Boat crash 2 men killed

Boat crash at Key West Powerboat Races 2011. 2 men killed in powerboat crash, November 9, 2011 during the Super Boat International races Wednesday.
I was a spectator watching the races, shooting from my phone. I catch the boat flip, so I posted originally on youtube as "Boat flip" because It was no crash, and no one died. AFTER 2 HOURS, THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER POSTED BREAKING NEWS: BOAT CRASH 2 MEN KILLED (Key West Citizen, keysnews.com), and people start commenting R.I.P., so I changed the name to what the newspaper said !!! I was shocked and extremely scared at that moment. Drivers got transported to the hospital, one died on the way, and the second after 2 hours in the hospital !!!....there is also a 8 min raw video of the crash scene for details ! After 2 days, on Friday, THIRD racer died in the hospital, after a boat flip. Condolences to their families !!! R.I.P

You have to understand that boat is going approx 160 mph, is nearly 50 feet long and probably weighs 15,000 lbs or so. It's hard to appreciate the g's they were experiencing when they hit the water.  Long story, short: body stops, organs keep going. Terrible tragedy.......

These boats need spoilers to keep them on water just like cars have!

bump wave height probably way under 1m maybe half meter too high. questionable if abrupt engine stop would have prevented flip i think. i keep wondering whats with rcs, cams computerclusters for replacements but maybe racing organizations have likely antique regulations as the fifa...

impressive vid though thanks

@SummitTwelve America had a democratic election where you had two choices. You could vote for Skull & Bones member GWB or you could vote for secret society Skull & Bones member John Kerry to be president. I think your precious "Democracy" isn't quite what it's cracked up to be in your mind. Certainly not worth so much tax money and blood shed when tactical drone attacks every time a Tyrant comes into power in the region is all the people really need.

@mookixox How dare you say 'leech', the wounded of war deserve the most support, more then you ever deserve. Iraq has a democratic government now, all accused are given fair trial..it is no longer a crime to flea the country! Tell me how in the world Iraq is to become stable and thrive without such a government? Incase you haven't noticed, the U.S. continues to down Taliban leaders; Both the #1 and #2 man killed within 4 months. Make no mistake, Taliban is dieing.

@SummitTwelve If nearly a decade of war, 4000 + dead us troops (many more crippled and can't work for life so they leech of the taxpayers) and many more unarmed Iraqi's dead and nearly a trillion dollars spent = Success because "Women in Iraq can vote" then I can assure you, no it wasn't. Libyan rebels (new Govt) are starting to impose Sharia Law, which is what the Taliban impose. That means a region of fellow Taliban fanatics will rise up hold all over again. Uhhhh bad move!

@mookixox Get your facts straight first, winner....the U.S. never has supplied Iraq with nuclear technology...You are referencing the small arms and short range missiles loaned to Iraq to help fight the Soviets, a mistake we shall never make again. Iraq is uglier today, but it is closer to democracy. Same goes for Libya and Syria. I think you give the Iraqi military less credit than due...after 9 years of training by the U.S., they are ready to fight alone.

@SummitTwelve Yes Saddam was a horrible fanatic, my point was that Iraq was not run by Muslim Fanatics hell bent on attacking America (like they are taking hold in Libya). And yes I agree at some point Saddam had illegal WMD's (the same WMD's that America supplied to him decades ago you fucking loser). America has already let Iraq fall, it has Muslim civil war and a puppet govt/military that will be crushed by insurgents who are better trained then Saddam could have dreamed of...

[SummitTwelve]

@mookixox With Saddam there weren't insurgents because Saddam himself was a fanatic. He has a long record far before 9/11, scores of Iraqis and Kuwaities butchered...His secret talks and meetings with the Soviets and Iran was a good basis on the beleif of WMD's..and although we found none, it does not mean there were none there. I guarantee you the U.S. will not allow Iraq to fall again, after so much sacrifice already.

[mookixox]

@SummitTwelve Not just air strikes on Saddam, tactical precision strikes on him, his sons and key top commanders. Let them know that tyrants will be crushed and get the hell out of their air space. But they sent troops into Iraq on the lies of WMD's so they couldn't do air strikes alone. At least with Saddam the muslim fanaticals were kept in check, now they will crush the puppet Iraq Govt/Military and gain MORE power in the region. Like they are forming in Libya...
