RUSH 2013: Niki Lauda's crash rescue at Nürburgring, behind the scenes.

For the full story check my blog post here: http://goo.gl/upJ9v. Out walking the dog and I happen across one of the most amazing scenes in Ron Howard's new movie; "Rush". Of course, I had my trusty pocket cam... don't know about you but I can't wait to see this movie. Anticipation! More info at http://www.bridgetogantry.com

This was the first post of this sort I've seen, so it's new to me. If it's considered trolling, it was subtle to a first time viewer. (Like me.) Certainly far more subtle than a post I made to a video of Ted Nugent, where I said that video games and music were to blame for gun violence.  (Complete with a reference to the infamous Jack Thompson.)

I'm guessing you're not acquainted with sarcasm or the old 'did he died' response to a video where someone is injured. I am actually very familiar with F1 and was aware that Niki Lauda survived the crash, is still alive today and that this was actually a scene from a movie (maybe Rush), but i thought id post it anyway, is that trolling? I'm sure I saw Niki Lauder on the grid in Barcelona. Have a nice day

Thanks for the upload. Just seeing this one behind the scenes look at Rush was captivating, so I can only imagine how much more captivating the movie will be. (I'm tired of waiting until September.)

I'm guessing you're not a Formula One fan. Niki Lauda in modern times has been getting his share of camera time in F-1 races in an honorary position he holds with Mercedes' F-1 team.

I am from Austria. Niki Lauda is the hero of my childhood.

I am looking forward to see the movie. Surviving such a horrible accident and then this majestic comeback!

Nowadays Formula 1 racing has its advantages and disadvantages, but it is far safer than it was in the seventies.

Nice scoop Dale

really looking forward to this film

They have removed the barriers on this side too I notice so it's as it was then, so looks like they are trying to get the details right :)

[Zitronization]

No, he's still alive. 

[Nastypsychoboy]

Did he died?

[sadalite]

I am surprised they wouldn't have some sort of closed set, I bet they wished they did now! Thanks for posting this, amazing you were able to film that and no one saw you. Ron Howard might have chased you for that footage!!
