when Pierre L. ( I don't know his last name) went airborne and flew into the mass of fans crowded against the wall, the car errupted to flames and killed around 86 people. Thank God they're improving safety.

[TwistedArmco]

Pierre Levegh in the 1955 Le Mans disaster?

[BeckMax]

You're right, that was an infamous scene.

[SaintBEEP]

if that were true it would be worse than Pierre Levegh's crash, and when i looked it up on wiki, it said nothing about fans being killed, Pierre Leveghs was the worse, 86 other people, mostly fans, died. if this one was worse, we'd all know.

[tommykl]

sorry, but i was talking about levegh's crash.

i just heavily rounded up the number

[Apis4]

I thought once the additional injured died in Hospital, Leveghs crash go to triple figures. ? Horrific crash though.. who the fuck builds these South American tracks with no lead in into the pits.. two of the most horrific crashes in motor sport have been in South America, and clearly been because there was no lead in on pit lanes. The tracks designer should be draw and qauterd.. grrr.. ok ok.. at least brought before court for neglegence.

[basicgroove]

@birrman2008 : that was a other time then yet. before 20 years there was a other safety feeling like now.

[Spannerhead29]

@birrman2008 Yeah but remember it's 1987 and it's in Chile. Stuff like this was going on alot.

[LucaTurilli89]

@birrman2008 it looks like the yellow car driver totally wanted to crash and hit the other car!

[catazca]

hola, despues de la muerte de sergio nada fue lo mismo, mi papá era mecanico de sergio lamentablemente el hasta hoy lamenta la muerte de su amigo y yo como fanatico tambien, en ese campeonato si no pasado este accidente el por mucha ventaja seria el campeon de la formula tres. gracias por el video

[an147]

Murió haciendo, afirmo, lo que más le gustaba: las carreras de autos. Q.E.P.D. Sergio Santander.

[rolfcopter4991]

is he in the yellow car or the blue car?

[BeckMax]

The yellow one.

[naughttube]

that helecopter is old like fuck.....

[BeckMax]

Did you notice the year of the accident???

[jarlonicholas]

There are far more advanced and faster helicopters by that time already.

[rustycageandrun]

22 years ago, OBVIOUSLY

[searay230]

the barriers is like 30 cm high...and people is standing behind them

(no disrespect)

[gelfeldt]

No... basta de justificar el acto!!!... Santander trató de sacarlo justo antes de la meta... por eso lamentablemente para el terminó mal!!!... yo era un fanático de las carreras los dias domingo... era un pendex pero sé cuando un PICOTA actúa mal. Ese Apellido... porque el presidente era su pardre... fueron en parte responsables que las VISCACHAS... desaparecieran en el tiempo... basta de pavadas....

[BeckMax]

Culpa compartida, está más que claro en el video, además no tiene nada que ver la acción de Santander hijo con la cagada que dejó su papá después. No comparemos por favor.

[tereyelisa]

Lamentablemente por querer Sacar Santander a Gonzalo Alcalde poco antes de llegar a la meta terminó mal.

NO HAY QUE PICARSE en este tipo de competencias.

[BeckMax]

La culpa es compartida, ambos eran conocidos por su testarudez y aunque tuvieran el otro auto casi tocando no cambiaban trayectoria. Bravos ellos.

[Arianovich]

Desde ahi que paso con el autodromo de Las Vizcachas?? y que paso con el automovilismo chileno?

[BeckMax]

El automovilismo comenzó a decaer hasta lo que es hoy en día, a años luz de nuestros vecinos argentinos.

Las Vizcachas se fue acortando con el tiempo por la construcción de viviendas particulares y hoy está cerrado, se construirán más viviendas... una pena.

[Arianovich]

Pero entonces no hay posibilidad que con el Chile de hoy que (a lo mejor pensara diferente a mi) tiene el nivel tecnologico y economico y social tan avanzado no habra cabida para que el automovilismo florezca de nuevo y en general el deporte motor como en sus años mozos? ,o aun hoy se ve alguna mejora y esta relanzado algun proyecto o algo asi?

[BeckMax]

Es el deseo de unos pocos, lamentablemente acá los que tienen el dinero sólo les gusta ver tipos corriendo detrás de una pelota. Se supone que hay un proyecto para construir un complejo automovilístico de nivel FIA en el corto plazo, hay que ver qué pasa, pero sin duda sería un gran negocio potenciar el deporte tuerca tomando en cuenta que Chile tiene el parque de marcas de automóviles más extenso de Latinoamérica y el entusiasmo está.

[BeckMax]

Ya quisiéramos tener al menos el nivel competitivo de Colombia, tienen series muy interesantes por allá.

[Manuelonen]

q heavy

yo lo vi en vivo Me gustaria ver la cinta entera. Una pena

[rafa1212121212]

really sad

[djmanosanta]

qué cagada! yo estaba viendo en directo. finalmente fallció Santander.

a los años el papá de santander fue elegido presidente del comite olimpico chileno y se los cago a todos con plata.

mas triste todavia.

[drummerboi14]

wow that guy on the track didnt even turn around.... crazy

[NASCARWWEclubpenguin]

did any spectators died and ive seen that Santander flipped before the massive hit

[BeckMax]

Nope, no one was hurted but both drivers (Alcalde, the white car driver, escaped with minor injuries).

