Actually the 'idiot' who gave my brothers that mustang was my mom. And I didnt think there would be such an inconsiderate lowlife person to say that about the dead. They were the best brothers I could have ever asked for and the nicest people anyone could have ever met.
seems like a normal kid, but he punched his own ticket, had he survived and brother died, he would have spent the next 10 years in prison. That being said, I was his age once and did some pretty reckless things to, hopefully a lesson can be learned out of the tragic accident. One can only feel sorrow for them and their family.
This is really sad. Ive never met then but im close friends with their sister Jessie. Every time i go to Jessie's fb page, i see picture of them with their family and the pictures bring sadness,
is paramount to one's safety, as well as the safety of others on the road. Not saying going fast on the street is wrong, I still do it. Just BE RESPONSIBLE in HOW you do it!!!
Okay, look. I'm 27 years old. Yes, I've done stupid shit like Jon. You DON'T THINK it's stupid at the time, mostly because you're having fun or whatever. I hate to say it, but arrogance got him and his brother killed. That, and no sense of responsible driving. Hence B.R.A.K.E.S. Anyone who reads this should acknowledge that safe and responsible driving
Everytime I hear this song i cant help but break down, it makes me think of Jon and James, two of the best friends i ever had, i remember the good times we had spent together but cant get rid of the image i saw the day of the crash, i was there and saw things i never want to see again. I miss you alot Jon and James wish yall were stiil here.
In Austria we say: Only the best die young! And there's a very good song (in german) about it from "Boehse Onkelz- nur die besten sterben young" I often listen this song and think about my best friend who lost his life in a car crash one year ago...
I hope they're on a better place now!
R.I.P. Jon and James!!!!!!!!!!!! You were the best!
Its Sad That Jon an James died i never meet them but my sister was friend with jon but i lost to of my best friends on 09 26 08 nick white an travis mints my buddy duck was drivin is still alive but he wasent speeding or anything an lost control on the way to school its bad how many of his teen drivers we loose a year but rip jon an james
finniues sad YOU gone man lol IF U are there get ur ghosty self down here and stand by me when my book publish becuase you said when i get my published my book u will by me lol i hate you when you not here and i went NC IN AUG 15 BITCHA AND ANYway my book called "dath'anara" jon and 3rd book trubite for you BUDDY FINNIUES WILL SHALL LIVE FOREVER!!! LOL
i love the part when he was on the drag strip and was thrilled with the 7.99 looks like he was getting ready to follow in daddys foots steps . now for all you people saying e was driving wreckless on the streets .. yes he was and it was a shame what happened to him .. but you know not one of us as a teen who had a car didnt show off and drive crazy once in awhile . heck my first car a a 77 trans am and i went through rear tires like crazy lol .. rest in peice guys ....
jst freaking shut up!!!!! this is a memorial video of jon and james, and here u go argueing or doing whatever u r doing!!!! althought jon was driving fast, he was jst having fun with his brother, jst stop putting comments like it was all jons fault, plz.... respect people, thats one thing some of u dont have...
i wouldnt know, i am younger then him( i know that doesnt make a difference) but i probably didnt live even close to him. but its just sad to looser someone close to drga racing. he was probably going to drag race.... it was hard with scott kalita
his dad is doug herbert a top fuel drag racer in the nhra. that probably why he has nice cars. and what the fuck are you even saying? just shut the fuck up faggot
I'm not exactly sure what "Tony" is trying to get at here. Everyone knows it was pretty dumb of him to drive the way he did that day. I doubt anyone here would disagree with that. That being said, him speeding doesn't take away from what an amazing person he was. You didn't know him so stop acting like you did. You're attacking someone who can't even defend themselves. You're real tough.
ok...you really want my response...your a fuckin 32 year old man saying that you pretty much happy a 17 year old kid died...suck a dick you cock gobbling chock artist. i just said this video was made for his friend and if you don't like it keep your opinions to yourself. i did talk to doug....when i saw him crying because his son/my friends were being buried. until you talk face face...suck a ass. like is said...come to hickory, im waiting! i drive a 2008 jeep srt8...black...im always around.
dude your nothing but a piece of shit. thats jon for you. jon did drive crazy sometimes...not all the time...when he lost controll the rear end of a front wheel drive car came around which usually dosen't happen. your nothing more than a sorry sack of shit. jon was an amazing guy and i wish he were still here. like people are saying...if your friend died would you not to remember the good times? go to hell you sorry sack of shit...and rot there
Listen, all of you that are posting comments that are mean need to get a life. Why dont you think about someone else for a change? has it ever occurred to you that maybe that number one james wasnt driving and number two, many people like myself knew them very well and are really upset by it and all some of you can do is say retarted things...especially u u1. what if your close friend died? think about it...
