The worst accident in motor racing history happened at the 1955 running of the 24 hours of Le Mans. A collision between a Mercedes and an Austin-Healy sent the Mercedes' engine, hood and steering assembly in to the crowd. Nearly 80 spectators died instantly.

  • If they stopped the race, the ambulance didnt arrived fast to the injureds.

  • @Feanor89 still...the race continued for eight hours before finish...long after all over 200 wounded & 83 dead were removed and taken to hospital they still went on...Mercedes even approached jaguar to quit racing...Jaguar refused...and even celebrated their victory with smiles & champagne,...a disgrace!!!...it took both mercedes and jaguar 30 years to return to Mans.....

  • "Quick, look up to the sky!" "Is it a bird?, is it a plane?" "Arrgghh fuck it's an engine!!! Ahhhhh!!!!".

  • @4wheelerDJ The race was continued, officially in order to prevent departing spectators from crowding the roads and slowing down ambulances.

  • Those idiots should've stopped the race.

  • I'd rather watch this than 99% of what's on television today
