8 people dead and 12 injured when truck slams into the crowd! Can't imagine the mayhem that followed!

This is where regulations start, and then become so burdensome over time that people go out and stage this kind of event all over again.

I'm always amazed that spectators are allowed so close to the road in World Rally Championship events.

Very nasty thing to happen. I know some people go along to motor racing just to see the crashes, but having seen the remains of a person that got hit by a truck many years ago, it's not something I want to see again.

Apparently people were standing only three feet off the track, right behind a big jump..

I know it is impossible to place barriers along every inch of a rally track, but spectators should use a bit of common sense themselves..
