Ah man, that's total f*cking sh*t!  So sad.  Doesn't matter what hits your head at 200+MPH.  You may be in trouble.

Wonder if this will cause Indy to rethink open cockpits?

Paul Tracy was commentating during the race and mentioned that right after the crash before they knew Wilson's condition. The replay was awful...he may have hit one of the rear wheel pods that had come off another car.

My brothers dog saved the kittens from being grabbed by an eagle!  Good dog!  :D :winner: (they witnessed it swoop down and the dog went after it before it got anything, flew right past them on the deck.)

My brother was going to work the next AM...backs up, kitten falls out of wheelwell...squish.  :hurl:

My brother is a mile from home on the highway, here's a Thud! Looks in the mirror...another kitten falls out of the car... :o :stfu: :hurl:

Better luck with an eagle I guess. Stupid kittens.  Would've been dead anyway,  :( one of the toms or a mom always ends up killing a couple of them.  His dog, they sleep on the dog. He's a good dog.

Someone on Jalopnik posted a set of pics from Katrina, but the Mississippi damages...just wow. http://imgur.com/a/69BbY#109 All we ever heard about was New Awleens...I mean even our own Magic Mike only went to NO to make it right, right?  Gotta wonder how much of that is gone and cleaned up, and/or rebuilt by now. If ever again.

Out riding and come to a red light beside some lady with her dog on her lap. She looks over and gives me one of these 'my dog is so damn cute' looks. I looked back and shook my head no then followed up with....

"You know if you get into an accident your air bag will go off and little Fifi will be in a million pieces all over you."

Her face turns a little green and she instantly moves Fifi to the passenger seat.

What boggles my mind is that a country such as the US doesn't have the ability to recover/rebuild from this.  Whether it's the political will, or whatever, they seemed completely unable to do anything at the time, or in the 10 years since.  Huge areas still devastated with no solution in sight.
