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.

It was the '50s english was spoken very correctly then. So no matter what holocaust means it would have been used in a correct context.

For anyone who's interested and can get BBC iplayer/track it down, there's a documentary on (four days left to see it as of today) called 'The Deadliest Crash: the Le Mans 1955 Disaster' which has eyewitness testimonies and cleaned up footage.

Fuck Mike Hawthorn for causing this accident and not showing contrition for the many died people he is responsible for ! Fuck him also for smiling at the award ceremony after winning the race ! Respect to Mercedes who broke up the race to respect the dead of that day !