[AndresN4]

todavia recuerdo como si fuera hoy ese Sabado (no domingo como dijeron por ahi) 26 de septiembre de 1987, yo tenia 7 años en ese entonces, vi toda la carrera y todo el momento que lucharon para sacar a sergio santander del habitaculo, es algo que nunca he podido olvidar, he hablado con varios pilotos que estuvieron ese dia en la carrera y me dijeron que el momento cuando chocan, se escucho como si fuera una bomba, una perdida que se hizo sentir, saludos

[macclad3]

O.K. here's my pidgin spanish translation:

I still remember how it was that Saturday (not Sunday as said elsewhere) on Sep. 26 '87. I was 7 at the time, and I saw the ras and the moemen when the two racers fought, it is something I never have forgotten, I have spoken with various drivers that studied this race day and they tell me that when you collide, it sounds like a bomb, a loss that is made to feel (?). Later

[jraybay]

jesus!! . That was a massive shunt :\

[Waitingforriki]

Those guys really do their best to save the poor guy who died. That deserves a lot of respect!

[WWE1119]

never mind I didn't watch the whole thing and now I fast forwarded through to see that it was the yellow car...RIP

[WWE1119]

which car was Santander...white or yellow

[vc210790]

yellow

[Troyster21]

Was that someone stood at the end of the pit lane cos he doesnt even move

[bronsonlee777]

What kind of "medical staff" is this?

[BeckMax]

Well, I see two people from a medical staff, but Santander was trapped into the car and there wasn't an specialist emergency staff so the same pilots tried their best to help... just remember the Williamson's tragic crash at Zandvoort in 1973... it's 14 years before but you can take it as an example.

[Zanomatt]

No. Williamson's death was a direct result of officials not being able to communicate with the drivers. They thought that David Purley was the driver of the burning car and misunderstood that he was trying to SAVE his friend Roger. One official present told an investigator that he thought David Purley was trying to roll the car over to get back in to continue the race. They didn't know Roger was even IN the car til they rolled it over, and found his charred body. He burned to death.

[tommykl]

actually, he died from asphyxation, but yeah.

another example of helping drivers: niki lauda nurburgring 1976, the marshall's were too far, so arturo merzario, harald ertl and brett lunger got him out of the car.

[CRod401]

Williamson died due to asphyxiation but you're right it was an example of a piss poor on track emergency response team. In fact they were very CLOSE to the accident but since none of them had recieved much training nor had the right equipment they didn't really move a muscle until it was way too late. If the officials had gotten there sooner, he may still be alive.

[yiyofito]

este choque marco el fin de una epoca en el automovilismo en chile que recien esta empezando a retornar de una manera mas profesional, Sergio era de Arica al norte de chileno mi tio, muy amigo de mi padre. y era un piloto con proyecciones internacionales para la temporada que continuaba. en arica existe un autodromo con su nombre y existe un vivo recuerdo de el siempre...

[yiyofito]

This clash marked the end of an era in motorsport in chile that is just starting to return to a more professional manner, Sergio was Arica in northern Chile my uncle, a close friend of my father. and was a pilot with international projections for the season which continued. Arica in a Autodromo with his name and there is a keen reminder of the ever

[yiyofito]

THE truth is that this clash marks the end of an era in the automovlismo in chile that is just starting to return to a more professional manner, Sergio was Arica in northern ireland my neighbor and uncle, a close friend of my father. . Arica in a Autodromo with his name and there is a keen reminder of the ever ...

[yiyofito]

[liobeking]

Was there any medical assistance present? Don't get me wrong, it's wonderful how everybody tried to help, but when you're smashed it's no good being carried around like that. Maybe stabilize him before transport, that's the most important part.

[Zanomatt]

He died of MASSIVE head Trauma...this is not a "stop and take your time to stabilize" situation...This is an "Extricate, Load and Go" situation. I know it looks rough and tumble, but at the extrication point he was already full arrest, (no breathing, no pulse), for 18 minutes...so in layman's terms he was already dead.

[dazcouz]

Safety was a joke, people standing on the track ffs.

[FenderBender2]

why was that guy standing at pit exit? he almost got hit

[8pablo]

i don´t know, and i don´t understand!

[pateli]

Now, on a less emotional analysis, I find it an unforgivable neglect that two experienced drivers locked wheels in the middle of a straight at max speed. Alcalde could and should have avoided that.

Encuentro que fue un descuido imperdonable que dos pilotos experimentados enredaran ruedas al medio de una recta a máxima velocidad. Alcalde pudo y debió evitar el roce.

[pateli]

Gracias por el video BeckMax, ese accidente fue una tragedia para el automovilismo chileno. Yo estaba viendo la transmisión en vivo ese domingo de septiembre. Comprensiblemente dejaste fuera algunas imágenes fuertes que se pasaron en vivo. Recuerdo a Alcalde esforzándose en vano por salir del habitáculo con su brazo fracturado.

[pateli]

Thanks for the video BeckMax, that accident was a major tragedy on Chilean car racing. I was watching the race live on TV that Sept Sunday. Understandably you edited out some gruesome passages, I remember the live broadcast showed Alcalde struggling to get out of the car with his broken arm.

[birrman2008]

tats horrible!!! plus i didnt know they had circuits in Chile

[pateli]

Being a Chilean I should take offence for that last bit. But it's rather embarrasing that one of the leading economies in South America doesn't have a decent venue for motor sports nowadays. The Las Vizcachas circuit in the video is no more.

[TJ665]

OMG, that was horrible!
