  • the man says that richard hammond was unqualified to drive the car... if anyone could prevent a crash from a tyre blow out at almost 300mph must be jesus.

  • They were never trying to beat any records!

    The aim was to describe what it felt like to be in such a fast car. And he had driven it about six times before the crash. Silly reporter!

  • It was 0.4 seconds from the tyre blowing to it all going wrong, no one could have saved that. And he didnt deploy the parachute on his very last run, he wasn't intending to until he reached the end of the runway. The videos and the top gear episode clearly shows no parachute and the tyre completely blew off. i HATE it when the media twist stories, when they knnow exactly what happened :/

  • What a ridiculous story, riddled with inaccuracy and false statements. The parachute was NOT deployed. In car video footage clearly shows that a tire disintegrated, causing a loss of control. Considering the vehicles narrow track, I believe that njo driver could have saved it. Hammond is a very experienced driver and, if I am not mistaken, has rally car racing experience in addition to his vast Top Gear experience. And the "severe" brain in jury was simply a high grade concussion, NOT a bleed.

  • and that right there is why i dont watch the news.their information isnt accurate and blown way out of the water. if they would shut down all news for 30 days the world would be better and we wouldnt want to here from them again. what bull. get all facts straight first before reporting

  • WTF?! What kind of brain dead retarded dickfaced shit would say that Top Gear TRIED to get the record?!?! Are they against Richard and Top Gear? He went 314.4mph on the successful run. They decided they had time for one more run, so they did and as a tragic accident the tire blew due to the force of the wheel spinning along the tarmac that a small piece of something caused a blister in the tyre and therefore shredded it.

  • Sky news reporter is such a fucking prick. Hammond your a legend who has the balls to live life to the full

  • Its blates obvious that a tyre burst and what one!!

  • How stupid can a person get ? This just makes me furious for some reason. That man with the glasses saying you need to be skilled and you need to be experienced ? Is he daft ? He probably felt like shit when he saw the footage of what actually happened when he already accomplished what he wanted to do just did it a second time and unfortunately the right tire gave out. I commend Richard Hammond. FUCK YOU SKY NEWS !

  • How the f*** would he veer right of the track if his back left tire burst seriously people need to watch what there saying

  • this is bullshit

  • shut the fuck up sky news and come up with a story which isnt bullshit or one which takes the piss
