Only deserves 2 or 3 stars because of poor video quality and you can't actually see much.

There's a slightly better quality version posted as the Video Response.

Stan died?

[doctorindy]

He did not die from this accident. Stan suffered a severe closed-head wound, but recovered. He had no memory of the accident, and actually would autograph photos of it for fans. He never raced again. In 2000, he died in a traffic accident in New Zealand.

excellant video!the highlight for me was the woman at about 1.18 shouting 'OH MY GOD!' Not surprised tho tbh, twas an immence crash. thanks for sharing it dude.

Actually, I think the "expert" fellow who said "Jam the brakes!" is even funnier.

Sadly Stan was hurt pretty bad in this accident, but lived to tell the tale. He says he had no memory of the accident, and actually joked about it (he used to autograph photos of it for fans). Sadly he was killed in a traffic accident a few years later.

what was Bobby Rahal doin in the stands, ha not really, the guy in the black cap looks like him. Those safety guys were at the scene before anyone could even see WTF happened...

I get a kick out of the dufus who shouts "too balled up, too bunched up." Every Indy 500 has people like this, spread throughout the stands, all the way around the race track, who say goody, nerdy things from an hour and half before the race, all through the event, and at the Steak & Shake six hours later.

Killed in a car accident shortly after this!!

As I recall he had pretty serious injuries to his legs and feet too. The cars made contact in such a way that the tub of Fox's car was split into two pieces and on the TV replays you could actually see Fox's legs protruding outside of the broken tub.

The amazing thing is how things can change in just a few seconds from utter excitement to "Oh my God!" and shock.

1:14 Some drunk old man is like "Holy fuck!"

:55 I like how the one guy predicts the wreck and yells "OOOOO NOOOOOO!!!"

I love how you can hear Tom Carnegie on the PA. What a terrible crash.