Well, while I sympathize for the parents, I can also understand what some people are saying. Then again, there's some people in here wishing death to these people for their opinions. But the fact of the matter is, whether they liked "crazy driving" or not, it was that irresponsible action that killed them, and if it had killed anyone else (maybe one of your family members), maybe you wouldn't be so quick to claim these kids were so cool because they drove the way they wanted to. Just think.
I never said he was cool for being crazy, what I meant is that he did whatever he wanted to in life and thats what made his life fun, and for that I respect him.
Wasn't exactly directing that at you ;) But, kinda sounded like that.
The sad thing is, no matter who was driving, they're both gone, and no one's going to learn any lesson from it. But, I guess that was what the "teenage angst" was all about.
WOW i'm still in shock even tho they died 5 monthes ago i can't take it they were amazing kids i knew james but i didnt no jon that much but still i want to cry every second i think about this r.i.p God bless them and their friends and those who go to slca like me Jacqueline de Gorter. Great vid too
that person with that mean comment deserves the following:he has twins. at age 16 they both die in a car wreck.u dont have to be so mean u should light a cigarette and swollow it u buttoxface. go stick a pencil through your ear. go micheal jacksons balls u gaylord
who ever the fuck you are, U1BaBuze, you are one fucked up mother fucker, i hope you have fucking kids, and everysingle one of them dies.. i pray to God if you have a wife she will die the worst way possible, you sick mother fucker, you don't know shit so shut the fuck up, your going to burn in fucking hell for the rest of your life. You nasty fuck
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hey ass O, I don't know shit? Well I know Doug two sons are DEAD. James was speeding over taking cars going back home from McDonald's when he lost control and slammed into the Hummer. This kid was just as dumb as Nick Hogan. Spoiled kids that thinks speeding is a joke... well it's no joke when you DIE!
Wow, FUCK YOU!!! what a nasty thing to say. Your opinion means shit to me. Unlike you, I don't wish things upon other people. My opinion are based of facts. Fact is James and Jon Herbert are DEAD due to immature decision of James to speed, which caused him to lose control cross the center lane hit the Hummer. Lucky for the people in the Hummer to be in a Hummer, If they had a smaller vehicle, they also might be DEAD.
first off, you're an idiot, jon was the one driving. second, your brain might not even be able to comprehend what its like to lose such a good friend, because if you have then it just shows you have no feelings whatsoever. even if he was a crazy driver, its what made his life fun, driving like he wanted, and doing w/e the hell he wanted to. you didn't even know the kids, but you will never understand, so please take your low IQ and gtfo.
You say even if he was driving crazy it was what made his life fun? It is what killed him and his innocent brother you tweeb. I bet if he lost control and ran over your ass or killed your mom you wouldnt be on here shooting off that cock docker.
I bet you money if you were the one in that car with Jon and you didnt get killed and ended up pissing threw a straw for the rest of your life, having your parents wipe the shit off your ass when you shit in your pants because if u didnt die and ended up paralyzed from the neck down you wouldnt be on here running your mouth huh? Let us know the answer to this one, we will be waiting for your response.
lol BaBuze u r one ignorant peice of crap. rofl u r talking bout getting facts straight and u didnt even know who was driving rofl!!!!!!And no matter who dies its always terrible especially when it comes to young lives like Jon and James. Ha and if you even knew Jon one bit you would never say anything like that about him. He prolly would have tryd to be ur friend even though u r one mean mofo.
Grow the hell up you stupid little bastard. I mean it appears that you have already been in an accident and sustained brain damage because you are just plain stupid. This guy has a point, this guy was not taught anything because his parents split up and he never really seen his father so that is why he didnt get taught anything. Just go talk to Doug he will tell you the same thing. He started B.R.A.K.E.S. at of a gut full of guilt.
You would think that having a father who races for a living would of teach his son better. Well dad, you bought your kids a rolling coffin. Kids had no chance when they slamed into the Hummer..... zoom, zoom... kaboom
see how all these young teen punks talk when you tell themm the truth? Their own dad went on ESPN and said it was Jon fault that he was driving wreck less and he paid for it and he took his brother with him. See these kids here do not have no respect and did not learn a damn thing from this boy loosing his life.
then i might as well die now. if i do see him then it woulld have been worth it, and when all my other friends die then i can see them when they die. if i dont see him when i die... then why live in the first place?
