Other drivers thought that Purley was Williamson standing next to his 'own' car, the marshalls couldn't do anything since they weren't wearing fireproof clothing. The emergency crew screwed up, entering the track on the wrong side etc. Race still kept going during the fire as you can see.

This isn't the whole story - David Purley stopped his car and tried to save Williamson; the crowd tried to climb fences to help but were held back by security with dogs: they didn't "watch him burn." Williamson died of smoke inhalation when Purley couldn't get his car turned over.

It was a bad one.. A realy bad one.. But I personaly find the crash of Tom Pryce and the marhall that died there the worst one ever. But both accidents where realy sick..

If this were rally racing, the spectators would have saved him. These people just watched him burn. Interesting.

Roger Williamson was one of the most senseless deaths in F1 history. Not to say any other driver death should be minimized, but he could, and should have been saved. Such a tragedy.
