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.

Because race cars...

@MatrixFactoryGuy lol aww come on. what if the racers who continued to race got in a accident and caused the same thing. Tragic. And did they take the same path where the crash happen?
-
If it was a few thousand,...then maybe, ...maybe they would have postponed the race lol
-
How the hell can they finish the race when 80+ ppl got killed. wtf
-
I just responded to your video but I STILL don't think it is as bad and terrible as your video ! ! !
-
DONT read about this in Wikipedia...
-
well, they did continue it out of the reason stated above.
also take into account that money now seems to play a much much bigger role that it used to back then.
-
No they probably continued because their careers depended on it. Your logic is right on as far as traffic is concerned, but that doesn't mean that's why the organizers continued the race. Money usually plays a bigger part than compassion, and the less you assume the better.
