NSX Crash in San Diego

How does it hurt to see how the NSX held up when involved in a serious collision?

It sounds more to me like he is ready to cannibalize (as some here would like) and to auction the usable bits of the carcass for profit, and less like he is analyzing the shell to see how it held up under a serious collision.

IMO, it's pretty obvious how it held up.

Anyone know how he's doing?

He is finally out of ICU and can finally have visitors. He is improving but will probably be there for another 2-3 weeks according to him. We went to go visit him today and though he says he's fine there are still tubes in his nose, etc.

*thumbsup* to his survival. Hope the recovery process goes well. :smile:

good news about him being better.

judging by the appearance of the strewn wreckage, he's a very lucky guy to have survived to (perhaps) drive again.

Good to hear he is improving. I think he'll have a rehab period in front of him, but it is good that he's improving and having visitors.

Not that it really makes much of a difference, but, did they ever find the other car?
 
I hope as soon as he is able, that he revisits the crash site a pay respect to the pole that almost took his life and the car that gave him a second chance. I hope he's healing inside and out. Lesson learned, move on. Best wishes:smile:
 
Hello to all in the NSX family. My name is Jeff Powers...I am an anchor and reporter for Fox6 news.

I understand the driver in the NSX is up and moving around now which is a miracle unto itself.

If any of you know him or how I can contact him I would appreciate it very much.

We would like to interview him.

My e-mail is [email protected]

Thank you.
 
i wonder if that interview is of the driver's best interest...i'm almost sure that there is no flame suit on earth good enough to save him of that kind of "heat" :wink: :wink:

agreed.
I'm sure when/if he is ready to talk he will know how to get in touch with the proper folks.
Aside from that, let him be.
 
At least there is a driver to interview! Get well so your momma can beat you back into the icu:redface:
 
I think he'll decline doing any interviews, don't think he's dumb enough to commit another stupid mistake.
 
Great to hear that the driver is recovering!:biggrin:

I wouldn't recommend contacting any News Media either. Too many ways to twist the facts.:wink:
 
I don't know if anyone's mentioned the obvious.. but how the heck did the seat leave the chasis?!

This means that those 4 bolts ripped through the threads and we need to do something to reinforce them!

It may have saved his life by limiting the g's on the body.. but in general, I'd take my chances being inside the car than outside, over a clif, under another car, rolling on the road.. at at 90 mph..
 
after certain g-loading is exceeded it doesn't matter what car it is or how well it is build- stuff will fail. notice that cars are designed to absorb energy from the front or rear as those are the areas statistically hit the most. in this case the car was exposed to localized side-impact of the pole which did quite a number on it, as we know. obviously it is a miracle the guy survived as no car is designed to withstand that kind of punishment.

What pictures are you looking at?

To walk away from that crash with no brain damage or missing limbs is unreal. That's the kind of crash that requires you to wear a helmet.

Not many people get a second chance.

Simple explanation keeps him from being charged:

I was driving along innocently, 10 mph over, and then the black car came out of nowhere - it was going really fast - it swerved into my lane and I tried to avoid it - I lost control of my car.

No officer, I wasn't racing the other car, I'd never seen it before, it just sped up behind me and man was IT going fast - I think HE thought he was racing me!
 
well...that's a good version for him :wink: but on an interview, the reporters are smart enough to make him say the story they need :wink: :wink:

in the end, with the accident background, he will be shafted on screen...big time....

Exactly. Like how the "engine" wound up in the middle of the road. :confused:
